50 Best Italian Restaurants near Billerica

“Local family owned gem. Great service, Amazing food.“

“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“

“Always friendly, timely and food is consistently delicious! Love how big their large pizzas and salads are. Highly recommend you support this local business.“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“Great little hole in the wall pizza shop, it's the best pizza in the area out of the 5 places I've tried. The crust is top notch, crispy like North end italian style and the sauce, cheese and meats were all good quality and cooked to perfection. This is now my go to place for pizza in the area.“

“When service and food is done right, It's an amazing experience to behold! We had a large party. The service was impeccable an all the food was super delicious!! This restaurant should be giving Master classes on service and how to do food right. The capper for me was the coffee at the end of the meal. Perfection all the way. Keep up the amazing work and Well done, very well done indeed!!!! Ward Findlay“

“My husband and I went to Il Ponte in Woburn for the first time tonight. Let’s just say it will not be the last. From the moment we walked in right up until we walked out the door it was an incredible experience. We both had cocktails: a Cabernet and falling for you and both were amazing. The bread/focaccia with garlic and oil was a fantastic start to the meal. We got the octopus and a bruschetta to start and they were flavorful and cooked perfectly. My husband had the braised short rib over saffron risotto and he said it was delicious and fork tender. He said the flavor was like nothing he’s ever had and the saffron risotto was incredible and cooked perfectly. I got the special which was a crusted swordfish with asparagus risotto and it was, hands down, the best swordfish I have ever eaten. It was crusted so lightly and the swordfish was cooked to perfection. The portion was so big that I took half home. We don’t usually order dessert but when the server said “pistachio gelato” they reeled me in. My husband got bomboloni and couldn’t stop making all the faces and sounds…it was to die for. Before we finished the owner was making rounds at the tables thanking everyone and making sure we enjoyed our meals. I would give Il Ponte a 20/10 rating. We will absolutely be back again. If you get the opportunity….do not sleep on Il Ponte.“

“Wow, wow, and wow again! What a treat that my dear friend and I happened upon this GEM! At first glance it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when you step inside it’s like entering a whole new world. It is elegant and beautiful, a fantastic combination of fine dining with an atmosphere like coming home. Such a quaint spot with the best quality Italian food I have ever had. Cristiano was the kindest server on the planet, so attentive, and so welcoming! As a worker in the food service industry, I was blown away! First off, drinks. To our surprise, Arancini has a BYOB policy (SO COOL! People had brought their own bottles of wine, which Cristiano offered to open and put on ice). Other than that, they offer your typical sodas, some juice, and a variety of sparkling and still water options. Let’s talk food. Right away, they bring fresh, warm, house-made bread, with fantastically seasoned dipping oil. Other than that, we started off with the Caesar salad and the friend mozzarella appetizer. The Caesar salad (despite it being just about the most basic thing that someone can order) was so well put together. It had just the right amount of dressing, and fresh grated, high quality parmesan cheese! The mozzarella app was quite possible the tastiest thing I have ever put in my mouth. Oh my god, it just about dissolved in my mouth. Imagine the best mozzarella sticks you’ve ever had in your life, but the cheese is so high quality and it is freshly battered and friend minutes before it is brought to your table. Never frozen - just made hot and fresh for you to eat. Don’t even get me started on the marinara sauce. Again, clearly house-made and so fresh. I could’ve had it as a soup! For a main meal I had the most delicious fettuccini Alfredo. The sauce was TO DIE FOR. The pasta was perfectly cooked (I didn’t know pasta could even taste like that ). I asked for chicken in the pasta and… oh. my. god. I have no words. I mean I can attempt to describe it but I won’t do it justice. Tender, JUICY, and you KNOW it’s authentic because the chicken was battered in egg. I was drooling before I took a single bite. I also added broccoli and it was SO PERFECT. The whole meal, it was just the best food I have ever had I swear. PLEASE give this place a shot! You’ll probably want a reservation because I don’t think there are more than 10 tables there! It’s small but mighty. Thank you Cristiano for making this experience incredible!“

“DELICIOUS food & wine, good service“

“the atmosphere is cozy and warm. Delicious martini choices. Huge portions for a reasonable price. Would recommend this place to everyone.“

“Food, drink’s & service are all amazing!“

“First time trying their food, went with my food group to try out their menu and was not disappointed! Recently came back from Italy and had told my friends I missed the food, one said this place might help and it did not disappoint! I found the gnocchi to be amazing, even when I didn't finish it completely, it was still amazing the next day which is very unusual in my experience, but a happy surprise! The sauce they used was unreal, the chicken was on par, and honestly had a really good time. Will be going back again, definitely want to taste test a few other items next time around.“

“Great place, great staff and amazing food. Their pizza is as good as it gets.. But it’s tough to decide with so many great offerings.“

“Best Italian pasta I ever tried!!!“

“excellent friendly service, delicious food, awesome date place.“

“This is our new GO TO place! We are Italian so we are hard to please when it comes our Italian dishes. This place is the BEST Italian (home cooked) meal! You will not be disappointed! Fresh, tasty and service was great also! Make sure you make reservations as they book up quick! You will NOT be disappointed!“

“This was a great dining experience! We dine out pretty often and like good quality food.. This restaurant hit the mark on everything we like in a restaurant from the cocktails to the apps and all entrees were delicious! Very refreshing atmosphere, bright clean and modern. Will definitely be back again! - Kim Smith“

“Great place awesome food and drinks“

“The place is small but so ain't I you go in there and eat they feed you and feed you and you will take a doggie bag home the food is fresh it could be just like in Sicily hospitality of the owner and the waitress and the cook it's just so personable and the price is right I'm going back tomorrow and I was there today....“

“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… ♥️“

“Nino’s atmosphere is nice! Pretty casual, but a cute place! The chicken parm was DELICIOUS but the short rib tortellini was disappointing. This dish consisted mostly of tomatoes and broccoli with tortellini and short rib being the after thought- there was also not much flavor to the dish. Our server was nice and quite fast!“

“We all had something different and everything was equally delicious. We started with a Caprese salad (amazing) and then each had a different pasta dish - including spaghetti with mussels. The sauce was slightly spicey (as advertised) and SO GOOD! The chef’s specials were perfect.

We enjoyed the relaxed interior and could comfortably converse in the cozy and authentic space. The chef checked in on us multiple times and the waiter was friendly and attentive.

We HIGHLY recommend this local gem!“

“I've been a bunch of times. Never disappointed, everything is delicious.“

“Please has been awesome for many years. Keep up the good work great food great atmosphere, and the service is top-notch. Last night was a crazy busy night for them and they did a great job.“

“Superb restaurant, one of my Top Three Favorites.“

“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.“

“I have been coming here for fifty years even when I have lived far away. High quality food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. It is a vestige of the Lexington of my childhood.“

“My family and I stopped in last week to have dinner 5 of us(3 adults 2 children). The place was extremely busy and there were 2 servers on (1 male and 1 female). We had the male as our waiter. Anthony is a great kid but he was very overwhelmed. He had made a several mistakes with our order. My husband started to get angry with the multiple mistakes that he wanted to just leave. He got up to go look for a manager (no manager in sight) but came back to the table with everything we needed except his drink that was NOT correct twice. But he had a smile on his face and a few seconds later the waitress from the other side (whom had every table taken) came over with a tray of our drinks. I was upset at my husband for bothering her, as I said I don’t believe she had one open table. But she came over with a big smile and handed us our drinks. She was so funny, patient,extremely nice and professional. She could have refused to help and nobody would have blamed her, but she didn’t! After our interaction with Erin we couldn’t help but to watch her fly around the dining room with a smile not only handling her side but helping Anthony as well. I’m writing this review because I want your company to realize what an absolute asset you have with this young lady. Erin is one of the best waitresses we have seen in a while, just watching her work was amazing and as busy as she was still helping her coworkers. We will definitely be back but will insist on Erin being our waitress! Thank you Erin for turning around our bad experience at Bertucci’s! And Bertucci’s I hope you take care of this girl she is the perfect example of a great waitress and top notch in customer service!“

“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!!!“

“Awesome people! Aways a great food for a fair price!“

“Excellent lunch today with the family. Large lunch portions, excellent food, fantastic service.“

“Anthony and his staff did once again an exceptional catering menu for our family event. Our guests could not stop eating!! Anthony worked with us in creating a custom menu. The food was delicious!“

“I had the Rocco sandwich, which was delicious! I highly recommend 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“My all time favorite place to eat, from the great food to the wonderful staff you can't go wrong enjoying a meal at Amici's.“

“Family friendly Italian food in Lexington Center. We saw all ages there from 2 to 80. There are about 12 tables plus a bar area that serves only wine. This is counter service, so you order and pay at the counter and they bring the food to you when it is ready. I had the design-your-own-pasta and it was fresh and delicious.“

“Tried Mave’s for the first time today, two thumbs up! Pizza & eggplant parm sub were both delicious. 👍“

“excellent service and food“

“We had a post-funeral luncheon here for our family and friends, and both the food and service were wonderful! It had been a while since we had dined at Rocco's, but we are really looking forward to returning there again soon!“

“Best italian in the area! Food is always incredible, it feels like its made with love! The service is impeccable ecable & the owner is lovely! Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone that likes good food 5 stars“

“Food was excellent good Italian pizza and I spent 10 plus years making pizza in the North End girl on register had a beautiful smile and face with curves and all the right places Beauty like that only makes the food taste better unfortunately a low selection of soda but willing to look past it thanks to micro Brews on tap West a great ambience Frank Sinatra music was feeling my ear as the smell of true authentic food with filling the air! All around I would give them more stars if I could“

“Great place awesome food and drinks“

“This place is both so comfortable and so classy at the same time! Service is wonderful, the staff members are so very friendly, and the food is delicious! Ava and Kathy made the evening so enjoyable! This is definitely a place for us to visit again!“

“We were at Teresa’s on Saturday night and I cannot say enough great things about this place. Our waitress Casey was amazing we had a table of 16 and she did not skip a beat She was on point all night long and the place was absolutely packed. The food was amazing. Everyone was great from the management to waitstaff. Cannot wait to go back. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Whenever I’m craving a saucy, spicy pepperoni pizza, Comella’s in Concord is my go-to. The pizza is always flavorful and just the right amount of heat.
There’s limited seating and not a huge drink selection, but the menu is solid and consistent. If you’re ordering a lot, call ahead, there can be a wait. Simple, reliable, and always hits the spot.“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“
