The scallops melted in your mouth and the pasta was so tender. The wait staff took care of us with a complimentary dessert bday drink and sang me happy birthday! We were also surprised by two operatic singers who were really good! Lovely experience. First time in Boston. Small restaurant so book early. The seating is tight but not where you couldn’t have a conversation. We will be back!
