50 Best Italian Restaurants near Salem

“I cannot say enough good things about Antique Table. The food is amazing, and service is fabulous. Great atmosphere both indoors and outdoors, and tons of food & beverage options. There are so many dining choices in Salem, and we return here time after time. Classic Italian with some interesting additions mixed in, like the Chicken Miguel. The eggplant rollatini is the best I’ve ever had. Large portions and reasonable pricing. Generous pours on cocktails. Even in October, when the city is incredibly busy, the food and service remain top notch.“

“I haven’t been on top of my pizza game in some time. We have so many great places around. And this is my very first online review. But I hit up Renzos for a simple lg cheese. It was absolutely fantastic. One of the best I’ve had in years. Paper thin crust and the closest to the real Thatcher St. Regina I’ve had. And on top of that, the owner and son are tremendous guys. Talked Patriots football while I waited.“

“Everything about the store is on point! The homemade pastas that you bite into and your teeth feel that little firmness,😃, the flavors that your palate starts taking on, your brain instantly wants MORE! As you savor (and possibly moan a bit to loud lol) the incredible flavors of something as simple as carbonara, w/prosciutto, red onions & Romano cheese. Every visit, including take-out has been 💯% spot on! Mentioning take out, we recently dined outside, and watched the grubbers (grub hub) mad dashes in and out multiple times! We recognized at least 3 drivers, non stop pickup and drop orders, repeatedly! Thank you so much Little Store for your incredible hard work (when no one wants to work and think they should get everything free🤬🤬🤬) You are what America is built on! From the front of the house to last dish washed, you are all a generous team, so it appears from the outside. Great Job! P.S.Your freshness is duly noted!!! There are desserts, lemon mascarpone 🍰 cheesecake (can’t remember if it’s cake or cheesecake…red, red, wine..) Just stupid delicious at the end of a fantastic meal!! And I have had the chocolate torte or something like that…. 😱😱equally as good! I would just ROLL in them if it was acceptable…🤣🤣🤣so yummy!!! Thanks for letting me share my joy of The Little Store… and there legit hardworking staff!!! 👍👍👍“

“We wanted to have a few friends over and cook a nice meal for New Year's. I used my sauce and my meatballs, but Sabella's ravioli are outstanding. It was worth the trip down to Revere.
For the person who was personally hurt that it's on a busy street, Broadway has been a busy street in Revere for decades. It's not their fault. People go there to buy raviolis to cook at home, so rather than rating them poorly as a lunch stop, maybe do your homework next time?“

“The most amazing dinner experience we’ve ever had! Theresa made us feel like family and even kept my 7 year old laughing and excited the whole meal. Her food takes you right back to Italy and it’s made with so much love. We traveled from Texas and tried it on a whim - WOW best meal/experience of the whole trip. I am forever grateful for the meal and kindness you gave to me and my family. Please don’t hesitate, just jump in and try her place today!“

“I took my wife to Magia in Danvers on December 8, 2022. I have been patronizing many, many Italian restaurants in the area for many years. However, I can tell you that going to this one was an unbelievable experience. Here's how I would rate this Restaurant. Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Menu Choices: 10/10 What else can I say. I was greatly impressed with the service and the food. In passing, I mentioned, to the folks at the desk, that I was there for the first time, and it was my wife's birthday. What do you know, the server brought over a few Canoles with a lit candle. How considerate was that!!! My recommendation: Give this place a try. You will not regret it. If you have any special food requests, they are very accommodating. A truly wonderful group of people. By the way, they actually know how to make Veal Parisian correctly with exceptionally tender veal. Their Salmon is also great!! Give it a try. You won't regret it.“

“They don’t care about the people working The has the worst people working in the kitchen“

“Excellent meal, nice people, latin music, and they humored me using my limited Spanish. Muy sabrosa la comida! 5 stars.“

“The cheese pizza (Quattro Formaggi) has to be one my Top 3 pizzas. Very tasty.“

“Great atmosphere, the food was super delicious and full of flavors from the octopus app, tuna carpaccio, the pappardelle alla cinghiale and the dry aged Ribeye cooked perfect mid-Rare.
Great wine selection too especially the super toscan Gaja.
Excellent service!!!!!!
10/10“

“I really enjoy their marinara sauce and fresh fettuccine.“
