Nearly everything this little autumnal-color restaurant kicks out tastes home-cooked and authentic. The simple, largely southern Italian cuisine is full of game (look for boar, venison, and quail specials) and rich, fresh pastas tossed with equally fresh ingredients. The risottos come perfectly cooked and powerfully flavored. Dessert and coffee aren't on the menu, though. Lines can get long on weekends.

A North End Italian place with some level of ambition in its cooking. Doesn't always achieve the excellence it hopes for, though -- can be hit or miss. Service is OK, space is small (with no bathrooms), kind of pricey. It's certainly possible, but not guaranteed, that you'll do well here.
