We did not go because they didn't have the table ready. Truely, it was like going to a nightclub because the music was so loud. The manager asked us to go down the street as an option for their quiet resturant. We chose to go somewhere else as they didn't honor our reservation and seemed flustered. I then received an email from them to use their direct reservation method instead of a third party.

To me the restaurant seemed like they crammed in as many people as they could into the small space. Our table seemed too small to hold our meals, drinks and bread. My husband thought the TV’s on the wall was a distraction from the ambiance of the restaurant. The food was delicious so that made up for the other things.

The pumpkin ravioli (special) and meatball appetizers were delicious! Get a reservation early as the restaurant is always bustling for good reason. The wine selections were vast and the service was top notch. I will definitely return when I am in Boston!

Very crowded seating- as in you’re bumping into the table next to you while you eat. Felt very rushed, but the food is fantastic and the servers are professional. Just understand that you go there for the vibe, not a peaceful dinner environment.

I made an 8:45pm reservation for 3, only to wait until almost 10:00pm to be seated. No apology, no trying to explain or even an offer to cover a few drinks. Server was lovely, food was fine but not good enough to wait that long again.

Was on time for the reservation and waited outside in the cold for 45 minutes. Very little apology or extra service. Waiter rushed us through our drinks/meal and then waited 20 minutes to collect the check.

The food was excellent, but the service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter seemed extremely rushed although we were one of the first and the restaurant. He took our order , I ordered wine and before my guest had a chance to do the same he was gone. When our appetizers came, I waited until we finally were able to ask for dishes to eat the appetizer.
