You won't be disappointed. Although crowded and noisy, the food is to die for. the best northern Italian we have ever had. This place is about QUALITY. Check the hours, not open lunch or Sundays (I think) Realy worth the wait for a special place. The wine selection is great too Their house wine has become one of our FAV's.

TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE QUALITY. I went to Cafe Bella with great expectations, but was very disappointed. The menu was different, but not very enticing. The food was ok, not great. The pricing was HIGH. Little value for the dollar. I'll stay with LaScala's --more value for the money.

Best Food - fresh and very well prepared!. This is one of my most favorite restaurants. Although the accustics make it a loud space, the food is always excellent. The fish is always super fresh and prepared just perfectly. It doesn't matter what you get you can expect that it will taste like a home meal that you don't have the patience to prepare. The choices of meat and fish are great and they always have interesting appetizers - like the roasted figs with gorgonzola and prosciutto - it just melts in your mouth! Service is very casual but never had an issue.

Not what it used to be. Group of eight of us to celebrate an anniversary were left wanting. Have been customers for ten years. Soggy pizza crust, overdressed salad, cold entrees (duck and tuna dishes) show a lack of attention and complacency on part of the kitchen and staff. While people may line up for a table, perhaps it is because there isn't much else available in Randolph. Better off traveling a few miles than to accept mediocrity. The waitress was inattentive and aloof. Bathrooms are in poor condition. Overall disappointing- they're just coasting on past accolades, and thus, going downhill.....

Kate is the best. I travel through New England on business once a month and always schedule my trip around this fantastic restaurant. It ranks up there with any of the better places in the North End and is actually more delicious and more creative. Kate the bartender is one of the reasons I go there also. She always gives me a warm welcome and makes this New Yorker feel right at home in Beantown. The food is outstanding the atmosphere warm and inviting and the prices are great compared to other places with lesser quality. The Saute Pan of clams,mussels,sausage and chile's is reason alone to go. In the dozen or so times I have gone there I have never had even a mediocre meal ,it is always special
