Not nice at all and the food is eh. Abe & Louie's I have yet to try but have heard wonderful things about it, plus most of the north end places that were mentioned, I would recommend as well. I haven't been to all of them, but some, and my very picky friend has been to the ones I haven't that were mentioned and loves them.

Except Mikes Pastry....go to Modern Pasty. Mike's is a tourist trap. Or there is another dessert place I can't think of the name (sorry), but there is a cigar bar underneath. Very good cannolis. Next to MammaMia's.
if you don't want to go into town to go to modern...they have a shop in medford square across from the century bank.....it may only be 4 exits up on 93 but that can make a big difference in time with traffic...

I also think that bova's pastry in the north end is open 24 hours..or at least very very late if you may be out and about at an odd hour...
