I felt like I was "back home" in a Boston Italian restaurant. I let our waiter know that we had never been there and hoped to be impressed since we have our "favorite" italian restaurants but were here on a recommendation. Their specials all sounded fabulous. I had the gnocchi with spinach and tomatoes - yum. We all loved the food. Most of all, this restaurant truly puts the emphasis on service. The staff was all attentive and it showed.
