“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.“

“Absolutely best pizza in Billerica, eating here for over 18 years. Amazing quality, staff is awesome and hilarious! This is the pizza I always compare others to because it delicious! A must try!!Kid-friendliness: Family owned always a fun, funny interaction!Parking: Huge parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Ramps on sidewalk no stairs“
“The food is fabulous. Better than alot of top restaurants. The atmosphere is simple but it keeps the prices down. When you go into an expensive Italian place you pay for the atmosphere. Strombolis you pay for the yummy food. And the owner is behind the counter cooking & always greats with a smile HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this to anyone whi wants good food, generous portions & a very reasonable price.Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian options from pasta dushes, salads, pizzas, calzone, etc etc. One of the largest non all vegetarian restaurants with a huge huge vegetarian selection. Also they do special orders. Im a big bug vegetarian lover & this is one of the few local places that offers such a huge selectionParking: Easy to get in and out of“
“It was my first time going there, I ordered take out over the phone and went to pick it up. They were really professional, and the food tasted great. Place was also clean will definitely be going back to dine in.Parking: It's free parking and plenty of it 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.“
“My fiancé and I hosted our first family meet and greet dinner here on a Saturday evening. They typically wouldn’t have allowed us to do this due to the space constraints and the busyness of the restaurant, however, we got so lucky to be able to secure a date! The food was so delicious and the restaurant staff + owner (Cristiano) were so lovely! Thank you so much for a beautiful first time family experience! We will be back!!!“
“I flew home to Boston from Milwaukee to surprise my mum for her 70th birthday. We had about 14 people and had one of the best dining experiences I think I’ve ever had. I believe our waitress name was Conchetta and she was so unbelievable. Amazing personality and made my entire family feel so great from the moment we got there.Food was fantastic, atmosphere was fun upbeat and inviting. We were the last people to leave tonight (I had no idea they closed at 9pm) and Conchetta was so great about it being my mum’s birthday and making sure she had a memorable experience.I have never been here before but I can’t wait to come back next time I’m home (probably June)Thank you again.“
“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!“
“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!“
“We ❤️ Al fresco s. Fine fresh Italian cuisine. The best in town . They got a market also that you can grab some pre made lunch or dinners. Also so fresh. Call place your order you pick it up then. Lil shopping at market ?Parking: Alfresco s is very busy but they have off street parking. You don't wait more than a few minutes for a spot. People are dining in there s pickups then shopping at the market but the turn around is pretty fast so no worries ?“
“Recently hosted a bereavement meal at Tremezzo for the grandmother. Everything ran very smoothly and the food was excellent. Margie did an incredible job. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns leading up to the function.“
“Excellent service- I had the chicken Marsala $18.00with $2 up charge for the homemade pasta. It was really good. My daughter really enjoyed the meatball sub. The waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu. The desserts looked amazing but we were too full from the lunch. The coffee, it's not a new pot it's a keurig of some kind so I passed on the after dinner coffee.“
“The tasting menu was delicious and the wine pairings perfection. Our waitstaff attentive and knowledgeable and friendly but never overbearing. We are and have been fans of this place since it opened and are thrilled that it remains so good and so popular“

“The staff is always great. From friendly reception and hosts and every server we have ever had. Jackie is especially great and thank her for being attentive to our requests. Always friendly and appreciative of us dining there. The Lamb Shank special and Lobster Fra Diavlo was fantastic.“
“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 went here for my birthday dinner on a Monday. We sat at the bar booth. This place was the perfect spot and I will undoubtedly be returning. The owner curates a perfect little safe haven for guests. The music was phenomenal, service outstanding, food to die for, drinks exquisite, and atmosphere classy. My new go to Italian. For apps we got the arancini (must try), wagyu carpaccio (must try), melanzane fritti, for dinner arugula salad, tagliatelle alla genovese (must try), burrata ravioli (must try), and for dessert the apple filled doughnuts (must try). It will be so unbelievably hard for me to return and not order the same exact menu items but I also can’t wait to sample every inch of this menu.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“As someone who worked at Angelina's in high school as my first job, I still love coming here for dinner as it has a family atmosphere and delicious food. The martinis are the cheapest in Tewksbury but they don't cheap out on the liquor. I highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious Italian food at reasonable Prices“
“I picked the place at random because it was close to where I was staying and I'm glad I did. The staff is efficient and friendly. The menu offers quite a few choices for such a small place. And the food is excellent. I had the scallops the first night. They were quite fresh and well prepared. Tonight I'm having the muffuletta and it too is delicious.“
“Went for dinner on a quiet Wednesday night. Had the mussels as an appetizer - flavor profile was really good. Both entrees were very well prepared and tasty. Had the seafood entrée with gnocchi. The gnocchi were delicious. They say all their pasta is made in house, and I could tell the gnocchi were handmade and fresh, not commercially prepared. A big plus! The other entrée was with linguine, again made in house. Big plus #2!!“
“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.“
“I've been going to Mario's for probably 20 years and for standard, economical Italian fare it can't be beat. No reservations taken; in Lexington you go to the sign-in book, put down your name and the # in your party, and wait to be called. Long time customers know the best times to go to get seated right away; be prepared to wait most weekends at dinner time. I've sampled several things on the menu and my go-tos are either chicken parm with meat sauce (you can get everything marinara if you prefer) served with shells (you can choose spaghetti if you prefer) or pizza (best sauce ever) loaded with sausage, extra cheese, onions and black olives. All the portions are plentiful (I always take half home for leftovers) and always tasty. I've had the lasagna, which is huge but lacking in enough sauce for me (I'd order extra sauce if I were to get it again) and the ravioli which I have no complaints about. Bread is served to the table in the form of fresh rolls. I often get a side salad for dinner and did so last night. It's usually fresh and tasty but for some reason at 5pm the salad I served was limp and tasteless. Maybe left over from another day? The service is impeccable. The waitstaff take orders, deliver to tables, keep track of who's waiting to be seated and deliver them to a table when one becomes available. Orders are taken quickly, food is delivered hot. Fun fact: often during the summer students on vacation are working there, which makes for fun small talk. As you can imagine Mario's appeals to everyone; families, couples, singles, so don't expect a quiet, romantic ambiance where you can have a leisurely meal and a private discussion. When full the place is very lively. There is a large metered parking lot (2 hr max) directly behind the restaurant and a larger one behind that if you want to, say, also go to the Lexington Venue (movie theater) or visit the many shops in Lexington Center.“
“This neighborhood pizza spot is a convenient option when you’re wanting a pie and friendly service. I’ve had the Caliente, Capitol, and Daniella pizzas here in the past and while the crust is good, I will say the toppings are plentiful and they bake them under the cheese. This seems small but keeps everything from sliding off your slice. There are plenty of pizza options on the menu, available in 12” or 16”, and all at a reasonable price! The people behind the counter are always nice and there are a few small tables if you want to dine in.“
“We had a great experience at Bertuccis! Our server was Sharmin, and she was extremely nice and was always making sure we had everything we needed. Not only did we get free roles, but we got an entire free large pizza for ordering another pizza! Overall Bertuccis is amazing and we will definetly be returning :)“
“I've been eating there for 30 years. There must be new owners the food is still good and the subs are still huge but the prices are also huge and they don't give you as much as they used too . However I enjoyed my large chicken cutlet sub that was supposed to be toasted with extra cheese however no extra cheese not toasted it was still good. The ends of the sub roll completely empty no meat.“

“This place is truly an Arlington gem. The chicken parm sub is a steal. it’s much fuller than it needs to be, but that’s because the people here are so loving and generous towards their customers.But my favorite is their spinach and cheese calzone. I ate it in one sitting - need I say more?This place is a hole in the wall, comforting, good neighborhood joint. It does the people of Arlington proud.“
“I attended a birthday party at A Tavola on Saturday night and experienced a delicious meal.The service ,as always,was attentive to every detail from cocktails to cake and cannoli. The appetizers included Roasted Egglpant,Speck,Lobster Bisque,and Insalata. That was followed by a choice of (my favorite)Parmesan Ravioli, Ribeye, Swordfish, or Ragu Bolognese. And for the partygoers that still had room...dessert consisted of Birthday cake, Cannoli and cookies! I would highly recommend A Tavola and all it has to offer for your next birthday/holiday party!“
“Great little pizza place in a good location. friendly help behind the counter and slices ready to go with good variety. Nice little seating area with big windows. five stars not because it's fancy like the four seasons, five stars because it's in the top class of pizza places in the greater metro area.“
“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!!“
“Yummy yummy pasta night! My bf surprised me by bringing me to this nice and cozy Italian restaurant in Arlington heights on Saturday night. It wasn't too busy so we were lucky to get a table. They only have a few tables so making a reservation would be a good idea. Soon after we were seated people started showing up and the tables were starting to fill up. We were served complimentary bread and olive oil which was very good while we decided on our dish. They had a few specials that were not on the menu and sounded delicious but we decided to try their shrimp pasta and their chicken cacciatore. We also ordered the house Nina salad which had delicious pears and a light and tangy vinaigrette dressing. The waiter was very nice and I also think he was the cook since you could see into the kitchen and there were only two people behind the counter.Our pasta dishes came out nice and hot and we quickly devoured them. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the shrimp were nice and juicy and fully peeled. The shrimp pasta had a nice lemony and tangy flavor and there was plenty of sauce. The chicken cacciatore was also very good. The chicken was nice and tender and the pasta was super flavorful. They were even kind enough to bring us more bread so we could finish our sauces! We will definitely be back!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Everything about this place (except the staff) was a mixed bag. I had a chicken parm sub, a chicken parm calzone, and a pepperoni pizza.The chicken parm sub, the chicken was a little too juicy, strange problem I know, but the cutlets were too thick, so they held a lot of moisture and made the bread soggy. Their marinara is pretty thin too, not my favorite, but that's definitely a preference kind of thing. The bread is all fresh baked, and the parts that weren't soggy were absolutely fantastic.The pizza was nice and crispy, fairly thin. good balance of the cheese sauce and greasiness from the pepperoni. But somehow it just didn't have a lot of flavor. It wasn't awful, it just wasn't great. I mostly blame the sauce, it just didn't have a lot going on with it.The calzone..... well it was inedible by the time I got home. 100% a me thing, but I've got a lot of sensory issues when it comes to food. I hate super greasy stuff on my fingers, and there are certain goopy textures that will induce a gag reflex on me. They do the classic italian style calzones as opposed to your typical pizza place style. It looked great. But they put some garlic butter or oil or something on top of it. So I already don't want to touch the thing, but I used a fork to try and eat it anyways. The top of it has such a thin layer of dough (which is usually a great sign with calzones), which you normally expect to be slightly crispy and chewy. But the butter or oil or whatever it is just turned that thin dough into a nasty soft mushy goop that I just couldn't eat.I really, really wish that they would ask if customers want that, because it isn't really something I expect on a calzone and it looked so great.“
“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.“
“We've been coming here for years and they are super consistent with good quality food and good service. My kids think their pizza is best in town. I love the steak or chicken salads, the fresh pita bread on the side is also a favorite.“
“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 .“
“Always so happy to come here! I work a few buildings down, and the smell when I get out of work is always amazing. I finally asked my husband to take me here and we were not disappointed. Food is always well-seasoned, tasty, and the portions are well sized. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and we love our girl Julia ?“
“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!“
“Dietary restrictions: Just tell them if you have dietary restrictions or just want it another way. They are very friendly and will do whatever they can for you. Works for families, groups, or dates, young old or handicapped. The food is wonderful and there is something for everyone.“
“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.“
“The food was good, service was only ok. Lot to choice from the menu. So I picked Bibimbap, a dish I always want to try because all the K drama always eat that. I had the most expensive seafood bibimbap for $17. It has shrimps, scallops, squid, and mussels with the spicy sauce ?“
“Very cute and friendly spot… really good warm falafel sandwich!! Tip from the guy behind the counter: do not order through the middle man company that comes up with “order online” on Google… go directly to their website!Vegetarian options: Delicious falafel sandwich!Parking: 15 min street spots just outside“
“I came here for lunch and had the season special Chicken Pesto Melt sandwiche.Limited drink options but they do offer free water.My sandwich was absolutely delicious. It had two chicken cutlets!They have gluten-free options but also disclaimer that cross contamination is possible as non-gluten things are made in the same spaces.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Always a fantastic experience at Lucia's Winchester! The food is delicious and service impeccable. Feels like coming home as soon as you walk through the door and are greeted by Mary. She's a gem! Rosario was our server and she's fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and funny. Can't wait to return!“
“Excellent pizza - fresh, hot, and crispy. Great tasting sauce and good range of toppings from classics to unique. Yummy steak and cheese sub (great bread, steak is tender). And tasty chicken Caesar salad wraps. We always pick it up vs delivery. I think that makes a difference in how hot and fresh it is.“
“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.“
