15 Best Italian Restaurants in Manchester

“Food excellentService excellentAtmosphere very loud in the dining room . The bar is a lot quieter but the people arming in to get a drink while they wait for a table, makes it uncomfortable to dine at the bar. Usually it's not a big deal , but passing martinis over your shoulder gets old and messy.“

“This is a great restaurant! We shared the baked brie...delicious. My wife had the short ribs while I ordered the bolognese. Both were very generous portions and excellent in taste. Our server was friendly and professional. Lots of choices in downtown Manchester, but I highly recommend the North End Bistro.“

“Cozy restaurant with servicers who care about you by intimate table conversations as they check in on your meals. Delicious food, high end meals by chef and owner who strive to tantalize your taste buds. Our 6 year grandson devoured every bite! Vegans come on in! We hate appetizers thru dessert. Martini drinks a nice clean accent to the meal.“

“Yum!!! I ate my food too fast to take pictures. Yummy garlic bread, Greek salad (need more dressing for such a nice, large salad) and phenomenal chicken broccoli. Can't wait to try other menu items. All the staff were so kind and friendly“

“Easily the best sandwiches my friend and I have had in a while! I had the special, which was a "smothered chicken wrap". Best loaded chicken wrap I've had! My friend got the Reuben. Portions and proportions were exceptional. Perfect lunch! Thank you so much!!!“

“I went with my family this past weekend. Our server was Heather. I have never had better service. She was hilarious and attentive. The food came out promptly. The red sauce is incredible. And of course dessert. The best part was to die for! Our server really made the experience! Will be returning for more cocktails. I was pleasantly surprised at their craft cocktails. Highly recommend. Perfect for family or date nights.“

“There's not a lot of great restaurant choices in Manchester. However, Mangia is a true diamond in the rough. I can be hyper critical of Italian restaurants because I grew up in a very traditional Italian American family. It's hard to beat Grandma's cooking. Mangia feels like home; small, intimate, warm and friendly service, and every thing made from scratch. I am SO happy to have found this wonderful Italian restaurant. We will be frequenting it for as long as we live in New Hampshire.“

“My daughter and I read good reviews on this place and tried it tonight. I got the margarita pizza and my daughter got the hamburger, it was suppose to come with onion rings, which we were looking forward to trying, but they gave fries instead. Unless, we misunderstood, that was the only glitch. The customer service was great! And food ready when we arrived. Very tasty food and we got fried dough cinnamon sugar bites and they too were great! We will be back and recommend this place! Hard to find a good pizza around here lately.“

“Ordered a “flight of pies” for Pi day. The pies were tasty and nicely decorated, but also overpriced for the size and quality of the pies. Five small pies that are nearly bite sized for $30 is not worth it.The interior of the restaurant could definitely use some TLC. Minimal seating inside that isn’t very inviting.Parking: Street parking around restaurant. Most of it is free but time-restricted parkingKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible“

“At Oliver Garbler’s Bread and Pasta Factory, you are family right when you walk through the Italian themed doors! And not the uncle Joe who makes you play a football game at thanksgiving but then gets competitive and not the great aunt who pinches your cheek and tells you about the time you took a number two in a diaper, this is GOOD family, it’s like being back at your good ol papas franks place and your nostrils will give you a big hug of fresh bread that they’re always churning out back! The man who runs fast was there and we tried to figure out where death will take us into the great beyond (Oklahoma?) and also how airplanes fly (magic) and we got the same dinner because no need to make life simple. They say the breadsticks are endless but these on this night were all about eight inches or so - the taste is endless and it is good very good!! We saw police, doctor, both small. We did not play games because there were no darts and we are dart-minded fellas, but if you like playing cars or trivia or maybe bowling you’ll enjoy the gametop video game experience (no AI, get your mind out the gutter!) if you can pull yourself off the bowling you can pay there too. My fast buddy can do finance so he balanced th e checks for us and we were on to the next. The wal mart nearby has good bandana selection if you need that too. Anyone got their pool opened?“

“Greeted very politely from the kind hostess to begin the evening. We were seated and waited on by Katie. Katie was very polite and sweet. Great experience from the minute we walked in to the minute we said goodnight. Great offerings and kind service, mixed with delicious filling food, and very relaxing entertaining live music led to a great evening and overall experience! Thanks Tello’s“

“Simple sandwich where the thinly sliced veggies and a bit of oil shine. The cheese is perfect a bit sour and salty. Cooking is science and anyone can throw down an Italian, but most don't have any complexity of flavors that the Original does. That said the Exeter franchise is terrible.....Portsmouth, Dover, Concord are the best closely followed by Epsom Circle and Raymond. Even in a simple sandwich rules are to be followed. Don't ask if I want mayonnaise or which veggies on an original. C'mon man Phil is rolling in his grave.“

“First time going tonight. Went with husband and 48 yr old son on his recommendation. It was very good. Got there about 6ish. 20-30 minute wait. Had a drink at the bar . The Espresso Martini was great.Got seated on time. Tuesdays are very busy for them as the special pricing is awesome.The pizza was really good. The service very good. For us three who are all in the food industry this spot is a hit.Thank you 900 for working so hard. We will be back.“

“We stopped by for an old favorite for take out. We ordered our usual Popeye's Revenge calzone (Broccoli, cheese and spices) and a Chef Salad. A few years ago the Popeye's Revenge started to taste different (maybe cheaper ingredients due to increased costs). Still good but not the same. Last night was a pleasant surprise as both of us commented that the flavor was closer to the original taste than it had been in a long while.As far as the Chef's Salad it was good but lately they have been using a different type of lettuce. Also the size is shrunk. Still a good salad but again not the same.The Ugli Stix continue to be delicious!“

“This place is amazing - I loved it and the food is so delicious ? here. Welcome with bread rolls and olive oil is yummy. In particular the Award winning- fresh on table salad ? preparation is fabulous. I like the way the dressing is made fresh from nice ingredients without any preservatives is a nice touch. It can easily serves two adults - I had it in the restaurant and took away for next day breakfast it was still good.Vegetarian options: Have a decent amount of vegetarian ? optionsParking: Paid street Parking ?️ we tried few near by areas and found it $1 for two hours. Or alternatively you have a public parking ?️ for $8Kid-friendliness: Yes it is - you have a high chair for kids“
