“Have always enjoyed the food, eating in or take out. During covid when open we enjoyed many a meal and always felt our business was appreciated. Tonight my wife called to place an order ( of roughly 200.00 to 250.00) for our family. Understandably it took a while for the phone to be answered and when it was and my wife said " hello I would like to place a take out order" received " we are not taking take out orders this eve" and was abruptly hung up on. We have been loyal supporters of this establishment pretty since it opened. Never spending another penny here. Our money was great when things were lean, sadly unappreciated. Thanks.“

“One of our favorites! Delicious authentic Italian dishes! Awesome mixed cocktails!“

“BOSA completely blew us away and honestly helped me and my fiancé re ignite our relationship. Odd I know but we can explain. First off food was phenomenal and I would even say that work underplays it. Every dish nails layers of flavor. There’s few places that I go and order different meals as I usually go with what I know but BOSA offers great diversity in their menu and I cant wait to treat my fiancé to dinner again here. Now let’s get to our waitress Nicole! She’s the one who made this night beyond amazing. The initial greet was done with a friendly face and welcoming smile that made us feel right at home. She’s super knowledgeable about the whole menu with great recommendations! One thing I greatly admire and appreciate is she will give you her personal opinions of the food instead if trying to upsell the most expensive. That goes a long long way with me. Nicole is super personable and friendly it felt like we knew her for 10 years! You don’t see this service anymore and I told her I want to personally request her everytime we go from now on. Nicole told us her daughter works with her as well (clearing/cleaning tables, etc); what a dynamic duo I’ll tell ya! Both of them truly amazing! When I say me and my fiancés relationship got re ignited by Nicole and bosa that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Between broken down vehicles and trying to afford a wedding money has caused lots of tension, but money didn’t even phase us tonight. The service we received was worth more than what I had in my pocket. We tipped Nicole well and honestly if I had more cash on me I woulda done more. She didn’t even want to accept the tip but she’s truly amazing. We left feeling refreshed and renewed so thank you Nicole! You changed us for the better and showed us there’s still good people in the world. Thank you once again for an amazing night and we are truly blessed to have met you. Nicole should be the face of the company they would kill it! She’s funny smart knowledgeable and truly knows how to connect and take care of each individual customer. We left feeling like we were friends! Phenomenal night, phenomenal food, even better staff! The entire crew from hostess to Nicole to the manager and general manager came together and made the night special memorable and gave us lots to talk about. We have a network of many “foodies” and we will be sharing our experience with them!“

Pickup was seamless and staff were extremely helpful and courteous at pickup. Everyone raved about how delicious all the food was.. will definitely be ordering in the future.“

“This is a jewel cafe that became my favorite. I drive for 30 minutes to enjoy the food here. Staff members are friendly, there is a variety of meals and sweets. The pistachio ricotta is my favorite as well as the Tiramisu and the Italian donuts straight out of the oven. The sitting area is bright and comfortable. The parking is great. Their coffee is the best 👌 I highly recommend this cafe.“

“Warm, cozy environment - friendly, professional service (Isabelle was amazing) and some unique genuine Italian creations with some great table wine - haven’t been here in 15+ years but will definitely be coming back soon… ♥️“

“The food here is the best. Huge options for even the toughest critic. Also have take home & make options. Prices are really good for the amount & quality of the food. I live near some very expensive Italian restaurants & their menus iare skimpy comoared to the choices at Strombolis. The iwner is always friendly, showing his appreciation to his customers. Like in any restaurants even in top notch sometimes an order is wrong but open your mouth & the owner will make it right. Been coming here for years. Atmosphere is like a pizza joint but dont let it fool you. The atmosphere keeps the prices reasonable“

“Our favorite place! The food is consistently delicious, the service is always outstanding, and it just has a great vibe and atmosphere. We love Orzo’s!“

“My granddaughter and I finally made it to Decor restaurant. This restaurant had come highly recommended by many people and It has been on our bucket list for a while and tonight we finally tried it out and we both loved our dinner and desert so much. The Restaurant was very clean and it is also family owned and the owners are lovely people ,we can’t wait to go back and bring some friends. I give it a big huge 👍 up😄“

“We hosted both of my children's 1st birthday parties at Maria's and they have always been great. Their function room is beautiful, the staff is always kind, and the food always good. I also believe it to be reasonable priced. I would recommend Maria's to anyone hoping to have a nice event of any size!“

“My wife and I went to the Roma for an early supper on 5/25 and from the time we walked in to the time we left we were treated like a member of David’s family. He and the staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. The food was plenty. Can not wait to go back.“

“Didn’t get a before photo but the after photo tells the story!! The Market Al Fresca in Tewksbury - four cheese lasagna - I don’t usually comment on other peoples lasagna because I like mine BUT this was absolutely delicious, so tasty and packed with cheese. Half of this tray fed three adults (it’s about a 6x9 tray) I can’t wait to try some of their other dinner offerings! I might never cook again!!! And they had gluten free offerings also. Of course I left with just baked bread still warm snd dessert as well. TRy it out I don’t think you will be disappointed!!!“

“We had our 2nd catered luncheon event from this River Road location in Andover and they outdid themselves again! The food was fantastic! The Eggplant Parm, Sliders, Chicken broccoli penne, Mista Salad and the cookies and brownies for dessert were perfect. Looking forward to ordering from them again in the future. Reasonably priced and delicious!“

“Unbelievable food, I am very picky about food, I was on the hunt to find a delicious chicken parm. Without a doubt if you have not been to this establishment. You have not had the best there is to offer. Huge portions cooked perfectly. Wife tried a pizza and true to form also amazing. Marco’s is a lock. Get there and enjoy the best authentic food you ever had.“

“Nick and Janelle were outstanding bartenders. Their attention to detail was something to be admired even as the bar was crowded. They were personable and truly cared about the customer experience.“

“My wife loves the surf and turf meal, lobster pie and steak meal always fills up with the coleslaw and lobster pie and is always taking home leftovers,“

“Was looking for a new pizza place to try, Nella’s is great! Generous with the toppings. They don’t skimp. Solid undercarriage and perfect proportions of sauce and cheese. Delicious. Must try!“

“We tried this place cause it was close to our hotel and we are so glad we did it!
The place is small but clean and the employees were super friendly, the food was so good, we tried different dishes like wings, pizza and cheese fries but the steak and cheese sub was our favorite I could eat it everyday!!!
Definitely we will be back!“

“Best pizza“

“This is one of the very few restaurants that will make you immediately feel at home! You can tell right from the start how much everyone and everything is appreciated and cared for which I believe is the benefit of a family owner restaurant especially when the family is as welcoming and caring as this one. From the martinis coming from the bar (with friendly service from Krista), especially my favorites the homemade creamy limoncello martini, their REAL espresso martinis, and their lemon drop to name a few, to the made to order dishes that you can customize to meet your preferred tastes or needs- everything is just done right! The appetizers are literally to die for- the eggplant a la romana will melt in your mouth, the world famous seafood mushroom are definitely world famous and the clams casino are 👌! For dishes I would recommend their double pork chop alla Nicola with truffle fries, their chicken or veal francese, their Marsala, saltimbocca, chicken langistino on their specials, and their amazing eggplant parm. Make sure you get their homemade pasta which they have 3 to choose from! If you truly know when a restaurant is overall special, then you won't have a hard time choosing the Colosseum for your next dine out experience. Despite when they get busy, I don't think they disappoint. Well worth the wait!!“

“Teresa’s Prime is our favorite restaurant for date nights and family celebrations. We dined recently and were thrilled it was the Teresa’s quality that we always knew. John was very accommodating to our group. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Food is fantastic, great sized portions, affordable, welcoming and inviting staff. We've never had a meal we didn't love and we go all the time! Definitely recommend.“

“OMG ,,,, this place has the best calzone and stuffed shells ever. Love it Great service“

“The food was so good loved the gyros and falafel with tahini sauce ?? Staff are extremely helpful and friendly I recommend it to everyone ??“

“Our waitress, Carla, was absolutely amazing! Staff and manager were fun and friendly as well. Walked in on a whim and so glad we did! Highly recommend for anyone around. Also, even more, they support their veterans unlike many companies these days!“

“Amazingly crafted sauce recipe. I normally get heartburn off of red sauce but this one is good.

This is THE BEST crust you will get within at least 25 miles. I’d honestly say that this is the best pizza you will get between Boston and all of New Hampshire.

Friendly people and they work hard to keep these pizzas and other food coming out top notch.

If you are looking for a 9/10 rating pizza, you call them and pay them. Tip them too… we need these pizzas to keep spinning!“

“I just came back from olive garden in methuen because my mom take me there for my birthday and it was and amazing experience the waiter Josh was so nice and treat us so well and the food was delicious the broccoli chicken Alfredo pasta I eat was just indescribable as a future culinary chef I hope I can make delicious food like that and the chocolate lasagna cake no words so moist creamy and every flavor was perfectly balance best birthday ever thank you so much for the amazing service and food“

“Great service. Diane was our waitress. She was great!!“
