Crema's Take
“This Italian spot near Back Bay Station trades on convenience more than quality—it's a decent grab for a quick meal if you're catching a train, but reviews consistently flag inattentive service and uninspired pasta that's good enough but forgettable. The eggplant parm and reasonable prices keep some people satisfied, but too many diners report forgotten orders and a general sense of staff checked-out to confidently call this anything beyond "fine in a pinch."”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this location to anyone. Overall the service lacked a lot. The staff were polite but very inattentive. We were seated immediately upon walking in but then waited over 10 minutes before our orders were taken even though the restaurant didn’t…
