Classic Italian fare drenched in "to-die-for" marinara sauce "doesn't disappoint" at Nick Varano's North Ender where an extensive list of wines rounds out the midpriced offerings; "accommodating" staffers keep watch over the "unique", "small" space, which achieves an "upscale" feel with sultry red curtains and chandeliers.

Just found this gem in the North End. My eggplant rolitini app was one of the best I ever had and my homemade rigatoni, scallop, clam, black truffle cream sauce was to die for. Have already made a reservation to return next weekend!

Great ambiance and service, food was not as good as a normal night there. Granted, it was very busy and Valentine's Day. Our pasta was over cooked and soggy and mussels not as tasty as normal. Overall, nice date night.

The waiter - Andy - was very nice and attentive, but we felt that we were in the way.... of the kitchen flow, of the people standing over our table as they waited 45 minutes for their reservations. I do not mind...
