“Fantastic night at Davios for my boyfriend's birthday. Our waiter, Paul (I believe that was his name), was friendly, kind, and helpful! Don't skip the desserts when you go! The presentation is outstanding!!“

“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!“

“A regular go to restaurant........fortunate to have locally“

“My husband and I went to Il Ponte in Woburn for the first time tonight. Let’s just say it will not be the last. From the moment we walked in right up until we walked out the door it was an incredible experience. We both had cocktails: a Cabernet and falling for you and both were amazing. The bread/focaccia with garlic and oil was a fantastic start to the meal. We got the octopus and a bruschetta to start and they were flavorful and cooked perfectly. My husband had the braised short rib over saffron risotto and he said it was delicious and fork tender. He said the flavor was like nothing he’s ever had and the saffron risotto was incredible and cooked perfectly. I got the special which was a crusted swordfish with asparagus risotto and it was, hands down, the best swordfish I have ever eaten. It was crusted so lightly and the swordfish was cooked to perfection. The portion was so big that I took half home. We don’t usually order dessert but when the server said “pistachio gelato” they reeled me in. My husband got bomboloni and couldn’t stop making all the faces and sounds…it was to die for. Before we finished the owner was making rounds at the tables thanking everyone and making sure we enjoyed our meals. I would give Il Ponte a 20/10 rating. We will absolutely be back again. If you get the opportunity….do not sleep on Il Ponte.“

“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!“

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

“An exceptional experience at Parla\! Cas provided some of, if not the BEST customer service I’ve EVER HAD\. Warm, genuine, incredibly attentive, what more could one ask for? Nothing\. Cas was able to successfully tend to all of the customers at the bar, while ensuring each customer’s needs were met\. Cas made sure we felt cared for and was very attentive without being overbearing\. The team truly listens to what each customer wants and goes above and beyond to create the best possible experience while serving responsibly. ALSO THE MUSIC IS PERFECT.

A special thank\-you to Gui, who we believe made a fantastic mini Paper Plane to complement the perfect cocktail\. Between the personalized service, friendly atmosphere, and genuine hospitality, this was a 11/10 experience from start to finish\. If you visit Parla, sit at the bar and ask for Cas—you’ll be in excellent hands.“

“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.“

“Last night I had the pleasure of visiting Volo Craft Pizza in Swampscott, MA — and wow, what an experience! 🌊🍕 The ambiance right by the water is beautiful, with Boston’s skyline in the distance, and the service made us feel right at home. Owners Pina and Tony are so warm and personable — it truly feels like family when you’re there. Now, the food… absolutely incredible. Having grown up with New York City parents (and with my own background working in a pizza restaurant), I know good pizza when I taste it — and this was next-level. Their Detroit-style Double Trouble pizza with hot honey was out of this world. 🍯🔥 The Caesar salad with fresh-grated cheese was crisp and flavorful, and don’t even get me started on the cannolis with chocolate chips and lemon — pure heaven. 🍋🍫 I’d happily drive 35 minutes any day for this. The pizzas are clearly made with love, and I can’t wait to bring my parents back to try it. If you’re anywhere near the North Shore (or even if you’re not) — do yourself a favor and try Volo. Highly recommend! 🙌 #VoloCraftPizza #SwampscottMA #NorthShoreEats #PizzaLovers #DetroitStylePizza #BostonEats #FoodieFavorites“

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. I am forever grateful for the meal and kindness you gave to me and my family. Please don’t hesitate, just jump in and try her place today!“

“Excellent service and food“

“Fantastic service - great food! Have never been disappointed.“

“Delicious food! Always willing to help the community.“

“My wife’s business opened up in Wakefield seven months ago and we’ve already dined here six times. The food has always been delightful and fairly priced. But when we had a late lunch today, there was a gentleman at the bar (Pete?) that was incredibly loud / seemed to be irregular. Our server Debbie was great. We rushed through our meal to get out of there. I’m not sure we’ll go back. Instead of being in an Italian restaurant we felt like we were in a bowling alley.“

“After many years of walking by, I finally went in for dinner tonight. I was very happy with the experience. Friendly staff and excellent food. I will definitely return!“

“Greet food we will always come back her to eat“

“excellent friendly service, delicious food, awesome date place.“

“Amazing food. Start to finish - all was amazing. The only regret was getting 2 cheese dishes together. I should have realized or the waiter should have pointed it out - regardless the dishes by themselves were amazing. The CHEF knows how to cook and the desert was very well balanced. Definitely a restaurant to come to in Boston!“

“It’s our 1st time here food atmosphere and wait staff were awesome me and my husband celebrated our anniversary there tonight we shared mozzarella marinara and a Caesar salad and we both got the chicken broccoli and ziti in a garlic cream sauce ugh so delicious the only thing that bothered me and my husband a little was the loud noise from everyone talking other than that everything else was amazing we are def coming back“

“Dinner last night was top notch. Our party of 4 all ordered something different and every plate was superb, generous delicious portions and great friendly service. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. You can actually converse without having to talk over all the noise that comes with so many larger restaurants.“
