A very small place across the street from the Hawthorne Hotel. Great veal scaloppine, terrific spaghetti in a creamy tomato sauce. The best restaurant in Salem.

Also the pork tenderloin in wine... More

The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the Service could use some work, our server, though very feiendly, could have been a little more attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. In addition the bread served before dinner could be a lot better. But overall it is fantastic Italian food at a great value in... More

Guest and I evening of 5/25, she had trout said it was good. I had breaded veal cutlet and it was rubbery and not crisp. Was it cooked properly via a microwave? Was amazed at the quick time interval from ordering to delivery, is this a "fast food" restaurant? Should have sent it back. Louigie lawjf@aol.com

I guess when In Rome, do as the Romans so this place was fine. But to compare it to the North End of Boston is a bit of a stretch. Besides having Italian food and being small, they're really is no comparison. The staff is great and works hard, but the portions are not huge and prices were a little... More
