    First course was exceptional - squash carpaccio. Second course was ok - veal milanese. Service was outstanding. Tables are VERY close together - zero privacy from neighbors. Decor is vibrant, warm, and rich with natural light. The tight spacing, noise level, and variable food quality eclipse the good parts of Contessa.

    My work family and I came here for our last night in Boston! And what a great experience we had! From the time we arrived and walked into the awesome ambiance to our server Edward (who provided great service with a smile) to the waitresses that brought out our decadent and delicious food! Like EVERYTHING was so tasty! The drinks were not only beautiful, but super delish! Thank you for the experience! We will be back!

    Wonderful meal and one of the best restaurants decorated for the Christmas Holiday season with music playing in the background. Sweet tooth Tuesday was shot, my husband and I had the bread pudding and chocolate chip cookie! Excellent, a treasure in Beacon Hill
