Amazing. Expensive, but worth every penny. Oysters , lobster ravioli , tuna steak , drinks, atmosphere...all great. Tucked away off the main street. Don't miss this one!

Niki Blaker

The food and ambiance were terrific! Great hidden gem in the North End. The only reason it doesn't get a full five stars was because out service was definitely a little spotty.

Angie Osmanski

The crab cake for an appetizer is amazing! The truffle encrusted tuna A-MAZING! This place is pricey , but good.

Dan Nahill

The seafood tower fantastic with various sampling of raw seafood (and cooked lobster ) excellent taste!!!

Colette Q

Get the oysters , lemon pasta and seafood cannelloni . Yum yum yum????

Jessica Chu

Food is pretty delicious, but portions are a bit small. Order a handful of oysters . The Tagliatelli con Aragosta is nice, but I was more jealous of someone at my table who ordered the Risotto di Mare.

Selections from throughout the Northeast are highlighted, and with special emphasis on the fruits of the sea, the raw bar is the focus Read more

Great place to slurp down an oyster.The raw bar is the focus (and is fantastic), but don't overlook the pasta dishes.

Ashley M

The Wild Boar Pappardelle is on my list of top 5 dishes ever eaten. Indescribably delicious.

Kevin Coutu

Warning: they do the old sparkling or still water trick, and conveniently forget to mention free tap water as an option

Kevin Wang

The Lobster Paccheri is amazing and very reasonably priced (for lobster ) if you're just passing by you can also watch the chefs at work.

Ingrid Wong

Came here for Dine Out Boston and was unimpressed. The only highlight was their calamari , which wasn't chewy at all! So soft and the fried batter skin wasn't too thick.
