Fodor's Review:
This tiny oyster bar, the first of its kind in the neighborhood, has only six tables, but the long marble bar has extra seating for a dozen more and mirrors hang over the bar with handwritten menus. From there, watch the oyster shuckers as they deftly undo handfuls of bivalves. The plateau di frutti di mare is a gleaming tower of oysters and other raw-bar items piled over ice that you can order from the slip of paper they pass out listing each day's crustacean options. And the lobster roll, hot or cold, overflows with meat. Service is prompt even when it gets busy (as it is most of the time). Go early to avoid a long wait.

Excellent little charming seafood restaurant
Posted by McAvinney from Cambridge, MA on 4/8/07
This restaurant is tiny so you don't want to go at a popular time. Excellent quality raw bar and delicious interesting seafoood dishes. Excellent wine list as well. Charming atmosphere but be prepared for it being loud. Not particularly Italian although it is Italian and in the North End.
