Very Impressed 3/24/2009

I was very impressed. My first time was on a Friday night with my friend. We had no reservations and waited at the bar. By the time we ordered our drinks the hostess had already come down to seat us. She politely waited for us to pay for and get our drinks and seated us immediately. I was suprised that we did not have to wait very long for a table on a weekend night, maybe a 10-15 min wait at the most. The martinis were good and there was a large selection of them too. Glad to see the bartender noticed me waiting right away and asked me what I wanted, right as I walked up (not typical at places in Boston). We sat at a table that was a little too close to other tables but our waitress had no problem asking the table behind us if they could move down slightly. Our salads were great and large portions. I got the shrimp saltimbocca, and it was delicious. Large portion, great flavor. My friend got another dish with shrimp and loved it. She is Sicilian and has a mom who is a spectacular cook, so she knows her stuff and said she suspected that the food took a while to come out, because it was made from scratch. We had no problem with that and it was worth the wait. I was very impressed by the hostess and waitstaff who were very attentive. Also, water was refilled constantly and I noticed food was flying out of the kitchen at a really fast pace. I am coming back for a birthday party. I was very happy with the food and service. Great alternative to going into Boston on a weekend night. Pros: Italian Food from Scratch Cons: Wait for Food more
