With dishes that lean heavily on Italian flavors but are not restricted by any rules of the cuisine, the food is unpretentious and delicious.

    we went on gluten free menu and the food is to DIE for. the hand stretched pasta was the best pasta i’ve ever had. we also had the arancini and the chocolate cake - do yourself a favor and get both. staff was so attentive and sweet, i wish i remembered my waitress’s name because she was awesome. the atmosphere is incredible (if you can get a table in the back i would suggest it, i believe it’s called the rose room) this will be our new date spot for anytime we’re in boston. i already can’t wait to go back!
