Food was good, service not so great. We sat outside and asked for a umbrella since it was 95 degrees and sunny, someone said they’d get it and never brought it, we asked for it to another waitress and she said the umbrella wouldn’t make a difference cause it wasn’t the sun that was making it warm, just the humidity, ok! Luckily some people who were sitting at a table with an umbrella left and we moved to their table on our own cause the waitress didn’t offer us that possibility. Drinks took about half an hour to come after we ordered it and we were already done with our food. Overall place was cute and their food was good, maybe they were understaffed but waiters should be more attentive.

This is the ultimate party brunch spot. It's a blast - expect loud music, dancing, and very high energy.

I felt like I was standing next to a speaker at a club, the music was blaring so loud I couldn’t hear myself think. The vibe did not match the white tablecloths lol. We asked them to turn the music down a little and it seemed like they turned it louder. I will never come back for brunch due to the obscene noise level. The food was good just bring noise cancelling headphones lol

Location was great. We sat outside and got lucky with a well situated table. The servers were really nice guys but the service was slow and sloppy. The food was average towards decent but way overpriced.

I fully claim to be an amateur but I think I could have made better versions of the dishes I got at home (whipped ricotta, truffle fries, gnocchi, mushroom & pea pasta). Service was nothing special, ingredients didn’t stand out. Sangria was decent and it was nice to be in the Italian District…. I really wanted to like it more but unfortunately I do not think I will be back.

We felt rushed to order as if our table for two needed to be turned over quickly. In fairness, our dinners were tasty. We didn’t really care for the decor/ambience of the restaurant.

Great experience and good spot in the North End. Will come back.

The waitress was very cheerful and attentive. We were disappointed in the chicken Parmesan though. It didn’t taste fresh although the sauce was excellent!

Poorest service I have had in a long while. Expected something different than received. Not a recommended place to dine. Waiter was inattentive and “shew’ed” me off when I ask for something due to him having a problem at another table. I was shocked at the entire experience. Owner should be appalled at how the his staff handles customers.

I was so excited to try Strega. The service was near awful. We felt so rushed. It was disorganized. We got our appetizer after we were half way through the meal. Food was not good either.
