    Been wanting to go here forever. Tonight we went over and this place is a gem. Near the North End and Boston Garden, this hit on everything. The only negative, parking is pain. This charming cute old school no frills local spot has a great vibe. We sat downstairs - great vibe with red and white checked table clothes. We ordered house red wine, they have authentic house wine glasses, good stuff. We ordered the garlic bread, so yummy and cheesy. I ordered meatballs and spaghetti which totally hit the spot. Meatballs were excellent and the spaghetti tasted fresh home made and was cooked perfectly. I love plain great pasta. Too many fancy North End restaurants get too bougie and miss the mark. My dining partner got the Chicken Marsala, sauce was excellent and I loved the mushrooms. Best part, super thin slices of cooked garlic in the sauce. We were too full to try desert but they looked, sweet! Haha. Go check this out, fun spot, good food, and surprising low prices.

    My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner. The place is a hidden gem. It had a great vibe - small and very charming. The food was classical Italian and very well done. Good portions, food was delicious, and the service was great!

    Chicken parm was really tough to cut. Got there 5 minutes before our reservation and the door was locked. Was met with “we aren’t open yet.” No problem but service was terrible and slow throughout. Shrimp scampi had barely any taste. The two easiest Italian dishes to make besides spaghetti.

    Chicken parm and lasagna were fantastic. The vibes were incredible. Would def come back if we lived here, but we’re traveling and glad we stopped in for a bite.

    Absolutely delicious food- service was impeccable. The only issue was the closeness of the tables - but I also understand need to make the most of the real estate. I would recommend this authentic North end restaurant

    Tony and Elaines’s- WOW! This place was cozy. It reminded me if you were going to your best friends grandmas house down the street. A very nostalgic place. The food was absolutely amazing! Best lobster ravioli I’ve ever had. You will not be disappointed if you give this place a try.
