We tried their “special “ meatball… stuffed with mozzarella appetizer; it would have been much more pleasing with a scoop of ricotta; despite being “stuffed” the innards appeared to be simply meat. Yes, they were tasty! Who doesn’t love a meatball! The bread is not delivered hot. Overall, the food could have been hotter; and the chicken picatta meal could have been less dry with a bit of added lemon sauce and perhaps an added lemon wedge but definitely hotter and more tasty. I did ask our waiter to spruce it up a bit and he was kind enough to take my plate back & do just that, thank you! The pasta fagouli soup presentation was disappointing for $14!! Not what I recall from prior experiences… twas a large bowl with plenty of pasta & well cooked beans. While, It too was tasty too I was told they switched bowls to “have more table space but again skimpy on the pasta & the beans were a tad undercooked. hmmm… The ambience is lively. Many to choose from in the North End.
