        <content>The current issue of the Improper Bostonian (July 7-20) has a quite positive review of this 20 seat storefront on Route 16 at 398 Watertown Street in Nonantum.  Has anyone been there or know anything about it?  </content>

      <content>It was a long time ago, but when I tried it for the first time, I really enjoyed it.  Link to my post from 2002:

      <content>We ate there about 2 months ago, and it was very good.  It's VERY small, but we called ahead and they held a table for us.  The gnocchi I had were delicious, and my wife had a monkfish special that was great.
 
It's fairly "authentic" Italian, like you'd get in Italy, and not too Americanized, so if that's what you like, you'll like it.

      <content>Overall it's pretty good (although it's a few months since we last ate there). They are trying to maintain Italian authenticity, and succeed fairly well.
Hmm, now you have me wanting to go back again.</content>
