30 Best Italian Restaurants near Merrimack

“This is one of the best restaurants in all of new hampshire! The food was amazing and affordable. I would recommend this restaurant to any individual looking for a piece of Italy nearby.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, perfect for date night, ladies night out or special occasions as it's not too noisy. I have also come here for work luncheons many times, it's suitable for various occasions. They start with a perfectly flavored scarpetta, the bread is warm and the oil is perfectly flavored. The drink menu is extensive, and the bar does a great job. The calamari app is prepared in the Italian style, and it tastes fresh. The main courses are average size, delicious and beautifully presented. If you are too full for one of the decadent desserts, they also offer mini desserts so you don't have to miss out. We went on a busy night, but the staff was full of smiles, welcoming and courteous . Absolutely recommend this place!“

“First time customer. Was craving chicken fingers. Went by reviews. We got the family pack of chicken stix and the amount of food is overwhelming, in a good way lol I’m super picky about my chicken and this is so good. We got it with JoJo potatoes and I’ll never be able to enjoy a regular french fry again. The pack also came with a hefty portion of coleslaw, which was very tasty. Food arrived hot, and is a great value for the price. Thank you Uncle Joey!“

“Yes, they are in a shopping strip, and are next to a Shaw's Supermarket. Odd locations, and you would never guess that this is quite excellent tuscan style italian, and one of the best in the area. I rate it above Giorgio's which many would probably also argue for.“

“First time there for my daughters birthday they staff where all very friendly and food was amazing. I would highly recommend going there for any occasion,Or just want good food.“

“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.“

“Great visit! 5 stars, bartenders are very friendly. The new guy is awesome! Food excellent!“

“What a wonderful experience… Exceptional service by Anthony, our server… Gluten free food was delicious and the desserts are spectacular…“

“The food is amazing and the atmosphere is lovely. Favorite and best Italian place around town.“

“I'm in town visiting from Philadelphia. In Philly all we have is cheesesteaks and the occasional riot after winning a sports championship. So I wanted to try something different and a little less felonious and while my host was out at work, I walked over to Kinsley House of Pizza. I went to order a tuna sub but they were out of tuna. No big deal, that's not unheard of in the restaurant industry, and I get it. But I also don't eat meat or poultry, and I didn't want to order an entire pizza to myself, so what to do? This is where the gentleman waiting on me went into what I like to call "helpful salesperson mode". And I know what you're thinking--am I buying a car or just trying to order food? No, I'm definitely not buying a car. I want to be clear on that. No cars were harmed during the writing of this post. Not even if it was a car made out of pizza and breadsticks, though that is a pretty cool idea and I think it needs to happen. So anyway, wasn't purchasing a car, and back to the "helpful salesperson" comment--the gentleman behind the counter mentioned that they had "fake chicken" and I could get a fake chicken sub if I wanted. Well I never had a chicken sub let alone one made from fake chicken, so I decided to try that. That was not a good idea, that was a GREAT idea! Absolute banger of a sub, and I can't wait until I'm back in town so I can try the pizza next. ...but a car made out of pizza is also not off the table. Because life is short, and it's important to have goals, especially if they involve pizza.“

“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.“

“I've always loved their food and wine selection; but today I also got my employee luncheon catered. Here's what I got for feedback: Thank you for the party, food was great! Thank you so much. Everything was delicious. Thank you, Kathleen for organizing a wonderful Luncheon!!!! Thank you, Kathleen, you did a great job! Food was delicious! The lunch was delicious! Thank you for putting on such a beautiful spread. Thanks so much for organizing the luncheon. A bunch of us came and enjoyed the food very much. THANK YOU, Johnny and staff for a hot, delicious and bountiful lunch party!“

“To Chloe F . Thank you for being the sweetest young lady to me today. My great gram used to give us Andes mints before we could leave her home before she passed , it was a family tradition. Ive been to other olive gardens that so often forego the service at the end of the meal . You didnt forget that and even gave us breadsticks to go and a to go for the salad and most importantlythe mints . I didnt expect to start crying but the tradition of the mints hit me hard and no other olive garden remembers that. It made me feel like I had family back for a moment and I was so overwhelmed I couldn't help but cry . Its funny how the small things mean so much but to me that was one way I could remember my family and it was like being given the gift of that love once again . Thank you for your grace and the hug , I should've tipped more than I already had but it occured after that . But that small act touched something deep inside i had not experienced in a very long time, Thank you with all my heart - Jessica“

“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“

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the Bedford Village Inn. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The staff leading up to the big day were so kind, organized, and helpful, and the day-of team was just as incredible - attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. The food was amazing, and the venue itself is truly a dream. Every corner of the property is filled with charm and character, creating the most romantic and memorable setting. We already can’t wait to come back for anniversaries at the Tavern - it will always hold such a special place in our hearts.“

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

“We just hosted a surprise birthday party at Giorgio's in Milford. Everything was great from start to finish. The planning process was straight forward, the events manager was easy to work with and responded quickly to my emails. The space itself was the perfect setting for our 30 guests, the food was delicious and the service was stellar. I would highly recommend this location for any function or party.“

“I have not a had a sub in a long time. I was craving a steak and cheese with onion and ordered one to be delivered. The order was placed online without an issue, arrived on time and was so hot like if I was there at the restaurant. The sub itself was the best one I ever had so fresh the steak was so good not dry or fatty, onions cooked perfectly and enough cheese. I could never eat a whole sub and it was that good I ate my first whole sub.“

“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.“

“The service was great and they were all very accommodating! Food was AMAZING. Such a great experience for my birthday. THANK YOU 🤍“

“If I could pick one place in the entire city to eat, it would be here.“

“One of my favorite Moes locations. I drove back to NH from TX for a motorcycle competition. I had to stop here. They were nice enough to make a pair of deconstruction subs that I could put in my cooler and share with my wife after driving back to TX“

“OMG I’ve been getting their Crisy Chicken Caesar Salad Sub for months and tonight we tried their pizza for the 1st time. And we loved it!! We haven’t had NY style pizza like this in a long time…since we left NY. Everything we try from this place just slays!!!“

“Not sure how else to add a new review. Loved the old owners. New owners need to update the site since it is no longer relevant and belongs to the last family. Not a good look for you. We loved this place. When it changed hands we stopped ordering, was not good. I think they needed time, as expected. Second time ordering since new owners. Update the site with current info. Let ppl know its under new ownership. Shows better. Its not italian but Indian ownership. With that being said, delicious. Glad I gave it a second chance. We waited ample time. Not greasy, lots of toppings, full of flavor! Amazing. Im glad we tried again. We will be ordering again! We love Suppas but this is equal for sure. So happy!“
