We couldn't decide on a restaurant in Boston's North End but somehow chose this one. We enjoyed the food. No, our waiter wouldn't have won Mr. Congeniality, and at first scared us, but that made the meal more entertaining. more

We were greeted by Anthony, probably one of the most Iconic Host's in the north end. He was probably the most memorable personality of out entire trip to Boston. Aside from being sharp, witty and very knowlegable about all things Boston, he was most helpfull in assisting my teenage daughters in selecting entres that they would actually like ( If... more
