Atmosphere inside was nice. Food overated and overpriced. I am not one for "fancy" food. We left hungry and disappointed. Waitstaff was prompt and attentative as they were not very busy. Overall if you like gourmet food I'd rate it a 3 on a scale 1 to 5. I much prefer the Cafe Escadrille in Burlington for special occasions or The Salem Wood Cafe in Malden for a more casual dinner.
Pros: Atmosphere, Easy to get to
Cons: Food just average - portions small

Went here for rest week - Winter as I thought the menu looked great & I was not disappointed. We were pleasantly surprised at how romantic & intimate the interior is compared to the exterior! The portions were more than adequate, the eggplant & goat cheese appetizer was melt in your mouth yummy! The wine menu was filled with wonderful Italian wines and we were very pleased to see our favorite Chianti Classico wine on there. Overall it was an excellent dining experience & one we will repeat again soon!!!
Pros: ambience, food, value
Cons: parking
