29 Best Italian Restaurants near Auburn

“So Jen B or as our family has termed her, BAB, or Jenny from the BLOCK is an amazing waitress!! This lady deserves a medal for her customer service and respect she has for the LGBTQ community!We were there this past Saturday in town for a concert for our son Olly. This place was busy as all get out and she was ON IT with our food and drinks. She also has a deep respect for people who just want to be who they are. My kid had a picture show up on his Facebook memories pre-transition which also happened to be my fave pic of little him. We showed Jen B and we all had talked about this journey about life and identity. She was so accepting and great at her job.The food and drink was amazing and prompt considering how busy it was especially. Olly loved the mocktails!We look foward to visiting again if our travels take us anywhere in that vicinity again!“

“The server we had last night was the biggest jerk and should be fired. We left after being clearly discriminated by your staff. We’ve been coming here for years but will never be back after yesterday’s experience. Ricardo was a complete jerk and should not be in the restaurant business.“

“Attended bridal shower and it was perfect from beginning to end. Everyone complemented the food, service was excellent and all flowed so smoothly. Will be back to try out the restaurant!“

“We were pleasantly surprised how great this place was. We stopped off on our mini road trip. Will was very friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend coming here. Great greek salad and pizza from our personal experience of what we ordered. Huge menu! Enjoy ?“

“Posted a long review on Yelp. Short story…. You don’t need to go to Worcester, North End or Federal Hill for great pizza. Who would have ever thought it would come to Sutton? Best pizza around by far! Great staff as well!“

“Good glutten free options and nice place to have a meal“

“My first visit was today. I ordered the veal parm pasta dinner and a side of toasted ravioli. Omg! Delicious. Called in the order for pick up. The place was hopping, service excellent and great vibe. I definitely will be coming back“

“We hired Bird’s Nest Italian Street Food truck for our daughter’s college graduation party this weekend. It couldn’t have been any better! We had food for 63 people served right in our driveway. Working with Michael was a cinch. We exchanged some emails and booked a deposit easily online. He promptly answered any questions I had. Everyone loved the selection and commented how fun it was to have a food truck at the party. It also gave my husband and me the opportunity to enjoy time with all of our guests. Everything was provided, we just needed a trash can for disposal of the paper boats and utensils that our guests ate clean! We loved the experience and I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a stress free party!“

“My first time at Via's recently and I am impressed! Although pricey, which is to br expected, the food all had amazing flavor profiles. I absolutely loved the ricotta ball with crustinis, the blend of cheese with the honey topping was the perfect bite. The chicken orzo soup was quite possibly the best soup I have ever had in my life! So flavorful and rich! And the drinks were perfection. To top the night, we had the Gelato cones, and the Gelato it's self tasted like it was straight from Italy. Creamy, but light, indulgent and flavorful! I can't wait to come back!!“

“Great dining experience, authentic Italian food and great service.“

“Food was delicious“

“Food is always great and staff is very friendly and polite.“

“We LOVED our first order from WPF and it will certainly not be our last! The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. HIGHLY recommend.“

“Great place for a quick lunch. Salad, soup, and pasta servings are generous. Sandwiches are very good. Fresh soups made daily, staple is checked orzo and there are new soups daily too. Sandwiches at $6/7, soup is $3/6. Sold soup and sandwich meal for $10 - can't beat it.“

“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner/welcome party upstairs at Nuovo in August of 2022 which included almost 100 people. We could not be happier with our choice!!! The food and drinks are excellent and the staff are so hard-working and friendly. The owners are phenomenal and genuinely care about the happiness and satisfaction of their guests. We discussed our vision for the evening with Loreta in advance and she sure did help us achieve it. We had our own bar and servers, as well as a solo live singer we hired who they were easily able to accommodate. Loreta was incredibly responsive, kind, helpful, and patient. My family and I have also had dinner here and we just can’t say enough about how wonderful our several experiences have been. We will absolutely make the trip to Worcester to go back. Huge thanks to Loreta and all the other amazing staff for helping us create beautiful memories. We would HIGHLY recommend Nuovo to anyone!!“

“My husband and I sat at the bar. Bartender was great. Very attentive, great personality. Interacted with a few waitresses that were all very personable! Food was on point. We had classic calamari which was cooked perfect and was lightly battered. Very tasty. We both ordered the Nashville chicken tacos and they were amazing! Dessert drinks were delicious! Apple martini and skrewy White Russian. Highly recommend!!“

“I love it here the food is amazing it’s always fresh! 10/10 recommend“

“This location is a treasure trove! My go-to order and fave is the french toast with banana foster. The personnel is quite amiable! It is a great family-run business! You won't be let down if you visit this place, I guarantee it! Do try it out! You'll become a regular, just like the majority of their clients and us!“

“Hands down the best meatball subs anywhere. Kenny once said it was a recipe handed down from his grandmother.“

“Cheese ravioli with meatballs & sausage so delicious. Side of eggplant with fresh Italian bread made this meal even better!“

“I visited here December 4, 2023. I had a delicious scallop and haddock mix over fettacchini with a spicy sauce that was to rave about. Not sure when I will get to Worcester, MA again but I will definitely visit La Cuchina. As a bonus, my server was a gentle soul, Michael. Extremely attentive and generous with his time and suggestions. He is expecting his first child, so if you are so lucky to have him serve you, please be generous, as we all know the expense of a new child. Michael have a blessed day! -James Dalton“

“Dinner on Wednesday, chicken special was amazing. Dinner Thursday was the antipasto and pizza special! Best pizza I have had in awhile. The cheese was delicious and we ordered the Mama pizza, ricotta, eggplant, cheese, and meatball. We asked they add red sauce and they did. Both of us enjoyed it. Waitstaff both night were there every time you finished something, polite, attentive and it was a pleasure to see quick service. After COVID most restaurants don’t have enough help, not here, no waiting at all. Food was a 10 out of 10!!“

“Tried for the first time the other night- half potato skin half steak&cheese pizza- was thoroughly impressed! Very tasty, tender, seasoned steak and the crust was almost to good to give any piece to my begging dog (ultimately giving in and he approved). Price was right, called in and ready in the correct given time (20 minutes). This will now be our regular pizza place!“

“Very good pizza and excellent turkey grinder. We ordered pick up and they had the food hot and ready for us to grab right on time. Pizza was a very good version of Greek style, so a slightly thicker crust. The turkey grinder was toasted with a ton of thick slices of deli turkey and the lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion were all fresh and crisp for a great sandwich. A large grinder is definitely two meal's worth! This isn't mind-blowing amazing food, but what they do they do very well. I would be happy to order from again.“

“We went on a busy Saturday night, it was busy but good. I tried a XO Chocolate Martini, it was strong and basically tasted like straight up vodka with a hint of chocolate. They took that drink back and made me a strawberry daiquiri, that was much better. My sirloin steak tips were cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes were good as well. All in all a great place to eat dinner.“

“Very very good . Fast and friendly service!My veal was fabulous!!“

“I made a reservation a week in advance and was seated right on time. The experience was fantastic! I ordered the baked haddock with fluffy mashed potatoes and a sautéed veggie medley, and it was absolutely delicious. The duck and beef tips my companions ordered were equally impressive - cooked to perfection and smothered in a creamy half mashed bean sauce. The prices were reasonable, though some dishes were a bit on the expensive side. Our waitress was attentive and checked on us regularly. While the covid precautions were not strictly enforced and tables were placed next to each other, the food and presentation were amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Italian food.“

“I don’t eat a lot of pizza but decided to splurge yesterday and it was a fantastic decision. Easily one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a very long while, maybe ever!“
