Amazing experience – the food was delicious and perfectly prepared! We started with shrimp in a creamy dip with crispy bread, which was the perfect appetizer. The main course – a perfectly cooked steak served with fresh asparagus and potatoes – was truly impressive. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was attentive and professional. Highly recommend this restaurant!

I had the Pappardelle Bolognese and I added meatballs and it was soooo good! The free warm rolls are also really good. Chesca's is my favorite restaurant on Martha's Vineyard. The atmosphere is really cool, outside in the courtyard a band was playing, and they have rocking chairs on their large porch, it's a really cool vibe. I make sure to go to Chesca's every time I'm on the Vineyard!

Two weeks ago, on September 5th, we had the pleasure of dining at Chesca’s in Martha’s Vineyard with our in-laws, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the warm ambiance and beautiful setting made us feel welcome and relaxed. The live music playing outside added a charming touch with the perfect soundtrack to a perfect evening.
We began with a selection of appetizers that were both artful and delicious. The Autumn Spinach Salad was a standout! It tasted like fall in every bite: refreshing, earthy, and beautifully balanced. Though technically a side, we ordered the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer, and they were crispy, flavorful, and addictive. We also shared the meatballs, hearty and comforting, and the Seared Scallops, which were so delicious. Every bite was a celebration of flavor and texture. The Crispy Eggplant Parmesan was rich, satisfying, and beautifully plated.
For entrées, I had the halibut with celery purée and swapped the green beans for more of those irresistible Brussels sprouts. Others at the table enjoyed the golden risotto with short ribs and the pappardelle bolognese, each dish met with rave reviews.
The service was friendly, attentive, and truly five-star. We felt cared for from start to finish. We also took photos of our meals because they were too beautiful not to capture. The food was so irresistible that we all started taking pictures after a few bites, we couldn’t help ourselves! Every plate was a work of art, and the flavors matched the presentation.
Chesca’s is more than a restaurant, it’s an experience. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a memorable meal, this place delivers. Highly recommended!

The waiter was nice, but I’m unhappy with the overall service I received here. The lamb was very salty. And lost my debit card after it was last seen with the bartender. They were not accommodating at all which was disappointing, and left a bad taste in my mouth.

We’ve been coming here almost every year for 30+ years. While it can be a tad noisy, the food is delicious. The Gorgonzola dip is a highlight!

We did a walk in and we were able to be accommodated for a family of 7 the food was excellent and the service was very accommodating both with my wife's allergies and the dietary needs for the two young kids we had as well. The Cod was cooked perfectly and the clam chowder highly recommend it

Best to stick with the Italian classics on the menu. Average food at Vineyard prices; and even then it feels overpriced. The staff were nice but couldn't make up for the dated decor and so-so food.
We were staying at the hotel and decided to check this restaurant out. We sat at the bar and our bartender was fantastic. He was on point with answering our questions. I ordered the delicious clam chowder my wife got the ahi tuna entree. She loved it. I would definitely come back to try other items.

Had a fantastic dinner last night at Chesca’s. Opening night of the season with a few new items on the menu. Great food and atmosphere. The owner/chef came out to say hello. Will definitely be going back to try more delicious food.

Left my credit card here and called several times and reached out via their website to retrieve with no response. Had to flag 17 charges of fraud with in person credit card use. Irresponsible management!

4 for dinner 9-20-24. Getting to our reserved table in a barely 1/3 full dining room was a bit of a challenge for the hostess, but eventually we were seated. Appetizers consisted of soups and stuffed dates. All were wonderful. Our dinners of chicken Marsala, baked cod and linguini with clam sauce were all very nice. A round of desserts were ordered for the table, chocolate pot de crème, key lime pie, and panna cotta. Again everything was very good. Our server was friendly and seemed to appear when needed. We were very pleased with the food. The music played in the dining room was another story, it was very repetitious and there was an audible sigh at our table and a surrounding one when it paused to repeat itself all over again. The music definitely does not compliment the good food. It would be great to have the heavy music with the drumming undertones replaced with something light and melodic to better compliment a good meal.
