Our Story

A true visionary American entrepreneur at heart, Patrick Buben opened our esteemed restaurant in 2000 to pursue his passion for Italian food. With a particular fondness for the historic charm of Boston's iconic North End, Patrick infused every aspect of the restaurant with his genuine love for the culture and gastronomy of Italy.

After Patrick's untimely passing, his loyal friends and devoted employees persevered, caring for the establishment and striving to ensure it thrived in his memory. It has since flourished into a beloved staple, celebrated for its dedication to preserving the timeless treasures of the past.

Now, with Patrick's son leading the way, we're committed to honoring our establishment's cherished traditions and authentic essence. Enduring through the pandemic that devastated many treasured, fellow neighborhood restaurants instills in us a profound sense of gratitude for our continued operation and ignites a rejuvenated commitment to serving our community with unwavering dedication.

A warm welcome to all who join us!
