27 Best Italian Restaurants near Hampstead

“Went here for father's day at 610pm and we greeted fine, but the rushed to order drinks. Then waited for 20 minutes to order food and no waitress anywhere seems they over sat there area. So sad this place was good 6 months ago no crap!!“

“I had the corn chowder to start. Enough for a meal in itself!! Absolutely hearty and delicious as good as I ever had. I went for a weekly special but was steered to the Seafood platter with claims that it was "as good as any seafood coastal eateries and then some". Beautiful large pieces of freshest haddock, tasty shrimps, scallops and clams that were cooked to perfection with a nice tasting sweet batter. Oh and meaty onion rings with a nice meal batter of its own. My pal had the best cheese burger he ever had. Food here you know is cooked to order. I saw this restaurant on an online ad and I was impressed. I can't wait to try the amazing looking pizza I saw at the next table, prime rib on selected nights and heck....this place should be packed with customers!!!!! I have a feeling whatever is on the menu is worthy of thumbs up. I can't wait to go back!!“

“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.“

“BOSA completely blew us away and honestly helped me and my fiancé re ignite our relationship. Odd I know but we can explain. First off food was phenomenal and I would even say that work underplays it. Every dish nails layers of flavor. There’s few places that I go and order different meals as I usually go with what I know but BOSA offers great diversity in their menu and I cant wait to treat my fiancé to dinner again here. Now let’s get to our waitress Nicole! She’s the one who made this night beyond amazing. The initial greet was done with a friendly face and welcoming smile that made us feel right at home. She’s super knowledgeable about the whole menu with great recommendations! One thing I greatly admire and appreciate is she will give you her personal opinions of the food instead if trying to upsell the most expensive. That goes a long long way with me. Nicole is super personable and friendly it felt like we knew her for 10 years! You don’t see this service anymore and I told her I want to personally request her everytime we go from now on. Nicole told us her daughter works with her as well (clearing/cleaning tables, etc); what a dynamic duo I’ll tell ya! Both of them truly amazing! When I say me and my fiancés relationship got re ignited by Nicole and bosa that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Between broken down vehicles and trying to afford a wedding money has caused lots of tension, but money didn’t even phase us tonight. The service we received was worth more than what I had in my pocket. We tipped Nicole well and honestly if I had more cash on me I woulda done more. She didn’t even want to accept the tip but she’s truly amazing. We left feeling refreshed and renewed so thank you Nicole! You changed us for the better and showed us there’s still good people in the world. Thank you once again for an amazing night and we are truly blessed to have met you. Nicole should be the face of the company they would kill it! She’s funny smart knowledgeable and truly knows how to connect and take care of each individual customer. We left feeling like we were friends! Phenomenal night, phenomenal food, even better staff! The entire crew from hostess to Nicole to the manager and general manager came together and made the night special memorable and gave us lots to talk about. We have a network of many “foodies” and we will be sharing our experience with them!“

“Amazing food, warm atmosphere, and great people ♥️“

“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 🩷“

“Very scrumptious and busin busin. Lovely place to eat and have great pickles for the side. 10/10 would recommend“

“My wife and I went to the Roma for an early supper on 5/25 and from the time we walked in to the time we left we were treated like a member of David’s family. He and the staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. The food was plenty. Can not wait to go back.“

“We hosted both of my children's 1st birthday parties at Maria's and they have always been great. Their function room is beautiful, the staff is always kind, and the food always good. I also believe it to be reasonable priced. I would recommend Maria's to anyone hoping to have a nice event of any size!“

“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“

“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.“

“Best pizza“

“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!!“

“Food is fantastic, great sized portions, affordable, welcoming and inviting staff. We've never had a meal we didn't love and we go all the time! Definitely recommend.“

“The food was so good loved the gyros and falafel with tahini sauce ?? Staff are extremely helpful and friendly I recommend it to everyone ??“

“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!“

“almost perfect.large menu.“

“Romano's Pizza on Primrose St in Haverhill is the BEST bunch of Kind People with the best Pizza and Subs around!!! Always great guys and cheerful order Service. They even give me a Veteran's Discount which is so much appreciated. Thank You All - I Salute YOU! - Tom Merrill Haverhill Ma.“

“Awesome as always! Love them!😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Becoming our go to pizza place…and not for pizza! Best calzones, burger special, prices! Tonight i ordered a steak tip salad…tips cooked rare. Salad came tips on side like i asked for, perfectly cooked, amazingly flavorful and juicy…portion of steak was huge! 9 steak tips ! BEST STEAK TIPS I HAVE HAD ANY WHERE AROUND HERE!!!! I already know what im ordering next time…the steak tip dinner! My daughter’s buffalo chicken salad was delicious she said…she has enough for like 2 more meals…my son and husbands BLTs were devoured without a moment to breath or speak!“

“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!!“

“Awesome pizza. Perfect balance of ingredients. Toppings always fresh. The house-made sauce is delicious. Crispy thin crust. So tasty, my favorite pizza in town.“
