50 Best Italian Restaurants near Salem

“I cannot say enough good things about Antique Table. The food is amazing, and service is fabulous. Great atmosphere both indoors and outdoors, and tons of food & beverage options. There are so many dining choices in Salem, and we return here time after time. Classic Italian with some interesting additions mixed in, like the Chicken Miguel. The eggplant rollatini is the best I’ve ever had. Large portions and reasonable pricing. Generous pours on cocktails. Even in October, when the city is incredibly busy, the food and service remain top notch.“

“I haven’t been on top of my pizza game in some time. We have so many great places around. And this is my very first online review. But I hit up Renzos for a simple lg cheese. It was absolutely fantastic. One of the best I’ve had in years. Paper thin crust and the closest to the real Thatcher St. Regina I’ve had. And on top of that, the owner and son are tremendous guys. Talked Patriots football while I waited.“

“I love The Berry Tavern. It's has a great vibe. Lots of good menu options. The food and cocktails are delicious. The owners and staff are great as well; my favorite night is Thursday because of the music. 👍🏼“

“Everything about the store is on point! The homemade pastas that you bite into and your teeth feel that little firmness,😃, the flavors that your palate starts taking on, your brain instantly wants MORE! As you savor (and possibly moan a bit to loud lol) the incredible flavors of something as simple as carbonara, w/prosciutto, red onions & Romano cheese. Every visit, including take-out has been 💯% spot on! Mentioning take out, we recently dined outside, and watched the grubbers (grub hub) mad dashes in and out multiple times! We recognized at least 3 drivers, non stop pickup and drop orders, repeatedly! Thank you so much Little Store for your incredible hard work (when no one wants to work and think they should get everything free🤬🤬🤬) You are what America is built on! From the front of the house to last dish washed, you are all a generous team, so it appears from the outside. Great Job! P.S.Your freshness is duly noted!!! There are desserts, lemon mascarpone 🍰 cheesecake (can’t remember if it’s cake or cheesecake…red, red, wine..) Just stupid delicious at the end of a fantastic meal!! And I have had the chocolate torte or something like that…. 😱😱equally as good! I would just ROLL in them if it was acceptable…🤣🤣🤣so yummy!!! Thanks for letting me share my joy of The Little Store… and there legit hardworking staff!!! 👍👍👍“

“We wanted to have a few friends over and cook a nice meal for New Year's. I used my sauce and my meatballs, but Sabella's ravioli are outstanding. It was worth the trip down to Revere.
For the person who was personally hurt that it's on a busy street, Broadway has been a busy street in Revere for decades. It's not their fault. People go there to buy raviolis to cook at home, so rather than rating them poorly as a lunch stop, maybe do your homework next time?“

“I can only say that Old Tyme Italian is the best. The restaurant, the staff, the food all excellent. My family has had a few functions there and no complaints ever. We highly recommend it.“

“food is the best on the north shore. tom and Laura are great drivers and staff very friedly“

“Excellent service and food“

“Thanks for all you do to help my husbands veterans project each in year Beverly. Your food is delicious!“

“My son has special needs and we were treated with such kindness. I’m so thankful for the service provided and giving us a larger table to eat at so my son doesn’t get burnt. Heather is compassionate and made my heart smile! The food is beyond superb and there is no doubt that Logan and I will be back soon! ❤️“

“Order trays of food and a few puzzas for my sons party. Everything was fresh, perfectly wrapped up and ready when requested. To top it off everything was Delicious and everyone raved about the food! Highly reccomend.“

“My husbands family took out out to eat here. I had the steak tips and my husband had Ravioli's and Meatballs! We both enjoyed the meal! We each swapped out on each others dinner! So we both got the same thing basically! We will definitely be back! Rachel J Esposito“

“I only wish they had WiFi I took an uber and could not order one to go home. I had to have a family member call one for me. In this day and age when people want to be responsible they make it very hard😩“

“A comfortable, old-fashioned Italian restaurant with terrific food. The antipasto is high quality, with roasted peppers, prosciutto, soppresata, cheese, olives -- one of many perfect starters . The calamari was perfectly fried, with hot peppers fried in with them. Entrees cover all the basics and a few really good signature items, like the veal tower -- veal with little tomatoes and arugula in generous portions. Dining rooms are comfortable, a little noisy. Service good. I have dined here several times and not been disappointed.“

“Last night I had the pleasure of visiting Volo Craft Pizza in Swampscott, MA — and wow, what an experience! 🌊🍕 The ambiance right by the water is beautiful, with Boston’s skyline in the distance, and the service made us feel right at home. Owners Pina and Tony are so warm and personable — it truly feels like family when you’re there. Now, the food… absolutely incredible. Having grown up with New York City parents (and with my own background working in a pizza restaurant), I know good pizza when I taste it — and this was next-level. Their Detroit-style Double Trouble pizza with hot honey was out of this world. 🍯🔥 The Caesar salad with fresh-grated cheese was crisp and flavorful, and don’t even get me started on the cannolis with chocolate chips and lemon — pure heaven. 🍋🍫 I’d happily drive 35 minutes any day for this. The pizzas are clearly made with love, and I can’t wait to bring my parents back to try it. If you’re anywhere near the North Shore (or even if you’re not) — do yourself a favor and try Volo. Highly recommend! 🙌 #VoloCraftPizza #SwampscottMA #NorthShoreEats #PizzaLovers #DetroitStylePizza #BostonEats #FoodieFavorites“

“Screams old school Italian 🫶🤌“

“Unbelievable food, I am very picky about food, I was on the hunt to find a delicious chicken parm. Without a doubt if you have not been to this establishment. You have not had the best there is to offer. Huge portions cooked perfectly. Wife tried a pizza and true to form also amazing. Marco’s is a lock. Get there and enjoy the best authentic food you ever had.“

“I took my wife to Magia in Danvers on December 8, 2022. I have been patronizing many, many Italian restaurants in the area for many years. However, I can tell you that going to this one was an unbelievable experience. Here's how I would rate this Restaurant. Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Menu Choices: 10/10 What else can I say. I was greatly impressed with the service and the food. In passing, I mentioned, to the folks at the desk, that I was there for the first time, and it was my wife's birthday. What do you know, the server brought over a few Canoles with a lit candle. How considerate was that!!! My recommendation: Give this place a try. You will not regret it. If you have any special food requests, they are very accommodating. A truly wonderful group of people. By the way, they actually know how to make Veal Parisian correctly with exceptionally tender veal. Their Salmon is also great!! Give it a try. You won't regret it.“

“Dinner was amazing customer service was excellent!entertainment was outstanding!!! Will definitely return“

“This place is awesome and I get it 5 stars all around. The staff and the food are awesome. They are very fairly priced and have a great variety of delicious toppings. They have awesome cheese pepperoni or even ravioli pizza if you're up for it it is heavenly!! I have never had a bad piece of pizza here and I am delighted to write a good review that is the least I can do. Staff is so accommodating and polite very helpful and fast service and for diamond also if needed.I work locally doing HVAC and we come in here a lot and we recommend it to anybody who wants a great slice of pizza. This is one of the best Italian style pizzeria places in the area I highly recommend it to anybody.5 STAR EXPERIENCE, thank you Vesuvius you rock!!!!“

“Excellent meal, nice people, latin music, and they humored me using my limited Spanish. Muy sabrosa la comida! 5 stars.“

“Great atmosphere, the food was super delicious and full of flavors from the octopus app, tuna carpaccio, the pappardelle alla cinghiale and the dry aged Ribeye cooked perfect mid-Rare.
Great wine selection too especially the super toscan Gaja.
Excellent service!!!!!!
