“We had dinner reservations at 6:45 and arrived early. Sat at the bar for a drink and decided to stay there. The bartenders were great !! My martini was to die for. Corey did an excellent job making it. Dinner was delicious. I had the lobster risotto and my partner had a filet. We also had salads and the bread was amazing. We will definitely be back.“

“First time at IL PONTE! Definitely not our last time. Luigi made our experience one to remember with his expertise in making the best drinks and food recommendations. Brianne welcomed us on a crowded Friday (even though it was only 5:30) and accommodated us - a party of 2. 10 out of 10. Food was the best Italian food we’ve ever had. Staff was so welcoming and kind. Will be back again soon - on a Tuesday or Friday - because Luigi is the best! Thank you for a great experience ❤️“

“Wow, wow, and wow again! What a treat that my dear friend and I happened upon this GEM! At first glance it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when you step inside it’s like entering a whole new world. It is elegant and beautiful, a fantastic combination of fine dining with an atmosphere like coming home. Such a quaint spot with the best quality Italian food I have ever had. Cristiano was the kindest server on the planet, so attentive, and so welcoming! As a worker in the food service industry, I was blown away! First off, drinks. To our surprise, Arancini has a BYOB policy (SO COOL! People had brought their own bottles of wine, which Cristiano offered to open and put on ice). Other than that, they offer your typical sodas, some juice, and a variety of sparkling and still water options. Let’s talk food. Right away, they bring fresh, warm, house-made bread, with fantastically seasoned dipping oil. Other than that, we started off with the Caesar salad and the friend mozzarella appetizer. The Caesar salad (despite it being just about the most basic thing that someone can order) was so well put together. It had just the right amount of dressing, and fresh grated, high quality parmesan cheese! The mozzarella app was quite possible the tastiest thing I have ever put in my mouth. Oh my god, it just about dissolved in my mouth. Imagine the best mozzarella sticks you’ve ever had in your life, but the cheese is so high quality and it is freshly battered and friend minutes before it is brought to your table. Never frozen - just made hot and fresh for you to eat. Don’t even get me started on the marinara sauce. Again, clearly house-made and so fresh. I could’ve had it as a soup! For a main meal I had the most delicious fettuccini Alfredo. The sauce was TO DIE FOR. The pasta was perfectly cooked (I didn’t know pasta could even taste like that ). I asked for chicken in the pasta and… oh. my. god. I have no words. I mean I can attempt to describe it but I won’t do it justice. Tender, JUICY, and you KNOW it’s authentic because the chicken was battered in egg. I was drooling before I took a single bite. I also added broccoli and it was SO PERFECT. The whole meal, it was just the best food I have ever had I swear. PLEASE give this place a shot! You’ll probably want a reservation because I don’t think there are more than 10 tables there! It’s small but mighty. Thank you Cristiano for making this experience incredible!“

“Exceptional Italian food. Extremely pleasant and generous offerings. Strongly recommend to family and friends.“

“Great food, wonderful service. Very attentive staff.“

“Being 100% Italian also the food was amazing! They started us off with real EVOO to dip Our bread in with salt & pepper you can tell the EVOO was straight from Italy. I started with the arancini special which was sausage and saffron sitting in a white creamy sauce that was absolutely delicious. Then it was a toss up on my pasta dish between lobster raviolis and wild mushroom pappardelle I went with the lobster raviolis in a pink sauce. I never finish my food and I ate ever single ravioli. The portion was good enough for me and the proper way to eat a pasta dish so you don’t have left overs or waste. The pink sauce was creamy and delicious (I even dipped my bread in it at the end). Then I went straight for the dessert and ordered affogato (gelato with espresso) wow amazing not too sweet and not too bitter from the espresso perfect blend. Then my friend and I still were not ready to leave so I ordered a espresso martini and again amazing only advice I would give them is shake the martini more to make it foamy And that was my first experience at Gusto’s I give it a 10/10 Oh and the pizza looked really good that will be my next outing.“

“Outstanding menu that changes seasonally and with specials. Service is superb! Especially Christina. We love to visit and eat here with goid friends. Never a bad meal. A plus! 10 stars! All quality food! Worth every penny. Love pans cota too!“

“One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at! The food is all fresh and delicious, and made with artistry and love. Love? Yeah, love. It’s as if the chef/owner, Paul, crafts each entree as if he’s making it for his own family for Sunday dinner. If you order something fried, the batter is light, airy, and crispy like the calamari in this pic. If you order pasta, good luck finding anything fresher. To steal from what another diner wrote on their FB page, this is the kind of Italian restaurant Billy Joel writes songs about. I just wish it was closer so I could eat there more often!“

“My husband and I made reservations for Valentine’s Day after a wonderful first visit to this cozy spot! Our wait for food was a bit long, but that is to be expected on a particularly busy night. The food and drinks certainly made up for the wait. We had bruschetta to start, which is of course a staple of any Italian spot; it was delicious. I loved the goat cheese on this rendition. For our entrees we decided to get two different dishes and share. I had the vitello saltimboca, and my husband had the heart shaped ravioli, a Valentine’s special. Both entrees were delicious, filling, and easy to share on our appetizer plates. I also loved the drink special for tonight. I feel specials can be very hit or miss, but Ciao Amici did not disappoint. I highly reccomend this cozy restaurant for its fine food, kind service, and comfortable atmosphere.“

“Took my brother in for his birthday 9/8, the waiter was great the food was great and the atmosphere was great and Linda at the front door of course was also a great woman and funny! Now my brother is taking me back for my birthday 9/16 who needs the nort end when we have this great family Italian restaurant right on foster st in Peabody!“

“This place was a great find for us that our out of town. Food and the atmosphere was awesome. The desert display was incredible.“

“HANDS DOWN the best Italian food I've ever eaten! Even the drinks were to die for, and I rarely drink. I had a Key Lime Pie martini, and a Pistachio martini...SO good! I drove down from Concord, New Hampshire for a girls night. We're planning another here soon! Give Venetian Moon a try, and be sure to ask to be seated in Louise's section. He was outstanding!!“

“Great place, great staff and amazing food. Their pizza is as good as it gets.. But it’s tough to decide with so many great offerings.“

“Free parking in the rear! This spot does not disappoint. Great pizza and feet selection on pasta and others. The spaghetti and meatballs don’t disappoint, the lobster ravioli was also exceptional. The best part of this is well the customer service first and foremost. What’s a close second is the complimentary rolls with oil cheese and dried peppers. We were also lucky enough for the staff to bring us ricotta cheese balls on the house! Staff was super friendly with the kids also so that is always a plus.“

“We stopped by for a quick bite, and the place did not disappoint. While the food menu was limited, the drink menu offered a great selection. The ambiance and decor inside the restaurant were lively and enjoyable, adding to the overall experience.“

Her food takes you right back to Italy and it’s made with so much love. We traveled from Texas and tried it on a whim - WOW best meal/experience of the whole trip.

“Literally everything is good. I’ve tried almost the entire menu and it is all delicious. We usually get lunch here and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. If you want truly authentic Italian cuisine, this is the best place in the area, hands down, nothing else comes close. If you like fried chicken, I recommend the Milano, if you love prosciutto, try the Parma.“

“Best Pizza I’ve Ever Experienced ❤️🍕❤️“

“Great service and fantastic food. It was Easter Sunday so very crowded so it was kind of loud but have gone here other times and it was much better. Easter Sunday Specials were amazing. The Lollipop Lamp chops with the Balsamic pearls were out of this world. My mother in law ate every last morsel of here lobster ravioli and sopped up the sauce with bread. Thanks to Danielle our server - great job.“

“The delivery is always speedy and the steak tips NEVER disappoint. So good🤤🤤🤤“
