the owner of both restaurants said that they will be rebuilt. This was a really bad one by all accounts; thank God no one was hurt. Hopefully those who were made homeless by this fire will be able to find places to live ASAP. (0 replies, last updated by hiddenboston January 5, 2008)

What used to be a great neighborhood Italian spot has now become boring, overpriced and bland. I have eaten here over 15 times and the last 3 have been very dissapointing. The owner is also the waitress and she dresses like she... (0 replies, last updated by bakedbeans April 28, 2005)
