24 Best Italian Restaurants near Hampstead

“Went one afternoon for lunch. Not overly crowded, but it did take a while for appetizers to come out as well as the main meal.The food was really good. The appetizer rolls tasted like a philly cheese steak. The pizza crust was crunchy but not burnt. The sauce was slightly sweet, and the cheese was melted perfectly.The hamburger was large and tasted great. The fries had a nice crunch and salted well.I would come here again.“

“Best Calzones in the area!! Employees are friendly and seem to enjoy their job. I always heard negative things about the place, but I gave it a chance. Very glad I did. I believe it is under new management. I've lived in Haverhill for 29 years, and this is a happy old new discovery!“

“We just tried something different from our favorite Pizza & Sub shop. I usually get a pizza or steak and cheese, this time I got the steak bomb. OMG it was so delicious it was ridiculous. Hot, and bursting with flavor! My Wife got the Greek chicken wrap and it was equally delicious. According to Yelp this Restaurant gets only 3 stars. I have no idea why.“

“We went last night (first time) and were so happy we found this gem on Merrimack Valley Eats. I had the French Dip and my husband had fried scallops. Both were superb! And the hand-cut fries are hard to come by today! The bread pudding was the best around!! Can't wait to go back! And our server, Adam(?) went above and beyond to make our first visit memorable“

“Well I'm shocked it took me so long to get to this Restaurant. I mean I lived in Derry, NH forever before moving to the Seacoast. It is by far the best Real Italian food I have had in forever. The food was out of this world, I had the Amalfi special which was so abundant, it took me three meals before I could finish it all. The service was excellent , though very busy in a Saturday night, the place was packed. It was amazing. Make sure to make reservations and a good attitude because it's a quaint little place, booths are available if requested. I just can't say enough about it. I wanted to take a picture of my dish but I just finished the last bite. Deliciouso!!!“

“The service is great and I have always enjoyed the food here. Last visit Iwe had prime rib, which was delicious, and the seafood carbonara special. If you get the chance to order the carbonara, do it, you won't be disappointed. The bartending was superb. After all the food and drink I was surprised by the value when we received the check...very reasonable.“

“Went there thinking classic Italian. Boy was I wrong! So many Mediterranean dishes, amazing steak and STRONG drinks! Calamari was tender and delicious, prime rib rare as you want it, and the Mediterranean platter with hummus, grape leaves, and everything else amazing!!!“

“My wife had Steak Tip dinner. I had Chicken Parm dinner. Service was great. Service was great too Staff was fantastic. Food was Delicious. Will definitely go back again. Jessica was GREAT. Thank you Jessica ???Parking: Plenty of parking ???“

“Can I just say ..... WOWThe garlic bread was out of this world!I personally only drink one type of alcohol and I always order a tequila sunrise and this is by far the best tequila sunrise I've ever had. I got lobster ravioli it had a lemon sauce on it and holy hera ! So fresh and delicious. Hubby got the duck. Crisp moist and absolutely superb.Restaurant is small but the food made up for it. Our server was young had a smile and great attitude. I will be going back ! Almost forgot about the creme brulee ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUSI got a Cesar to go..... Homemade bread crumbssssssParking: Parking sucks downtown Haverhill but there's places. Just gotta find them lol“

“BOSA has an awesome Boston vibe, great atmosphere and excellent service. Some of my favorite items are the Spicy Sofia drink, the Shrimp Agnolotti, the Crab Croquette and the Cod Loin. I'm not a dessert person but they have an in-house pastry chef and I hear the desserts are incredible, too. Can't wait for the rooftop to open in May!! This place is my favorite new spot!“

“Balducci's is one of the better pizza joints in the area. I would consider it to be slightly underrated. If youre looking for a decent italian slice, give them a shot.Pizza is thin, not too crispy, with good flavors all around.Note to owner: Please season your french fries heavier.Vegetarian options: Veggie toppingsParking: Free parking lot“

“Things to try: classic gyro, calzones, pizza, steak & cheese, chicken parm & tour of Italy. Everything is delicious but these are some of the most notable dishes. You won’t be disappointed. The picture is one of the Valentine’s Day specials, the center cut sirloin with scallops.“

“We’ve been into this establishment several times and have enjoyed it each time. They have an outstanding buffalo chicken wrap and caesar salad, they have good drinks, and a variety of options offered on the menu. The bartender staff are very pleasant and clearly work hard around there. We recently tried two kinds of pizza and the margarita pizza is easily the best marg pizza I’ve ever had. Pepperoni was also up there. Delicious! I’ve gotten a salad and chicken tenders catered from here for a reasonable price and the portion size was gigantic!!! Highly recommend. One little note I will make is that the inside of the restaurant does occasionally get extremely warm so make sure to take your jacket off! :-) 10/10 from us otherwise!!“

“Went for dinner with my family last night (Friday night) and can’t say enough! Wish I had taken some pictures but I was too busy stuffing my face because everything was so delicious!!!!!! You can tell everything is made fresh. Our server was wonderful. We had a wonderful table in the corner. We had steak tip risotto, ribeye, t bone, wedge salad and a couple kids meals too. Absolutely everything was amazing - can’t say it enough! The Italian Margs were pretty yummy too! Oh and the deserts!!!! HUGEEEE and you guessed it… delicious!“

“Love Ralphie's! Great food and super friendly servers. My favorite Italian restaurant in the area. Not fancy like others in the area but the price and quality of food make it worth your while. You might have to wait for your table but drinks at the bar are nice. Try the meat sauce - delicious or on weekends their lasagna is amazing!“

“Big shout out to Romano's ordered my usual Chicken parm with ziti dinner and also ordered a chocolate milk, it was forgotten when delivered driver was back here in 5 mins with my choc milk. That is good customer service and there house dressing is just so good .“

“I found this pizza place through my Happy Cow app, as my husband and I are vegan (and good vegan pizza is so hard to find)! The ordering process is super easy, you just order at the counter and they bring the food right to the table. The girl at the counter (wish I got her name) was super helpful and knowledgeable about their vegan offerings. The food came out pretty quickly and was fresh and hot and soooo delicious! We had only ordered a salad and a pizza with vegan cheese and some veggies but we're excited to come back and try some of the other dishes as well!“

“We hosted our son’s baptism reception at The Windham Restaurant. Our guests loved the food, atmosphere, and especially the deck! The waitstaff was attentive and so accommodating to several allergies we had told them about. In addition to this, we had expressed concern prior to the party, about the staircase and the amount of children we were planning to have. The owner/staff placed a baby gate (!) to ensure all children were safe and parents could enjoy the party worry-free. Thank you so much Karolyn, Nick, and staff!“

“Drove 45 minutes after seeing this deli on a Facebook group and we’re glad we did. I got the caprese sandwich (took out the prosciutto and added chicken cutlets) - delicious. My husband got a veal parm sub and thought the veal was a perfect thickness with a nice crisp to it even with it being covered in sauce. We had planned to take half our sandwiches home, but they were too good. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Just got two speciality pizzas to go that were fantastic. During this crazy time of fear and worry with the virus, Spaziano's is open and serving the Haverhill community. If you can, stop in and support Spaziano's by ordering some great food!“

“I have been wanting to eat there for a long time! This is authentic Italian food. I was there for an early lunch so it was not busy. It had a total North End vibe and I am definitely going back. I told the waiter it was the best veal parm I ever had and he went right to the kitchen to tell the chef! 5 out of 5 for sureRitaPlaistow“

“We've been going here for years. Pizza, subs, calzones and especially their honey BBQ steak tips are all great. We'll be driving gome and just randomly decide that we don't want to cook and Louis is our first thought. Friendly and fast!“

“Dined there last night and the food was as great as always. I got the Chicken Scampi, everything was on point. It was unfortunate that a customer allowed their child to shriek out and run around the restaurant. I know there is nothing management can do, but it is still a pet peeve. The reason I have a concern is that I walk with a prosthetic leg and tripping over a child is NOT a good start to the evening. I can absolutely guarantee you the Olive Garden’s food is better than what they give you at Holy Family Hospital. Anyway, the one issue the restaurant can address is the hostess’s attitude, it stunk. She just threw the menu on the table and didn’t say a word. Aside from the server’s lackluster attitude and the child running around, the meal was very good and my server was very good. I will be back.“

“I saw a video on Instagram about the chopped Italian sub. I looked up where they were and saw it was less than 2 hours I figured why not!I was beyond happy I made the trip. The chopped sub was delicious. We also ordered a Sicilian style pizza. The girl at the counter was super friendly, welcoming and helpful in what we ordered. She also checked in to see how the pizza was and wished us a safe trip back. I truly don’t think I have Visited an establishment and felt that welcome in a very long time especially in today’s world, this place is definitely worth another trip, for not just the food, but the friendly atmosphere as well.“
