On a very busy Saturday night in North End, I was looking for a place to grab dinner, walked right in and was told to have a seat! The restaurant itself is pretty small, it's also almost a fast food spot, since you have to go up the counter to order once you're ready. I ended getting a lobster ravioli and a Sicilian Steak with cheese. Both came to the table super quick, within less than 10 minutes seemingly. The sandwiches are huge (16 inches) and the ravioli was pretty good, rich creamy sauce. Overall, I really enjoyed eating here and the prices are affordable! I definitely recommend stopping in for a casual bite. Only thing is that it gets a bit cramped here with people having to move slightly aside to go to their tables.

Been walking by it for years. Finally went in because we wanted a quick meal before the Celtics game. Very friendly service, salad and eggplant parm came out in about 10 minutes and was abundant and very good. Sort of a sub shop, sort of a fast casual, sort of great.

We were grateful to find lunch here on the very busy 4th of July holiday. There was only a couple of minutes wait while a table was wiped down. They were very busy - just like every other restaurant that day - but our food came out fairly quickly after we placed our order at the counter. The chicken parm sub was the reason I decided to have lunch here and it did not disappoint. My husband and I split it and each half was a whole filling portion all by itself. The chicken was crispy, fresh, and delicious and the bread was perfect, too. I loved everything about it including the sauce. I would recommend this place for that alone. The salad was good, too. I didn't enjoy the meatballs as much, but my husband said they were fine. This was a great stop for lunch and I would recommend trying it

Nice, warm, small business, homey-feel, family-owned restaurant to eat at. The dining area was small, could maybe fit 15-20 people at once, but the walls were lined with pictures of the family that owns the business, gives you more comfort to be dining there knowing that the food is authentic. We ordered spaghetti, ravioli, and ziti. I ate my food before taking a picture hence the missing ravioli. It was so good. They have a wide selection of pastas and sauces, and they all were amazing! Food came out fast too. Good price for the portion you received. Amazing staff that checks on you throughout your dining. I would recommend eating here for those craving Italian food in the Boston area.
