“The level of service was exceptional.Our waiter, Alan? Was perfect. All staff that addressed the table were professional, yet friendly.Paul, our sommelier, elevated the night to a level that most strive for but few achieve. He made our night.The food quality, prep, timing and quantity were spot on.Tuna tartare was so good.Rib eye and aged sirloin two of the best cuts ever and Pittsburgh style was a game changer. For sides we had a baked potato, garlic spinach, roasted potato and Italian style corn and all were very good. Solid 5 star night all around.“
“We went here because of the martini bar. The bartender was friendly and funny, she made the best Lemon Drop martinis I ever had! We had the shrimp egg rolls and BBQ chicken fingers appetizers. Delicious! Located in a strip mall in Nirth Reading. We will be going back and bringing friends.“
“I had the veal eggplant parmesan, lunch size it came with a side of spinach sautéed with olive oil and garlic. Reasonably priced the veal breaded was very tender quarter inch thickness and no grizzle. It is layered with breaded eggplant and topped with marinara sauce and a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. The waitress staff was very socially friendly, made you feel at home service was excellent. Sautéed spinach bright green very tasty. The place is a little aged.“
“Celebrating the birthdays of 3 family members, our party of 10 ranged from 4 to 81 years of age. From the moment our waitress, Selesia, introduced herself to us, until we left the restaurant with a hug, her attentiveness and patience was exemplary. The food and ambiance were outstanding. The appetizers, antipasto di Norcino, calamari and bruschetta were delicious. Entrees that we had included the braised short ribs, which was so tender no knife was needed, gnocchi, bolognese and calce di pepe were all thoroughly enjoyed and no "doggie bags" were needed. I highly recommend Il Ponte and we will return.“
“My husband and I went today for my birthday. From beginning to end, it was THE BEST experience! We were greeted by the most friendly hostess. Our server John treated us like we were important. Even though we are just regular people. The food was excellent ? ? ?! The service was even better, if that's even possible! The service. They have this down to a science. They know what they are doing. They all work together to make your dining experience exemplary! We will definitely be back! Thank you for giving me the best birthday ever ?!“
“Buono! You feel the warmth of this BYOB establishment the minute you walk through the door. The owner (Brazilian w/North End restaurant experience) greeted everyone picking up take out or arriving for their reservation. Staff, including the owner, worked as family to take orders, deliver and turn over tables to ensure every request was met. They made an effort to ask and remember our names as we said goodbye (reminded us of the Cheer's intro song). We took it as a sign that 'ran' is in their name and ran to take the first available reservation @ 4:00pm. The restaurant was full by 5:30pm. Given the hard surfaces it's loud, but reminiscent of childhood memories of dinner with my Italian neighbors. We enjoyed warm bread out of the oven w/olive oil & herbs, arancini sampler (one spinach & one bolognese) that were approaching baseball size, short rib gnocchi special & chicken marsala. The red sauce is absolutely delicious, the short rib melts in your mouth and the marsala sauce is one of the best I've had w/tender chicken. Portions are generous. We each took half of our entree home, but ended the evening by sharing an airy, creamy, delicious dessert named after the owner's daughter, Isa, w/coffee.“
“The food here is amazing, like really the food is incomparable to anything else. everything on the menu is 10/10 and the people are so friendly and so kind. They are so charismatic and talkative and make you feel very at home. There’s not enough stars to give them :)“
“Party of 4 - we had a 6:30 reservation and were seated promptly. Service was great. Very attentive waiter. All of us enjoyed the apps (eggplant rollatini and brushetta) and entrees. I got the chicken, broccoli and penne in Alfredo sauce and it was so creamy and delicious. Martinis were top notch too - espresso and strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend.“
“It was a brisk Saturday night and I took the lady out for a dish of pasta. I put on my finest linens and prepared to embark on date night. We arrived at Daniella's. We started with the muscles ??, then I enjoyed the Sunday sauce while the Mrs treated herself to the chix, broccoli and ziti..oh yea and you can't forget the mushroom risotto..mangia!! Dinner was delightful from start the finish.“
“Surprisingly delicious pizza! We had a mushroom pineapple one (my personal favorite), and a pepperoni. Their crust is thin. Rich in cheese. Great tomato sauce flavor. Their service is swift: you order at the counter and sit down. They call your name. Ambiance is traditional Italian American. The fireplace is a nice touch. Family friendly, pleasant atmosphere. Thumbs up!“
“I freaken love this place! It’s located in a corner of a Main Street in Saugus so you can’t miss it!! Pizza is always on point, topped with fresh vegetables and the crust is crispy. Tonight, I decided to get the chicken Alfredo with broccoli..oh man! it hit the spot. Tortellini pasta was aldente!! If you are in the area, stop by! They are always busy but food and customer service is always sooo great and most importantly consistent. Prices and portion matches the quality of food .“
“Food was absolutely delicious! Paul the owner is hands on with suggestions. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine in the North Shore. Paolo's is the real deal. You won't be disappointed, and the portions are generous to say the least.“
“Romantic & cozy atmosphere with great food and attentive waitstaff!! My girlfriend and I came here for an anniversary and mistakenly stayed until they closed (I thought they closed an hour later) and they still allowed dessert to-go and didn't rush us. We both really loved the grilled eggplant special they had! Would definitely recommend for a date night or special occasion.“
“My wife and I went here last Friday night with friends and we all Loved it!! We thought we would have trouble getting a table but that wasn't the case, surprisingly. Because the service and food were both excellent. Our server was great. He made our drinks as well and my wife said her lemon drop martinis x3, were to die for. He brought fresh warm rolls to the table, and we got the octopus and bruschetta appetizers that were very good along with a side Caesar salad for the table. Then ALL our entrées were DELICIOUS! My wife and I both got the chicken parm and she couldn't even come close to finishing hers. The cutlet is nice and thin, and more than half the plate. The red sauce has good flavor w penne pasta. The portions were worth the money. Our friends got the seafood medley, and a marsala dish that were also both very good. The only draw back is the atmosphere and location aren't the best. I really hope this place stays open or finds a little nicer location, because the food and service are Top Notch and well worth it. Give them a try, you won't regret it!! We'll be back soon.“
“We ❤️ Al fresco s. Fine fresh Italian cuisine. The best in town . They got a market also that you can grab some pre made lunch or dinners. Also so fresh. Call place your order you pick it up then. Lil shopping at market ?Parking: Alfresco s is very busy but they have off street parking. You don't wait more than a few minutes for a spot. People are dining in there s pickups then shopping at the market but the turn around is pretty fast so no worries ?“
“Recently hosted a bereavement meal at Tremezzo for the grandmother. Everything ran very smoothly and the food was excellent. Margie did an incredible job. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns leading up to the function.“
“I had a steak & cheese sub, It was good with some good sweet onions in there. Seems like they squirted oil on it though. Would have been better without it. Made me quesy about an hour after. GF got the Chicken Marsala, she loved & devoured it.“
“Eight of us went for dinner last night for the special Lobster Menu posted on their website for Wednesday nights, but unfortunately they no longer offer it. We ordered off the regular menu and everyone enjoyed their meals, so it wasn't a total disappointment. Our waitress and the other staff members were great at getting everyone's meals out at the same time. We asked for separate checks beforehand and our waitress was absolutely fine with it. I definitely recommend Gaetano's! The free parking lot in the back is an added bonus.“
“Amazing experience party of 10 MacKenzie our server and entire team were amazing food was so delicious all out at same time and atmosphere was perfect. We are recommending this dining destination to everyone FABULOUS Thank you for an outstanding experience.“
“This past Saturday, we went to the Drag brunch at Ciao. It was our first time at this restaurant and it certainly did not disappoint! The restaurant has friendly staff who are kind and very attentive. We also met one of the owners who is so nice and wants to make sure all customers are enjoying themselves. The food was delicious and the cocktails were a true craft. They are absolutely beautiful and taste delicious too. We had the banana soufflé, tiramisu pancakes, and fico pizza. We had tried the ooooo bae and mango dragon drinks. We cannot wait to come back!“
“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!!!“
“We went here for my birthday dinner on a Monday. We sat at the bar booth. This place was the perfect spot and I will undoubtedly be returning. The owner curates a perfect little safe haven for guests. The music was phenomenal, service outstanding, food to die for, drinks exquisite, and atmosphere classy. My new go to Italian. For apps we got the arancini (must try), wagyu carpaccio (must try), melanzane fritti, for dinner arugula salad, tagliatelle alla genovese (must try), burrata ravioli (must try), and for dessert the apple filled doughnuts (must try). It will be so unbelievably hard for me to return and not order the same exact menu items but I also can’t wait to sample every inch of this menu.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“We stopped in from Indiana based off Google reviews in an attempt to find a good seafood meal. This place did NOT disappoint!!! In fact, potentially ruined us for all seafood moving forward as there is literally nothing negative to say!!! Victor and his family have a wonderful "hidden" gem here! My husband and I placed our order, and Victor came to notify us that his father was on his way from the boats with lobster, and there would be a wait, maybe 15 minutes. Had he not told us, we would have never noticed, as we were more than preoccupied by the amazing calamari, salad and fresh baked bread. The seafood stuffed lobster was mind blowingly delicious, prepared to absolute perfection! Literally one of the best meals we have ever experienced. Will definitely be coming back next time we're in Boston!“
“Debbie and the entire cooking staff are absolutely phenomenal. Hands downs the best Italian food eatery in Massachusetts. I have visited them all and no one’s red sauce, or Alfredo sauce can compare. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Better than any place in the north end. Do yourself a favor and get any dish from this fine establishment you can Thank me later.“
“Alfredo's, a quaint haven for pizza enthusiasts, proved to be an unexpected delight during a casual lunch with my teacher colleagues amid a professional development day. The aroma of freshly baked dough and tantalizing toppings greeted us as we stepped into this unassuming pizzeria, setting the stage for a memorable culinary experience.The star of the show at Alfredo's was undeniably their pizza. Each slice was a canvas of culinary craftsmanship, boasting a perfect marriage of flavors and textures. The crust, a harmonious blend of crispy and chewy, served as the ideal foundation for the symphony of toppings that followed. From the classic Margherita to inventive combinations like prosciutto and arugula, Alfredo's offered a diverse selection to suit every palate.What truly set Alfredo's apart was the generous portion size. The slices were not merely slices; they were formidable wedges of pizza artistry. As a group of hungry educators, we appreciated the hearty servings that left us satisfied and fueled for the remainder of our professional development day. The sheer size of the slices also made sharing a communal and enjoyable experience, fostering a sense of camaraderie among us.The toppings were fresh and vibrant, a testament to Alfredo's commitment to quality ingredients. The tomato sauce, a crucial element in any pizza, exuded a robust, homemade flavor that hinted at a secret family recipe. Cheese enthusiasts would revel in the gooey, perfectly melted mozzarella that adorned each slice, creating a gooey, savory masterpiece.The ambiance at Alfredo's was cozy and unpretentious, reminiscent of a neighborhood pizzeria where locals gather for good food and conversation. The staff was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive dining experience. Despite the bustling lunch hour, our orders were promptly taken, and the pizza arrived at our table piping hot—a true testament to Alfredo's commitment to customer satisfaction.While pizza was undeniably the star of the show, Alfredo's did not neglect other essentials. The beverage selection, though simple, complemented the meal perfectly. Refreshing sodas and crisp iced tea provided a delightful contrast to the richness of the pizza. The dessert options were limited but satisfying, offering a sweet conclusion to our savory feast.In terms of affordability, Alfredo's proved to be a reasonable choice for a quick lunch. The combination of ample portions and high-quality ingredients made the pricing justified, aligning with the overall value the establishment offered.In conclusion, Alfredo's is a hidden gem for pizza enthusiasts seeking a delectable and satisfying dining experience. Whether you're a local looking for a new favorite spot or a visitor in search of a memorable meal, Alfredo's delivers on its promise of delicious, generously portioned pizza. As my colleagues and I left the pizzeria with content smiles and satiated appetites, we couldn't help but plan our return to Alfredo's—an establishment that has certainly earned its place among the top pizza joints in town.“
“Everyone has been raving about this place so while I was getting a sticker across the street I went in and got a small Italian. It is very hard to get a real Italian Sub anymore. This sandwich was amazing and their bread tasted very good. I ate half of it there and took the other half home. While I was eating the owner gave me a small piece of Sicilian pizza and a meatball to try out! They make their own meatballs. Both were great. I can't wait to go back and I will definitely be ordering take out from them.Parking: There are a few spots in front. The parking lot is behind the building.“
“The company I work for used Home Town Pizza for a company lunch and the food was so good I decided to call and plan a lunch for my own team. The owner right away took care of me and after giving a budget and an idea of what I was looking for, he made it made it happen and made the process super easy for me. Kept in touch with me, offered a variety of options, the food got delivered on time, checked in to make sure we liked the food and that we had enough, and most importantly, everything looked great, was delicious and the team was happy. I definitely recommend Home Town Pizza and will be using their services again. Thank you again for being so attentive, you did not disappoint!“
“As someone who worked at Angelina's in high school as my first job, I still love coming here for dinner as it has a family atmosphere and delicious food. The martinis are the cheapest in Tewksbury but they don't cheap out on the liquor. I highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious Italian food at reasonable Prices“
“My first time at Bobby C’s and it was delightful. I’ve been living around the corner for a while but I never checked Bobby C’s before and I regret it so badly. The mussels in white wine and garlic sauce was something unexplainable, calamari perfectly fried to keep the tenderness, chicken parmigiana and the stuffed chicken breast was unreal. All unbelievably delicious and flavorful. The drinks were a must, and the big surprise was the to go dessert we took home, we were LITERALLY OMG at every bite. I regret not ask our server’s but if you go there and see this sweet lady with gray short hair and a bright smile, she is the one. She said that the desserts were backed by her and she gave us some biscuits to our little baby pug. Bobby C’s is a gem and it’s been a very long since the last time I felt motivated to write a review but they deserve 10 stars for every second we spent there.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“
“OMG, The italian sub is full and I mean full of top quality meats. If you order a large you can not finish it in 1 sitting. I always thought New Deal in Revere set the bar on Italian subs but Anthonys takes the prize on this one. PS. I heard the eggplant parm sub is also the best you ever had! Worth the drive from any where!“
“Very surprised and the quantity of the meal since the prices are so reasonable. It was a lot of food. The fig salad and veal saltimbocca were amazing. The veal was thick and the prosciutto in the fig and goat cheese salad was in large fresh pieces. Tried the tiramisu and espresso martinis. Both were yummy. Food was served very fast. Still on our salads when our mains came. My husband ordered the veal stack. It was amazing as the veal was grilled and rested on a bed of greens bordered by small roasted potatoes. We will definitely be returning!“
“I hosted a Birthday party of approximately 25ppl. I was in search of catered/trays of Italian food and everyone kept recommending Old Tyme. I had to give it a try. The recommendations were spot on and did not disappoint. I ordered trays of; Shrimp Scampi, Meatballs, Chicken Parm, Sausage Peppers & Potates, Baked Ziti and a salad. All were a hit. The Chicken Parm and Sausage Peppers and Potatoes were the first to go and fan favorites. I would definitely recommend this place and use them for another party. I am ashamed that being a life-long Lynner this is my first time trying Old Tyme BUT it won’t be my last time!!!Thank You for the delicious food!“
“This is the kind of place you feel great when you walk through the door. Not fancy outside, but walk in and the place was hopping. Great food at reasonable prices and you won't leave hungry. My wife had the Fried Haddock Sandwich which has a great crispy breading and is perfectly fried (and huge). I had the French Onion Soup to start and the Marinated Steak Tips with rice. Both were great and the tips were cooked a perfect medium rare. The pour of the house Chardonay was generous and was tasty. The one negative (not enough to knock off a star) for me was the draft beer choices as there are no local craft beers to choose from, but a 20 oz Sam Adams for $5.50 makes up for it.Not on US1 but still pretty easy to get to. Will be back as the menu choices are extensive and want to try them all.“
“Entered this place on Friday night and took a seat at the bar. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the bartender promptly welcomed us, acknowledging that she was a bit overwhelmed but assured us she would attend to us as soon as possible. Despite a potential shortage of staff, the bartender remained friendly and attentive, and the food exceeded expectations. I would strongly recommend this place!“
“I recently went to dine at Sam’s Kitchen and everything from the food, atmosphere and service was excellent! I usually don’t take the time to write reviews, but wanted to do so as to whomever reads this review won’t hesitate to check out Sam’s Kitchen as I did! You won’t regret it and when you do you will undoubtedly return!“
“We go to Nella's Pizza at least once a week. It's my kid's favorite pizza place. They are by far my favorite non-wood burning stove pizza place. Everyone is extremely friendly and I've never had bad service from them. During the summer they also sell Gelato which is a nice treat on a hot day.“
“The price/quality ratio is great, very friendly but professional staff. Quality live bands Friday and Saturday nights, $10 cover charge. Lisa Love Experience, the WildFire Band, The Far are some of the bands I have seen there, and they have a good size dance floor too. The kitchen closes and live music starts at 9pm. I definitely suggest making a reservation and being there early enough if you plan to eat or you don't want to stand up all night. Lounge is the perfect place to hang out with friends on a weekend night, or you can have a family dinner in the dining room but not a place for a romantic first date.“
“Another great collab with Visit North of Boston , this time to Davio's Lynnfield .That tuna was AMAZING, table side cheese grating is a must, steak was super tender and look at all those desserts. And now the Affogato is the new trend, and I am on board.More to come...Featured:Davio’s MeatballsTuna Tartare, Avocado, Citrus Ponzu, Davio’s Herb Pasta ChipsSampler of Spring Rolls — One of Each Roll Chicken Parm, Philly Cheese Steak and Buffalo.8 oz 55 Day Prime Aged Strip Steak with David Bieber’s Crispy Onion RingsAffogato — Chocolate, Hazelnut Gelato, Chocolate, Caramel, Hazelnut BiscottiBaked Alaska – Red Velvet Cake, Strawberry Gelato, Cream Cheese, Berry Coulis“
“Fabulous neighborhood bar with really great food. Or should I say fabulous restaurant, with a really great bar. Either way, a fantastic place to visit. Side note, although terrific, the Yukon mashed potatoes have bacon and its not mentioned on the menu. If you have a food allergy, be sure to ask.“
“Such a great experience, our server Jenn could not have been more accommodating or friendly! Highly recommend the Tuscan wings and the Melanzana pizza pizza, wow! You won't regret it. We will be back, regularly. Also great coloring books and crayons which with our kids goes a LONG way!“
“I had my daughter's 30th birthday party at Victors on Broadway yesterday (1/27/2024) at 2pm. We had the place to ourselves for over 2.5 hrs; with a party of 15 people, that was great! Our food was amazing! Everyone loved their food, with no complaints at all! The meatballs and fresh extra filled raviolis were the best ever!! Service was great! Our waitress, Cheryl, was very friendly, very helpful and very hard working to keep us all happy. The place is a little restaurant tucked in a plaza, but don't be fooled, it is big on flavor!! I highly recommend this place!! Great Italian food!!! ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️“
“I dined here with my husband, brother-in-law and sister-in-law on Sunday evening. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and I must say we were all so pleased with the outstanding service we received from our waiter, Chris. He was fantastic from start to finish. Friendly, engaging, attentive and went beyond what we expected and hoped for. He really made the evening special for us. All of the food was prepared perfectly and was of great quality. I've been to this restaurant 3 times. The first time was great. The second time was a very bad experience for me and I really didn't want to return but this was where everyone wanted to go and I'm so glad I agreed to give it another try. Chris was the best as was everything else. Thank you, Chris, for a wonderful evening and experience.“
“Raul is AMAZING!! super attentive and gets exactly what you want even if it’s not on the menu! ask for him the next time you’re in. we’re regulars?Kid-friendliness: came in with 2 two year olds— they were super accomadating. thank you!“
“We went here on Valentine's Day for dinner. Food was amazing! For an appetizer, we had fried calamari with hot peppers. For the main course, I ordered Pasta Gamberi with Shrimp and hubby enjoyed Chicken Cacciatore. For a drink, I enjoyed an espresso martini. I enjoyed a Pistachio Ricotta Cake. Highly recommend and would definitely go back!“
“1st time visit certainly not the last Fresh hot rolls smaller than bertucci but you can have more drinks all good with average pricing although not listed Fried calamari light and tender comes with tomato sauce to dip great flavor Veal Oscar was delish Braciole special was great will be on menu next week as a standard“
“I attended a birthday party at A Tavola on Saturday night and experienced a delicious meal.The service ,as always,was attentive to every detail from cocktails to cake and cannoli. The appetizers included Roasted Egglpant,Speck,Lobster Bisque,and Insalata. That was followed by a choice of (my favorite)Parmesan Ravioli, Ribeye, Swordfish, or Ragu Bolognese. And for the partygoers that still had room...dessert consisted of Birthday cake, Cannoli and cookies! I would highly recommend A Tavola and all it has to offer for your next birthday/holiday party!“
“We tried this Edifer Pizza last night. We ordered two small pizzas and a chicken burrito - takeout. We were happy with our order. The burrito was solid, and I liked the hot sauce / salsa that came on the side. The pizza had a crisp crust and was very cheesy. Online ordering with Toast was super easy, as I use that for other local restaurants and already had an account. The staff was friendly. We will go again.“
“Good to see this small gem of a restaurant made it through COVID. Family run. Tucked away in a small strip mall. Unusual menu of Italian and authentic Argentinian dishes (my wife and I have been to Argentina). We all started with Empanadas, choice of 6 kinds. Two are sufficient for most people. Choice of baked or fried (we chose baked). Very good. My wife had the Canelones ala Bechamel (stuffed crepes). Very good. My son went for the Salmone alla Jesica (cheese stuffed salmon). Very good as well. I had classic Veal Florintina. Again very good, but too large a serving. Unusual for us, we went for dessert. My son tried the Copa Stracciatella (a chocolate chip gelato), my wife the dulce de leche Flan, and I had the Connoli. Excellent. Extensive wine list. Bottled beer only with an interesting Argentinian beer. Good service.“
“We hosted a birthday party for my daughter at Rosario's and they did an exceptional job. The event manage, Nicole, was thorough and thoughtful and helped us create a memorable evening. She thought of everything. The food was excellent (the calzones and calamari were especially delicious) and the wait staff was beyond helpful. We cannot wait to go back. Thank you!!“
“Overall a nice dining experience. Food and Service was top notch. I know it is tough on management but the only drawback was a large, extremely loud, party of around 10 people who were more suited for the pub than a fine dining restaurant and they disturbed some of the guests.“
