This is mediterranean cuisine restaurant located in Wellesley Center…read more Plenty of parking. Also note that this place is first come first serve, No reservations! The service was excellent, waitstaff would check periodically to make sure everything was okay! We order pretty much all appetizers and that was enough to fill our palate and did not even have to order entrees. The apps were like regular meals! The food was delicious and filling! We had Hummus, Tzatziki ,Calarmari, lamb beyti & chicken kebabs , steamed mussels and chopped salad with shrimp! The home made Pita was nice and warm and cut so you can dip it into the hummus and Tzatziki. We also used the pita to dip into the Mussels sauce too! Everything was cooked to perfection! Prices were very reasonable $$ We would definite come again! You should also try theie other restaurant in Waltham & Needham, they are also very good!

It's BYOB, but there's no note about this on their site or menu, nor the $10 corkage fee. Would be helpful to show -somewhere- so people know. Our server was informative about the specials, but needed to be flagged a few times. The food came out piping hot and in big portions. Shrimp scampi was okay and butternut gnocchi was way more heavy cream forward than it led on in the description, we couldn't finish it. Place isn't quite my cup of tea, so won't be going out of my way to return.

We live about 4 hours up into Maine and I told my wife that if it involved eating here, I would drive her down twice a month. Places like this are the ONLY reason I would consider urban living.

I'm not sure if it's a Wellesley thing, but the experience felt unwelcoming from the moment we…read morearrived. The hostess looked us up and down and did not offer to help us. When I told the manager that I had a reservation, he did not seem to listen and immediately asked whether I had a reservation. The steaks were perfectly cooked and were easily the best part of the meal. Unfortunately, most of the sides and appetizers were disappointing. The truffle mac and cheese tasted like it came out of a box, the Brussels sprouts were just okay, and the calamari had more breading and filler than actual squid. We were also charged for an appetizer that we did not order, even though it was brought to our table. The dessert was complimentary, which we appreciated, but it tasted frozen. For a $450 meal, the overall quality, taste, and service did not meet our expectations. The steaks were good, but they did not make up for the disappointing food, poor service, and billing issue.

We ordered the salads and all look fresh and very good ingredients. We were never offered fresh bread as I usually are? My weekday lunches with my tuna melt issue ; always offered fresh hot excellent bread? I ordered the Ceasar salad with chicken . It was a good , not a real great salad , it was fresh and was a decent replacement for my tuna melt. But I wanted more of an authentic Caesar taste with an anchovies or Dijon, worchershire, egg and a normal stronger Caesar salad taste, shaved parmesan taste... like I've had elsewhere . It needs more flavor to the salad . it was ok but was just ok .... Dressing may have been out of bottle Caesar salad dressing. My guests their salad selections both looked well prepared . I missed my hot bread to eat as an accompli-ant to an any salad. It is a great dining environment and consistently good.

Interior is clean, a bland and to me unappealing modern aesethic. Service is atrocious. Sat down (with a reservation), ordered food. Took an hour til something arrived. No contact really after the initial seating and ordering. No water refills, no bread until right before the food dropped. I think they literally forgot us; surprising since we weren't exactly in a far off corner. Forget your money, this place isn't worth your TIME.

I'm from the east coast but now live out west, so I'm always craving truly good Italian food. This place was the real deal! The prosciutto de Parma, the bucatini and the pistachio gelato were all fantastic! You must get all 3! :) I actually left genuinely sad because I knew I wouldn't be able to come back again during the rest of my trip! Reservations are very booked up, and you can only get them two weeks in advance. I honestly don't even want to eat anywhere else on this trip... it was that good! And the ambiance and staff were so delightful too! Reservations only open two weeks in advance so grab one while you can!

I enjoyed the food, but I feel like their dessert menu could be a bit more built out. Food: - Pappardelle: I loved the wild boar and truffles in this. The sauce was so well seasoned, and the noodles were al dente! It was a bit hard to share just because the pappardelle noodles are so long but this shouldn't stop anyone from ordering it - Seafood linguine: this was a daily special addition to their pastas. I liked the flavor of the prawns and the texture of the fresh squid, but I didn't love the tomato sauce on this. It felt like it was lacking something, maybe a bit of spice or extra dimension. I still liked the pasta overall but given that I had to remove the entire shells of the prawns mid meal, I would have hoped that the entire dish had a more elevated sauce to go with it

Somewhat upscale so plan to dress appropriately.
