Tucked inside a Back Bay townhouse, chef Michael Serpa’s seafood venture is really something special: polished but unpretentious, fun yet refined, inviting to neighborhood regulars but absolutely worth an Uber ride from the other side of the city. The Mediterranean-glancing menu features elaborate shellfish tiers, starters like Spanish octopus with chimichurri, and a standout whole sea bream that is roasted and served Greek “taverna-style,” with a sauce of parsley, mint and oregano.

It’s all about Sicilian-style seafood at this family-owned North End restaurant, a decades-spanning institution that has branched off to locations in Brookline and Vermont.

The 20-seat spot is cash-only, but generous portions make it worth every dollar.
