"My family and I went here for a birthday dinner recently and received the worst service. The restaurant was near empty but we waited about 30 minutes before water was brought over. Then we're told they only have 2 kinds of soda that night. No juice. Nothing. The service was so slow. We were glad the food was good but the service really killed the experience for us. Not sure if any of us will be back."

It was okay. Crab cake appertizer was pretty good. Shrimp and scallop pasta was okay. The creamy tomato sauce was the best part of the dish.

The food was delicious. Small but excellent wine list, points for homemade bread. Cosy neighborhood atmosphere. As mentioned, decoration is kind of dated, but service is friendly and you can say that they put their hearts in the food. Beautiful old-fashioned family type of place.

First time dining here after driving by for years and I'll definitely be back! Food was very authentic and fresh. Some of the best pasta I've ever eaten. Great service and had a very welcoming and homey environment- fireplace was a nice bonus on a cold winter evening. Would choose this place over the North End any day.

"I have dined here about a half dozen times. The food is great. The service is not. I was surprised to hear that anyone had good service here because I consistently have had slow, inattentive or down right rude service here. We go back because it's convenient and we work very close by, but our last experience we stood for more than 8 minutes waiting to be acknowledged, the server who finally came over was downright rude. We saw her drop things from someone's table and kick those things across the room. We finally got seated and waited another 15 minutes for someone to come to the table. Their patio had people out there but there was no one inside but it looked like they had only 2 servers working. Our sandwiches did not come with any pasta salad or anything on the side like they used to and our table was missing the two non-alcoholic beverages that were ordered until half way through the meal. My advice is to try Brelundi, perhaps you will have a different experience than we have had. If you like Italian food, the food is worth the wait. The bread is delicious, the pasta and sandwiches and salads are great. Just be aware that your service may be extremely slow, they will forget items and may be rude to you. Also, any time we have gone (at lunch time) I was berated and not seated for not having a reservation so I now make sure I call and make reservations before attempting to go there or we get take out."
