“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 ❤️“

“Wonderful experience at Rossetti. Our first time there. The service is outstanding and the food to die for. Best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. Love love love this place. Try it you will not be sorry.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Delicious tiramisu & raspberry cheesecake. Very tasty watermelon strawberry sangria. & the absolute BEST chicken limone with fresh pasta!“

“Went for dinner Sunday with my son and had one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. From the Service, the bread in that oil was amazing to the shrimp scampi and the tiramisu. Highly recommend!!!“

“Best Italian pasta I ever tried!!!“

“The food was great, but what really made this dining experience so phenomenal & memorable was our waitress Fabiola. Such a bright personality that made this night with friends one I’ll remember forever.“

“Great atmosphere and great food! Everything was great! Will definitely be back“

“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!“

“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.“

“Come here all the time and it is by far the best pizza I’ve ever had! Everything is great, from the bread to the desserts. The owners Sonia and Sean are the best!“

“Superb restaurant, one of my Top Three Favorites.“

“A comfortable, old-fashioned Italian restaurant with terrific food. The antipasto is high quality, with roasted peppers, prosciutto, soppresata, cheese, olives -- one of many perfect starters . The calamari was perfectly fried, with hot peppers fried in with them. Entrees cover all the basics and a few really good signature items, like the veal tower -- veal with little tomatoes and arugula in generous portions. Dining rooms are comfortable, a little noisy. Service good. I have dined here several times and not been disappointed.“

“The most amazing dinner experience we’ve ever had! Theresa made us feel like family and even kept my 7 year old laughing and excited the whole meal. 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!“

“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“

“My son has special needs and we were treated with such kindness. I’m so thankful for the service provided and giving us a larger table to eat at so my son doesn’t get burnt. Heather is compassionate and made my heart smile! The food is beyond superb and there is no doubt that Logan and I will be back soon! ❤️“

“Good and service is wonderful!!!!“

“The owner came around and I was so glad she did so I could compliment her on the most delicious stuffed artichokes EVER!“

“We held our monthly motorcycle meeting at Bertucci’s in Reading. We have anywhere from 16-24 attendees. As always the room was set up, rolls, oil, pitchers of water and menus waiting for us. Our Waiter Steven, recognizes us by name (quite a feat since we never sit in the same seats each month). He knows who gets what for drinks. We settle in and he then takes our orders. He has a great sense of humor and there is lots of laughter. After ordering., We hold our meeting. Meeting done, food is delivered. He checks back to be sure we are all set. Boxes for leftovers are brought along with our checks. Individual checks too! Steven makes our dining at Bertuccis a fun night. Thanks Steven!“

“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.“

“Food was excellent good Italian pizza and I spent 10 plus years making pizza in the North End girl on register had a beautiful smile and face with curves and all the right places Beauty like that only makes the food taste better unfortunately a low selection of soda but willing to look past it thanks to micro Brews on tap West a great ambience Frank Sinatra music was feeling my ear as the smell of true authentic food with filling the air! All around I would give them more stars if I could“

“I love this place! One of my favorite restaurants in the greater Boston area. Super friendly & attentive staff, delicious food, entrees are huge portions, overall great atmosphere, and locally owned and run by an amazing family. Been at least 4x in the last 4-5months and plan to be back often to try the rest of the menu“
