This situation makes me ponder a lot about my experiences at restaurants. Am I being treated poorly, or is it just my perception? Or perhaps I'm the one with biases against certain staff members. I wish I could understand myself better in this regard. To be truly fair to myself and the restaurant, I think I should visit at least ten times and note the differences with each visit. That way, I could determine who's really at fault.
Could it be that the same worker had a series of bad days every time I went? Or was my demeanor off when I placed my order? Did I approach the restaurant with preconceived notions? Maybe there was a miscommunication and the staff member wasn't in the best mood, wh...
I really like the food, I got the fettuccine Andrea. The service was quick and the atmosphere was quaint and calm. They appeared to make the food fresh and my meal was a type of sauce I had never had but that really suited my taste. It wasn 't until I got to the bottom of my plate that I found two pieces of hard melted plastic. Unfortunately I only noticed after acidentally wrapping them in a bite of fettuccine and taking a bite. So I did have to spit out my food into a napkin. After the first one I wasn 't sure what to think to so I took another bite and there was the second piece of plastic. At that point I thought better stop eating, who knows how many are in there . I really wish things...
Food/Travel Influencer Instagram: michaela_romanosmith Review: Went for dinner and had an amazing experience!! Great authentic Italian food, grocery store and friendly staff. Love that they have a large menu with classic Italian dishes, yummy desserts and cookies and Italian grocery items. Food was very fresh and tasteful. Casual dining but great quality food felt like north end or even better yet, Italy : Convenient location in Coolidge Corner. Highly recommend!!! ? antipasti caprese, pasta pomodoro, paste alfredo, arancini ball, cannoli italian cookies
Yummy Pasta deserves to lose a star for the bread that comes with the meal. It's bland and lacks texture, almost like a piece of bubble. I really think they should either improve it or skip offering bread altogether. My personal favorites here are the Cacio e Pepe with grilled chicken and the penne in their spicy tomato sauce.

The bruschetta was amazing. The pasta.. God, seriously I can?t imagine how a human being can eat this thing. It was dry, burnt, tasteless and overcooked. I can really help you to learn how to make proper pasta, if you want. It doesn?t take much, that?s why I?m so surprised it was this bad.
My favorite place to grab authentic Italian cuisine when I don't feel like traveling all the way to the North End! Their bread pudding is delicious! They also have a selection of Italian products for purchase along the wall.
Good taste for a place with so many options. We both have the Tortellini. Free bread was nice. Of course not the same as a 5-star authentic Italian restaurant, but we still enjoyed it and would go back.
The restaurant has limited seating, but they kindly rearranged a table so I could be seated earlier than expected. Plus, there was a beautiful rainbow outside after the rain, which was a lovely bonus!

Great place for a homey, no frills Italian meal. Great to find a corner eatery like this. Also, try their bread pudding...absolutely heavenly!
