“Have always enjoyed the food, eating in or take out. During covid when open we enjoyed many a meal and always felt our business was appreciated. Tonight my wife called to place an order ( of roughly 200.00 to 250.00) for our family. Understandably it took a while for the phone to be answered and when it was and my wife said " hello I would like to place a take out order" received " we are not taking take out orders this eve" and was abruptly hung up on. We have been loyal supporters of this establishment pretty since it opened. Never spending another penny here. Our money was great when things were lean, sadly unappreciated. Thanks.“

“BOSA completely blew us away and honestly helped me and my fiancé re ignite our relationship. Odd I know but we can explain. First off food was phenomenal and I would even say that work underplays it. Every dish nails layers of flavor. There’s few places that I go and order different meals as I usually go with what I know but BOSA offers great diversity in their menu and I cant wait to treat my fiancé to dinner again here. Now let’s get to our waitress Nicole! She’s the one who made this night beyond amazing. The initial greet was done with a friendly face and welcoming smile that made us feel right at home. She’s super knowledgeable about the whole menu with great recommendations! One thing I greatly admire and appreciate is she will give you her personal opinions of the food instead if trying to upsell the most expensive. That goes a long long way with me. Nicole is super personable and friendly it felt like we knew her for 10 years! You don’t see this service anymore and I told her I want to personally request her everytime we go from now on. Nicole told us her daughter works with her as well (clearing/cleaning tables, etc); what a dynamic duo I’ll tell ya! Both of them truly amazing! When I say me and my fiancés relationship got re ignited by Nicole and bosa that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Between broken down vehicles and trying to afford a wedding money has caused lots of tension, but money didn’t even phase us tonight. The service we received was worth more than what I had in my pocket. We tipped Nicole well and honestly if I had more cash on me I woulda done more. She didn’t even want to accept the tip but she’s truly amazing. We left feeling refreshed and renewed so thank you Nicole! You changed us for the better and showed us there’s still good people in the world. Thank you once again for an amazing night and we are truly blessed to have met you. Nicole should be the face of the company they would kill it! She’s funny smart knowledgeable and truly knows how to connect and take care of each individual customer. We left feeling like we were friends! Phenomenal night, phenomenal food, even better staff! The entire crew from hostess to Nicole to the manager and general manager came together and made the night special memorable and gave us lots to talk about. We have a network of many “foodies” and we will be sharing our experience with them!“

“Nick and Janelle were outstanding bartenders. Their attention to detail was something to be admired even as the bar was crowded. They were personable and truly cared about the customer experience.“

“We’ve been coming here for years. The service is always an A+ The food is always an A+ We drive all the way here from MA for dinner 🩷“

“Very scrumptious and busin busin. Lovely place to eat and have great pickles for the side. 10/10 would recommend“

“This is a jewel cafe that became my favorite. I drive for 30 minutes to enjoy the food here. Staff members are friendly, there is a variety of meals and sweets. The pistachio ricotta is my favorite as well as the Tiramisu and the Italian donuts straight out of the oven. The sitting area is bright and comfortable. The parking is great. Their coffee is the best 👌 I highly recommend this cafe.“

“Warm, cozy environment - friendly, professional service (Isabelle was amazing) and some unique genuine Italian creations with some great table wine - haven’t been here in 15+ years but will definitely be coming back soon… ♥️“

“Our favorite place! The food is consistently delicious, the service is always outstanding, and it just has a great vibe and atmosphere. We love Orzo’s!“

“From start to finish, I would recommend Salvatore’s to any engaged couple as a top tier wedding venue in the area. Marci was our coordinator and I cannot give her enough positive praise for her expertise and genuine care for us as the bride and groom throughout the entire process. The food is unbelievable, with more than just Italian options. We chose a carving station, chicken marsala, pasta, salad, veggie medley, and whipped potatoes for our buffet. Plated meals are available as well. The Coliseum room is the larger of the two function rooms, and the dance floor is centrally located with tables around it. Also included in the room is a full bar and a beautiful private bridal suite included with a bathroom and sitting area. We had plenty of room for a photo booth for guests. The wait staff and bartender were exceptional and took great care of our guests. The tasting was included in the price and was an amazing way to make sure our menu was perfect for our special day. Prices are reasonable, and you truly feel like you are being taken care of as family here. I did not get to meet Michael, the owner, but I heard fabulous feedback about him as well. I truly cannot thank Marci enough for making my experience as a bride planning a wedding so seamless and stress free. It was the most magical day ever!“

“My granddaughter and I finally made it to Decor restaurant. This restaurant had come highly recommended by many people and It has been on our bucket list for a while and tonight we finally tried it out and we both loved our dinner and desert so much. The Restaurant was very clean and it is also family owned and the owners are lovely people ,we can’t wait to go back and bring some friends. I give it a big huge 👍 up😄“

“This was a great dining experience! We dine out pretty often and like good quality food.. This restaurant hit the mark on everything we like in a restaurant from the cocktails to the apps and all entrees were delicious! Very refreshing atmosphere, bright clean and modern. Will definitely be back again! - Kim Smith“

“My wife and I went to the Roma for an early supper on 5/25 and from the time we walked in to the time we left we were treated like a member of David’s family. He and the staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. The food was plenty. Can not wait to go back.“

“We hosted both of my children's 1st birthday parties at Maria's and they have always been great. Their function room is beautiful, the staff is always kind, and the food always good. I also believe it to be reasonable priced. I would recommend Maria's to anyone hoping to have a nice event of any size!“

“Didn’t get a before photo but the after photo tells the story!! The Market Al Fresca in Tewksbury - four cheese lasagna - I don’t usually comment on other peoples lasagna because I like mine BUT this was absolutely delicious, so tasty and packed with cheese. Half of this tray fed three adults (it’s about a 6x9 tray) I can’t wait to try some of their other dinner offerings! I might never cook again!!! And they had gluten free offerings also. Of course I left with just baked bread still warm snd dessert as well. TRy it out I don’t think you will be disappointed!!!“

“I had the Rocco sandwich, which was delicious! I highly recommend 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Drove 50 minutes to meet friends we haven’t seen in a while, only to be told upon being seated we had only 90 minutes. All through meal an underlying sense of being rushed. No offer of dessert or dessert menu, just told someone was waiting for our table. Minutes later waiter started clearing glasses, silverware off table in front of us. Food was very good, too bad experience was“

“We had our 2nd catered luncheon event from this River Road location in Andover and they outdid themselves again! The food was fantastic! The Eggplant Parm, Sliders, Chicken broccoli penne, Mista Salad and the cookies and brownies for dessert were perfect. Looking forward to ordering from them again in the future. Reasonably priced and delicious!“

“Excellent lunch today with the family. Large lunch portions, excellent food, fantastic service.“

“excellent service and food“

“Great place awesome food and drinks“

“We tried this place cause it was close to our hotel and we are so glad we did it!
The place is small but clean and the employees were super friendly, the food was so good, we tried different dishes like wings, pizza and cheese fries but the steak and cheese sub was our favorite I could eat it everyday!!!
Definitely we will be back!“

“Best pizza“

“This is one of the very few restaurants that will make you immediately feel at home! You can tell right from the start how much everyone and everything is appreciated and cared for which I believe is the benefit of a family owner restaurant especially when the family is as welcoming and caring as this one. From the martinis coming from the bar (with friendly service from Krista), especially my favorites the homemade creamy limoncello martini, their REAL espresso martinis, and their lemon drop to name a few, to the made to order dishes that you can customize to meet your preferred tastes or needs- everything is just done right! The appetizers are literally to die for- the eggplant a la romana will melt in your mouth, the world famous seafood mushroom are definitely world famous and the clams casino are 👌! For dishes I would recommend their double pork chop alla Nicola with truffle fries, their chicken or veal francese, their Marsala, saltimbocca, chicken langistino on their specials, and their amazing eggplant parm. Make sure you get their homemade pasta which they have 3 to choose from! If you truly know when a restaurant is overall special, then you won't have a hard time choosing the Colosseum for your next dine out experience. Despite when they get busy, I don't think they disappoint. Well worth the wait!!“

“Great service food was great the lady I talked to is so kind“

“Food is fantastic, great sized portions, affordable, welcoming and inviting staff. We've never had a meal we didn't love and we go all the time! Definitely recommend.“

“OMG ,,,, this place has the best calzone and stuffed shells ever. Love it Great service“

“The food was so good loved the gyros and falafel with tahini sauce ?? Staff are extremely helpful and friendly I recommend it to everyone ??“

“Amazingly crafted sauce recipe. I normally get heartburn off of red sauce but this one is good.

This is THE BEST crust you will get within at least 25 miles. I’d honestly say that this is the best pizza you will get between Boston and all of New Hampshire.

Friendly people and they work hard to keep these pizzas and other food coming out top notch.

If you are looking for a 9/10 rating pizza, you call them and pay them. Tip them too… we need these pizzas to keep spinning!“

“I put Capri at the top of the list of Windham area establishments! The pizza sauce is easily the best flavored sauce around! I’m also a sub connoisseur, and their Italian subs, as well as their steak n cheese is amazing! I had a ham n cheese calzone with pepperoni the other night that was my favorite calzone ever! I can go on and on!“

“Great service. Diane was our waitress. She was great!!“

“Im disappointed that the trios come with fettuccine and only one option for pasta with red sauce. They Must have changed the policy since I was here last. So disappointed. Not a fan of mixing red sauce and fettuccine sauce. The pizza was good.“

“Romano's Pizza on Primrose St in Haverhill is the BEST bunch of Kind People with the best Pizza and Subs around!!! Always great guys and cheerful order Service. They even give me a Veteran's Discount which is so much appreciated. Thank You All - I Salute YOU! - Tom Merrill Haverhill Ma.“

“The best (not huge)meatball sub!“

“This location is the best! I had a HUGE order for a work event. Everything was ready when I got there and it was still super hot. The employees were super nice & offered to help bring the pizzas to my car. The pizza was great, everyone loved it!“
