    Food was excellent. Service was great. Prices were reasonable. Easy parking near city hall. Only bump in the experience was the hipster dude with the flannel shirt and blonde streak working the hostess stand that had an attitude and no idea how to manage table seating. He needs to go asap. Otherwise everything was awesome.

    A gem in downtown Worcester. After going to the VanGogh exhibit, it made sense to dine here afterward and we were very glad we did! The menu was terrific and our server was excellent. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the ambiance.

    Each part of the meal came out perfect and on time. We got the Fra Diavlo mussels for an appetizer. It was a huge plate full of delicious and perfectly cooked mussels with plenty of sauce. We each ordered an entree. The food was excellent and very rich. There were plenty of leftovers so I would say the portions were large. The waiter was very attentive to all our needs. The atmosphere was quiet. There was a little difficulty finding parking as the lot next door has changed the way to park there.
