50 Best Italian Restaurants near Abington

“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!“

“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!“

“Hannah was our server and did an amazing job. We came in with our toddler nieces and her attentiveness was second to none. Being in the service industry ourselves, this is the type of service that every party wants when they come in to dine. Cheers to Hannah for a job well done! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great service! Good atmosphere. Loved the 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“

“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!“

“Dinner there tonight and it was excellent. Beautiful room with comfortable dining. Extensive wine and cocktail list. We loved several pasta dishes- bolognese, sausage broccoli Rob, arancini, mussels - all delicious. Great cannolis and tasty ice creams rounded out the night. Service was excellent and free garage parking behind the place is a bonus. Highly recommended“

“We had such a great time tonight at dinner with Santa! Santa was amazing and really took the time to interact with the kids. The cookies they provided to be decorated were actually delicious according to my kids. Food was amazing as always. Service was great. Despite it being busy, it was very well managed and not over crowded or overwhelming to the staff. Super impressed and will definitely be looking forward to this next year!“

Zai is definitely an asset to the restaurant, and we’ll absolutely be back!“

“We dined at Campanale’s this evening - it couldn’t have been better. The atmosphere was very festive, with tasteful Christmas decorations, not overdone. The food was great, the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. 🍝🎄👏🏻“

“What amazing food and service. Cannot wait to go back. Went with friends and shared meatball app. Burrata pasta and eggplant parm. Every dish was amazing Great wine list. Leo has another home run“

“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 really like the food, also they cooked the way I like it. Thanks for serving MA“

“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!“

“We went on Wednesday night (3/11) specifically for the Wellington and were NOT disappointed. But I wanted to give a special shout out to the staff. When we arrived just before 7 the restaurant was busy not not full. Our server, as he passed our table, said he would be right with us. We waited. And waited. And patiently. Because I could see our server. He was at a table of 7 and I knew he wasn't forgetting or ignoring us. Then he was at a table of 4. Then one of 5. Then ANOTHER that appeared to be about 7 people again. He also had at least 4 two tops. I couldn't see far enough behind me to expand on that count. When he did come to us, an undisclosed amount of time later, he was kind and thorough and not at all showing the stress I'm sure he was feeling. I saw only one other server the entire time we were there and I'm sure he was taking all of the tables in the dining room we couldn't see. I'm sorry I cannot remember our servers name. Both men were bald and one was wearing glasses. Ours was the one without the spectacles. He remained busy through our meal, and we enjoyed the entire thing. Burrata with prosciutto to start, and then a Wellington to split. Both were phenomenal. The drinks were amazing, even with accommodations for one ingredient I am allergic to. At one point one of our cocktail glasses was broken accidentally by someone not at our table and it felt like the entire FOH staff (all 5 of them lol) came to help clean up and make sure everything was cool. They were all so kind and had smiles on, even though I'm sure they were still too swamped to clean up the mess. Honestly, for our very first visit I'm sure I could have been upset at the wait and complained that our server was too busy, but erring on the side of caution I prefer to presume it was either an unusually busy night or someone had called out, leaving the restaurant short -staffed. Kudos to the whole team for working together and keeping positive attitudes on the floor. We loved our experience and look forward to returning.“

“I've been going here for 50 years now , this is th best italian rest in the south shore and it's better than the over glorified unhealthy comfort food places with high ratings by a long shot.“

“My wife and I had an awesome dinner. Good food at reasonable prices great experience“

“We had a table for 9 guests. From the greeting at the door to the farewell upon leaving Trattoria San Pietro nailed it.
Going around the table, the compliments about the staff and food were exceptional. The service was friendly, knowledgeable, professional but in an easy going relaxed way that made you feel right at home.
The menu is extensive and I am very much looking forward to working my way through it.
And don’t be solely focused on the delicious food on your plates or drinks in your glasses. Make sure to look around and take in the design and atmosphere.“

“went last night fradiavlo 10 best I've had. so much seafood. veal parm fantastic tender and light breading. sauce great. anti pasto plenty of italian coldcuts .and great dressing. service. food. a definite 10“

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

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

“I felt like I was in the movie. The place is quaint and extremely charming. The lobster rolls were the best I have ever had. Simple quality ingredients, made the meal perfect. The wine list wasn’t my favorite otherwise 5 stars hands down.“

“Just got takeout. We've been coming there for many years. The food was always delicious and generous. Today we ordered a large Italian sub and a quart of minestrone soup. While everything was fresh and tasty, we were disappointed in the somewhat minimal contents of the sub. The soup recipe seems like it had changed from the original one but it was still good. Maybe it was just an off day. We liked the new decor.“

“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!“

“Best Italian sub I've had in my life. My father use to deliver here for cam provisions and I would join him as a kid. He would bring them home when i was a kid. This sub is what I define as the perfect Italian sub. Got there for the first time in 15 years. A little less meat in the sub but still the amazing flavor. People were amazing.“

“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 have been coming to the Italian Kitchen for a very long time even after the change in ownership. The taste is the same but lately I’ve seen a change in the eggplant parmigiana. The portion is smaller and It’s slices not stacked It used to be a square with multiple layers enough to share. Not the case anymore bring back the old way or you’ll lose customers“

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

“After living in Rockland for almost 10 years about a month ago I finally went into Dina’s. I ordered a steak and cheese at the counter and was told give me five minutes it’ll be ready! Now I thought to myself five minutes really so then I said, all time you do you think you can do it in five minutes, and the young lady behind the counter smiled, looked at me and said I own the place. I’ll have it in five minutes. Four minutes later, I had this perfectly cooked perfectly engineered steak and cheese. Now I’m a sucker for a slice of pizza as well so I grabbed one ehhh it’s just slice. Anything is better than Ellio’s. I grabbed my dinner and I left. I have my slice on the way home and it was amazing across between Greek style pizza and South Shore bar pie. Absolutely outstanding steak and cheese with top notch and since then I’ve been several times on my way home from work for some reason the slices get better and better each time but on a whim I tried the turkey gobbler one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time!“

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

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

“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.“

“An unforgettable pizza experience! The food was absolutely outstanding, fresh, flavorful, and made with real passion. A special thank you to Chef Osam Mina Abo El Ahmar, whose talent and dedication truly shine in every pizza. You can tell he takes great pride in his work, and the results are incredible. The crust was perfect, the ingredients were fresh, and the taste was simply amazing. Great service, great atmosphere, and one of the best pizzas I’ve had in Massachusetts. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“WOW! do yourself a big favor, try the Greco sirloin tip wrap! steak seasoned & cooked perfectly & salad good to the last bite😄“

“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 ??“

“This has been my go to OG since I was a kid. Our server Juan was absolutely wonderful. They confirmed our choice to get the new creamy garlic dishes, and boy oh boy was it the right move. 11/10 service. Will def be back again soon 🔥“

“We love this place so much!“

“The best pizza I’ve had in years“

“Our first visit was on 12/10. We were greeted with such friendly staff! The Christmas displays and decorations were beautiful! The restaurant looked so magical! Our waitress Kysha provided us with exceptional service!! She was so nice, personable and efficient! The food was delicious and we enjoyed the yummy strawberry margaritas and cappuccinos! What a wonderful time and experience! Thank you!“

“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!“

“I absolutely love Avon House of Pizza! The team is so friendly, welcoming, and always makes you feel like family. Everything on the menu tastes amazing, and their pizza is something special,the dough is so delicious and perfectly made! 🍕 I’ve tried the burgers, subs, wraps, and pizza, and honestly, everything is so fresh and tasty. I especially recommend trying the chicken wraps they are so yummy! 🌯❤️ I order from Avon House of Pizza every day, and honestly, I want to keep ordering every day because everything is just that delicious! 😍“
