25 Best Italian Restaurants near North Hampton

“Love the food. I was disappointed that we were told we couldn’t sit in a booth. She said the booths were All reserved. We had a toddler who does so much better in a booth. I honestly considered walking out. We ate and left and only 2 parties came in and used the booth leaving approximately 95 percent of the booths open.“

“Such a great night! The food is fabulous, and the staff is amazing! Definitely a go to.“

“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“

“Eating inside the restaurant helps make up for me being 0% italian. They greet you like family and you’ll feel the warmth.

Most of the meals we have ordered have been good. We have been upcharged by a lot (doubled the price of an entree) for substitutions like shrimp instead of sausage even when there is a shrimp dish with a similar price to my original order.“

“Cornicello is truly one of those hidden gems - staff is incredibly friendly and extremely helpful. Food is superb !! Love the layout of tables - all by the windows with river views. Warm friendly community atmosphere (not stuffy). My daughter and I love this restaurant and have made this our special meeting place. Bravissimo Cornicello !!“

“Food portions are large and very good! Dominic was the best server I’ve had at a restaurant in awhile, very friendly, knowledgeable and prepared. He had everything I could’ve needed before having to ask for it. 10/10 for him. You’ll always leave here with lunch for the next day!“

“Super grinders really get on down to Amsto's. They have a deal going right now . Original Italian Grinder ,a bag of chips and large soda for I believe $8.99 I really love their Italian. But I recently tried their Sausage Parmesan. with green peppers and onions, delicious. There sauce and those large sausage links so trully yummy. We always stop when we're traveling. Really a comfort food.“

“Always excellent! Have been coming for 10+ years !“

“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.“

“Wow! I’ve been in the hunt for delicious pizza since Luigi’s in Portsmouth closed, and I finally tried Pepe Nero’s. My search is over! Their specialty Neapolitan pepperoni pizza was next level.“

“I am a cannoli junkie. I was walking back to the hotel and saw the sign and had to get a cannoli. It's a character flaw!
The cannoli was made to order and was amazing.
I'd have taken a picture, but it didn't make it back to the hotel...
It's not fancy or high-society dining, but it was one hell of a delicious cannoli!!“
