29 Best Italian Restaurants in Worcester

“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.“

“We've been going to Via since they opened. The recent menu changes were disappointing. Our favorite menu items were gone. The Fonduta of Italian cheeses and the veal scallopine are no longer offered and the short ribs, although still very good, are served with tortellini now, which I don't think is an improvement. Also notable is the servers at the Worcester restaurant group restaurants all seem to be new and the team serving dynamic is not as it used to be, either. We were told that there is a new head Chef, but rather than adding new menu items, they seem to have just removed some of the best ones.“

“Attended bridal shower and it was perfect from beginning to end. Everyone complemented the food, service was excellent and all flowed so smoothly. Will be back to try out the restaurant!“

“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!!“

“Great dining experience, authentic Italian food and great service.“

“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner/welcome party upstairs at Nuovo in August of 2022 which included almost 100 people. We could not be happier with our choice!!! The food and drinks are excellent and the staff are so hard-working and friendly. The owners are phenomenal and genuinely care about the happiness and satisfaction of their guests. We discussed our vision for the evening with Loreta in advance and she sure did help us achieve it. We had our own bar and servers, as well as a solo live singer we hired who they were easily able to accommodate. Loreta was incredibly responsive, kind, helpful, and patient. My family and I have also had dinner here and we just can’t say enough about how wonderful our several experiences have been. We will absolutely make the trip to Worcester to go back. Huge thanks to Loreta and all the other amazing staff for helping us create beautiful memories. We would HIGHLY recommend Nuovo to anyone!!“

“Took my wife and daughter there for Mother's Day. My in-laws came as well. The food was excellent. The staff was friendly and made sure we had a great time. Thank you Dino's Restaurant for a wonderful experience!“

“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“

“best dang pizza I've ever eaten, and my friend brought it to me in Danville va from u guys.“

“fresh and good food absolutely delicious 😋 😍 👌“

“Service at the bar was great! Zuppa Toscana and steak gorgonzola Alfredo was delicious and filling. I took a majority of the entree home for leftovers. Strawberry limoncello margarita was yummy and filled to the rim (photo was taken after a few sips). It's a good reliable option for a chain.“

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

“Kenny made us a fabulous antipasto with great Italian meat and cheeses. Nice and fresh and even a bucket of homemade Italian dressing! Truly the Best ! Thank you Kenny“

“We were out of town and it was our 51st wedding anniversary. Finding a restaurant that was open on a Monday wasn't easy but Leo's turned out to be close to our hotel and the food was very good. We shared a special antipasto, he had fettuccine alfredo with chicken and I had eggplant stuffed with ricotta with linguine. Portions were large so we only finished half but took the leftovers to go. Service was slow but friendly. Most of the room was a bar and nearly all the tables were high tops because they had a large party coming in that used all the low tables, but they found a regular table and chairs for us (climbing onto a tall chair would have been difficult). The waitstaff wore shirts that said the restaurant has been there since 1910 so that's pretty impressive.“

“My husband and I sat at the bar. Bartender was great. Very attentive, great personality. Interacted with a few waitresses that were all very personable! Food was on point. We had classic calamari which was cooked perfect and was lightly battered. Very tasty. We both ordered the Nashville chicken tacos and they were amazing! Dessert drinks were delicious! Apple martini and skrewy White Russian. Highly recommend!!“

“If you LOVE a good diner you must try Boulevard!! We've been driving all day from SC and wanted something that wasn't fast food. Boulevard didn't disappoint!! We ordered the pasta fagioli, baked meatloaf, manicotti with meatball and sausage, and the GIANT Italian club. Everything was delicious just like Nonna would've made. The Club was superb - didn't even need condiments! Meatloaf and meatballs amazing. I can't wait to stop in again for breakfast and conversation with their super friendly staff! 5 stars“

“The food is amazing, the staff is lovely, and I cannot recommend this enough!!! Get the egg rolls you will not regret it!!!“

“Incredibly friendly chef/owner. Love the crust. It’s a joy to order from here.“

“Tried for the first time the other night- half potato skin half steak&cheese pizza- was thoroughly impressed! Very tasty, tender, seasoned steak and the crust was almost to good to give any piece to my begging dog (ultimately giving in and he approved). Price was right, called in and ready in the correct given time (20 minutes). This will now be our regular pizza place!“

“Been by this place so many times and never ordered, I live in the village so I guess I was hooked on village pizza and occasionally vernon st pizza, but since village has new owners everything has gone downhill, nasty nasty..So we tried this delightful pizzeria and we are hooked. Chicken parm with grilled chuck, marinara, and provolone cheese, absolutely DELICIOUS...fresh ingredients the proof is in the taste!We've had steak bombs, itialian, chicken bleu sandwiches,Pizza, Italian pasta dinners are overflowing delight!We're happy we tried it, no going back.And the people that work there are absolutely so very sweet.All around very happy.“

“For the price for one container is $22 is pretty expensive plus it’s extra charge if you want garlic naan. Personally, I would go buy Indian food elsewhere where it’s not as expensive for the portion size. Though the butter chicken was really good. We got the mild, which was the perfect creaminess and flavor. The chicken was tender as well. The goat curry was also delicious and definitely had a more meater fatty taste. The garlic naan is a good size and it was cooked not too dough or not too dry. The samosas were crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside filling and the sauce went well perfectly“

“I spent time trying to figure out how to review rhis place, first time and I'll give it an A+. oredered from grub hub and it was so fast!I was done eating suringnthe delivery window. I ordered cuz my kidsonwanred Chicken Parm, it was made from tenders but so delicious! cruspy tenders and the sauce was just right. I'll definitely order again.“

“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!!“
