5 Best Italian Restaurants near Barrington

“I'll start by saying that it was an unusual night. The evening after a late-March snowstorm. Raining cats and dogs. And to top it all off, the power went out for a bit while we were there. The food at Dantes is fantastic. First rate family style Italian, plus a lot of it is scratch made. I think all of the pasta on their menu is available handmade -- at least most of it -- for a small upcharge. It's well worth it. Highly recommended. They claim to use imported Italian tomatoes in their marinara. What does that mean, exactly? I don't know, but it's tasty. The waitstaff is friendly and engaged and they genuinely seem to love their jobs. That's a big plus. They took really good care of us. The portions are pretty epic. Only the teenagers managed to finish their meals. The rest of us took healthy boxes home. The only drawback I could see was that the regulars were pretty loud and kind of rude. The people at the table next to ours were chatting at the top of their lungs and swearing like sailors. They weren't even drinking! Also, they had two children in their party. I'd highly recommend Dantes. If you have children in your party and you don't want them exposed to loud cursing, I'd suggest mentioning that to the hostess. There did seem to be quieter areas of the restaurant than where we were seated.“

“I love this place! Whenever I find myself back home in NH, I always stop by to meet up with friends. Great atmosphere, excellent beer selection and I love all of their food. Service has always been friendly and fast too. Truly a gem in Barrington. Thanks!“

“I read another review where the person said that everything on the menu has a special touch and I totally agree. Everything is so good here. I've gotten 2 different pizzas and the chicken cordon blue (all different visits) and it was all over the top good! I'm currently eating leftover chicken Broccoli Alfredo pizza from there and its the best pizza I've ever had. They have really tasty drinks too. 10/10 recommend!“

“This is the best pizza in town, hands down! I was helping my girlfriend move into her new apartment yesterday and as a treat for our hard work I got us a pizza (UNH loaded) and it absolutely hit the spot! The dough is hand tossed and super light and crispy. The combination of toppings on the UNH loaded pizza was also terrific, loved the veggie and meat medley. The owner is also super friendly and the person who was making the pizza too! You can tell that there's a lot of passion for pizza here.“

“The atmosphere was quaint while still open. Our waiter Alex, was soo attentive and just on his game! My husband and I got two different pasta meals, both were cooked perfectly. But the show stopper, was their Sea Salt Caramel cheesecake! It literally brought us cold chills, it was soo good! I can't wait to come back!“
