We went here for the Date Night on Monday and it was AMAZING! Food was fantastic, service was next level and we got an amazing seat right next to the sign. We will definitely be coming back.

Went to celebrate my birthday and they made it special. A special menu with table confetti. My shrimp Scampi was delicious, and the service was spot on. My daughter really enjoyed the eggplant parm. I highly recommend it for date night!.

We were taking friends around Boston yesterday and had the dog with us. We needed a place to eat outside and we stumbled upon this place. There wasn’t much of a wait even though there were plenty of people there eating. It was a beautiful sunny day and it wasn’t too hot. Our server was great. I cannot remember her name, but she was very attentive to us and our dog. She immediately brought him water when she brought ours. She checked on us several times and gladly packed the food for us that we had leftover. The food was great. We ordered chicken parm, cavatelli, papardelle bolognese, and polpette. All of it was delicious and fresh. Our friends are from another state and can’t get a good authentic Italian food where they live. They were both amazed at how good the food was here and promised to come back on their next visit to New England. The only complaint I had and it is a small one to be sure is that they didn’t seem to have enough umbrellas to cover all of the tables. As a result, two of us were sitting in the sun while we allowed the ladies to sit in the shade that was provided by the nearest umbrella. Other than that, this experience was great. I definitely recommend it on a cool fall day.

We were in town for a bachelorette and had a reservation at another restaurant fall through. The host at Ciao Roma found a way to squeeze us in, even as a party of 7! Our waiter was phenomenal (Saull). The food was absolutely delicious. Thank you for the best experience!

Such a cute spot! We went for a Mother’s Day / Graduation celebration and had a great time. Very friendly staff, great ambiance, and delicious cocktails! They do have things like Espresso and Pistachio Martinis, note it’s in a dessert cocktails section of the menu separate from most of the other cocktails. We all had pasta dishes that were pretty good, there’s also complimentary bread which is just okay, but the dipping sauce they give with it is FANTASTIC (olive oil, honey, red pepper). Would 100% return!

Decided to stop in for a quick bite and beverages when we saw the great patio seating area. On a beautiful summer night, these tourists also had the bonus view of Paul Revere's house. So cool! Dinner included a caprese salad and lobster ravioli. Both came so fast that our attentive server Lina wasn't able to get our drinks served first. Just a moment later, they arrived, and we enjoyed the delicious dinner under a beautiful summer evening sky. While this is just one of many Italian restaurants in the North End, I couldn't imagine a better place to spend a summer evening in Boston

It was a good experience. The atmosphere is great. The tables on the second floor, by the windows are perfect. The food is OK. The air conditioning was a bit too low and we were quite cold. Thank you for having us.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. The food was absolutely phenomenal!!! What truly made the night exceptional, though, was our server, David. He was attentive without being intrusive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel genuinely cared for. His timing, recommendations, and kindness elevated our entire experience. We left feeling completely satisfied and already planning our next visit. This place is a gem—and David is a superstar!
