“We called at the last minute hoping to get a table for two, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Elisa, one of the sister owners, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She let us choose between two seating options, personally made sure our table was clean and ready, and checked in throughout the evening to ensure we were enjoying our food and leaving happy and full.

Michelle, our bartender, was friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to talk with. She made sure we always had everything we needed.

The food was outstanding. We ordered the Cioppino and the Pasta Antonietta, and both were exceptional. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavor was incredible. Every bite was delicious.

The combination of amazing food and genuine hospitality made this a five star dining experience. We can’t wait to return!“

Ronaldo's Ristorante at the Beach Italian • $$
3 D St, Hampton - 8.48 miles

“Unquestionably the best food at Hampton Beach! Beach food is often fun but not exactly something to write home about—but this place completely breaks that stereotype. Don’t think of this as a traditional pasta-only Italian restaurant; they do some really creative and memorable things here.

We came for dinner and it was so good that we came back for breakfast the next morning (and we never go to the same place twice when visiting from out of town).

The owners may be in the kitchen or out among the servers, and they are wonderful people. You can tell they genuinely love food and care deeply about creating a great experience for their customers.

Dinner was the Seafood Risotto and Baked Seafood—both outstanding, loaded with seafood, and honestly among the best seafood meals we’ve ever had. Their drink menu deserves a special mention too—so many great choices.

Breakfast was equally impressive: smoked salmon on a croissant, lobster benedict, cappuccino, and—just for fun—an ube latte (see photo).

This restaurant turns a beach trip into a true foodie experience. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“First time ever and had the most AMAZING meals, drinks and experience. Staff A+! Food, chicken, broccoli Alfredo. 10/10. Creamed lemon Haddock. 10/10!!! Drinks and bartender, Brittany A+. Chef came out to us to see how our meal was. Told him we left NOTHING on the plate, neither one of us. Not a CRUMB! I usually leave a little something to take home. I couldn’t stop eating. DELICIOUS. Found out new spot! Thank you so much. See you soon!“
