The best part of this is well the customer service first and foremost. What’s a close second is the complimentary rolls with oil cheese and dried peppers. We were also lucky enough for the staff to bring us ricotta cheese balls on the house! Staff was super friendly with the kids also so that is always a plus.“

“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!!! 👍👍👍“

“Great service and fantastic food. It was Easter Sunday so very crowded so it was kind of loud but have gone here other times and it was much better. Easter Sunday Specials were amazing. The Lollipop Lamp chops with the Balsamic pearls were out of this world. My mother in law ate every last morsel of here lobster ravioli and sopped up the sauce with bread. Thanks to Danielle our server - great job.“

“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.“

“Gina and her manger Dolly are amazing!! Going way above and beyond what is expected of them. As always the food was fabulous!! My family comes here very frequently and have never had any issues. If I could give more then five stars I would.“

“I really enjoy their marinara sauce and fresh fettuccine.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!

“We went on a Friday and we sat ourselves, no hosts, Ten minutes later we were asked what we wanted to drink, Ginger ale and gave our orders, order apps ziti with Alfredo sauce, ziti and with meat sauce, Everything came at once including the drinks, and not once were we asked how everything was, or if we need anything. Will not go back“

“After living in Salem for a few years, I have no idea how we’ve never been to Bambolina before—but we finally fixed that mistake with Valentine's Day dinner, and wow, were we missing out! This cozy, locally owned spot serves up incredible wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas with a perfectly charred, airy crust. My wife went for the Black Truffle Pizza, an indulgent mix of ricotta, mozzarella, provolone, and pecorino, topped with delicate shavings of black truffle. Decadent, rich, and full of deep, earthy flavor—it was perfection. I had the Salmon Donburi Bowl, which was just as phenomenal. The pan-seared salmon was tender and flavorful, resting on fragrant jasmine rice with seasoned wakame, crisp cucumber, and spicy marinated mushrooms. The sesame ginger mirin gochujang sauce tied it all together beautifully—bold, savory, and just the right amount of heat. And then…dessert...oh my gods... The Chocolate Spuma was an absolute dream—silky dark chocolate mousse topped with cloud-like Chantilly cream. It was light yet intensely chocolatey, the kind of dessert that disappears way too fast but lingers in your memory. To top it all off, the service was next level—attentive, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. I forgot her name (sorry!) but she's one of the best servers we've ever had. Period. We left feeling full, happy, and already planning our next visit.“

“Amazing service! Great food and drinks! Antonio was AMAAAZZZING!!! He’s the best server ever!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice Mom & Pop style pizza ? restaurant on Rt.1 north of the fair grounds. We dined in and enjoyed a glass of wine and beer w a very tasty pepperoni pie. We could see that their carry out business was hopping from our table in the dining area. The service was friendly and attentive.

Kid-friendliness: Looks like a good place for a family or team get-together.“

“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.“

“It's a small town shop. Small town recipes, so you know the food is top-notch. Customer service and staff? Mint!But please, bring cash. My God. Bring. Cash. They do not take credit / debit. To all my fellow tourists, consider this a warning! The closest ATM is 2 buildings down the road and requires a debit card to be inserted onto the door of the building to have access. Normally, it's not a problem. But the door did not read my card. Had to try 4 different banks to get to an ATM. bring cash. I can not stress that enough.“

“Everything is superb. They do everything right. I love this place.“

“I love love, love Tony’s Italian restaurant! Being fortunate enough to live across the street from the business, I have thoroughly enjoyed many years of going to Tony’s. Food is totally delicious, and pizza unbelievably delicious! Family owned business, and they are absolutely lovely. I always feel right at home when I visit. I could go on and on, but I just had to say wonderful things about the whole family, and about the wonderful food that I have enjoyed & continue to enjoy ,at Tony’s restaurant. I continue to be fortunate enough to celebrate this great business!??“

“If you're searching for the best pizza in Peabody, MA, Frankie Slice is the perfect place to visit. This restaurant has been voted as the best pizzaera in Massachusetts, and it's worth trying. Not only do they have fantastic pizza, their roast beef sandwiches, chicken parmesan dinner, and meatballs with spaghetti are all mouth-watering. And if you have a sweet tooth, try their ice cream and gelato. I highly recommend visiting "Frankie Slice" - you'll not be disappointed! Try the Shrimp Scampi pizza.“

“Great place for a quick slice of pizza“

“Pretty solid. For the merunga1 review, the store's hours are incorrect. They close at 8:30pm. Odd to leave a 1 star review because of this.“

“My collegues and I order about 3 times a week for lunch. The food is high quality, hot, and always fresh and delicious! it's a must try place.“

“Man I love your pizza and all but I can’t see how 3 large pizzas 1 specialty comes out to $75. Delivery fee and specialty I get but $75!? Y’all got magical dough and cheese or something ? What’s the secret ingredient that cost so much for the sauce? Because pizza Ingredients are still pretty cheap…. hope that secret ingredient that cost so much gives me super powers….“

“Me and my husband visited Rizzos to day the service was great and the food was phenomenal!!“

“I really loveee this place!! By my experience this pizza was one of the greatest pizza I tasted in years. I been to different pizza places in Italy and this place is the most accurate place where they serve you pizza like in Italy. The sauce, the cheese and the size are perfect, as you can see by the picture… I ate three slices :).

On the other hand, the owner was one of the sweetest guy I know, he welcomed me with a smile and offered me the best service in the town. I fully recommend if you genuinely want to try Italian pizza!!“

“Got a steak and cheese and it was delicious“
