36 Best Italian Restaurants near Norwell

“I had dinner at Trattoria San Pietro for the first time with a friend, and it was an excellent experience. We started with the stuffed peppers and mussels, both of which were flavorful and perfectly prepared. For our main courses, I had the Chicken Marsala, while my friend opted for the veal chop—both dishes were absolutely delicious. We finished off the meal with their cheesecake for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending.

The service from Orlaith was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“The hubby wanted to take me to lunch for my upcoming birthday..for our age and for our wallet we always go to lunch vs dinner...we are now already home with the pups in our jammies..so great...now as a self proclaimed foodie, I have wanted to try the food at Alma Nove at the Hingham Shipyard for many years...I am also a huge Wahlbergers show fan...adored their mom Alma on the show and her pal Phyllis...the show is so much fun..binge it if you haven't seen it..anyway...the weather today didn't look too spectacular for a waterfront restaurant but the blue skies showed themselves as we were eating inside...such a terrific location..the shipyard has been revitalized in the last 15 years or so...lots of shopping and dining destinations including the original Wahlbergers Burger Joint...I love this stuff...Dave is like ok whatever...but our experience was lovely..I will say however that my husband and I don't quite fit in the Hingham vibe...and it has a vibe..no shade but it kind of carries an air about it...the people I mean...lol...but we ignored all that and for sure enjoyed lunch..even Dave said how delicious it all was...our server...nice..we typically enjoy banter with our servers...he wasn't about that...all business and he gave us excellent service..but I do have the sense that more than likely the staff has high hopes of gaining maybe a walk on role on Blood Bloods with Donnie or maybe a handshake from Marky Mark when he comes through from time to time...hope for them it happens..fingers crossed...😉..about the food...great bread..seemed homemade but simple..fresh..served with butter that had black specks on it..turns out it was a black salt..interesting..a few drafts for Dave from Mayflower Brewery in nearby Plymouth and I had a lovely Pinot Noir...bottled water on the table..big fan of that..I ordered the Pan Seared Shrimp and Scallops served over a sweet potato risotto , topped with haricot verts(fancy greenbeans), toasted marcona almonds and truffle honey and my date had the Butternut squash Tortellacci with pan seared chicken topped with sage brown butter sauce, pecorino romano, apple cider gastrique and fried sage and chives..wow..we are styling here in the Shipyard...every bite was spot on and a perfect serving for lunch..we enjoyed all of it..dessert..well.of course..they have an in house pastry chef so that's a given for me..chose the Banana Bourbon Bread Pudding..when he returned he also brought a small chocolate dessert..like cake in a jar with whipped cream and a candle...he said they heard someone was celebrating a bday...we never said it so all I can figure is I posted that we were there for my bday and had tagged the restaurant...great social media connection if that was the case...we shared them and they were fabulous...took some photos around the place..ran into folks the hubby knew from Hull..absolutely highly recommend Alma Nove..those that aren't familiar with the background. ..The famous Wahlberg Brothers Donnie and Mark have a brother Paul who is the chef and owner of Alma Nove..named for their precious mom Alma and Nove in Italian means nine..there were 9 Walhberg kids..5 stars from me for Alma Nove.. Open daily for lunch and dinner. .I believe they have live music on Sundays and in the nice weather their outside patio overlooks Hingham Bay...a must try❤️ Mark has famously said their brother Paul is the most talented in the family...I believe that is spot on...“

“Great service! Good atmosphere. Loved the food! ❤️“

“Delicious menu items.. the pear salad is delicious and a fabulous starter to share. I had the swordfish over the lobster succotash and it was fantastic.. the succotash alone would be a delight! Highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back. We ended with the flourless chocolate cake and it was perfect“

“Three of us went there Friday night… in spite of the place being mobbed… our waiter was very attentive… the food was outstanding!! This is my 5th time here… and I will be back!! Try the short ribs, they do not disappoint! We were all thrilled with our meal choices! Bon appetite!“

“A tried and true for many years. We drive 40 minutes to Polcari's when we get a craving. We love the caesar pizza (don't knock it!) and seafood never disappoints. It does get really busy and usually there is a wait if you show up at prime dinner time. They usually have specials. Theres a large bar area with a couple bar tenders which is great if you have only 2 people and don't want to wait for a table. Parking can get tricky, the front lot is tight.“

“Food is phenomenal!! I eat there twice a month and NEVER had a bad meal. Huge portions! Waitstaff are the best in the business. Martinis are delicious. Don’t take the ride to the North End Mezzo Mare compares to the North End without the ride“

“I finally tried here last night and was not disappointed! I'm always hesitant to try new places as we are picky, (especially with Italian food) but everything was great! The place was so chic and beautiful. the apps, drinks, dinner, and dessert were all delicious. our waiter was beyond friendly and attentive. we will definitely be back!“

“My first time dining here, not my last. Everything was piping hot and delicious!!!“

“Food and and service is always spectacular!“

“One of our favorite Italian restaurants in the South Shore is Mia Regazza in Marshfield. The restaurant is spacious, featuring a bar, dining rooms, and outdoor seating during the summer. The service is friendly and professional, and the dining rooms maintain a pleasant noise level. The food is excellent, with the chicken Parmesan being a standout dish. Parking can be challenging during dinner hours, so it's recommended to arrive a bit early. It is definitely recommended.“

“I’m from the NJ/NY area but have lived in MA for a few years. Other than 1 other place. I can’t find any good pizza.Recently I’ve gone to Comella’s’ a few times on my lunch break. They sell Sicilian pizza by the slice and it’s really good. The place has a cool look , has a bar area and everyone there is always very friendly. I recently tried their regular pizza, not Sicilian. And it was amazingly good. It’s probably the best pizza I’ve had in this area in over eight years. I will definitely be ordering that again.

Parking: Always plenty of free parking.“

“Incredible pizza! Great eggplant Parm. The Short ribs are amazing. Plus the staff are super attentive and friendly. Love this place!“

“They lost a customer!! We ordered take out 2 weeks ago on Friday night, Caesar salad with chicken, chicken Alfredo, and chicken broccoli Alfredo. We picked up the food within 30 minutes, the time we were quoted when picking up and live about 10 minutes away, let just say it was one of the worst take out meals we have had. Immediately after we started eating I called and spoke to the manager, the salad was watery and croutons were mushy, the chicken Alfredo was cold, the Parmesan wasn't melted! The food tasted like it a day old and microwaved! The manager took all my info and stated she would call me back after dinner service, never heard from her. Saturday I called back after not hearing, the same manager answered apologizing it was late when she finished dinner service but the owner was out of town and would call me back during the week, ok no problem. Late Monday I get a voicemail from the owners wife, working in customer service I was appalled by the voicemail. She stated that croutons do get soggy if you don't eat the salad right away and to order the dressing on the side next time. And that Alfredo just separates if you don't eat right away, suggesting I don't let it sit to room temperature before serving. I immediately called her back and explained I picked up the order and called within 40 minutes of placing the order, she stated that wasn't explained to me. She continued to tell me, speaking to someone in the background I have never heard this many complaints before. She proceeded to ask me what I wanted her to do about it, she stated she needed to talk to her husband because they don't just refund someone because they complain... I proceeded to tell her I had pictures if she was interested. I texted her the pictures and she told me she had to speak to her husband and would call me back... over a week later no call back...“

“Decided to try Evviva in Hanover! Well I was very surprised. Got seated by a hostess with a smiling face. The waitress Hannah was full of suggestions with great service. We ordered pizza and short ribs. The pizza was like I was in the North End of Boston. Short ribs were extremely moist and tender. The best I’ve had in a long time. The manager Dave came to the table to make sure our food was as we expected. Hanna checked on us as well. The portions were good actually more than we can eat. The desserts were fresh and delicious. I can’t say enough about Evviva in Hanover, Ma and plan on dining at Evviva more often.“

“Second time stopping in for late lunch. Ample serving size, fresh and delicious. Small interior but worth the wait if busy. Mary and wait staff are friendly and will always accommodate. Soup, sandwiches or plated dinner options along with beer and wine selections. Comfortable and welcoming I recommend giving 5 So Main a visit.“

“I had a salad, and my daughter had a burger and fries. I feel like you can't really mess up a salad, but you can mess up fries. That's what happened to my daughter's meal.

We ordered for pickup and when it was time to eat. My toddler struggled to eat the fries, they were so overcooked and hard for her to chew.

Everything else was good, though. I just assumed we caught the line cooks on a bad day. But... Who knows?“

“Went with my daughter to celebrate birthdays during November. The Christmas display was so beautiful, it was such a fun way to kick off the Christmas Season!! We were seated right away, our Server was fantastic, she checked in frequently making sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, we had the Chicken Marsala and the Chicken Parm, and a couple Espresso Martinis. It was a wonderful evening!!“

“Wicked Good Food! It’s the first time ordering from here. I’m always skeptical of 1st tries because I’m VERY picky about pizza. I got a small veggie pizza and it was awesome! Their sauce is good and they’re super generous with the toppings and cheese! Also tried the buffalo tenders, omg…wicked good! They’re not all dripping with buffalo sauce, they’re the exact right amount of buffalo-ey, but in a dry way, and with perfect crunchiness! I almost kinda want a part time job here in case they have employee discounts ‼️“

“Everything is delicious! Huge Portions Friendly Staff A++++“

“The best pizza in Pembroke and great customer service“

“I liked it. The food and service were fine.

It's a big restaurant and lounge. The location is convenient. There was plenty of parking.

We got there at 4pm and had a booth. They make sure you are very cool with their AC.

Service was quick and the waitress was kind and helpful. Food was quick to be served.

The salad is pretty basic: iceberg lettuce, a couple of cherry tomatoes and slices of cucumber, two heaping tablespoon of black olives and a little spring mix lettuce (to make it fancy?).

The tortellini soup was good but could use a little bit of vegetables.

The lasagna, homemade pasta and raviolis tasted a little bland but good. The kitchen was kind enough to split the plate but it felt like the raviolis were kind of thrown into the bowl and sauce was put over it.

The washroom was big, clean and well supplied. There was a big accessible stall.

They had high chairs and lots of small kids enjoyed their meals.“

“We have not eaten inside yet but will be back to do so in the very near future.

We ordered take out from here yesterday and the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had placed a previous order with another restaurant for catering and they notified us less than 2 hours before our food was supposed to be ready that they would not be able to fulfill our order. We called about 8 different places with no luck and then called Mamma Mia's. The staff was able to shift some things around and fit our order for several takeout trays in without any issues at all. The food was even ready early dispite the limited preptime they were given. We ordered the chicken broccoli ziti and the baked ziti and both were outstanding. The homemade meatballs in the baked ziti are some of the best I've ever had. Portion sizes were excellent and the prices were incredibly reasonable (especially for the quality of the food)

Mamma Mia's is our new favorite and will be our go to from now on.

Put them at the top of your list and give them a try as soon as you can.“

“Absolutely amazing staff. We ordered lunch from here today and we asked for my sandwich with burnt like burnt burnt bacon. (Pregnancy at its finest) And you guys 110% nailed it and made me the perfect sandwich. I haven’t had any other restaurant even come close to actually cooking the bacon how I like it. I just wanted to say thank you! ❤️“

“a great cheese pizza. been looking to find a pizza like this,good sauce. good cheese. I'll be back“

“I stopped on my way home for a couple of pizzas and an appetizer. As usual, they got our special order pizza right and done perfectly. We have been many times to this Bertucci's and have always been satisfied with either dine in or carry out. The staff is always accommodating and pleasant. We will be back!!“

“Cant speak in the restaurant as a place to dine in, but I got doordash from this place. One topping was allowed. food was excellent. perfect sauce. perfect cheese, crust is super crisp and crunchy. asked if the kitchen staff could throw some pepperonis on my sausage pizza and then did. Absolute Legends for that. Love a kitchen staff that cares ab the food that goes out“

“What do we recommend? Pretty much everything. Yes, it may take a while for your order to be ready, so order it earlier, and pick it up at the time you select. It'll be ready on time and will be worth it. Chris and his crew are outstanding and the only difficult thing is not eating the entire pizza on the way home.“

“Great food and good people. Can't go wrong with the subs and the fries best in town. Probably a few towns honestly.

Kid-friendliness: They treat kids like kids. Polite and friendly. In fact I'm pretty sure they know my whole family.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Awesome food and great service. Try the hot honey pepperoni slice. Looks like a piece of art taste like a piece of Heaven!“

“Absolutely the best! Kindest family owners, most delicious food and great catering menu!“
