TERRIBLE!!

by skippykimber

I went here the other day with my parents and I will never ever go back. First they wouldn't take a 6:15 reservation on a Wednesday night. We figured no big deal so we went anyway. From the moment we sat down it felt as though the waitress was trying to rush us out (and there were only two other families in the place). Being with my parents I didn't want to make a big deal of it. We ordered an appetizer, which was good; however, as we were eating the waitress kept yelling at two kids (customers) asking them to sit down and be quiet. Then the show began...from the dining room you can see the cooks cooking and the waitress began yelling at the cook for whatever reason. Then they went into a back area and she proceeded to scream at the top of her lungs at the poor cook using every swear in the book. Did she not realize that her customers could hear her? We had already placed our order so I figured that we would stay, and again, since I was with my parents I didn't want to create a scene. This was the most unprofessional restaurant I have ever been in. Not only did the waitress make a terrible fool of herself with the screaming incident she was the world's worst waitress as she was very mean and short with us. They also automatically include their tip in the bill which was absolutely ridiculous!! I wouldn't have even given her a penny. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Terrible service, rude staff

I can't comment on the food because we walked out!

by rramoni

My husband and I were looking forward to going here based upon the good things we have heard about the food at this restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try it because we walked out. When I asked whether I could have pasta instead of gnocchi in a dish (with a pomodoro sauce, which is perfectly reasonable), the rude server rolled her eyes at me and said that she would see what she could do. She then proceeded to loudly tell both the kitchen staff and the other server that we were very demanding and wanted to modify everything. At that point, we paid for our half-drunk wine and left. If you want to have a relaxing night out, take a pass on this place.

• Pros: Not to0 pricey, good location, homey interior
• Cons: You may end up getting impossibly rude waitstaff

Best (not your typical) Italian in Boston

by alexploud

Wow, absolutely superb! I haven't eaten this well in a very long time. Everything, from the Tortellini Alla Bolognese to the European style cakes was to die for! The service was impeccable. All of this for a very reasonable price compared to the near-by Italian restaurants.

I think this is an excellent venue for a fabulous dinner date with that someone special. Highly, highly recommended!

• Pros: food quality and value and parking close-by on the water-front
• Cons: none
