"Pros: Highly underrated pizza, excellent red wine, well-executed dishes overall. Cons: No reservation could mean dealing with North End crowds and weekend delays. Unexpected: heartwarming to see a neighborhood-owned Italian restaurant. Reservation required? Yes, unless dining during off-peak hours. Overall Rating: 4/5. Despite busy peak hours, dining here feels like being part of the family. Accurate service, high-quality food, unpretentious atmosphere. Salem Street is underappreciated. Value for Price: 4, Sanitation: 5, Food Quality: 4, Menu Precision: 3, Service Quality: 5, Timing: 4, Decor: 4, Access: 5 (5=best, 1=worst)"
