On a scale of gross to great, this places gets an "edible." Portions are ample, so if size is your game, you'll win with this place. We had the gnocchi (their most highly rated dish) and the Alfredo. Both dishes went from "alright" when we were hungry to "meh" half way through. Service was equal to the food. Several points through the meal, the entire front of house staff were huddled at the stairs gossiping (prevent patrons from getting to and from the bathroom). Let me tell you, the salaciousness with which they were treating the subject of some staff member seeming to take advantage of the good nature of their boss was lost on those of us preferring the subject of getting good food and better service. North end has tons of great places, I'll be skipping this place for one of them next time.
