1st time here and it was overall a great experience. the food was fresh and hot.

A. Townsend Peterson
Yes, amazingly, they are back! So happy to have them back with us in our community. We went there for chef Armando‘s, famous macaroni and cheese in Alfredo sauce, which is not on the menu, but which is an enormous favorite with our granddaughters. Tried two different pastas as well, and both were excellent. Had a chocolate mousse dessert, which was also excellent. This is nice, Italian comfort food. Can’t ask for better.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Lawrence! They have a nice wine selection and the meatball appetizer was delicious (and a generous portion!). Their standing menu as well as seasonal specials were amazing and the tiramisu for dessert was delightful. Services was great. I’m excited to return and try more of their seasonal specials!

Fantastic house made pastas and superior service! Best restaurant on Mass Street. Been here several times and the key is the consistency in delicious unique food and superb service. The price is ridiculously low for the food and it’s presentation. A real hidden gem!

I have eaten in nice restaurants all over Lawrence, you name it I’ve been there at least 3-4 times. This place is excellent and a new favorite for me. Great service, tastefully furnished, very clean.

Samantha Lawrence
Sweet, atmosphere. The server was really nice and attentive. Tried a couple appetizers the Spinach Alfredo and the Penne Bolognese everything was very good. Highly recommend.

Food was okay. Probably better quality if dining in the restaurant and not ordering to go. I got the spinach Alfredo except there was no spinach in it. I know Alfredo is usually a blander sauce but this tasted like they did not even add salt only heavy cream and Parmesan. The peas were undercooked and the quality of take out boxes are so poor that any sauce or liquid seeps out of the container. The panna cotta dessert was really good though. I don’t mind paying more for a meal if it is prepared well but this was highly overpriced compared the the quality of the food. Would not recommend for a main course but would order dessert again.

Service was good but it’s incredibly overpriced. I had the bolognese and they actually served it with some regular cheap white toast like you get at the supermarket. For the price (around $20 for the plate) they could have served some actual ciabatta or any other kind of authentic Italian bread. If you’ve ever had any authentic Italian cuisine I’d recommend steering clear from this farce of a restaurant. The bolognese itself was nothing special either. I can make a week’s worth of this plate, that’s higher in quality, for less than they are charging for that single plate. Never again!

William A. Barnett
Excellent food and service. But if you are a vegetarian or pescatarian, do not believe the (v) after the entry on the menu for risotto. It is not vegetarian. It contains chicken broth.

Malyiah Finch
Great people, amazing location, love the different dishes they offer and BRUNCH! Couldn’t ask for anything more!
