50 Best Italian Restaurants near Abington

“We had our son’s baptism lunch today and the food and service were excellent! Communication on selecting the menu before the event was clear and efficient. The customized printed menus were a nice touch to have as a keepsake. Our waitress handled our private group plus some tables of other diners with ease (she was a real pro). We will definitely be back and recommend Sorelle to others for their functions!“

“My husband and I stopped there for lunch while our dog was being groomed. We ordered sandwiches and my husband started to feel lightheaded. We were served and it had to ask for the check and take out containers. Our waitress was an angel from god. She brought the takeout containers and the check and also a bottle of cold water, an empty bag and extra napkins in case he was sick on our way home. We didn’t even get a chance to eat our food. She could be given something for her heartfelt concern which I feel was over and above. She is at the Abington restrained her name is Mary. God bless and keep you safe Mary!“

“Dinner last night was amazing ..the Calamari was perfect, Arancini were great, the grilled shrimp bruschetta was wonderful. Everyone left happy. And our server was very attentive.“

“Portofino's *delicious* food*" was the right choice for the Wedding Rehearsal Dinner for my Son and his Bride! We've ordered from Portofino's for years; The dishes are always terrific and The Manager and staff are always friendly and helpful. Having Portofino's at our special event was fantastic. Thank you! **Pasta fra diavolo, Chicken Parm & fabulous meatballs and sauce! So, so good!“

“A local experience. Nice atmosphere. Family oriented .mostly. large bar for adults and football. Pasta dishes with large portions bit not the salad wraps, which I had. Could have had more grilled chicken and fresher ingredients. A restaurant should never skimp on French fries. The hostess fit us in a table quickly. No reservations and none available anyway. Wait staff very attentive especially to the kids. Kids love the place and the food. Overall great place but urge management not to skimp
on food“

“Delicious menu items.. the pear salad is delicious and a fabulous starter to share. I had the swordfish over the lobster succotash and it was fantastic.. the succotash alone would be a delight! Highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back. We ended with the flourless chocolate cake and it was perfect“

“Great service! Good atmosphere. Loved the food! ❤️“

“Three of us went there Friday night… in spite of the place being mobbed… our waiter was very attentive… the food was outstanding!! This is my 5th time here… and I will be back!! Try the short ribs, they do not disappoint! We were all thrilled with our meal choices! Bon appetite!“

“Great service! Good atmosphere. Loved the food! ❤️“

“Second time. Great food. Great flavors. Great atmosphere. Cooked beautifully. Our server, Liz, excellent! She was friendly, attentive to detail, knowledgeable . La Familia doesn't even come close across the board. poor quality food and poor service.“

“The food, the atmosphere and the service!! You cannot go wrong with this place! Felt like we were eating with family! Food was fantastic and the service was wonderful! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Johnny Macs is a very good restaurant their food is awesome portions are big and the staff is very nice. The one thing I do say is that it’s a little on the pricey side but that’s ok in my book because you’re paying for the quality. 🍝“

“Have always loved this Place! Great for birthdays and celebrations too!“

“Pleasant atmosphere, great food, upstairs deck for outside dining, social distancing and great services.“

“Our high school sports team hosted an end of season banquet at Tutto Bene yesterday – and it was wonderful! The owner and his team could not have been more accommodating. The buffet options were delicious and they also handled two special diet requests. The private room is pretty and can hold up to 60. It was very comfortable for our group of 30 and 30 display area. Although we brought in our own floral arrangements, they had many life-like silk flower arrangements already available in the room.“

“I finally tried here last night and was not disappointed! I'm always hesitant to try new places as we are picky, (especially with Italian food) but everything was great! The place was so chic and beautiful. the apps, drinks, dinner, and dessert were all delicious. our waiter was beyond friendly and attentive. we will definitely be back!“

“Love this place….great food and service!“

“This has to be the South Shore's best kept secret! My wife and I were looking to grab a quick meal the other day and stopped by Cannoli's on Whitman's Pond. I've been to the restaurant several time for various functions, but never for dinner. Vinny was wonderful - just the right attention - no hovering, but there when we needed anything. My wife had the chicken piccata and I had chicken marsala. Both were incredible! Plus, it's affordable - around $65 for the two of us (including two glasses of wine!) This will definitely become one of our go to places!“

“My first time dining here, not my last. Everything was piping hot and delicious!!!“

“First time here and food was fantastic! I got the eggplant parm and it was delicious! Generous portion that I had plenty to take home. Bartender/manager Brian was outstanding and so friendly. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I got the rancho wrap and it was awesome!! Can you say addicted.. 😍“

“Great food great service the owner is very nice and friendly smiles all the time , chicken fingers is so delicious ,I order Sara's calzone all the time 💗“

“First time at Mario’s Trattoria in North Easton and I was blown away! The guy who helped me was awesome super friendly, great attitude, and made an amazing steak & cheese. I asked for a certain sauce they didn’t have, and instead of saying no, he actually made it from scratch and even had me try it before putting it on my sandwich. That’s next-level customer service! Definitely coming back 👏🔥“

“From the Hostess to the Servers, staff was pleasant and professional. The food was exceptional!“

“Tonight was my first time at this restaurant. Trust me this is a hidden gem of Norwell if you haven’t discovered it yet.
From start to finish the meals were amazing and our waitress Alison, made our dinner experience perfect!
Cannot wait to go back. Honestly would give 100 stars if I could.“

“Awesome portions“

“They lost a customer!! We ordered take out 2 weeks ago on Friday night, Caesar salad with chicken, chicken Alfredo, and chicken broccoli Alfredo. We picked up the food within 30 minutes, the time we were quoted when picking up and live about 10 minutes away, let just say it was one of the worst take out meals we have had. Immediately after we started eating I called and spoke to the manager, the salad was watery and croutons were mushy, the chicken Alfredo was cold, the Parmesan wasn't melted! The food tasted like it a day old and microwaved! The manager took all my info and stated she would call me back after dinner service, never heard from her. Saturday I called back after not hearing, the same manager answered apologizing it was late when she finished dinner service but the owner was out of town and would call me back during the week, ok no problem. Late Monday I get a voicemail from the owners wife, working in customer service I was appalled by the voicemail. She stated that croutons do get soggy if you don't eat the salad right away and to order the dressing on the side next time. And that Alfredo just separates if you don't eat right away, suggesting I don't let it sit to room temperature before serving. I immediately called her back and explained I picked up the order and called within 40 minutes of placing the order, she stated that wasn't explained to me. She continued to tell me, speaking to someone in the background I have never heard this many complaints before. She proceeded to ask me what I wanted her to do about it, she stated she needed to talk to her husband because they don't just refund someone because they complain... I proceeded to tell her I had pictures if she was interested. I texted her the pictures and she told me she had to speak to her husband and would call me back... over a week later no call back...“

“I just had the most amazing grilled octopus ever!!!!! Tania makes the best espresso martini I've ever had!!! This is my new favorite place.“

“This restaurant has been closed since the pandemic. Don’t know how people are reviewing it this year. Particularly the ones with a photo?“

“All around great I would definitely take my wife there again“

“Excellent service and delicious food. They were super accommodating allergies and the gluten free ricotta and gluten free cheese focaccia were delicious. They were unfortunately out of pizza but I’ll just have to try it next time! It’s nice to have another allergy friendly restaurant in Quincy.

Dietary restrictions: Extremely accommodating to wheat allergies and gluten free needs and other allergies.“

“Decided to try Evviva in Hanover! Well I was very surprised. Got seated by a hostess with a smiling face. The waitress Hannah was full of suggestions with great service. We ordered pizza and short ribs. The pizza was like I was in the North End of Boston. Short ribs were extremely moist and tender. The best I’ve had in a long time. The manager Dave came to the table to make sure our food was as we expected. Hanna checked on us as well. The portions were good actually more than we can eat. The desserts were fresh and delicious. I can’t say enough about Evviva in Hanover, Ma and plan on dining at Evviva more often.“

“I usually don’t like reviews but I just had to this evening I called in the order and used for about to close in a few minutes but you still took my otter and I thought that the food wouldn’t be as good as it generally is that it would be called something would be wrong But I’m telling you I still give you a five star and I wish I would’ve left more of a tip the food meaning I added stuffed haddock with mashed potatoes and broccoli and everything is still fresh and hot I love you guys thank you so much for a perfect meal ??“

“Went for dinner with a couple of friends. Our server, Julio, was nothing short of amazing! We've been asking for Julio every since, about 3.5 years now! He's just the best, will give honest opinions if you're not able to decide on food, very fast service, and the managers go around to make sure everyone is happy. Great place, great food!“

“Caterered luncheon from The Italian Kitchen. Everything was delicious as always! Want to give a shout out to Amanda. She was a huge help with setting this up!“

“Went with my daughter to celebrate birthdays during November. The Christmas display was so beautiful, it was such a fun way to kick off the Christmas Season!! We were seated right away, our Server was fantastic, she checked in frequently making sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, we had the Chicken Marsala and the Chicken Parm, and a couple Espresso Martinis. It was a wonderful evening!!“

“Went back after a long time, and they had specials.Shrimp scampi $23 and the trios for 19.99. Good deal prices have gone up like everything & everybody but it's still so good
The server Jen is phenomenal, she's one of their mainstays. Recommended for sure.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ high recommended The best pizza in town“

“A cozy, small restaurant tucked away within downtown Cohasset. I especially wanted to give an enormous shoutout to the extremely generous jumbo lobster sandwich that they sold during this time. It was expensive, as expected, but it did not disappoint in terms of its mass. It was huge, delicious and presentable.

The atmosphere is, as I stated before, cozy, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. It was definitely more on the quieter side--which I preferred that day--though that may depend on the time and season when you visit.

If you're walking or driving around town, I strongly recommend stopping by here, as it is an easy 5-stars for me.“

“I stopped by this Italian deli and ordered an Italian sub. It was really good — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. That said, it was a little different than what I expected. Instead of the traditional lettuce, tomato, (sometimes banana peppers) and oil, it came with chopped tomatoes, white onion, and pickles. Not quite the Italian grinder I grew up eating, but still delicious in its own way. Overall, I’d give it a solid 7 out of 10 — mostly because I can’t help but compare it to the classic version I’m used to. Definitely worth a try if you’re open to a unique take on a classic!“

“I had a salad, and my daughter had a burger and fries. I feel like you can't really mess up a salad, but you can mess up fries. That's what happened to my daughter's meal.

We ordered for pickup and when it was time to eat. My toddler struggled to eat the fries, they were so overcooked and hard for her to chew.

Everything else was good, though. I just assumed we caught the line cooks on a bad day. But... Who knows?“

“I stopped on my way home for a couple of pizzas and an appetizer. As usual, they got our special order pizza right and done perfectly. We have been many times to this Bertucci's and have always been satisfied with either dine in or carry out. The staff is always accommodating and pleasant. We will be back!!“

“Hands down the best Italian restaurant and pizza, family owned for 50 years! Love it“

“Everything is delicious! Huge Portions Friendly Staff A++++“

“Ordered large turkey sub toasted with lettuce, pickles, tomato and small salami with pickles and onions with Curley fries. Delicious!“

“Wicked Good Food! It’s the first time ordering from here. I’m always skeptical of 1st tries because I’m VERY picky about pizza. I got a small veggie pizza and it was awesome! Their sauce is good and they’re super generous with the toppings and cheese! Also tried the buffalo tenders, omg…wicked good! They’re not all dripping with buffalo sauce, they’re the exact right amount of buffalo-ey, but in a dry way, and with perfect crunchiness! I almost kinda want a part time job here in case they have employee discounts ‼️“

“We love this place so much!“

“I have been here a couple times and each time, I am NEVER displeased. I can’t say the same for the other locations though. I got the carbonara and stick to that usually which is always impeccable. I’ve had my food right after I get into the car after leaving and reheated leftovers and the food is perfect either way. The garlic bread with cheese is massive and so tasty!“

“a great cheese pizza. been looking to find a pizza like this,good sauce. good cheese. I'll be back“
