26 Best Italian Restaurants near Newington

“Would give it an (overall) 5 rating and 4 (food) rating given a little more sauce on the pasta, and WAY less salt on the bread rolls - which I cannot even eat without scraping first. Regular stop for the wife and I for Spaghetti with Meatballs and sometimes, Sausages. With the Meat Sauce, a very tasty meal for the price, though I believe the portions of the sauce have been reduced recently, lowering it's value as well. All meals come with a choice of soup or salad, I choose the salad regularly (lettuce, tomato, onion and croutons, Italian dressing and optional fresh grated cheese). The tiramisu is to die for and the wine (Red Blend) very nice at the price.“

“Last night was truly a one of a kind experience for my husband and I. From the moment we walked into the door, being greeted so warmly by the owner. Throughout our meal the staff was genuine and kind with helping us celebrate our wedding anniversary. Making us both feel truly special. I have never experienced this level of top notch service in a restaurant in my life. Thank you for a wonderful night and experience, Tonya C“

“We wanted Italian tonight and was pleased to find Cartellis North End right in Dover. Service was great. You can actually see the kitchen from anywhere you sit. Even though the place is small and noisy, the atmosphere was quaint and the food was delicious. I heard they give large portions, so we ended up each ordering appetizer and splitting an entree but still brought some home. Loved the spinach/artichoke dip. The chicken wings looked delicious but the penne vodka with shrimp dish was wonderful. Thanks for being so close to home and bedtime wishes to expand some day soon.“

We had the meatballs and Caesar salad , and special ravioli with squash and pumpkin and shrimp, delicious. Unfortunately the couple with us ordered Marsala but was brought Parmesan veal, they opted to keep it and said it was good. Love the atmosphere of restaurant and menu options.“

I got the chicken ranchero sub, I took out the ham because I don’t like ham all that much, but then I added pineapple too it, made the sandwich so much better, there is also bacon and lettuce tamatos, and cheese on it!! 100/10“

Highly recommend.“
