"I visited this restaurant for dinner and, although I'm not from Massachusetts, I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the food was. The pesto sauce served with bread was so delicious that you could eat it by the spoonful. The pasta is made fresh in-house, and the flavors were bursting with garlic and fresh herbs. The staff was extremely attentive and polite. The mussels in wine sauce were a generous portion, perfect for sharing. I can't say enough positive things about this place—if I ever find myself in the area again, I will definitely return!"

One of our favorites! The Italian food is delicious and reasonably priced. The only suggestion I have is to start accepting dinner reservations.

The Pesto here is the best I’ve had in a while. Fresh, and free at first with break chili flakes and Parmesan. Oo I was sold right away. Pesto was so good, I had to buy one for home. View menu

Not been in a while . The service was excellent. I ordered the shrimp scampi and the pasta was not cooked and very dry. Switched it out for a Marsala dish and it tasted like a Teriyaki sauce but very dry. Not sure what is going on. Use to be excellent.

Unparalleled customer service. You won’t find a restaurant where you feel more taken care of (well except their sister restaurants in Waltham and Juniper in Wellesley). I’ve never seen my mom eat so much at a restaurant before. Whatever the wait time is WAIT it’s worth it! View menu

A very nice BYOB Italian restaurant. Competitive prices but big portions. My date's ravioli looked more like red sauce soup to me but she seemed to like it. My mussels app was big enough to be an entree. It was a little salty but when I put the leftovers over some linguine, it was delicious. It's a good place to eat.

Had been going here for years however constantly going downhill as prices increased. Recently had a few meals and food was once spoiled (rotten cheese) and another time gross and prepared wrong with in an inch of olive oil in container.Left a voicemail for manager and never had courtesy of a callback. Reviews appear to go unanswered as well. Rather not have written a review, however, had no option. Plenty of other delicious options in area. Don’t waste your time.
