46 Best Italian Restaurants near Northbridge

“I always have a great experience at Harry's! Best pizza and subs in the area! 😃“

“The server we had last night was the biggest jerk and should be fired. We left after being clearly discriminated by your staff. We’ve been coming here for years but will never be back after yesterday’s experience. Ricardo was a complete jerk and should not be in the restaurant business.“

“The food was amazing and my husband and I cannot wait to go back. We both had the beef tenderloin which was cooked to prefection with delicious sides to accompany the meal. The bread was mouthwatering and I could not resist a few pieces! We had the arancini to start and next time, I will order my own plate; I wanted more - no sharing again! I had the amazing carrot cake and my husband had the Godive chocolate cheesecake. I am not a cheesecake lover but ended up determined to order it next time; it was amazing and decadent beyond my expectation. I am planning on taking my daughter here when she visits in December; she will love. I want to try every dish; I plan on dining here loads of times:)“

“What a great Italian experience! One of Worcesters finest restaurants it has to offer.

VIA's location can easily be seen by its big golden lit up sign that can be seen at the highway. It is also on a street that is commonly known for it's restaurants in Worcester. The parking is good as long as you ate going after work hours and even if so there is street parking.

VIA's atmosphere feels authentic and modern Italian as it has dim lighting with candlelit atmosphere. This gives away to the brick and mortar style of the building which gives it more of a city Italian restaurant. The music was a bit all over the place from EDM to todays hits. Nothing vulgar but didn't set the mood properly. There was plenty of seating but understandable to have a reservation as the dining room (and outdoor 4 season porch) filled up very quickly. The booths were a bit small but can be moved for better adjustment. The bathrooms are in the kitchen walking past the fresh and housemade display of the gelato giving you a glimpse of what the kitchen is like.

The service was attentive and took care of every thing that made the experience that much better. Our server was friendly and didn't mind to have a small chat that wouldn't have impeded others experience. There was another server that went through and asked us if we needed things that our original server had already asked us. The servers were nice, respectable, and relatable.

Our drinks we had was the Old Fashioned Sweet Potato and the Raspberry Mojito. Both were good and not too strong so that the flavors came through nicely. The thing that made it a good experience for me was the asking of what bourbon I would like with my Old Fashioned. That is next level customer service without any additional cost for substitution.

The food we had was pretty good and worth going back again to try other items. We started off with the house made Ricotta with local honey. The ricotta was creamy, smooth, and easily spreadable. With a local dab of honey all on top of homemade bread toasted on one side made it perfect for a starter to the evening. The main course was pretty good also with the Chicken Parm and Chicken Piccata. The Chicken Parm had a perfect amount of sauce and cheese topping with the chicken itself being perfectly fried that the chicken was still moist. The Chicken Piccata was cooked all little to long and had a slight chew to it with the breading not being to present. The piccata sauce was not too buttery but didn't have to much lemon zest either. The sauce was good if you were able to get some from the bottom to have on the chicken. The capers and grape tomatoes are always a touch on the piccata that is needed. As for the noodles, they were fresh and tasted fantastic. For our dessert we had (of course) Tiramisu and Affagato. The Tiramisu was a good (little bit too much after dinner) portion. The lady fingers were not over soaked and the marscarpone was creamy. The coffee and rum flavors were very present throughout the dessert. As for the Affagato, 2 wonderful vanilla Gelato scoops with crumples of biscotti and with the Pirouline sticking out of the Gelato made the presentation amazing. With the espresso nice and warm and smells controlling the air around made a wonderful pour over the Gelato. The combination was nothing short of being a great affagato.

Overall, I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes and wines as VIA is what it means to have an Italian experience in the city of Worcester.“

“Great dining experience, authentic Italian food and great service.“

“Thanks to Live To Eat Food for the reminder to visit Nuovo Restaurant in Worcester. I hadn’t been back since around the time they opened—10+ years ago—& let me say, they did not disappoint. We arrived around 6 PM, & the place was buzzing with at least three Christmas parties going on, so we grabbed seats at the bar. We started with some excellent martinis, then moved on to appetizers (after the bread, of course). We had the fig–mascarpone stuffed phyllo dough & the best chicken lemon orzo soup—truly unmatched anywhere else in the city. For entrées, he had the lobster pappardelle special, & I went with pasta in vodka sauce with meatballs. We were completely stuffed but still couldn’t resist ordering the blueberry-crumble cheesecake to go. Despite how busy they were, the service was great, & everything we had was spot-on.“

“Great nice place. Good service , great food. Great gravy and fresh pasta. Nice bread too. Nice vino. Cabernet“

“I visited here December 4, 2023. I had a delicious scallop and haddock mix over fettacchini with a spicy sauce that was to rave about. Not sure when I will get to Worcester, MA again but I will definitely visit La Cuchina. As a bonus, my server was a gentle soul, Michael. Extremely attentive and generous with his time and suggestions. He is expecting his first child, so if you are so lucky to have him serve you, please be generous, as we all know the expense of a new child. Michael have a blessed day! -James Dalton“

“Dinner on Wednesday, chicken special was amazing. Dinner Thursday was the antipasto and pizza special! Best pizza I have had in awhile. The cheese was delicious and we ordered the Mama pizza, ricotta, eggplant, cheese, and meatball. We asked they add red sauce and they did. Both of us enjoyed it. Waitstaff both night were there every time you finished something, polite, attentive and it was a pleasure to see quick service. After COVID most restaurants don’t have enough help, not here, no waiting at all. Food was a 10 out of 10!!“

“I have been coming to Ziti’s for years and every time I go in for dinner, the food is always outstanding! Their chicken Parmesan and their eggplant Parmesan are so delicious and are always my go to there! Their tomato sauce is so good and it tastes like my Mom used to make! Whenever we had a family party we always ordered their catering - and it always got tons of compliments! We just had dinner there and ordered catering last week - everything was perfect!“

“The veal picatta is absolutely divine. Cooked perfectly. I also tried the homemade fettuccine with a pesto cream sauce. Amazing. So good. I love the way food is prepared at Calabria. The only complaint I have is the Italian bread. It takes gummy and without flavor.“

“Never disappoints! Always delicious. Feels like home.“

“Gia Ristorante Italiano Hubby & I had an amazing dinner last night at Gia's in Uxbridge! It was a last minute decision to go there, but so glad we did. It was a quiet night, cold outside, but inside they had a beautiful fire roaring, smelled so good. We both had amazing meals, waitress was very helpful, answering all our questions. They even made a few changes to a dish so my husband got exactly what he wanted. We will definitely be going there again soon! Highly recommend them for a nice Italian dinner 😋“

“Picked up a Bolognese pizza for takeout from Pizzeria Bruno in Sutton & wow — comfort food done right 🍕✨ A rich, slow-cooked meat sauce spread generously over a perfectly crisp base, bubbling mozzarella, & that unmistakable just-out-of-the-oven aroma that fills the car on the drive home. Every bite was hearty, savoury, & seriously satisfying — the kind of pizza that feels like a warm hug after a long day. Simple, indulgent, & absolutely worth the takeaway run. Sutton, you’re lucky to have this spot. 🤍🔥“

“Hi! I am a team manager for a youth hockey team. We were in town for a tournament and booked our team dinner here. The booking agent, Baylee, was so great through the entire booking process. When we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful to our party and provided great service the entire time we were there. We had food allergies in our party, nut, dairy, gluten in varying combinations. Everything went great, everyone could eat, and the food was excellent! The kitchen came up with a meal for our gluten and dairy free people, grilled chicken and broccoli, which was very good. My only bit of feedback is that it would be nice if GF pasta was an option. However, Sandra, Eddie, and Paulo were excellent to us! Even when Paulo brought a pitcher of water to our kid's table, he gladly poured the water for each of the kids when I asked him to, instead of leaving it there. I could see a big pitcher of water creating a problem on a table of 11 year olds. The whole experience was fun and the food was great. It was huge relief for me as a team manager looking to provide a relaxing dinner for our team and their parents on a weekend away from home!“

“Anzio’s did the catering for my wedding, I booked their food truck and added on some appetizers, and everything went beautifully. They worked with the venue to find the best place to put the truck while having the food inside so guests didn’t have to trek into the chilly October darkness to get pizza, and the food (that I tried anyway) was incredible. I would absolutely recommend them for events, especially one where a kitchen isn’t available on site.“

“Great service! Was busy but that didn’t hinder the attention and care we received! Very clean! Always a great meal here!“

“A very authentic and family friendly Italian Old fashioned store the owners and the staff are are all family , my Dad and I go there every time we're in Milford. We're OG Gumba's as it gets, and we're never disappointed? try the De Parma Sub it's just short of a trip to Italy, but try anything even there pie is a mouth full of Amore'Grazzi Amico Meie,Jimmy and Banjo PadulaFranklin, MA“

“I had the meatball sliders.... absolutely delicious! It has been forever since I've had an authentic Italian meatball....I will definitely look for them in the future!“

“Stopped on way home from RI very friendly staff and the pizza was awesome 😋“

“Although the wait for food at the Fairmont Farm yesterday was long (a huge crowd hit them all at once), our paninis and chili were great!“

“Always delicious meals, wonderful service and warm and inviting environment!“

“We just had our first meal here and I can't say enough good things! We both got the double smash burger, and it was crazy good! So juicy and delicious! The owner, Lisa, is delightful and spent time chatting with us while she had a moment. Excellent prices, perfect portions, and just plain outstanding food!! We will be back again and again!“

“We arrived early as we were attending a concert at the DCU Center. We were able to sit at a hightop near the fireplace-nice because of the warmth and also we were out the way. The bartender came by and asked if we were here for a show and what time did we hope to leave by - obviously they wanted to accommodate customers' needs. We had a lovely meal and enjoyed adult beverages and coffee. We left at the time we hoped. We discovered this restaurant last year and went back because we enjoyed our first experience. Highly recommend.“

“We visited the Olive Garden for lunch yesterday 11/15. We sat on the bar side and had the most incredible server, Stephanie! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and anticipated our every need. My husband’s beverage was low and she automatically brought a fresh refill. She was right there when our soup and pasta were near finished. I saw her doing this with each table she served. It was refreshing to have a great meal and a perfect server. We left with full stomachs and big smiles. We will definitely be back. Kudos to Stephanie for her great personality and attention to detail.“

“Food is always great and staff is very friendly and polite.“

“First visit to Belsito's Deli in Worcester! Opted for the Italian sandwich, which was enormous, & enjoyed the balsamic drizzle throughout. The bread was perfectly light & fluffy, & the meatballs were large & flavorful.“

“The food is amazing, the staff is lovely, and I cannot recommend this enough!!! Get the egg rolls you will not regret it!!!“

“Food was delicious“

“I don’t eat a lot of pizza but decided to splurge yesterday and it was a fantastic decision. Easily one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a very long while, maybe ever!“

“Absolutely NOT !!! We ordered our food before 3 other customers who came in to eat in like us . I ordered a chicken salad my husband ordered a cheeseburger sub waited 20 mins still no food but the other 3 customers got their food one had a pizza one had chicken finger dinner and one had a steak and cheese. All of which were as quick as our order but i believe a pizza and fried chicken wings should of taken longer then a cheeseburger 🍔“

“The service and food was wonderful. Very beautiful atmosphere. The only issue we had there tonight was very rude, loud obnoxious people at the next table. They were swearing loudly and young child nearby. Made is very difficult for conversation at our table. Told manager about it and nothing was done. Found that very disappointing.“

“If you LOVE a good diner you must try Boulevard!! We've been driving all day from SC and wanted something that wasn't fast food. Boulevard didn't disappoint!! We ordered the pasta fagioli, baked meatloaf, manicotti with meatball and sausage, and the GIANT Italian club. Everything was delicious just like Nonna would've made. The Club was superb - didn't even need condiments! Meatloaf and meatballs amazing. I can't wait to stop in again for breakfast and conversation with their super friendly staff! 5 stars“

“Excellent food! Wheat roll-ups are tasty and very generous portions. Friendly staff and delivery service is quick and reliable. Order once and you'll become a regular customer. - Jim Lucido“

“Garden pizza has been iconic for many many years in the Milford area. I would say they are absolutely No 1 best pizza And sub restaurant around! this is the place to go for lunch or order a pizza to be delivered for dinner at night. Their spaghetti is amazing. Their subs are amazing. Their pizza is amazing. Highly recommend PS you have to try the onion rings with the dip sauce!!!“

“Just wanted to come on and give a kudos to Upton House of Pizza after our experience last night. We were heading home exhausted from the waterpark and ordered a pickup order, which included a small GF pizza for my daughter. We picked it up, headed home and as we were pulling into the driveway my phone rang. The young kid at the counter called and frantically asked if we had eaten any of the pizza. I assured him we hadn’t yet and he said that he had separated it so well from the counter that another staff had put a regular pizza in the box he had pre-labeled thinking it was it (apparently, it was actually the free regular small pizza we got free with our order - that we didn’t know we were getting). He asked for our address and was at our door within 7 minutes. He even asked to see the other pizza to double check. I tried to tip him and he refused, saying “it’s not like we just forgot pepperoni or something, this was serious!” Thankfully my daughter is just intolerant and not celiac, but I appreciate this to no end 🥰 People make mistakes, it’s how they rectify them that shows their character! We will definitely continue to give them our business!“

“My “gym buddies “, who have become my very good friends went to lunch today at NY Pie in Westborough. We went there because they are a small business that supported the No Kings rally on October 18th and we wanted to show them our support. The pizza was absolutely delicious. If you are in the Westborough area, please patronize them and let them know you appreciate their support of our community.“

“Amazing food and such friendly service! Highly recommend!!!!“

“10/10! The staff make you feel like family and are truly the best!! They always go above and beyond and the food is amazing!!“
