this has become our North End go to. this most recent trip, I tried the fusilli special. It was incredible. We keep going back for the food and service. Table attendants are always oin the lookout to fill water glasses, clear plates, bring bread and parm and offer to go packaging. We have had Catino as our server before. He is familar with us, professional, suggestive and on point. I trust his recommendations and appreciate his hospitality.

We had the four wines offered in the wine symposium and really learned a lot. We drank northern and southern Greek wines with dolmas and mushrooms and a lovely pita stuffed with feta and a lamb shank. Every fish was delicious and beautifully presented. It’s fun to sit at the bar and watch the chefs. Highly recommend! And Wednesdays are super busy so get there early! Lotsa fun!
