You've just got to love this place -- for the noise, the intimacy, and, above all, the food. Shoulder-crowdingly small, the storefront restaurant specializes in calamari dishes, black-squid-ink fettuccine, and linguine with clam sauce. There's something about a big skillet of linguine and calamari that would seem less perfect if served on fine white china.

A bit more expensive than I expected

For dinner the least expensive was fish and chips for 16.50. Other than the price it was great. Went there about 5:30 and had a nice quiet meal. Walking by the Barking Crab you could here the noise level was very high. I had met someone I had not seen in nearly 2 years and we wanted a chance to talk, so this was perfect. And the view was great. The waiter was very helpful with our dietary problems. Took a walk up to Fanieul Hall for desert after.

A unique experience

Great food. There's nothing like getting wine in a plastic cup to go with well-prepared, delicious seafood. It's hectic, loud, crowded - but well worth it.
