This hidden North End gem's delectable Italian fare is well worth the hunt.

The Scene
Sequestered at the other, less-bustling end of Hanover Street, this North End hideaway feels like your own secret restaurant. Low beamed ceilings and plaster walls make the tiny downstairs dining room feel like a catacomb, while warm red walls create a cozy feel in the small upstairs area. An unobtrusive staff never disturbs the tranquil and romantic setting.

The Food
Immense portions come from the kitchen, piping hot and full of fresh flavors. A bruschetta appetizer incorporates black olives and plum capers, a nice twist on the traditional dish. Textures compliment each other in the gnocchi con arogosta, with fresh lobster, plum tomatoes and creamy pesto. Oversized three-cheese ravioli, spiced with mint leaves, melt sublimely in the mouth. Grilled veal chops stuffed with mozzarella, roasted peppers and butternut squash are flavorful and tender. Tropical fruit sorbet, served using the fruit itself as a bowl, is a refreshing dessert.
