    Waltham gem for fine Italian cuisine in a cozy contemporary setting with pale blue and white decor, including professional and knowledgeable staff dressed in crisp, blue plaid vests. A polished, but nonetheless relaxed experience. Veal piccata,Red snapper and chicken Marsala were all delicious mains.

    Excellent service, food, ambience. The carpaccio, mozzarella, and bolognese were fresh and served at the right temperature. The wait staff and maitre d were professional and responsive. And the price was reasonable. Will be returning!

    Sadly we were not impressed! Hostess was not friendly… we had a booth by the door and spent the meal uncomfortably cold, hostess would not accommodate our request to be moved., her attitude was not welcoming.The food was ok nothing special… We have to give our waiter Christian an amazing review! He was attentive,polite and went out of his way to please!

    First time visitors, we were very impressed with the decor of the place-sophisticated and comfortable. Our server was great. We had the shrimp appetizer, my brother had the swordfish special, and I had the chicken Marsala. All were delicious. We decided to get dessert, and the lava cake was excellent. Thanks for a nice experience.

    Excellent food and service, it's a bit cramped and loud.

    So happy to hear you had a great visit! It looks like you visited us on a Saturday. Yes, weekends are more energetic! If you prefer a quieter dinner consider coming in on a week night. We hope your next experience with us is just as enjoyable.

    We are a regular of this restaurant as we live just couple minutes away. The food is outstanding, the ingredients fresh, the daily specials amazing, the wine list superb. I am short in adjectives to describe the food. The service is the friendliest. The owner Dante is there daily, going from table to table, checking on the patrons. Great food, great wines and great service.
    Vinotta RestaurantResponded on February 20, 2025
    Wow! Your kind words truly mean the world to us. It’s always a pleasure having you dine with us, and we’re so grateful for your continued support.

Looking forward to welcoming you back soon for another great meal. Grazie mille!

    We went there for Valentines Day. The food and overall experience was great. The only complaint that I have was the lack of service. They weren’t very responsive and not professional enough. Other than that the place is very nice. Definitely recommend to check it out.
