“ A little slice of the North End without driving to Boston. Great atmosphere and attentive staff. The food was excellent and I enjoyed every bite. This restaurant is my new go to for Italian cuisine. Try the meatball flight you will not be disappointed. ”

“ Amazing dining experience. Cannot wait to try again. Not only wasthe food delicious but the service was wonderful and very pleasant. ”

“ We came for Mother's Day. The food was incredible. I had the Ravioli all' Aragosta (lobster ravioli). My wife had the Ravioli di Zucca (butternut squash ravioli) and our son had the Pancetta e Panna. We shared the Nunziatina pizza which was Prosciutto di Parma, fig jam, figs, arugula, gorgonzola and balsamic glaze. The food was really good. The bread was great, the pizza was top tier. My wife loved hers. My ravioli lacked lobster. I got the flavor but no bite. I don't like that. I'd have expected a claw on top or something at the very least if there wasn't going to be a lobster bite to the ravioli. My son remarked that while his was delicious, he expected a dish that leads with Pancetta in the name to have more pancetta. He wasn't wrong, it lacked. For dessert, my wife got the bread pudding, which was incredible. Our son got the chocolate lava cake and he loved it. Overall the food was terrific and we will be back. The service was awful. It was soooo slow and our server didn't even take our order until we'd finished eating our apps. They didn't offer dessert, we had to ask and we had to be proactive about asking for more drinks. We spent 2 hours mainly because the service was so bad. This was everyone's experience. The people next to us sat before us and were still there while we were leaving. I honestly would have been fine with a slow pace dinner if the service were more attentive. I'll chalk it up to the server must have been super new and in the weeds. If it's bad on a second visit, we'll have to ding them. ”

“ For years we've loved going to Joseph's Trattoria Cafe off 125 in Bradford. A few weeks ago we went there and were surprised and saddened by a closed sign and a chain-link fence. On further checking we found that they'd been flooded out this past August. Recently, I attempted to book a Mother's Day reservation at our favorite local restaurants only to find that they were all full. As a last resort I googled their name and found that they were open in a new location on Moulton Street in Haverhill and thankfully was able to book a reservation there. They'd apparently opened last October, and many weren't yet aware of that. Long story short- we went there today, and it was nothing short of AMAZING! First, while we had a reservation, when we got there, there was a sumptuous buffet, but Joanna and I were booked at a table in an adjacent room 2 steps up from the buffet. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but she's recently been on a walker due to a recent knee injury. Getting to and from the buffet would have been difficult. We explained the problem to them and they graciously seated us at a table for 4 on the lower level. Given that the place was full on a busy day like today I'm sure that was a concession on their part. And their staff was most gracious and accomodating! Furthermore, the buffet was plentiful and DELICIOUS, and we'll be back soon! Try it- this is a real winner! ”

“ We had an early dinner Sunday after a show. Place was off the beaten path. Had to find it first. Kinda in an old brick building industrial area. We where seated quickly by the host. Nice place with alot of regulars watching sports at the bar. Huge wood pizza oven in back. We got our drinks & apps quickly from J Poeme. She was very good, had good energy & filled our drinks. GF got a salad, she liked it. I got a huge aranchini to start. It was very good, worked for me. Christy outside & goes inside. Then we got a prosciutto & fig jam pizza. It had arugula on top with balsamic glaze. Had the sweet & salty going on well. Had to stop myself from eating to much. Manager or owner came by to check on us, that's always a good thing to have upper management hands on . Instead of mailing it in! ”

“ Best Italian food I've had in a long time. The complimentary bread came out freshly baked and steaming hot, and the olive oil and spread were delicious. We got the fonduta for the appetizer, which was a hit. Who doesn't love melty cheese and crusty bread!? Our table had the lobster ravioli, butternut squash ravioli, and short rib pasta. All pasta was homemade, and the servings were surprisingly large. The lobster ravioli had a lemon cream sauce, which really made the dish. My mom orders the butternut squash ravioli any time she sees it on a menu, and said this was the best she ever had. My toddler even loved sharing the short rib pasta with me. The inside had a large bar, so it was noisy enough I wasn't worried about my toddlers volume. Our server was kind enough to bring her water in a plastic cup with a lid and straw. The only "negative" was that the service was rather slow. It took a while, and us actually going into the restaurant asking if we could sit for us to find a hostess and be seated. Our food also took a while to come out. But I couldn't even take a star away from that because the food was worth the wait, and our server did a good job. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely return. ”

“ Love their new location downtown Haverhill. They've updated their menu which was always good and it's definitely keeping our interest for what's on the menu and for how delicious. Family owned and I never fail to see the owners there making sure everything is just so. And the decor - so nice. Modern spin on old world Italian. Definitely worth a visit. Parking around the building can be a challenge depending upon how busy but they've got the luxury of a parking garage within 2 minutes and parking there is super cheap and a nice escape from clearing windows on snowy nights. ”

“ Was looking forward to the reopening. Cool downtown location. Atmosphere is like you're in a north end restaurant. Now for the food, everyone's food was hot, delicious. Bolognese was a10! Melanzana with chicken 10! Arrabbiata 10! Rigatoni con Salsiccia e Broccolini 10! Staff and service 10! Can't wait to go back Thanks for a great night Laura Wilson ”
