    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 got there an hour before our reservation and they were able to seat us which was really nice! It was our first time there, and I have celiac. We got 4 dishes between 2 people. All were so delicious! Our waitress was very kind and ensured the safety of the food. Only complaint is how expensive it is for shareable dishes, but I would definitely go back.
