    Pricey, but good value -- especially at a late lunch hour when it wasn't crowded and thus noise levels were minimal.

    The menu is extensive. While you expect the Italian dishes to be great the beef and seafood are exceptional. The appetizers are excellent. At noon the restaurant was moderately busy but very quiet so you could have a nice conversation with your guests. Service was excellent and timely.

    Services are just right; not overly attentive that interrupting the party but it is there when you need them. They have a great wine list. Food are excellent and thoughtful to be big enough portion that can be finished comfortably with normal appetize.

    A lovely place to eat in Harvard Square. Excellent service, white tablecloth type setting. Terrific menu. In the summer, they open up the glass front to the outside. Perfect place for a dinner when attending nearby theater events or concerts.
