"Sophistication in dining is the mark of this Somerville eatery"
The Princeton Packet, August 10, 2000

"Dim lighting, off-white table linens, and the crisply decorated space command an air of respect despite the steady murmur of jovial conversation on a busy night." "Moss green walls against white wainscoting make a sharp backdrop for artfully framed contemporary prints that add a lot of charm. And oversized plates with colorful rims make for a striking table presentation."

"The tasteful décor and relaxed atmosphere is a most appropriate setting for food that is stylish yet unassuming." "Clams Oreganato featured tiny clams with an aggressively seasoned breading, perfect in the strength of its flavor." "A dense, but satisfying appetizer of Spedini Alla Romano was a find." "An expressive seasoning and the wonderful properties of shallots came forward in the Veal Funghi."

"Desserts pleased us all."
