50 Best Italian Restaurants near Billerica

“So glad I found Sylvios. Working nearby on a long term project and the food is priced right and the quality is top 3 in my lifetime for a pizza/sub shop! The owners clearly have the utmost pride in their work and it shows. Highly recommend.“

“Wow is my first impression. We just moved to this area from Las Vegas and chose this as our first meal to try and we were not disappointed. First, that bread!!! With the toasted sesame on top w a little butter had me begging for more. Being our first time here we chose the Italian platter that was insane huge and only $22.99!!!! Full side chicken parm, eggplant parm, one meat ball, one sausage and lasagna. The sauce is top notch for sure as was each bite of each item. My husband prefers a meat lasagna but combined with the meatball he was for sure satisfied. If I had to pick one that item I could do without and that would be the eggplant parm but that's a personal preference. In the end 10/10. Will eat again. And to top the food, the service was outstanding as well.“

“This was the second stop on my pizza journey in and around Billerica. The people that work here are wonderful. Pizza is not only good. But reasonably priced. If I was too be nitpicky, I would say that I prefer a slightly more cooked pizza. Wonderful people, wicked convenient. Will definitely be back.“

“The food here is the best. Huge options for even the toughest critic. Also have take home & make options. Prices are really good for the amount & quality of the food. I live near some very expensive Italian restaurants & their menus iare skimpy comoared to the choices at Strombolis. The iwner is always friendly, showing his appreciation to his customers. Like in any restaurants even in top notch sometimes an order is wrong but open your mouth & the owner will make it right. Been coming here for years. Atmosphere is like a pizza joint but dont let it fool you. The atmosphere keeps the prices reasonable“

“Staff are so nice each and every time I call and go in. I’m so happy I’ve found this place. The food is always fantastic and I’ve tried a few different things. I keep going back and everyone should too.“

“Celebrating the birthdays of 3 family members, our party of 10 ranged from 4 to 81 years of age. From the moment our waitress, Selesia, introduced herself to us, until we left the restaurant with a hug, her attentiveness and patience was exemplary. The food and ambiance were outstanding. The appetizers, antipasto di Norcino, calamari and bruschetta were delicious. Entrees that we had included the braised short ribs, which was so tender no knife was needed, gnocchi, bolognese and calce di pepe were all thoroughly enjoyed and no "doggie bags" were needed. I highly recommend Il Ponte and we will return.“

“Wow, wow, and wow again! What a treat that my dear friend and I happened upon this GEM! At first glance it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when you step inside it’s like entering a whole new world. It is elegant and beautiful, a fantastic combination of fine dining with an atmosphere like coming home. Such a quaint spot with the best quality Italian food I have ever had. Cristiano was the kindest server on the planet, so attentive, and so welcoming! As a worker in the food service industry, I was blown away! First off, drinks. To our surprise, Arancini has a BYOB policy (SO COOL! People had brought their own bottles of wine, which Cristiano offered to open and put on ice). Other than that, they offer your typical sodas, some juice, and a variety of sparkling and still water options. Let’s talk food. Right away, they bring fresh, warm, house-made bread, with fantastically seasoned dipping oil. Other than that, we started off with the Caesar salad and the friend mozzarella appetizer. The Caesar salad (despite it being just about the most basic thing that someone can order) was so well put together. It had just the right amount of dressing, and fresh grated, high quality parmesan cheese! The mozzarella app was quite possible the tastiest thing I have ever put in my mouth. Oh my god, it just about dissolved in my mouth. Imagine the best mozzarella sticks you’ve ever had in your life, but the cheese is so high quality and it is freshly battered and friend minutes before it is brought to your table. Never frozen - just made hot and fresh for you to eat. Don’t even get me started on the marinara sauce. Again, clearly house-made and so fresh. I could’ve had it as a soup! For a main meal I had the most delicious fettuccini Alfredo. The sauce was TO DIE FOR. The pasta was perfectly cooked (I didn’t know pasta could even taste like that ). I asked for chicken in the pasta and… oh. my. god. I have no words. I mean I can attempt to describe it but I won’t do it justice. Tender, JUICY, and you KNOW it’s authentic because the chicken was battered in egg. I was drooling before I took a single bite. I also added broccoli and it was SO PERFECT. The whole meal, it was just the best food I have ever had I swear. PLEASE give this place a shot! You’ll probably want a reservation because I don’t think there are more than 10 tables there! It’s small but mighty. Thank you Cristiano for making this experience incredible!“

“I’ve visited this restaurant 5 times in the past 6 months and can’t recommend it enough! The secret is in their sauce - all dishes are delicious. Being a vegetarian I was pleased to get great veg options. The service, vibe and food are all 5 star! Parking is a bit hassle but the cozy spot and dining makes up for it. Definitely a good place for dates, friendly chats and family dinners together. I might go again next month just because their food is that gooood!!Vegetarian options: Arancini, soups, pizza options and mushroom truffle pasta are some options to explore.Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate any dietary restrictions and can recommend otherwise.Kid-friendliness: Good for family dinners.“

“This place is both so comfortable and so classy at the same time! Service is wonderful, the staff members are so very friendly, and the food is delicious! Ava and Kathy made the evening so enjoyable! This is definitely a place for us to visit again!“

“Delicious restaurant.My friend and I had the sirloin tips and chicken breasts. Juicy, cooked perfectly, and fantastic. Another friend had the baked haddock, which was an enormous portion. She could barely finish it. That too was cooked perfect and very tasty!My only complaints...it was very loud. Difficult to hear our conversations. Also...the bathrooms are one person at a time. So my suggestion is to rush to one as soon as the 'urge' happens. There might be a little waiting.However, I TOTALLY recommend this restaurant!!Parking: Small parking lot, which is shared with other businesses.Wheelchair accessibility: Very handicap accessible.“

“My new favorite place for excellent take out Italian! My first visit was such a pleasant surprise..really enjoyed chatting with the friendly proprietors. My eggplant rollatini was perfect & can't wait to try everything on the menu! Thanks!“

“DELICIOUS food & wine, good service“

“We went early on a Friday, we made reservations to make sure we got a table. Service, ambience and food items were amazing! Alcoholic drinks on point, tuna app and bread melted in your mouth along with the short rib, risotto and pork chop! Tiramisu was light and fluffy. Jeff our server was attentive and very knowledgeable as well. Definitely going back!“

“The place is small but so ain't I you go in there and eat they feed you and feed you and you will take a doggie bag home the food is fresh it could be just like in Sicily hospitality of the owner and the waitress and the cook it's just so personable and the price is right I'm going back tomorrow and I was there today....“

“Didn’t get a before photo but the after photo tells the story!! The Market Al Fresca in Tewksbury - four cheese lasagna - I don’t usually comment on other peoples lasagna because I like mine BUT this was absolutely delicious, so tasty and packed with cheese. Half of this tray fed three adults (it’s about a 6x9 tray) I can’t wait to try some of their other dinner offerings! I might never cook again!!! And they had gluten free offerings also. Of course I left with just baked bread still warm snd dessert as well. TRy it out I don’t think you will be disappointed!!!“

“We had a great time for dinner. One of our friends had an allergy and our server, Alexis, was very attentive and made sure everything was correctly ordered for her. Great overall...everyone's dinner was delicious.. the cod, New York sirloin and the pasta genovese. Would go back for sure!“

“I recently went to dine at Sam’s Kitchen and everything from the food, atmosphere and service was excellent! I usually don’t take the time to write reviews, but wanted to do so as to whomever reads this review won’t hesitate to check out Sam’s Kitchen as I did! You won’t regret it and when you do you will undoubtedly return!“

“This is our new GO TO place! We are Italian so we are hard to please when it comes our Italian dishes. This place is the BEST Italian (home cooked) meal! You will not be disappointed! Fresh, tasty and service was great also! Make sure you make reservations as they book up quick! You will NOT be disappointed!“

“This is probably where I go when I'm craving decently priced, appetizing and good Italian food. I recommend the chicken parmesan with eggplant or the baked Ziti which are both very good. I also like how you can choose between meat sauce or just tomato sauce and the bread and wine are also very good too. Overall, definitely an Italian place I would go back to,to try more of their menu items and get some of my favorites from there!“

“Delicious meal! Had the Shrimp Verdicchio, so good! Had a pistachio martini and it was amazing, it had finely chopped pistachios and chocolate on the rim. Alexander was our waiter, he was so nice! Very attentive and courteous. Made our dining experience so enjoyable. I recommend the Lemoncello cake for dessert, it was very good. Cannot wait to go back!!!!“

“James at Peppers Grille in Bedford, MA did an amazing job catering our Oktoberfest corporate event with 100+ guests. Everything was homemade, fresh, and arrived hot . James helped plan out the entire menu, was always available via email and phone, and just a pleasure to work with. Our employees were very happy and asked us where we got the catering from- Peppers Grille is our new go to!“

“Another fantastic meal with great service!“

“Went here on a Friday night. A nice cozy atmosphere that was relaxing. Wasn’t too crowded. The crowd is older which I love.The food was great and well priced. Felt like a great value. They have a lot of different Italian dishes, and combos if you want to try different things all at once.Bread and oil to start!The waitress was extremely nice, and she genuine and attentive. Don’t get service like that many places anymore.Parking and getting out of the parking lot when it’s busy can be difficult, but worth it. Just be patient.“

“✨♥️WHAT A TREAT♥️✨...WOW.... ✨JORDANA IS MAGICAL.She MADE my experience over the top, the food was DELICIOUS.Even if it wasn't. You'd go back for Jordana.The chicken, broccoli, ziti Alfredo pasta dish was so impressive.3 meals out of it!!!!✨✨Must try✨✨Kid-friendliness: I don't have kids.But it's so welcoming there.If your kids are old enough to sit still, bring them!!!“

“Always such fresh salads, very generous portion with lots of grilled chicken, enough for two meals. Wonderful! My husband has their delicious meatballs and spaghetti and ALWAYS gets two meals out ion it also. We have never been disappointed by Amari’s.“

“Food was fantastic! You can tell it's all made with love, all fresh made in house. Got the eggplant parm & chicken parm sandwiches (they were toasted which I love),and dinners to take home with a few slices of pizza. Very friendly staff also, we'll be back soon!“

“This restaurant has quickly become one of my top choices for Italian cuisine. The mushroom pizza is fantastic, and the pasta with clams is exceptional. The staff are welcoming, and the ambiance is delightful. I'll definitely be dining here more frequently!“

“love the BOGO pizza offers and coupons but, Extremely disappointed that the Birthday coupon has to be used for dine in only. I can understand if a purchase is needed and it can't be used with other discounts, but wish it could be used for carry out. used to be able to use for carry out and with other discounts, which was nice.“

“good pasta and turkey clubs“

“This place is tiny which means that you need a reservation to make sure you have a table. The service, I believe by the owner/chef was really attentive and casual. I had the ravioli and they were excellent. My husband had a dish with pasta and meat and he said it was very good. The ambience is old and it is clear that the food is what you are going for. Overall we thought it was good, didn't sweep me off my feet.“

“Since I started ordering from Spinners. I don't order take . Out anywhere. ,else. Great food. The last item I ordered was spaghetti and eggplant It was so good. Everything I order is delicious. Polite always get my order exactly right Great drivers.“

“Friday night with reservations for 8 at 6:30. Still had to wait 15 minutes for clearing of our table. 15 minutes to take orders. 1 hour to get food as we were informed that the kitchen was "overwhelmed". Still...the wait was worth it as each person's order was delicious!!Hard to beat!! Just a wonderful time!!“

“Great family oriented affordable dining, primarily pasta/sauce/protein meals, but with a pleasantly surprising sub menu of that famous, trademarked Broasted Chicken and JoJo Potatoes cuisine (which I prefer to enjoy at home by take-out). If passing through the area, take advantage of a stop at a classic that locals have come to rely on regularly for a superior family meal experience, dining in or taking out, or meeting with others for a shared dining experience.“

“First time yesterday, very kind employees,fast service, wonderful meatball sub, french fries.“

“Love this place! Super excited to have so many vegan options.“

“I’ve been driving past Rufina’s for months, always intrigued by the full parking lot so early on Friday evenings. I finally got the chance to stop in yesterday and was certainly delighted! The hostess seated my 3 girls and I quickly, while reassuring that the white table cloths didn’t mean that kids were not welcome. The menu is extensive: all of our family’s favorite dishes plus a whole lot more. The girls were so happy with the dessert list. We landed on angel hair pasta with marinara and meatball, ziti broccoli with chicken, and piccata with shrimp and mushrooms. For dessert in house made cheesecake with strawberries! The service was great too- we had drinks right away and the server got dinner orders in promptly (super important with kiddos). The food wasn’t brought super quickly but a trip to the bathroom and a couple minutes buffer with cell phone videos did the trick. Along the way, we asked for extra silverware which were brought right away and we had a major drink spill, which they helped contain and remediate quickly (complete with a new wheats table cloth). The prices were comfortable and the quality was great. The only thing that was a bit strange for our young crew was the noise level- it was super quiet when we first arrived around 5:45/6. I had to keep reminding the girls of the quiet voices that were needed.“

“I really love the family friendly environment. I usually take the kids on Fridays and always feel welcome. My kids love the food! Especially the chicken tenders and pasta on the kids menu! So it makes take out for a busy sports mom easy! The restaurant is spacious and I can’t wait to see it with the new expansion in the works! It will be fun to grab a drink at the bigger bar that is going in!“

“Although the restaurant has a small dining area we use this restaurant as a go to place for take-out. No matter what we choose from the variety of menu choices, the meal is always cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Portion sizes usually result in leftovers that are just as good when served again.“

“Good parking behind the building. Greeted by Lisa slash waitress very friendly helped us with menu .We ask about menu and opening and closing time. I had the steak tip Bennie,Steak, which was a 9.5 taste sweet and good-sized eggs that were soft with a Portuguese like muffins .“

“I have been ordering from AJ's religiously for like 6 years - (At least that's how long I've been working next door) I haven't tried everything, but can definitely recommend what I have tried - especially their eggplant - it is my favorite thing from there, and reminds me of my Mimi's eggplant (SUPERB!) The grilled chicken wrap is amazing too.. I always add provolone and a side of ranch for dipping, then ask them to grill it (like a burrito) - the pizza is really good too. I have never had a complaint and they are super friendly. It's like Cheers when I walk in because literally they all know my name - including the cook - that should tell you how often I frequent the place! 5 stars all around!“

“First time ordering after getting menu in the mailbox. Ordered small cheeseburger with fries pizza. Added lettuce and bacon. It was fantastic. Good distribution of meat and other toppings, our customizations were honored without question. I will be back!“

“Great place for a quick lunch! The Buffalo Chicken Wrap was GREAT! I needed a copy of my lunch receipt that I forgot to grab. I called a few hours later, they were able to find my receipt right away and send to me via text! Thank you for a great experience. Next time I am in Arlington I will eating there again!!“

“We come here quite often. It is very good. We like the homemade pasta a lot. Services is always great. I'll is OK. It's like a café. The new location is a lot fancier but the original location here the chef will allow changes. The new location will not.“

“Love this place! My fiancé is a picky person and it's the only place we can get fresh jalapeño on his steak and cheese sub in a way he likes. We tried adding mushrooms yesterday just to mix in something new and still moved the food. I'd take pictures but every time I think of it the food is already gone/eaten.“

“I've been a bunch of times. Never disappointed, everything is delicious.“

“We have been going to George's since I was younger and before it moved to it's current location and the pizza is still as good as it was years ago.Parking: Can be hard to park when the other businesses are getting deliveries. But as far as I am concerned the parking is a small issue for great pizza“

“As I entered the restaurant to obtain my takeout, I was welcomed with a welcoming smile. There was a bustling environment with folks at the bar and at tables enjoying their food and beverages. What I appreciated which may have been a minor gesture for the staff was that they offered complimentary bread to take home with my food. The tagliatelle carbonara was rich and cheesy without being overpowering. It was honestly filling to the point I could have saved some for later, but too delicious to put down. Would highly recommend the food here and will have to dine in at some point.“

“This Pizza Market is very Clean and Family friendly this is my 1st time trying there food and there Chicken Caesar Wrap was a 10 out of 10 lot of flavors and very fresh I will be coming back for sure when I am in the area thank you so much!!!!!“
