18 Best Italian Restaurants near Ayer

“We had ordered through DoorDash and it was never picked up. Booooo DoorDash. The restaurant called me to let me know the food was there and the Dasher was not. Thankfully my husband was able to go get it. I couldn’t believe it when a few minutes later, one of the people who works there (Sedona) called me back to say she would drop it off if I couldn’t get it! Talk about above and beyond. The food was fantastic. I had the limoncello with chicken. Sooooooo good. Crispy chicken cutlet, but moist and a delicious beurre blanc. My husband got the bistec and loved it as well. We had never tried this place before but will now be frequent flyers (just not with DoorDash!).“

“Very good lunch spot! Great tasty sandwich! Cute atmosphere.“

“Never been disappointed with the menu choices and even their Specials they offer for day to day afternoon lunch, appetizers in the later afternoon and the evening option of specials and of course their red wine sangria is the best 🍷👍. Thank you also to the friendly atmosphere and staff! Love live entertainment on Wednesday evenings but maybe perhaps On a Saturday afternoon/evening where I would love to sit outside with family or friends! Thanks again ~ this girls loves the sauce too which is why I always make a purchase and the holidays when my husband is able to purchase gift cards for some of his customers ~ woohoo“

“Just came from El Forno. Lunenburg had a pepperoni and pepper pizza. It was by far the best pizza I have ever had since the old days at the European in the northend. Great job Michael and crew always.“

“I had an amazing experience at Olive Garden thanks to our server, Michael. From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. He checked in at the perfect times, kept our drinks filled, and made great recommendations that we ended up loving.

Michael’s energy and professionalism really stood out—he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to get service that consistently great, and it definitely made our visit memorable.

If you’re dining at this Olive Garden, I highly recommend asking for Michael. He’s the kind of server that turns a normal meal into a great experience! Bottomless cheese!“

“The owners are great people and the food is excellent .. made with quality products and cooked to perfection and now famous roast beef, you won’t be disappointed“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“The food is 10/10. Old ownership wasn’t impressive, but the pizza here is 10/10. Highly recommend !!“

“We were looking for meatball subs, and New London most definitely delivered. I went with the small size grinder, and without seeing the large side-by-side, I could not have told you what size I received. Half of my sub made for a good leftover lunch the next day. Other members of our party had a chicken gyro, and a salad with tuna. The combination of Greek and Italian items on the menu allowed for substantial choices for everyone. My only quibble was that I did not find ice water available to have with my meal. All the beverage choices seemed to be bottled from a self-service refrigerator case, and single use bottled water is something I will go out of my way to avoid. New London was a pleasant place to eat - they have ample seating to the side of the counter where customers place their orders.“

“Great Place always fresh and delicious“

“Awesome food great staff!“

“The steak sandwich used to have very little meat, but now it’s perfect! Great portion and really tasty — keep it up!”

“I can tell you guys improved a lot! The steak sandwich is now well-filled and delicious. Thanks for the great service!”

“Big improvement! The steak sandwich now comes with plenty of meat — really happy with that!”“

“Brought the wife and kids for the first time here. Great waitstaff. Fun place. Super casual. We got the brisket sandwich, bbq chicken sandwich, pulled pork sandwich and a large chicken & pepperoni pizza. All very good. They do a burnt style crust which is great. Good beer selection too. I would go back especially when the weather gets better for their outside seating. Quality family option for the area. Pricing was reasonable.“

“Great spot for a post-charge meal! Just a heads up for Tesla owners: it’s located right near the Supercharger, but isn’t easily walkable, so it's best to order ahead and drive over once you're done. The service was incredibly fast (ready before the estimated time). The pizza itself was fantastic. Fresh, thin crust, and quality toppings. Highly recommend for a quick, high-quality bite.“

“I would say best pizza in and Around Acton Mass! Ordered a large pie with pepperoni and it was cooked to perfection! No extra condiments needed you can taste all fresh ingredients the garlic! Very well done pizza honestly better than most places in nyc!“

“It was great, the place serves very good food and reminds me of when I lived in brasil. Its hard to find such a good place to eat here in Massachusetts, and the girl that stays in the front was great and very friendly, she spoke portuguese and helped me because my English is not very good. This is 10/10 absolutely love it“

“Get rid of the underage girls on the counter. They take the order incorrectly. Your place is the best in Clinton. The cooks know what they are doing. Don't change anything in the kitchen. Everything is delicious. Other ladies on counter is fantastic! Never had a misunderstanding with them. They are amazing. They read my mind when I call. Next time I call and school girls pick up the phone I will not place an order.“

“I saw some guy get a good looking pizza slice and asked for the same thing and it was the best decision I could have made. Absolutely without a doubt whoever made my spicy chicken finger pizza slice was a master cook. My mouth is watering just remembering how good it was. Plus it only took 5 minutes which was great too. Definitely going regularly for slices!“
