Dante was the most unprofessional bartender I have ever witnessed in my entire life. He should be fired immediately. How does he still have a job? Incredibly rude and his attitude was that of an entitled snobbish child. Will never return here. Fire him!!!!

Food is always delicious. Entire staff is friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is beautiful. Refinished Old Fitchburg General Electric building. The presence of the restaurant in this architectural dream is to been seen. Food and Staff hands down are priceless.

Nice place, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Food was delicious. Parking can be a little tricky, might have to park further up the street (on street 2 hr limit) or on side road if your lucky. Also, we wanted 6PM reservations and they couldn't take us until after 7. I showed up early at 6 and the place was practically empty. I sat at the bar for a while and friend joined later. We eventually grabbed a table in bar area at around 7.

Dario's is my favorite spot in Fitchburg. The food is fantastic and priced well, I love the veal parmesan. Dante the bar tender is a master of craft cocktails. For me this is the best restaurant in the fitchburg leoninster area!
Best scallops we have ever had ! Every time I travel I just know - no one does seafood better than New England. So fresh and yummy. The flavor speaks for itself , great energy and

I was expecting this dinner to be stellar with a lot of good reviews. And I took out my love for an early birthday dinner at Darios. We had a couple apps as well. The garlic knots were small and crunchy and not that usual soft pillowy bread you may expect. The meatballs (4) were spongy and Mike said tasted like chef boarde. I thought about it for a while and he was right, they were bland and so was the sauce. His chicken parm was flat and dried out and the pasta was cold. My lobster/shrimp risotto was sub par. It was hot, but the flavor was uniform. After a few bites it was just boring. The risotto was not the usual sticky creamy texture either, but felt like grains of rice floating in a viscous liquid that was slightly creamy.It was well over 100 with a generous tip. But I was sorely disappointed. I like a lot of flavor and so does Mike. So I'm thinking that this just isn't our style.The place was beautiful inside and I will say the staff was very friendly too.

Tasty local place in downtown. Stopped in after having driven by for a long time. Pork chop was incredibly tender. Veal Parm was also quite good. East in and out with a wheelchair. A good night all around.
Fantastic food and flavors! But above all the staff make this place absolutely amazing. Mya (sp) was most gracious and personable making this my personal favorite.
High end dining, excellent food, date night atmosphere

My husband and I dine here at least once a week. We prefer to sit at the bar, but it fills up quickly. Dante is our favorite bartender, he has a great personality and his craft cocktails are amazing! He is the main reason we keep coming back, he is attentive and gives wonderful recommendations on drinks and food. I truly hope he is appreciated by management for his work ethic and genuine desire to make the customer happy.

Love everything about Darios. I grew up in Fitchburg so to see this space beautifully restored is simply wonderful. Our second visit and food was again piping hot and delicious. Music was at a perfect volume. Just background music, relaxing and allowing enjoyable conversation. Love the linen tablecloths and spotless table settings. My only wish is that the tiramisu had more liqueur flavor. It was a bit bland yet very light in texture. So happy it's so close to Ashby!
