39 Best Italian Restaurants near Ashland

“First time customers, all 9 of us. Despite having a large party, our waitress, Ruth, took excellent care of us. As did the kitchen. We ordered cocktails, wine, appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts- a wide sampling of the menu. Everyone raved about their food, that is was quiet so we could hear each other, that the service was quick and accurate, and that the portions were huge. All got to enjoy their meals a second time (Ruth wrapped our leftovers for each of us). We all agreed that we will be back.“

“Expertly prepared seafood! Grilled foods are cooked to perfection always! Outstanding pizza varieties. Salads are always freshly bedded with crispy lettuce with premium ingredients atop! Subs are excellent, and the pasta dinners could potentially feed two. The entire menu is a gastronomical dream come true for this type of fare! I can wholeheartedly recommend the fried haddock with extra crispy fries or the grilled steak and chicken combo with crispy fries plus a side of their tasty rice! Prices can be a little more than pre-covid days but honestly, for the quality of the food and the speed of service I have no problem paying a little more, besides, we get to support a local business and that I believe is important during these trying times! Cheers to you!“

“Our sever Scott was truly amazing. We never had to wait, he was so attentive and friendly. it was a as if we were in a restaurant in the North End, because made it such a personalized experience! We will definitely be coming back to Framingham Bertuccis!“

“I've been going to Gene's since I was about 11, so 1981!!!! Of course, back then, it was for candy and soda, lol!! As I got older, I realized what a hidden gem it truly is! They have great subs and pretty much anything Italian. Not just the deli but stocked on the shelves as well. I don't make sauce because theirs is so good. Makes my life easier to boot! Thank you Gene's. Everyone who works there is very nice and wicked happy to help. Every time I go in, it brings back memories of walking to the pool and stopping at Gene's on our way there. I've never been disappointed or dissatisfied with anything I've gotten here! That's a lot over 42 years. Just sayin lol!“

“This place is an absolute gem. The employees are extremely friendly and welcoming. My family has just recently moved to the area and have eaten here a few times. Every time the food has been top notch. I highly recommend this place to anyone who lives nearby or stops in for a meal ???“

“Thought the waiter was top notch, we had 14 people in our party, a few provided feedback on what they ordered. The fish tacos were underwhelming, lacked flavor as did the chicken Marcello which was very bland. The fish and chips were a big surprise, large portion of fish, rather than the typical large portion of fries! My seafood with angle hair pasta was good, but a bit too much oil, and scollops were slightly over cooked, but I would order it again.“

“Always something here to explore. Love the subs and dinners. And I always find great little gems that I either haven't seen in years or have never seen on the shelves that I like to try too. I love that it's within my walking distance in Natick center too. Great place to get lunch for sure! Try them if you havent had a chance yet. Recommend to all.“

“Giovanni’s takes the definition of amazing, phenomenal, out of this world- and tops it times 1,000,000. The Greek Salad Wrap with Chicken absolutely healed my heart, soul, and muscles with the amount of chicken, they did not skimp! But nothing on the menu would disappoint you. Literally… nothing. Brian is truly the epitome of what a business owner should be. Customer service is top notch. GO TO GIOVANNIS AND FIND YOUR NEW FAVORITE PIZZA PLACE!“

“Quaint , clean atmosphere, with small pleasant bar area.No skimping on the liquor in cocktails here . Our waitress Shayna was pleasant, explained all the specials and attentive without hovering. My wife ordered first , a piece of fillet with potato purée and a red wine Demi glaze. My turn, panicked as I had 4 meals in my head that all sounded excellent but went with the classic veal Parmesan with homemade Rigatoni that is a huge upgrade from dry pasta . Veal was so tender , no knife required with well seasoned breading . The fillet was also tender, and well seasoned, she gave me 1 little bite? . If Tuscan onion soup is available when you visit here , GET IT !!! . Fantastic Italian take on French onion soup that was 10 time better. I rarely write reviews but this was a great meal . Folks you gotta try this place“

“Food was delicious! We had a little bit of everything since my whole family decided we wanted some sandwiches. We ordered 2 Italian sandwiches, 2 pizzas, 1 cheeseburger, chicken wings and fries, and a ready to go pasta. Needless to say everyone had a piece of everything. My family loved the food and can’t wait to come back!“

“Delicious food! So many good choices it was hard to decide. "Fire and Ice" with chicken, shrimp carbonara, chicken calabria were all yummy. Delicious infused vodka and some "unusual suspects" for beers. Food and drinks came quickly and food was steaming hot. Would definitely come again. Right off the highway so great place to try if you're passing through.“

“The food has always been excellent and the service, impeccable. I've met the owner several times throughout the years and he is just a very kind, welcoming man. As is the entire staff. Always look forward to going to my favorite restaurant in Framingham!“

“Chill Kitchen and Bar in Boston really came through for our youth hockey team and parents. They handled the chaos like pros. The food options were fantastic, cocktails were on point, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a go-to spot for a laid-back, delicious experience!“

“This place is outrageous. They have the best pizza it is so hot and crispy. It is impeccable.It is so immaculate I definitely recommend this place if you want to satisfy your tummyThis place has such nice prices and they have the best employees“

“Pizza by Rocco is a culinary delight for Italian pizza enthusiasts. The flavors are a symphony for the taste buds, with each slice offering a perfect blend of fresh ingredients. The crust is perfectly crisp, providing a delightful crunch with every bite. Beyond the delectable pizza, their customer service is impeccable, creating an overall satisfying dining experience. Highly recommended for pizza connoisseurs seeking an authentic and flavorful treat.“

“The pizza is amazing!! Besides that I took my 79 yr old father and you can stay and eat. It’s handicap accessible. Bubba’s pizza is out of this world and his staff is so friendly and courteous. I recommend this place to kids and adults of all ages!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Feel great space, with excellent service, and food you'll have to work hard to find better recipes. I mean it! You'll remember what you had, and that it was great! Looking forward to my next meal at Linguine's. Also, probably the best pizza outside of Boston.“

“The food is excellent and the service efficient. The ambiance is that of most pizza places but don't let that deter you from this place! Carlos is personable and let us in on his philosophy. Give good quality food at a good price and people will appreciate it. I didn't just appreciate it, I LOVED IT! I think Carlos has the right recipe! Make sure you try the dynamite sticks!!“

“We had a delicious dinner tonight!Not only was the service wonderful, but our friend is handicapped and CARLOS, (manager) and another gentleman were so kind to help her out to the car. I can’t thank you enough for your compassion,LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!“

“What can I say but WICKED GOOD! I am from Phoenix, Arizona and this pizza is to die for. In Arizona it is rare to find even mediocre pizza let alone this deliciously intoxicating pie that melts in your mouth and tastes like a little bit of heaven. It is not oily or to salty. The crust is the perfect thickness and both crisp and chewy. I come out to visit my BFF several times a year and I never miss an opportunity (actually at least 3 opportunities) to have pizza at Marinho's. In fact I always take 1 home on the plane for my kids who request it when they know I will be in the area. If I could give a higher rating I would! Stop by you will not be disappointed.“

“Pretty much as good as it gets for an American Italian restaurant and Pizzeria. Friendly service pairs with good food, including many American Italian staples. An interesting feature are the wine lockers one can rent at the entrance, sometimes with interesting content in there.“

“One of my favorite Italian spots. Not only is the food good but the ambience service and music is a night to remember. But pace yourself because you get a lot of food and every table gets a variety of bread, cheese salami and cauliflower that's all pretty tasty and worth trying if you aren't a fan. I love the Mario's meatballs and the lasagna is the best, even though they are famously known for the spicy rigatoni, oh and I can't leave out the veal Parmesan.“

“This restaurant is absolutely delicious! We came in after a long day of traveling, and were immediately welcomed in. Within 15 minutes, we were served delicious food. The garlic bread was tasty, buttery, and extremely cheesy. We got a cheese pizza that had just the right amount of crunch and cheese with a flavorful sauce. The buffalo chicken calzone was great as well, hot and cheesy with a perfect ratio of ingredients. Both had large portions and were cheap for the amount of food. The staff were friendly as well, and always willing to help! I’d definitely recommend to anyone in the area or anyone looking for a bite to eat just a couple minutes off the Mass Pike.“

“These guys are amazing! They accidentally forgot to add an extra topping to my medium pizza and when I confronted them over the phone, they politely apologized and said to come back and pick up the correct order. Food is authentic and fresh. Fresh Wings too I highly recommend this restaurant 10/10!! ????????“

“I've ordered from here a few times and plan to order again. Slightly pricey, but that's the cost of ordering out. The butter chicken is very good - the sauce is great to dip the naan in. The rice is tasty and the vegetable samosas are really good. I tried one of their pizzas once and it was just ok for my taste preference.“

“If anyone has a problem with their food… just tell them. We’ve been going since they opened and that’s a longggg time. It’s just good food. Good basic food. Clean. Fresh. Affordable.We like the pizza, the cheese hamburger sub, and Greek salad. Often we get the chicken Alfredo and that’s very good.It’s a pizza place. You can sit and eat. We often do. Today, given prices and quality, we rank this one of the area’s best.They’re friendly, and service I always good. It can get very busy.We HIGHLY recommend.“

“It's the only Italian place in medway and its holding their own, it's a quick little place to eat if you live on the west side of Medway and even if you don't it's still a great place to eat. I'd rate the food 8.5/10 it's not the best thing I've ever had but it's still really good and they get the food ready very quickly.“

“We loved our meal on Friday night. It was so wonderful to have Jessica wait on us. We were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy our meal. The service was excellent and Jessica should not only get a raise but should also be considered for leadership positions because you want someone who leads by example. Thanks for the great meal and great service. We’ll be back.“

“Hi folks! I just had to send a shout out to Evivva Trattoria, Bartender Sammy and Manager Eric (I think that was his name). As usual, I was trying to decide what to order and I was telling Sammy that I really miss the Lobster & Shrimp Risotto. Sammy said she would ask the chef if he could make it for me because they added lobster back to the menu. The answer was "yes"!What arrived was way more than I could have asked for!!! Apparently, Sammy put in the order as a Veggie Risotto with an add on of Lobster and Shrimp. OH MY GOSH....AMAZING!!I told Sammy it was a top TWO meal I have ever had (I'm a great cook myself and super picky about Risotto...something I don't make). She went back to send my compliments to the chef and the manager came out to hear more....and then comped me and my husband a round of drinks (because they ran out of the Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding that was scrolling on the screen above us).I ordered the half portion and the price was $26. I felt that was fair because I used to pay $19 for the Lobster & Shrimp Risotto (without the sautéed spinach, asparagus, plum tomatoes etc.) I stuffed myself and still had enough to take home and enjoy again!!!If you want the ultimate indulgence, head on over to Evivva Trattoria, sit at the bar and ask for Sammy or Eric and then order the "Judy Special". Or just order the Veggie Risotto with Lobster & Shrimp!!“

“Everything was GREAT! You absolutely should set-up a reservation; we made one for 4:30P and the place was about 80% filled within 30-45 minutes. We went with the boat to try several entrees (photo didn't come out but you can see some in the tortellini pic). No complaints on anything. We enjoyed the dim atmosphere, quick service, and grabbed some desserts to go. Best cannolis I've had!*Tortellini pic (at the top) has some of the boat entrees we got. We went with the salmon and chicken parm in addition to the tortellini and lasagna.“

“I came here with a group at 9pm on a Friday. We were able to put 3 tables together. Our food came out in stages based on what was ready first. The pastels were excellent. I prefer the chicken and cheese. I had the Super Gauchão Burger with steak. OMG it is tremendous--I have to bring half of it home. The X-Burger and chicken salad wrap are great. I tried caldo de cana, sugar cane juice, and it was so refreshing! I have to come back for the fried chicken and the Brazilian hot dog.Parking: Street parking in a residential neighborhood“

“We got pizza and subs there pretty much all the time and it's great the pizzas are awesome ?Parking: Easy to get to employment parking front and backWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs have no problem I'm disabled myself but I use a cane“

“Good food, good people.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available when requested.Kid-friendliness: very kid friendlyParking: Parking is never a problem, and there are too many to countWheelchair accessibility: The whole store is fully wheelchair accessible“

“My boyfriend was in town for a couple of weeks and I had been on the search for a New York style pizza. I took him to a few places, even Regina's, but nope he didn't like any until we came to Giorgio's on his last day here. He took his first bite of a slice of pepperoni and joy came over him, he'd found his perfect NY slice in Massachusetts. The perfect crisp crust, and ratio of sauce to cheese, this pizza is pretty epic. I'm so thankful we've found our go to spot!!“

“I've been going to TC Lando since I was in high school and that's 45 years ago. The pizzas fantastic and the subs are out of this world world. They deserve the five stars. I'm gonna over them. Good service great takeout. Decent prices for these days. You get a lot of food for your money.“

“Note: This is our first visit since the change in ownership. We've been a few times previously and always enjoyed our visit. One of the draws to this place was Keno, and I'm sorry to report that it's gone. Finito. Gonzo. What the hell... That is all.“

“Used SLICE to order two pizzas for pick up. The Fromagia and House Special were our picks for our Friday night pizza bash. Both were being pulled from the oven at the time they were promised and made it home fresh and hot. What could be better. IOHO best pizza in Millis!“

“Great Buffalo chicken calzone ! The chicken was fresh tasting and the filling reached all the way to the edge, (ask for it well done if you like crispy). Prices are comparable to other local pizza options .Ordering through their online portal will require a $1.95 delivery fee as well as a $1.25 technology fee.“

“This place is fabulous! My favorite so far is the chicken stir fry wrap with cheese, peppers, onions, hots and teriyaki sauce and it's always cooked to perfection, hot and fresh and HUGE! They're always super nice and always get my order right!“
