Steve "Steve Garfield" G.'s Profile

Giovanni came in to quote us painting for two rooms. It was a rainy week and he had outside painting done, so he asked if we wanted the job to start the next day, we said yes.
Giovanni came in with four guys and finished in two days.
We've got an old house with horse hair plaster and the walls had lots of old wallpaper on them.
They stripped all the wall paper and then sis a skim coat over the walls to make them nice and smooth. That's why you hire an experienced professional like Giovanni.
I'd have to say Giovanni and his crew did a perfect job.
There were a couple of scratches on our wood flor from where moved out dresser, so I'd make sure they are careful moving your furniture. We filled those scratches in with a wood crayon. His guys also painted and caulked the 1910 window sashes where you unscrew them to replace sash cords. My wife likes the clean look, I had to remove a sash to replace a cord right after, and it wasn't a big problem. If you don't want them caulked and painted, just let them know beforehand.

ONe of the best burgers in Boston. When you time it right you can sit in the bar. There's a good selection of draft beers and the last time we visited we had the most amazing burger. Served very uniquely on a plank.

Delfinio's gets five stars from me.
We've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. We've got our favorite dishes, but are always surprised by the specials when we try them.
This week there was an appetizer that was stuffed with short ribs and risotto. Amazing! The special was a cod with all kinds of vegetables with it.
Love it here.
The staff is great and the host is the best.

My neighbor has AAA Sparking come every year. I called them after Thanksgiving and they came they next week although they were booked weeks in advance. Nice worker also took care of nailing back in a piece of wood that was too high for me to reach.

We had very good service. Scallops and Tortellini were very good. Wine was also very good. We'll be back.
I had the Bolognese special. Bolognese is one of my favorite dishes and I like to compare how each restaurant makes is. This was an AMAZING Bolognese. I loved it. Right up there with the best ever. I was here with a party of 4 and everyone loved their meals. We also had a nice bottle of a Sangiovese - Merlot blend which was very good too. We will be coming back again.
We had reservations on a Saturday night for 6:30. They gave is a cute pizza slice pager and ended up calling us in for our reservation at 7:00.
As others have said, this place is LOUD. I mean really loud. We were seated by the bar, and a large group came in, so that added to the noise, but after they left it was still loud. I saw in other reviews that it's also loud on other nights. I'd like to see for myself. The noise level would keep me from coming for a quiet dinner, but I'll be back, maybe a bit earlier to see if it's quieter.

Based on the prior review we came here and we are glad we did. First of all the staff is so frinedly. They greeted us nad made us feel very welcome. It's a bright and cheery place with a tropical theme. We had their popular fish and chips and everyone liked it. We also took advantage of happy hour prices on drinks. We will be back.

There's a sign that days, 'Order Pizzas here' but unlike most places, you also pay there too. So you need to be prepared to order and wait at the same place. Great cheese pizza slices.

The menu is a lot of fun! I'd read here about the tater tots and ened up getting them with my cranberry and turkey sandwich. Delicious.
It was pretty noisy, not sure what they can do about that. Maybe next time I'll try a different time.
The menu has lots of fun choices like mac and cheese and hot dogs. This is a great place to take someone for a surprise who likes beer and comfort food.
