Recently, I have begun to frequent a quaint little restaurant in Wakefield, Ma. It has a lovely old world ambience and a terrifically diverse menu. Though primarily Italian, there is a subtle Mediterranean flare to the dishes. Portuguese fare is also being introduced via the evening specials. Portions are more than adequate and can often be plenty for two people to share.
Appetizers are also of substantial portions.
Pasta dishes are always cooked Al Dente which is a pleasant surprise. The house vinaigrette dressing is delightful and light. Waitstaff are pleasant and efficient, and the owner is often seen stopping by tables to chat with the guests. This restaurant gets a rating of 10 in my book, and is a must for those with a taste for Italian food. Bruschetta and littlenecks are great appetizers, and the porterhouse steak, veal marsala and pasta specials are always delicious.
