37 Best Italian Restaurants near Derry

“Such a friendly staff, we had an amazing meal!“

“Drove 50 minutes to meet friends we haven’t seen in a while, only to be told upon being seated we had only 90 minutes. All through meal an underlying sense of being rushed. No offer of dessert or dessert menu, just told someone was waiting for our table. Minutes later waiter started clearing glasses, silverware off table in front of us. Food was very good, too bad experience was“

“While at my mom’s Tuesday night cooking dinner, I noticed she had a container of Rig A Tony’s sauce in her freezer. I used it for our spaghetti, and it was absolutely deliciousssss! Last night, I couldn’t stop thinking about their chicken pot pie after seeing it on here, so I asked my hubby to swing by on his way home from work to see if they had any left. Luckily, they did! Three, to be exact! While checking out, he spotted the banana bread and couldn’t resist grabbing that too. Let’s just say, we went to bed completely stuffed. The chicken pot pie was out of this world, huge! Packed with tender chicken and veggies, and the crust was perfectly golden and flaky. Pure comfort food at its finest. I didn’t think I’d have room for banana bread, but I couldn’t resist sneaking a bite before bed. It was unbelievably moist, fresh, and hands down the best banana bread I’ve ever had. I grew up a wannabe Italian, and there’s just something special about an Italians cooking! Rig A Tony’s completely won me over, and I can’t wait to go back for more! 🤌Mamma mia, che buono!“

“We always order from here! Today we got the. Wings extra crispy they were excellent we also ordered a large Paisanos Deluxe no peppers extra crispy. OMG. The best pizza North of Boston! Amazing staff and Pizza. A must try“

“Hardly five stars. Deleted my complaint . Nice owner. Charged me 3 times for 2 pizzas. Guess she needs 64 bucks more than me. I find that to be poor business and the woman could not even be bothered to contact me. Will never go back nor will I recommend the place. Too bad cause the pizza was not bad and Jess is quite lovely. Owner should take customer service lessons from her. My previous complaint was deleted!!“

“We have come to Villaggio three times within the last six months. This place is excellent and we will be returning again and again. The service the food and the atmosphere everything is five stars.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“WOW. My husband and I were beyond impressed with Mike’s. The service was outstanding from reservation to check. The FOOD was unreal. Fresh homemade pasta and sausage/meatballs, flavorful crispy calamari and ham & fig flatbread were phenomenal. I had some gluten free options. The drinks were also fantastic! I especially loved the peach mule. Our waiter Rip was lovely. He was very busy but he treated us like we were his only guest which feels rare nowadays. The price was really reasonable compared to our usual regular Italian places (which have now been replaced by Mike’s Italian Kitchen). I highly recommend this place for great Italian food in a cozy but lively atmosphere!“

“Have always enjoyed the food, eating in or take out. During covid when open we enjoyed many a meal and always felt our business was appreciated. Tonight my wife called to place an order ( of roughly 200.00 to 250.00) for our family. Understandably it took a while for the phone to be answered and when it was and my wife said " hello I would like to place a take out order" received " we are not taking take out orders this eve" and was abruptly hung up on. We have been loyal supporters of this establishment pretty since it opened. Never spending another penny here. Our money was great when things were lean, sadly unappreciated. Thanks.“

“We’ve been coming here for years. The service is always an A+ The food is always an A+ We drive all the way here from MA for dinner 🩷“

“The food and drinks were amazing! And our server Dylan put up with our craziness!! Will definitely be back!“

“The corned beef sandwich just dripping with mustard was loaded with sweetness. My husband can’t pack a sandwich like that. I stop their twice a week.“

“Our bartender/waiter, Chris was wonderful! The limoncello was perfect and the food was delicious with the perfect blend of flavors. The espresso chocolate moose and espresso did not disappoint! We will certainly be back.“

“The food was phenomenal. It took a little bit to get there but the shift does a great job. If you're looking for a nice date night or even surprise a friend with a good meal, this is it. The atmosphere there is wonderfully quiet with Italian music playing in the background.“

“I'm not quite sure why this post says I'm recommending because unfortunately it was a horrible visit. We had been there before and enjoyed the food, cocktails and atmosphere. This particular night our waitress was great at first but after sitting there for two hours and eating the free bread,an appetizer and an entree along with two cocktails we were told we could not get a dessert martini. She claimed it was a "new rule". Strange because we have done this before. She offered us dessert, we said no thank you. We were already disappointed with the Chicken Primavera and my fiance's under cooked ravioli. She walks away without offering the check and has her coworker come over with takeout boxes and starts boxing up our meals. I asked if most of my meal could be put in the box without all the excess oil because my food was drowning in it. The brunette with glasses made the comment that the oil will get absorbed by the pasta. So rude!! Don't get!! It's oil not water and my food was drowning in it. I have never felt so kicked out in my life!! It was 6:30 on Friday. Thanks ladies.“

“Two fantastic visits - 1/31 and 2/25 - for my wife's birthday and then mine. Patrick provided awesome service, and our food was AWESOME! I had seen bacon-wrapped scallops on the appetizer menu and knew I was getting that! Main courses were also fantastic, and Patrick conversed with us about the paranormal events experienced there, since we are ghost hunting fans. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!! Can't wait to go again.“

“Piccolo Restaurant on Elm st Manchester Nh - the absolute BEST place for Italian! Lunch or dinner ! We’ve been for both!“

“Always a great value and service at the bar is the best! Teddy remembers what you drink and eat. Always happy when I go to 900 degrees!“

“This is one of the very few restaurants that will make you immediately feel at home! You can tell right from the start how much everyone and everything is appreciated and cared for which I believe is the benefit of a family owner restaurant especially when the family is as welcoming and caring as this one. From the martinis coming from the bar (with friendly service from Krista), especially my favorites the homemade creamy limoncello martini, their REAL espresso martinis, and their lemon drop to name a few, to the made to order dishes that you can customize to meet your preferred tastes or needs- everything is just done right! The appetizers are literally to die for- the eggplant a la romana will melt in your mouth, the world famous seafood mushroom are definitely world famous and the clams casino are 👌! For dishes I would recommend their double pork chop alla Nicola with truffle fries, their chicken or veal francese, their Marsala, saltimbocca, chicken langistino on their specials, and their amazing eggplant parm. Make sure you get their homemade pasta which they have 3 to choose from! If you truly know when a restaurant is overall special, then you won't have a hard time choosing the Colosseum for your next dine out experience. Despite when they get busy, I don't think they disappoint. Well worth the wait!!“

“I just had a neighbor give me some lasagna that his son brought him. Best lasagna I've ever had, I've never been there but, just tying one bite I'm hooked. The sauce is so good I could drink it. Pasquale's is a MUST TRY! 5 🌟 Star“

“They have the Best food“

“absolutely the best pizza around. friendly. clean they work hard and deserve every succesd“

“Just had your pizza for the first time. Def going to be a regular from here on out. 10/10 best za in Manchester. Easy.“

“Amazingly crafted sauce recipe. I normally get heartburn off of red sauce but this one is good.

This is THE BEST crust you will get within at least 25 miles. I’d honestly say that this is the best pizza you will get between Boston and all of New Hampshire.

Friendly people and they work hard to keep these pizzas and other food coming out top notch.

If you are looking for a 9/10 rating pizza, you call them and pay them. Tip them too… we need these pizzas to keep spinning!“

“They sling a good Roast Beef 3way“

“It's a very beautiful place to visit even alone or with the family and friends. There are a lot of stores, restaurants and kiosks. A lot of things to have fun.“

“Awesome as always! Love them!😊“

“I’ve been a fan of Uncle Joeys for YEARS, and loved their Merrimack location, but their Nashua location is AMAZING. Every single time I’ve eaten there, the food has been perfect! 10/10, six stars out of five, would recommend to Everyone and everybody!“

“Not only are their gluten free cakes beautiful , they are delicious. For people with Celiac Disease having a beautiful cake to celebrate with is a difficult task. We are so grateful to Luciano’s. I highly recommend them.“

“I put Capri at the top of the list of Windham area establishments! The pizza sauce is easily the best flavored sauce around! I’m also a sub connoisseur, and their Italian subs, as well as their steak n cheese is amazing! I had a ham n cheese calzone with pepperoni the other night that was my favorite calzone ever! I can go on and on!“

“Very humble, the food is great, the staff is great and Jay and Kristine the owners are great and always involved.“

“I moved back to Nashua after years of living in Orange County, NY, and North Jersey. I missed the pizza I had grown to love there. I got talking with someone I met here who grew up in Jersey and he recommended Soprano's. I gave them a try today and I am in love! It really is the closest here in Nashua that I can find to my beloved pizza back in Jersey. Highly recommended!“

“The good is always great and hot! The pizza and wings are the best. The best thing about Rocco's besides the delicious food is the service. We always ask for Patrick the waiter. Never had a waiter that is as awesome as he is. He truly loves his guests and is a pleasure to talk with. Rocco's has a gem with Patrick working there.“

“The chicken finger dinner I got was decent, however the fries tasted slightly burnt, the chicken was good, I ordered it with honey mustard and got complimentary sweet and sour as well which was nice, the service was good and the atmosphere was good, the place has dim lighting which adds a good atmosphere I think.“

““As someone who enjoys exploring different sub shops, I found this place to be slightly on the pricier side. However, the quality of the subs and the overall experience made it worth the cost. While it may not be a spot I’d visit regularly, it’s definitely a great option for an occasional treat. If you’re a fan of unique or premium sub sandwiches, this place is worth trying.“

“I've seen some low ratings - no idea why.. this is arguably the best Pizza in the area. Without question the best slice place that I can think of as well. Last 5 times I ate pizza I just went in and ordered a few slices. If I ordered a large I'd eat the whole damn thing, so slices work great for me. Every time I eat there, I tell someone on the staff - you're the best Pizza around.“
