Been coming here for years. The Monday/Friday happy hour oysters are a steal. Fresh, briny, goes down easy with their Chica Fresca. That&#39;s my regular spot.

A solid neighborhood spot. The server really knew her wines, suggested a glass that paired perfectly with my pasta. Felt like she actually cared about the match, not just the upsell.

The lobster alla boscaiola was the star. So much tender lobster in there, cooked just right. Their seafood really is the main event.

Went for the $1 wings night. The bar service was quick and friendly, which was nice. The wings were cooked just right, and the sauces were good. Made it easy to relax and enjoy the game.

The melanzane ripiene and veal carrozza were delicious. Portions are generous for the price, which I really appreciate.

Been coming here for years. The chicken methi kadahi is my go-to &ndash; the gravy has this depth you don&#39;t find everywhere. Masala chai is a must. Staff is quick and friendly. A solid neighborhood spot.

Veal was the star. So tender, and the sauce was spot on. Lobster ravioli was solid too, pasta cooked just right. Got my order quick, which is all I need on a short lunch break.

Love the pink decor, so cute! But what really stood out was the freshness of the ingredients. The salmon in my poke bowl tasted incredibly clean and bright. You can tell they source good quality fish. A solid, healthy lunch option in the Seaport.

Tried their secret menu chicken parm over spicy vodka pasta. The chicken was crispy, and the pasta had just the right kick. That was a fun find.

My wife&#39;s gluten-free penne bolognese was the star. She said it&#39;s the best she&#39;s had, and I get it&mdash;the sauce was so rich and clung to the pasta just right. The flourless chocolate cake was a nice, dense finish.

We were celebrating our anniversary and the manager gave us a free panna cotta. It was a nice gesture, but honestly, the portion was a bit small for the price. The dessert itself was delicious though.

Service really depends on the night. Had a great server last time, super friendly and on top of things. Tonight was a bit different, waited a while just to get water and the check.

Came in for a quick lunch and got the lobster ravioli. Served in a little pan, which was cool. Pasta was good, sauce was rich. Lobster inside had a nice bite to it.

That focaccia they bring out first? Honestly some of the best I&#39;ve had around here. Just a simple bread, but they absolutely nail it. Warm, perfectly salted, great crust. Could make a meal out of it.

The hummus with warm pita was a great start. Very comfortable seating, which made the meal relaxing.

Nice spot for a night out. The veal shank with saffron rice was fantastic, so tender it fell right off the bone. My NY strip was a bit overdone for medium rare, but still tasty. Cocktails were solid.

Been coming here for years, and the pasta is always the reason. I always get the fusilli, and it&#39;s just as good as the first time. The texture is spot-on every single visit. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

First time in Boston and I ended up here. The service was really fast even on a packed night. The wine list had a nice local selection, which was a pleasant surprise. I&rsquo;ll be back next time I&rsquo;m in town.

The exposed brick walls give it a cozy feel. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients were in my salad&mdash;the greens were crisp and the vegetables tasted like they were just picked. It made for a very satisfying, light lunch.

Authentic flavors and the homemade tortillas were great. Tried a few signature tacos, each had its own distinct taste.

Service was top notch. They handled my dietary restriction without a fuss. The sommelier&rsquo;s wine suggestion was spot on with the main course, made the whole evening.

Been grabbing lunch here while at the office. The pizza slice is always fresh&mdash;you can tell the ingredients are quality. My coworkers rave about the chicken and fries, but I stick to the veggie slice. It&#39;s just the right size for a midday bite.

Been coming here for years to watch the game. They&#39;ve got every beer you could think of, and the service is always on point. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The lobster benedict is the reason to come. The hollandaise was rich but not heavy, and the lobster itself was sweet and tender. The english muffin held up well. It&#39;s a solid dish.

That meatball is no joke - seriously huge and packed with flavor. Came with friends and we were all impressed. The wine list had some fun options too. Good spot for a casual group dinner in the North End.

The veal parmigiana was the highlight. Solid portion, well-executed. Service was responsive and efficient, which I appreciate. Drinks were good. A reliable spot for a business dinner downtown.

Gets packed right after work, but they handle it well. Grabbed a pint and just sat for a while, the vibe was exactly what I needed to decompress.

Convenient breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Portions are generous, which is good for the price point here. Quality was a pleasant surprise. Got the full American breakfast, eggs were cooked right.

The food was so fresh, you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. Kayley was very attentive.
