Great happy hour spot. There are two levels with the second accessed by stairs. Most of the tables are high top with high chairs or booths. The staff is patient. There is a decent and reasonable for Cambridge priced cocktail list. The fried calamari and flatbread were very good and easy to share. The beef skewers came with a salad. The menu is available by QR code. It was fairly easy to make a reservation. I would come back here.

This is my absolute favorite place to get dinner. Such a gem in this city. All of my favorite people work here and they’re so personable every time I go in they remember the smallest of details which makes it feel like such a cozy place and it makes me feel really taken care of. The food is top notch and honestly deserves a Michelin star. Whenever anyone is in town this is where I take them. I I have been recommending this place to everyone I know and I can’t sing high enough praise about it. Love this place, highly recommend!

We came on a weeknight and it was pretty lively. I really liked the bruschetta — generous amounts of topping and the flavours went well together. The mushroom risotto was great but I was disappointed by the spring gnocchi. Service wasn’t the best that I’ve received

Nice place with a cute lil rooftop bar. Needs prior reservation especially for the rooftop setting. Went here for drinks and dessert. They have some really nice drinks that taste amazing. We were told the menu also changes everyday depending upon ingredients in the kitchen. The only thing I wish is the drinks were more alcoholic than juicy, since no drinks are below 14$. We also had the flat bread for appetizer which was good. Loved their Tiramisu. Our server was really friendly who made the experience even better. Would definitely go again and try out their dinner menu. Seemed really great with a good variety.

Tried three dishes and one drink here. Food was incredible, drinks okay. I ordered the gnocchi. Out of this world. The gnocchi themselves were okay, but the sauce and other items made this dish incredible. The squash and creamy sauce were some of the best I've had. The octopus appetizer was crazy good and the scallops were pretty good from my wife's sayso. The waiter was okay at best, but the ambiance and food drove this place 5/5.

Walked in at 9pm for dinner and was seated quickly downstairs, in a quiet corner, and checked on promptly by the bartender (Brian V) who was also my server. I was between steak tips and pork tenderloin and the server, and he efficiently suggested the pork, which was cheaper. I’ll have to go back to see if he was right, but the pork was absurdly good. It was juicy and well-seasoned, and came with potatoes and two veggies, all of which were perfectly seasoned, tasty, and hot. I was about 3 minutes from done eating when a party of 11 came in to the then-empty downstairs so I waited a little longer than I preferred until he returned, but he came back to check on me immediately after the large party was served their drinks. At that point, I ordered the chocolate cake, subbing the coconut ice cream for vanilla, as I have a near-allergy condition (oral allergy syndrome) which makes coconut a bad idea for me. Unfortunately for me, the server came back from the kitchen and told me there was cross contamination between the cake and the coconut, and wasn’t comfortable serving me cake even though I explained my (non-deadly, but unpleasant) condition more clearly to him, and indicated that I could consume coconut as long as it wasn’t an ingredient I would at worst have an unpleasant evening. Anyways, while I would have loved to try the cake, I VERY much appreciate the server’s attention to detail and concern for my safety. On the whole, the food was excellent, service was very good, and the vibes were pleasant. I will definitely be back, but I certainly hope that by that point the coconut ice cream is in the trash, where it belongs, and the dessert menu contains at least two choices of chocolate dessert without nuts or coffee of any kind spoiling them!

Great food and drinks made even better by an amazing server. Even though the place was packed there was enough seating and the dinner experience was timely. Never had an empty glass and the overall experience was delightful.
