We have been wanting to try this place out so we stopped in last night for the first time. It was our anniversary and they had a wonderful outdoor patio to enjoy the great outdoors along the river. The margaritas was perfect, the antipasto was right on point, the food was delicious and the servers were amazing. Highly recommend stopping in. Word of advice, you might be tempted to have another delicious margarita, but be warned they serve them up strong so make sure you can handle it! Hahaha.
Very disappointing. Waited almost an hour and a half for three dishes. Noodles are watery and lack flavor. You can tell the chicken was previously frozen. Barely able to cut into the chicken, texture is rubbery, chewy, and bland. The seafood is also a let down. Batter is sticky and soggy. Onion rings were undercooked, and raw. Fried shrimp had the tails and spine remaining on before being deep fried. Unfortunately, almost everything on each plate is unedible. The service from our original waitress was disrespectful. Upon commenting on the food quality, she walked away without saying anything and my table had to flag down a different waitress.Overall, would not recommend this place to anyone.
Good experience. Will return. App were great especially the rollatini ricotta eggplant which was large enough to be a meal. The calamari was fresh and very tender. My entree of chicken with eggplant, chicken la Noah was excellent. My partner's entree of polo farfalle had an unpleasant taste of canned and possibly pickled red peppers. For dessert we had the 3 flavor gelato which was great. The creme brulee was overly browned giving it a burnt taste. We had a long wait for our food as the small kitchen was busy with takeout orders. Overall we enjoyed our visit and will eat here again just skipping those dishes that we weren't fond of. The dishes that we did like were excellent. Our waitress failed to tell us what dishes were unavailable that night until we tried to place our order. She was not very attentive to us. We had to hijack the younger waitress from the table next to us in order to get water and she gave us much better service.
My husband and I just went here for the first time since it opened and we really enjoyed it. The service was excellent, the martini pour was heavy and reasonably priced and the food was awesome. Highlight: the fried mozzarella was to die for. Also, we took home a canolli that the owner called "second only to Mike's in Boston." I think it was even better than Mike's! Well definitely be back!
Be prepared to wait!Not to be seated.. But for everything else ?I've been 3 times, and every single time we go, we are sitting at the table for an hour plus, waiting for just the appetizers.Twice now, our main meal has come out after an hour and forty-five minutes, and we have asked for to-go boxes immediately just to get on with our night.We just had a visit from the owner to "check in with how things were tasting." We finally got our mussels after waiting 45 minutes, and I don't eat mussels. So I let my boyfriend answer. He said he enjoyed them, and she then asked me. I said I don't eat mussels and she said, "omg, you must be hungry then!". I replied with, "Yeah.. It's been a while.." And she asked "have you been here before, " and i said I have. She then explained that it's normal to wait an hour plus for food to arrive.. ?♀️Once our waitress finally arrived after the tables around us finished up.. We explained that we wanted to go boxes and the check immediately. And just like magic.. our food came out, perfectly wrapped in to go boxes to scoot us on out?♀️3 strikes for us.. sorry guys. Better luck with some more patient customers with heavier wallets and endless time to wait.
Let’s start with the staff amazing friendly smiles from when u walk in till u walk out. The chef was an absolute star from scratch to finish the real authentic Italian thank you for a great meal an beautiful experience.. Mushrooms a must tryShout out to an experienced dedicated heart put Chef Angel Santiago
I am HOOKED! Love their Buffalo tenders (always order a side to take home). Also the fried mozzarella and fried ravioli is superb! Tried the chicken pesto tortellini, IT WAS AMAZING! Definitely a great date night. Make sure to reserve a seat on the weekends. Great food attracts loads of customers and take out. I absolutely will be back time and again. Thanks Chef!
One of my new favorite restaurants! Beautiful and clean inside, great views of a river out back. Drinks and food are absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Great service and an incredibly kind, helpful, and engaging staff! I highly recommend to check this place out- you won’t be disappointed! :)
Love your food!*But person taking phone orders and hostess need better training and customer service skills. Missing food and wrong items given.Waiting an hour for take out is completely understandable, but being told I'd have to wait another hour to get my correct order is unacceptable.
Great gem of a restaurant off the beaten path. I ordered a cup of seafood chowder and their Cioppino dish with red sauce and a glass of red with bread. Very nice meal.

We tried The Chef for the first time today. The food, drinks & restaurant were wonderful! My husband had the seafood risotto and I had the chicken saltimbocca. The food was delicious and the drinks were strong. This restaurant is an absolute gem, and we look forward to coming back soon!
Pretty good Italian for the New Hampshire countryside. It not the North End, but better than almost anywhere else around Nashua, Manchester. Kitchen was quote slow the nightwear were there.
Great Italian reasonable priced and great service!
This place is amazing! Despite all the challenges restaurants have faced in finding good help and quality ingredients, they don’t compromise! Just finished a gnarly, exhausting Spartan race and was CRAVING authentic , wholesome Italian food. Had an amazing specialty martini and the marsala…best drink and meal in NH!
