29 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!!“

“you took all the Italian food that made you what you were, a great Italian restaurant. Now you are just another mediocre restaurant with hummus and meh food and $$$$$ Bad choice. Where is the gnocchi??? and everyone has veal and chicken parmesan... not impressed“

“just had one of the best dinners I have had in a long time..the server was (Evan) superb..the food (veal parm) was outstanding..the salad is always great..I really appreciate great Italian food and this was wonderful..“

“Always great food and service!“

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“You walk into an intimate, cozy yet spacious atmosphere. The service is so good you feel you rented the place out. Our server checked on us 5 times before we even got our meals.

You start with the most amazing breadsticks which are unlimited.

You then go on to an unlimited salad which is equivalent to a salad you got at la cantina in 2001.

Andrew enjoyed a wonderful tour de Italy which was instagram quality presentation.

I frequent the chicken parmigiana

The menu is honest and doesn’t try to be pretentious in its vulnerability you soon realize everything looks great.

Within two bites you pull from references eating in the north end yet a thought creeps in… is this the better? And it is.

Olive Garden doesn’t reinvent the wheel they focus on nailing the basics with astounding quality.

As the server grinds fresh Parmesan cheese over your salad you start understanding your at home and your family.

The manager comes by and touches your table seeing how everything is going. Forum like quality from a Michelin star restaurant that the Olive Garden brings back to the common family man. I fact I can’t remember a manager checking on my partner and I our last 20 dinners out.

You then have the luxury of choosing from 3 seperate prepared entrees that are refrigerated you can bring them to go for $6 each. So I took care of my father and my homeless friend.

The bill comes and you are stuffed to the brim and ordered a total of 3 meals to go you figure it’s well over 130 but it’s $70 and you just fed a family of 5 while you didn’t just dine you got pampered like a haircut you don’t want to end.“

“Our first time to Arcos and were delighted to have Anthony & Christina as our bartenders. What a great time enjoying conversation with both, as well with Mark. Will definitely be back again soon.“

“I have never in my life had a steak cheese & mushroom sandwich as good as Lola’s. We stopped in for a quick dinner Wednesday and I have been thinking (dreaming?) since then about how delicious it was. It’s a bit far for us to come there regularly but I can’t wait to visit again.“

“Came in today with the family, and we were admittedly quite impatient. The host was so incredibly articulate and she made our culinary experience ten times better. Highly recommend Emily, she is phenomenal at her job and we will come back!!“

“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“

“Amazing bakery with excellent service! The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The bread was fresh, delicious, and tasted homemade. I also love that they carry a variety of groceries, making it a convenient place to shop for more than just baked goods. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“After a friend raved about the chicken gyros at Famous Pizza, I quickly became a regular. Seriously, the gyros are the best I’ve ever had. Their pizza and calzones are great too. They have quickly become our family’s go-to for quick takeout and the owners are seriously sweet people, supportive of the community.“

“Dinner was fantastic!! Order to go…Veal piccata with linguine, Fresh Italian bread and Italian, sparkling….Sanpellegrino orange drink, with a fresh cannoli made to order.
Everything was exceptionally tasty. The VEAL in particular was exceptional.., very tender and cooked to perfection.. Cannoli was freshly made directly in front of you, with a nice firm shell.. portion size was generous. The bread was actually stupendous too!

“I got a primavera bbq catered for my daughters recent graduation party. I was highly surprised how good it was since primavera is known for their italian food. I thought the food was fantastic and so did all the guests. They came right on time and set up was and cleanup was exceptional. I would recommend..“

“Service was amazing. Food was even better. Friendliest staff of any restaurant I’ve ever been to. I live in California and I’m coming back!“

“Restaurant 45 is one of the best I’ve been to in a while! I stopped in with my dad the other day and was happy we were able to grab a table. This wasn’t my first time at 45, I’ve had a graduation party there before. However, it did remind me I have to go back more often.

The restaurant itself is nice. Plenty of parking and lots of room inside of the building. They have many rooms for functions set up as well.

Our waitress was Nikki, and she’s fantastic. Great personality, bubbly, and helpful. I was very happy to have her! This night I ordered the chicken Loretta but had it over pasta. This was probably one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. The pasta was cooked expertly, chicken was nice and crisp, and the ricotta mixture was the perfect amount of creamy. I would highly recommend Restaurant 45 to anyone who wants a great meal!“

“As regular customers, we love dining at this restaurant with our family. The food is always amazing and never disappoints. The menu has a fantastic variety, and each dish we try becomes a new favorite. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make every visit special. We recommend this place without hesitation and look forward to our next meal!“

“I am a frequent customer of this location, eat 2-3 days a week. used to love eating amato's as a kid best place to go to relive my childhood. Do have a problem with the young guy that works there twice now whenever he has had to make my sandwiches he has messed up. Refuse to order through doordash anymore and will only go in the store and order so I can watch him make my sandwiches. Not the sound rude but it's really not that hard to read Black ink on white paper on how to make a sandwich especially since I order the same thing every time I go in made the same way“
