Italian Restaurants near Fryeburg

“Great place with live music! We will be back!“

“We stopped in on a Monday evening in late October while visiting the North Conway area and had an excellent experience at Merlino’s Steak House. From start to finish, everything was spot on.

We were greeted by a friendly hostess, and our server Jaimie was right there to welcome us and guide us to a comfortable table on the second floor. The staff all worked well together, creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere throughout the evening.

We both ordered the Chicken Parmesan, which was perfectly cooked with great flavor and generous portions. My wife enjoyed a glass of Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio that paired perfectly with the meal. The food came out hot and fresh, and every bite was delicious.

I ordered the Apple Crisp for dessert, served warm with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. My wife must have mentioned it was my birthday because Jaimie added a candle, which was a thoughtful gesture that made the evening even better.

The quality and portion size made it well worth the price. Parking was convenient and the restaurant was easy to find.

This was our first visit to Merlino’s, but it definitely will not be our last. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.“
