I will start by saying that our server Nick was awesome, the food and dessert amazing. My first issue is the host staff. They could use a personality. We go to Danielle's on special occasions and our reservations are usually early so when we arrive at the restaurant, it is usually fairly empty. But for some reason we always have to wait to be seated (they are getting our table ready). Our table was located near the entrance to their glass enclosed sun room. Every time the door opened for the waitstaff to enter there we got hit with a big swoosh of wind that actually blew away the menus on our table. The owner needs to address this issue at that table as it leads to an annoying issue everything the door opens.

The food was delicious. we ate on the veranda, which was decorated with little lights. Very pretty. Our waitress was attentive without being hovering. Desserts were very good but overpriced. Overall a great dinner.

Exceptional experience. Excellent food, superb service. Not rushed. Definitely a place to go.

We really enjoyed our recent and first visit. The food was delicious, and the service was very good. Highly recommend a visit. It's a little on the higher end of what we normally spend out but definitely worth a visit for a special occasion. Will definitely be back!

Very Disappointing Experience We booked a reservation at Daniella's in Peabody a month in advance for a birthday celebration. Despite their policy stating reservations are limited to two hours, our 8 PM table wasn't ready, and we ended up standing for over 30 minutes with no explanation. No one on staff could tell us what was happening, and the manager was clearly avoiding us rather than addressing the issue. The hostesses seemed very young and untrained, which only added to the chaos. For a restaurant that markets itself as high-end, the lack of professionalism was shocking. They offered only a $20 discount for a small slice of cake, which didn't make up for a ruined birthday night. We won't be returning and will be sharing our experience with others.

second time to Daniela's. The vibe, atmosphere and staff were excellent and the food is high quality and timed perfectly for a dinner with friends.

I had the tuscan (or was it the Mediterranean) sales of delicious perfectly roasted vegetables. Ordinarily salads like this from other places do the veggies “tender crisp” with a strong emphasis on crisp where the veggies are only 10 degrees past raw. These were perfect.

My husband and I went for dinner last evening. We were not expecting much, having been to Daniela’s about 4 years ago. We we blown out of the water. I had the Italian Wedding soup. ( a garlicky, bone broth with bright fresh vegetables, two very large meatballs and light on the pasta. Side of the best bread perfect for dipping ing the soup. My husband had a Tuscan salad the was so beautiful it was a shame he had to ruin the presentation to eat it. The salad had the most tender steak , cooked to perfection. Very thinly sliced , breaded and fried eggplant. Enormous artichoke hearts, spinach, roasted tomatoes, drizzled in a light balsamic dressing. We ordered take outagain the next night. Now the deserts!!!!!!! You have to see them to believe them. Anyway, don’t go so we can always get a table. Yes we are selfish

We had 8 people for dinner Friday evening. I requested the patio and our seating was great for a family get together. Nick, our waiter, was amazing! So friendly and considerate. He explained the menu patiently to our guests from out of town. He was responsive to our requests throughout the meal. Every meal was perfect, hot and well proportioned. Noise level was moderate but expected on a Friday night. Daniella's will always be our “go to” place for a great meal and outstanding guest experience!
We are so surprised by this restaurant.! The food was so delicious and amazing. The bartender “ Gianni “ was unbelievable with any drink we ask for, always on point with the martinis 🍸. The restaurant manager Reinaldo Burgos was walking around all the time make sure that everything went right and asking about anything. The appetizer was so delicious and the restaurant atmosphere was really great.!! Beautiful decorations, good parking lots, easy to get there and I will definitely recommend and be back for sure.!!

I had the chicken and broccoli and the truffle mashed and they were delicious!! For dessert I had the gelato. The salted caramel gelato was amazing!! This review is coming from an American Italian who has had the best Italian food growing up. And I just got back from Italy a month ago! The atmosphere is so sexy. Great for couples in love!!

Went on a Friday night which was maybe my mistake- I usually go to the café location...
The music was like club/retail music pounding with loud repetitive bass for the whole 2 hour dinner. Really was unusual to see an upscale place play that music, was expecting something softer for a more romantic atmosphere. The music was so horrible it ruined my night, and the service was not great. The other location is where I will stay in the future.

Amazing food, top tier service, beautiful restaurant. I traveled in from Canada and this was by far, the best and most memorable meal I had on my trip. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with salad, i will truly be travelling back for it! The flavours were out of this world along with amazing service from staff. 10/10 recommend this restaurant for every aspect!

I rarely write reviews but we recently ate at the Peabody location for my sons birthday. Service was incredibly slow and food was terrible. The waitress dropped off warm bottled water to the table and took 10 minutes until she appeared again to ask for ice. Caesar salad came out with no croutons or dressing on it. When a new one came it was the most flavorless salad i have ever had. Our entrees arrived approx 1 hour after the salad. My wife's pasta with garlic sauce was very bitter, a tell tale sign of burnt/overcooked garlic. Waitress almost nowhere to be found. I don’t complain much and the truth is if it wasn't my son’s birthday i would have complained a-lot more. We dine out frequently at nice places, this is not one of them. If your going for decor and ambiance then you will enjoy it. Just don’t look forward to a decent meal.
