    Lovely, quiet restaurant off the beaten path in the North End. The staff was very accommodating when we asked to add a seat to our table a few hours before our reservation. They were also accommodating when we asked to split a few dishes. The menu is not large, but offers plenty of variety, including vegetarian dishes. We ordered the mushroom crepe appetizer and it was delicious, I'd never had anything like it before. I had the bolognese with fusilli, also very good. We finished the evening with a couple of orders of Tiramisu, it was very light and not too sweet, perfect. If you're looking for a quiet restaurant in the North End where you can have good conversation and not be packed cheek by jowl, check out Piccolo Nido.

    Went for top golf but food was apart of the package, even though we didn’t want to eat. The cheese sauce used on the nachos was pretty heavy and borderline gross…regular shredded melted cheese would have been so much better. The falafel sandwich and fries were all great though. The top golf malfunctioned on us but they were amazing and gave us another booth and extended our play. Unfortunately the curtains looking over the TD entrance couldn’t close enough to cut down on the glare so the screen was light and harder to see than the more internal booth. Waitstaff was extraordinary and did everything they could to help us out and make up for deficiencies!
