My wife and I went to this restaurant on June 11th before going to a Symphony Hall concert. It's only 10 minutes walk away along Lionel Street. We found the restaurant via a web search and made a reservation on-line - assuming that it would be less crowed than the places closer to the concert venue - it was. The... More

We visited this restaurant on a sunny Saturday afternoon purely because it had outdoor seating. We were very pleased to find the food was also of a great standard. The service was very efficient and the ingredients were clearly fresh and good quality. There are certainly better Italians in the city centre but this really had a lovely atmosphere and... More

Found this restaurant by chance... Visited on a busy Saturday evening. Very busy however, service was very good, waiting staff were very attentive. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends.

Thank you Karim and all your staff for... More

Very nice inside. Pretty and pleasant staff. The food is amazing. Enjoyed the meal and the place. Good bars in the surrounding areas too.

The place calls itself "rustic kitchen", but the dining room is presenting itself much higher for the local workers and city living near St Paul's square. My husband and I went for early Saturday dinner and booked easily online for a 6:45 table. We were offered drinks on arrival and transferred to our table on time. I had chicken livers... More

We were part of a large party on a busy Saturday night, so we had to wait for quite a while to be served, but this was expected. Staff were courteous and efficient, as always, and everything arrived at table freshly cooked. My scallops with parsnip puree were perfect, although I would have preferred rocket to parsnip, but that's a... More
