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:)“

“Our first time to Arcos and were delighted to have Anthony & Christina as our bartenders. What a great time enjoying conversation with both, as well with Mark. Will definitely be back again soon.“

“My first visit was today. I ordered the veal parm pasta dinner and a side of toasted ravioli. Omg! Delicious. Called in the order for pick up. The place was hopping, service excellent and great vibe. I definitely will be coming back“

“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.“

“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!!“

“We had a wonderful experience here! The portions are very generous and everything tasted incredibly fresh. We tried fried calamari, shrimp cocktail, and their fresh made pasta was absolutely delicious. We finished with a blueberry lemon cake that was the perfect ending. Highly recommend!“

“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 😋“

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

“They've been around for a long time serving simple tasty reliable Italian food. It has that deli and cafeteria vibe. I always get the prosciutto and mozzarella Grindr. Huge sandwich enough for 2+. I love it when I see them take the whole prosciutto out of the fridge and slice onto the sandwich directly. Ask for extra oil and tomato.“

“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. 🤍🔥“

“We loved our outing to bertuccis this Sunday night. Our server Eddie, was very cooperative and patient with our group of 9 teenagers. He served us very well and was perfect on all of our entrees and appetizers. The atmosphere was warm and cozy and the restaurant was very clean. 10/10 would come again!“

“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 😋“

“Honestly delicious food here and great service! I was in the mood for spaghetti and meatballs while my partner got lasagna! It was really good! The salad was okay, didnt hit like it did when I went years ago. Breadsticks pretty good! Our waiter was really attentive and kind!“

“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 had seats at a corner table near the bar, the waitress came over to take drink order . We placed our app order when the drinks came. The grilled romaine salad was fabulous. We ordered dinner which came out hot and ready to eat. We all loved our meals. We had plenty to take home too. Love going there. Highly recommend Leo's!!“

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

“Best Diner in Worcester County by far. Favorite dish: the “Big Bully”. Standout item the “Italian toast.”“

“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“

“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!“

“Best Homemade Meatballs and Homemade Sauce on the Planet 💯❤️“

“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.“

“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!!“
