21 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!!“

“Always great food and service!“

“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..“

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, setting the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. The menu offered a thoughtful selection of dishes, each crafted with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. Every bite was packed with flavor—balanced, creative, and clearly made with care.

What truly elevated the evening, however, was the service—especially from Nas. Our server, Nas, was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic. They offered spot-on recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the meal. It’s rare to encounter service that feels this natural and sincere, and Nas made a lasting impression.

Great food can bring you in, but it’s the people who make you want to come back—and in this case, Nas made the entire experience unforgettable.“

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Never ever had a bad meal or dining experience at Carbones. You want an Italian feast or just a good meal this is the place. Been going there for 50 years and will be there again tonight Always look forward to eating at Carbones. Thank you all there for giving us this treasure for all these years“

“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!!“

“We stopped in today because we were in town for another reason and skeptically asked whether they had anything for vegans (you can't tell quickly from looking at the menu). The kind person behind the counter was genuinely happy to tell us they had great vegan cheese, we should get a pizza - - we did and we LOVED it, just like my favorite NY pizza. The nicest thing was that they really wanted us to be happy, and we were. Thank you, we will make a drive to be 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“

“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!
This establishmen continues to never ever disappoint. Consistently great and reasonably priced.
HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!
Keep up the great work thank you for a delightful meal.“

“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 .“

“Super recomendo a melhor pizza.“

“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“

“We have lived in this area for more than 20 years and had never been. A friend mentioned so we decided to try it. We sat at the bar and had a fantastic dinner. Stacey was a delight and so nice to talk to. Service was amazing. Food was great! Portions are huge. We had a fabulous evening. We will be back!“

“Our go-to sub shop was closed and we needed a quick easy meal after vacation so we tried Famous. The steak sub was one of the best I’ve ever had. There was absolutely no fat or gristle which is rare. My husband had the Italian with everything including hot peppers. It was good his only suggestion was that the balance of veggies to meats was a little off. Communication with the online ordering was excellent and delivery was quicker than quoted. We would definitely order from there again.“

“AMAZING FOOD! And great staff!“
