26 Best Italian Restaurants near Framingham

“Scott gave us fantastic service! He appeared to be the only server this afternoon but you would never know it—he was so quick and attentive. He put us at a quiet table as requested, then got our order right in, refills on drinks, rolls, and then automatically got us a second pizza to take home as he said the first one didn’t come out the way he wanted it to.. we were so lucky to have him today—thank you Scott for giving us such a wonderful dining experience!!“

“My wife and I have been to multiple Olive Gardens over the years. But our experience today at the Framingham, MA restaurant was by far the best. It started at the entrance with Joseph greeting us with such friendliness and sincerity. Then it continued with Sylvia our waitress. She also was friendly and sincere, along with attentive. Joseph and Sylvia set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. I hope the general manager reads this review and relays it to Joseph and Sylvia. The food was delicious as always. The vanilla ice coffee was incredible.“

“The pizza is amazing!! Besides that I took my 79 yr old father and you can stay and eat. It’s handicap accessible. Bubba’s pizza is out of this world and his staff is so friendly and courteous. I recommend this place to kids and adults of all ages!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I used to go to this place back in 2004/5 or so (traveling into Boston periodically) and I remember the Pizza at this service plaza being some of the tastiest I had ever had in New England. I recently stopped by in 2021 and it was still pretty tasty, albeit different from my recollection of the early 2000s. If I travel to Boston/Cambridge I will stop again in again since it is pretty good. Obviously, on the way out of town, since it is on the westbound side of the Highway...“

“Excellent people exc food great prices!“

“Great food, friendly and knowledgeable staff!! Gluten free selection to keep my wife happily fed also which is sometimes hard!!!“

“We are “regulars” at the 89 which means we dine there at least once or twice a week! The food, the severs, the bartenders and the owners are all amazing!! They know “who gets” without asking. They space out courses perfectly, yet they are there when you need them. They never make you feel rushed but check periodically to see if you need anything! We have never had a disappointing meal and we have tried most everything on the menu as well as the weekly specials! From the house made soups to the fresh pastas, entrees and amazing desserts you cannot go wrong. If you haven’t been there and are looking for an outstanding dining experience try 89!! It won’t disappoint!“

“First time for dinner. The food was VERY fresh. The meals were delicious and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be going back.“

“The food and service was outstanding. We were greeted by the owner,John Testa, he oversees the whole operation. Huge portions, a well balanced plate (not too heavy on the pasta) the Italian Chop Salad for two can feed four. The waitstaff are friendly and efficient. Looking forward to going back .“

“Late lunch. One of three people there. The other guys there where friendly and great to talk to. They told me everything there is made fresh, and pizza dough is made daily. The bartender Amy was personable, fun, and great! Met one of the owners too. Nice guy. All around great experience and food was excellent.
Highly recommend 👌“

Not only was the food great, but Marty, the manager, was very helpful with our order. Everyone was friendly. And the service was excellent.“

“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“

“Delicious (pieces of) pizza and foccacia, very tasty! I took a 'small slice' and that was more than enough for lunch for me.
And bread, rolls and Italian products for sale. Couple of places to eat locally. Very sweet service.
Had a delicious lunch!“

“Just ordered a small bbq chicken pizza for lunch here for the first time and I was blown away by how good it was. I expected a pretty generic pizza, but what I got blew my expectations away. I will definitely make this my regular lunch spot if I am in the area for work.“

“Been stopping by here the last few months since I discovered this gem. Ordered catering for family Easter get together for 14 and could have easily fed 25! Everything was delicious, fresh, and they helped me carry it out to my car. Five stars all around and Thank you, Luca’s!“

“I like this restaurant the food is always good but it's just a probably mostly takeout restaurant so they're not investing a lot in atmosphere

Parking: It's just on the street and sometimes Natick offers free parking on the street that usually it's paid meters

Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't see a wheelchair access entrance it's about four steps up to get in but I expect there's an entrance somewhere“
