Great during lunch time! Nice outdoor seating and nice variety in the lunch menu . The chicken broccoli penne was delicious

Jake Smith

If you’re here in the fall, they may have a pumpkin ravioli special which is delightful. Give it a try!

Verba Victoria

Amazing food! Go for melanzene (eggplant ) and all of the pastas they have. Great deals for lunch and huge portions for dinner . Love it

Can

Probably one of the best Italian places in the city , however overall quality is lower than other Italian places around the World. Still, the food was tasty.

Ethan MacDonald

The lunch menu is incredibly affordable . Make sure you arrive early so you don't miss out on the menu. They're busy enough to run out of items on the menu.

Michelle Chang

Nice small plate and wine selection ! Penne pasta was not my style but lobster Ravioli was great ! Don't forget to make an reservation especially on Friday night !

Juanita

This place is a gem. Reasonably priced delicious food on Newbury street . The salads are big portions and the Melanzane panini was amazingggg

David George

The best restaurant on Newbury Street if you are looking for authentic Italian food and an atmosphere. Don't miss the eggplant app and their specials are usually must have meals. Enjoy!

Philipp Stauss

Nice Italian restaurant with excellent food and wines . A little expensive but it is worth it.

Barbara L

Wonderful restaurant . Reasonably priced with loads of homemade pasta and a great wine list . The lobster ravioli is to die for .

Sofa B

I had the burrata ravioli and it was like a dream. Fried eggplant between two giant raviolis . Amazing.

The Taste Sheriff

Nice old school Italian place . Imo, it’s only worth it if you are seating outside and it’s warm and sunny. The food is on the average side.

David Drennon

Order a few small plates and share. The food is amazing and you'll appreciate sampling a variety of tastes - all incredibly satisfying.

Tonya Mezrich

Lamb chop lollipops are to die for. Other favorites: bolognese , and arugula salad . Tiramisu is good but a tad sweet.

Judy Luo

intimate space , great service, and yummy Italian food & wine

Tom Carter

Great wine & drinks list but a little let down by the food. Small place, good atmosphere and well situated.

Ron Ranere

Piattini panini no bread . Amazing and not over filling. Plus you get to eat the spectacular bread that comes in the basket.

Perfectly portioned pastas and delicious cocktails . Sit outside if weather permits!

BEST TIRAMISU IN THE WORLD. In Rome I haven't had better. MUST. MUST. MUST.

Adrianne Ryu

Their homemade tiramisu is awesome!

MJ Porto

Great place, awesome food.

Caroline Bellagambi

The food in this restaurant has absolutely no taste - the mushroom risotto had nothing to do with a risotto and the sauce of the pastas was water. To avoid absolutely.

Amelia Sutton

order the melanzane (thinly sliced breaded eggplant , mozzarella , pomodoro sauce ). holy crap; one of the best things ever. Read more

Simon Kwok

Try the lobster ravioli ! It is better than the spinach gnocchi .

Kenneth Holtz

Order the eggplant

Kevin Wang

Best tiramisu I've ever had.

Paul Ennever

Two small plates is about as much food as one pasta or entree.

Dan Gollinger

Pretty good bolognese ...don't come here if u want a true cocktail . They don't have a full liquor license

Rorriz_ Dhawi

I found Hair in their pasta ! Ewww

Carmen Chung
