We were looking for a restaurant in Boston that was not a chain and reasonably priced. Being Italian ourselves, it is always hard for an Italian restaurant to please me. While the atmosphere was not all that great, my son and I had the stuffed shells and they were really very good. I liked the sauce, the food was hot (important to me) and the staff was very attentive. My daughter had a cheese pizza and that was also very good. My husband had a sausage and pepper sub - not so good. We do not like the habit of some restaurants to cut it up in thin slices. We did not try any other dishes with beef, chicken or veal, but if you like pasta, it was cooked nicely - al dente. Reasonable too!
