Bring cash because they don't take any type of plastic. If you need cash, there's a Bank of America ATM a block down.

Everything is good, and I never say that. The scampi is one of the best I've ever had. The specials always blow my mind. It is absolutely worth the wait. Make sure you bring cash!

Overrated! Bad service. Cramped inside. Pasta is not made in-house. Long wait. Waitress rushed us through dinner. Go across the street to Saraceno's.

The crab cakes are pretty tight. Save room for dessert!

They don't accept credit/debit cards? What is this the 1980's?
by Paul H.
Best Italian food I've had in Boston. Sure it sucks when there's a wait (nearly always) and that they don't accept plastic but plan ahead and have a great meal.
by Chris
