"in the love of terroni, a warm but wide open Italian cuisine that offers several culinary experiences in its doors. at the arrival they are led to the bar area which has seating and communal space. Their cocktail list is only crying from their Italians, perfectly paired with their style of kitchen. However, if they ask romeo their bar manager, he can ask them on a tour through their eclectic amaros that they offer, with something sweeter, but others either dark and medical or complex and smokey. behind the bar the restaurant opens into a cave-shaped, high covered dining room. more there are several private rooms that make perfect board meetings or party type events; a long table room gives a vintage stonecase from the time it used to be the national bank and leads to a round table room with old vaulted windows and an extensive wine room. eating is amazing, even with nightly specialties I ordered from tonight. I started with a mozzarella and tomato dish, which was so rich, the mozzarella crunchy, the tomato still on the winery, and the brot is the correct balance of butter and crunchy. I then had a pasta dress perfectly paired with a nebbiolo. prepared al dente, I had the spaghetti alla noricina that was finished with a healthy shading of black truffles. this court was all I needed to clean up what was attacked at the last night. this southern Italian cuisine is, yet another winner for the inner city and is perfect for a date night, casual soiree group light or private party. I wish you could try the next lunchbox dinner in terroni."

"Lobster Roll with Bisque. I drove all the way from New Haven just to get this lobster roll! OK, not exactly. I had never been to Boston in my life, the only American city large enough to have major league sports teams where I had not set foot. So on a visit to North America, when my daughter wanted to attend a convention in Yale-town, that gave me an excuse to nick her car for the day and motor to Harvard-ville. I needed an address to plug into the GPS, and after reading Lobster Gal 's review of this roll, it was 'Bob 's Your Uncle! ' At $27, this was the most expensive takeaway sandwich and fries I ever had. I would have eaten it in-house, but finding parking in the North End? No chance. This thing cost as much as the lobster poutine I had at a high-end restaurant in Toronto 's financial district.<br/ <br/ This thing was really just an excuse to eat lobster chunks using bread to pick them up, instead of my fingers. Great meat, wads of it, like I had ordered a lobster dinner, only they put it on bread and drenched it with gravy. This bore about the same resemblance to a common lobster roll as a filet mignon does to a Philly cheesesteak. I didn 't do the dish any favours by hauling it through the Big Dig and across town before I finally found a place by the Charles to picnic with it in the rain. Everything was so soggy by then that I hardly noticed the mozzarella on it. The fries were VERY New England, dark potatoes, skin still on. They definitely don 't make chips like that in Australia."
