This is a cash only restaurant. There's only around 20 seats but we were able to walk in on a Sunday around lunchtime.They'll serve you bread as soon as you sit down. The house salad is super fresh and the veggies are crispy. Greater starter if you're wanting some greens. The black pasta and linguines are also good choices to order. They are served in the same pan used to cook the dish! The seafood platter was decent but not worth the price in my opinion. I'll probably just stick to the noodle/pasta dishes going forward.

There are so many Italian restaurants here in the north end of Boston but this one stands out. It’s a tiny restaurant serving huge flavors! I have never had a better seafood pasta anywhere else.

This restaurant is tiny. I am not exaggerating. But if you can get in it is totally worth it. They serve up the food old school in skillets. I have the seafood in the white wine sauce and Brian had his in the red Diablo sauce. Both plates were absolutely delicious. Our service was wonderful. It's a must if you're going through the North end. But be warned it is tiny and hard to get into.
Got to enjoy the best clam chowder I’ve ever had! The staff were attentive and the service was great!The monkfish dish was also quite good.Highly recommend if you’re looking for good food while in Boston!

So nice black pasta!Since the room in the restaurant is compact, we, 4 adults and 5 kids worried about we couldn't get in there. But the staff kindly prepared a table so that we could really enjoy the outstanding pasta.Kid-friendliness: They have a chair for kids.

Food is 5 stars. My wife was told there was a 15-minute wait, and she waited. Then they turned her away because they wouldn't accommodate a baby stroller. They said we had to leave it outside. Why not tell her upfront?

This place got recommended to us when we were still in our home city so we decided to check it out when we got to Boston. It’s very small and you share tables with other people (which I love) so there’s a short wait if you get there on time. The service is super quick and the food was absolutely incredible. The experience was fast paced - we were in and out in about 40 minutes. We absolutely loved it! Bring cash - they don’t accept cards. It was a short walk from our hotel. I recommend walking or taking an Uber because parking on Hanover St. can be difficult.
