20 Best Italian Restaurants near Harvard

“Genuinely amazing staff member (possibly owner) was closed at the time when we walked in after a long day and a long ride home still to come. He was enjoying a soccer game on the big screen at end of his day. He generously sent us home with a couple of delicious slices on the house that we happily devoured in the parking lot. Thank you sincerely from a couple of hungry travelers.“

“We had ordered through DoorDash and it was never picked up. Booooo DoorDash. The restaurant called me to let me know the food was there and the Dasher was not. Thankfully my husband was able to go get it. I couldn’t believe it when a few minutes later, one of the people who works there (Sedona) called me back to say she would drop it off if I couldn’t get it! Talk about above and beyond. The food was fantastic. I had the limoncello with chicken. Sooooooo good. Crispy chicken cutlet, but moist and a delicious beurre blanc. My husband got the bistec and loved it as well. We had never tried this place before but will now be frequent flyers (just not with DoorDash!).“

“Very good lunch spot! Great tasty sandwich! Cute atmosphere.“

“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“

“Super recomendo a melhor pizza.“

“Just came from El Forno. Lunenburg had a pepperoni and pepper pizza. It was by far the best pizza I have ever had since the old days at the European in the northend. Great job Michael and crew always.“

“Stopped here after work. Never been. Chicken pesto panini with hots.. OMG it was a revelation! Hands down the best Sandwich I've had in a long time. Got it to go, half of it didn't make it out of my parking spot. They were quick affordable and absolutely outstanding! I will be back!“

“​I love this place! The food is always really good and the service is excellent. I've been here a few times now, but this is my first time leaving a review. You have to try the chicken Alfredo—it’s easily one of my favorite dishes here!“

“We were looking for meatball subs, and New London most definitely delivered. I went with the small size grinder, and without seeing the large side-by-side, I could not have told you what size I received. Half of my sub made for a good leftover lunch the next day. Other members of our party had a chicken gyro, and a salad with tuna. The combination of Greek and Italian items on the menu allowed for substantial choices for everyone. My only quibble was that I did not find ice water available to have with my meal. All the beverage choices seemed to be bottled from a self-service refrigerator case, and single use bottled water is something I will go out of my way to avoid. New London was a pleasant place to eat - they have ample seating to the side of the counter where customers place their orders.“

“Great Place always fresh and delicious“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“The food is 10/10. Old ownership wasn’t impressive, but the pizza here is 10/10. Highly recommend !!“

“We stopped at Slater's for lunch and the food is delicious. We ordered the pulled pork entree which came with cucumber salad, potato salad & corn bread. Plus we got a small Hawaiian pizza. The pizza is wood fired. The pulled pork came first & both me & my husband thought that it was the best BBQ that we have had in a long time. The pizza was thin crust which is our favorite. Everything was delicious. My husband even ordered some pulled pork to go. Our server Liz was so sweet & helpful since this was our first time there.“

“Best pizza around, for real. Rated Atmosphere but I’ve only gotten to go and don’t really know. Only complaint is the hours; closing at 7pm during the week and at 6pm on Sundays has certainly missed out on our business a few times because they were closed.“

“I went here with my family today and was very impressed, Iriesa was my server, she provided great service and the food was very good. Iriesa provided great suggestions. The wings were perfectly cooked. Looking forward to coming back here, Glad to see places like this are still around.“

“Wasn't expecting the fresh baked, huge subroll. The sandwich was the size and shape of a football! What a pleasant surprise. Couldn't believe how fast my sandwich came out, and how delicious it was. Definitely a hidden gem, I wouldn't hesitate to stop back in.“

“Easily my favorite place to eat in all of Massachusetts. First time back in over 10 years and the steak subs are still the best!“

“Came here for lunch and got the brazilian burger combo and its a large portion! Really delicious and filling, it had ham and skinny potato sticks which makes it different from a regular burger. The service and quick, they bring your food to you once you order dinning in. Would def come here again“

“Absolutely delicious bbq chicken pizza thanks again!!! Will be ordering again in the future“

“Delicious chicken salad wrap! Great service.“
