Appetito

1/4 not good, 3/4 worth a go.. well, the calamari appetizer was over batter dipped, and still it the calamari was way overcooked, ya know, rubbery. But, the 'special' steak my husband loved. I had pasta with eggplant, goat cheese, basil, garlic, passed on the italian bacon... a little 'heavy'... but good. I felt like I was in the North End over 30 years ago... lots of activity... but most of us had the Groupon $25 for $55. It's pricey if you have an appetizer. Got a kick out of the waitress Kate. took a while, but was reminded everything was made fresh on the spot. Worth a trip.…

WONDERFUL server DELICIOUS entrees!. The pricing is fair for the quality- it's well worth it! We were greeted immideately at the door by our waitress who was very kind and even offered to take our coats. She immediately brought us waters and bread with most delicious sauce- I think she said it was a tomato basil bean paste? It was phenomenal. She told us exactly what was in it and how it was made. She was extremely knowledgable about all the items on the menu as well as the specials. We asked her about everything and she always gave a thorough answer. Even when we didn't ask a question, she'd give an extensive response about what we said- she was very pleasant. Our food took a little longer than usual but it was worth the wait! The presentation was simply artful. Our entrees looked great and they tasted better than they looked. All around a great experience. I went here with an online certificate and after the certificate and gratuity, I ended up spending $30 for 2 people. I will be sure to go back and would recommend anyone to come here! But I do recommend following my rule of thumb: never order pasta when you go out. Pasta is the cheapest to make and it's always WAY overpriced. Go for the no pasta entrees. Although here, my friend did have a pasta entree and it was delicious as well.…

Terrible food. The food here leaves a lot to be desired. We ordered the calamari appetizer which was super rubbery and tasted like it was fried in over-used oil. For entrees we had the eggplant parm which was okay however they charge you close to $20 and don't even give you pasta (have you heard of eggplant parm without pasta??). We also had the carbonara with lobster that was swimming in sauce and the lobster was terrible- it tasted fishy and chewy.

I would never go back, you are much better off heading over to Comella's in West Newton which is delicious, homemade, and half the price.…

Avoid on Sunday nights, they were out of everything. My Aunt suggested this place and we were excited to try it. We're always on the lookout for exceptional places to add to our collection. We went this past Sunday evening and were not impressed. The waitress got my Aunt's drink right on the third attempt. She then read off a litany of items they were out of. Fair enough, you probably don't get many deliveries on a Sunday. 3 of us ordered the Seafood Risotto. We were intrigued because the menu said I think 'charred' lobster, and we really wanted to experience that. The fourth ordered Frutti di mare. When the meals showed up not one of us had any lobster in their dish. There were 3 shrimp and 2 scallops, along with 2 pieces of asparagus and a smattering of red pepper. We invited the waitress back and asked where the lobster was, she said they were out of lobster and had given us an extra shrimp. Hmm. No apologies. No offer to replace. In what universe is one shrimp equal to lobster? :*). Had we known, we would have ordered something else. It was our server's responsibility to notify us when we ordered that item. Also, there were 3 other occupied tables at the time we were there, approx. 8 pm. Not busy at all. Our server was absent more than she was there, she was also very difficult to understand. She was more attentive during dessert and coffee but unfortunately the damage was already done. When we left, the last table to do so, no one acknowledged our departure, nobody said goodnight, it was truly odd. My husband and I are foodies, we eat out 2 or more times per week, but unfortunately this place will not be on our regulars list.…
