You’re not just ordering dinner—you’re investing in an experience that delivers on every promise. Our grilled beef tenderloin arrives perfectly cooked with port wine and balsamic reduction, paired with seasonal vegetables that actually complement the meat instead of competing with it.
Each steak is selected for quality, not convenience. When you’re celebrating something important or treating yourself to what you deserve, you’ll taste why our guests return again and again.
The difference shows in details most restaurants skip: the sear that locks in flavor, the timing that ensures your steak arrives at the perfect temperature, the sides that enhance rather than distract.
We’ve been serving Lexington and the Greater Boston area since 2004, earning our reputation one perfectly prepared meal at a time. Founded by Anna Mountzuris, we’ve built our name on authentic Italian tradition combined with the steakhouse experience you’re looking for.
Our 4.5-star reputation comes from understanding what matters: quality ingredients, proper technique, and service that makes your evening special without being intrusive. We’re the restaurant locals recommend when they want to impress someone.
Located in Newton with easy access from Lexington, we’ve become the go-to destination for celebrations, date nights, and those occasions when only the best will do.
Your steak experience starts with our careful selection of premium cuts, chosen for marbling, tenderness, and flavor. We don’t cut corners on quality because we know you can taste the difference.
Our chefs prepare each steak using traditional techniques that bring out the meat’s natural flavors. Whether you prefer your beef tenderloin medium-rare or your veal chop perfectly pink, we time everything so your entire table is served together, hot and exactly as ordered.
The experience extends beyond the steak itself. Our sommelier-selected wines complement your choice, our sides are prepared fresh to order, and our service team ensures your evening flows smoothly from appetizer to dessert.
