We had a group reservation for a graduation celebration, perfect place for this event. Food was good, frittata, Chicken and waffles, turkey with potatoes and eggs, appetizers and desserts were done right. Special thanks to our server Jacob, he did an outstanding job serving our drinks. Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional! read more

The restaurant was in a nice little area. It was very clean and had nice lighting. Our waiter, Andrew, was great and checked in on us frequently. The food was good in our opinion. The garlic bread was awesome. read more

Have been a few times. Happily I have never had to pay! Atmosphere is nice but it does get loud when crowded. The food is average. A lot of Italian choices, but few served with pasta but you can substitute it in. Only have linguine or ziti. Portions are average size. It is expensive IMO for what you get. Only 1 seafood option which is disappointing. Service is average. There are better options in my opinion for what they offer. read more

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Food is decent, but they cannot even hold a reservation. I booked a reservation on the phone for a mother's day brunch with my wife, and my family from out of town. I received a phone call to reconfirm my reservation 2 days prior, but the day before I get a message that states that my reservation is at completely the wrong time. So, I called and I am simply told that there is nothing they can do. No apology, no speaking to the manager on duty. Their mediocre food is not worth the horrendous service rendered. Never returning to this restaurant and I am a local. read more

Waitress was uninformed and didn't know the answer to any of our questions. She was sweet, but I really hope she was new because she wasn't sure on simple questions. The food was decent at best. I was very excited for the chicken Milanese but the portion size for a $30 entree was embarrassing. Good flavor, chicken cutlet could have been crispier but not bad. There was no seasoning or dressing on the arugula which I also thought was weird. Lastly I ordered the $19 carrot cake because it sounded amazing. Unfortunately it was not amazing. It was dry and bland. Probably a few days old honestly. Very disappointing. I'm not sure if I'll be back, there were other things on the menu I wanted to try but pricing is up there and not worth it after this meal. read more

Our first visit to 34 Park, unfortunately on Mother's Day, was deeply disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the experience fell short of expectations. A few members of our party came inside just ahead of our reservation to check in, only to be met with unwarranted attitude from (what we assume was) the manager, who curtly responded with "Good" when they said they'd wait outside. Things didn't improve once we were seated. Our group was slightly smaller than the reservation, and the manager responded with an eye roll that made us feel like we were being difficult rather than simply informing them. Moments after we sat down, our server asked for drink orders before we even had a chance to open the menu. He returned just a minute later, but we were still deciding. We also noticed that only standard brunch menus were placed on the table, even though we saw Mother's Day menus at the hostess stand. We had to request them ourselves. Then we were told we needed to place our entire order at once "because the kitchen was busy," which, while understandable on a holiday, felt rushed. Strangely, one person's side of bacon came out before any appetizers. When we questioned it, the server simply said, "This came out first, so... here you go." Drinks took a long time to arrive, and since we were only checked on once, we ended up just ordering one round -- a missed opportunity for them, especially on such a high-volume day. All in all, the experience felt unorganized and lacking in hospitality. The issues we encountered seemed to reflect a broader management problem. For a restaurant in such a prime location -- and on a day meant to feel special -- 34 Park really missed the mark. read more

I was hoping to host a baby shower at 34 Park but I never heard back from them. I did the online private event request and after not hearing back in over a week, I called. I was suppose to hear from a woman in 24-48 hrs but never heard anything. Very unfortunate. read more

I had a reservation for 6 and they called me the day before to cancel it because they were closing the restaurant for an event. 24 hours notice with no recommendation of somewhere else to host my group. They also had a staff member call rather than a manager. I found it incredibly unprofessional. read more

The food was fine but expensive. Nothing special for the price. I have eaten at Italian restaurants for half the price. We were in the area so decided to go there since we are not from the area. It started off that what I like to drink was not available so I decided on something else that I really didn't like. The bread was nothing special but adequate. The formal dining was pleasant but I think the food is overrated. For the price of the entree you would think a salad would be included but it wasn't so I ordered one. Again, nothing special very plain. Waiter was very attentive but all in all I felt it was too expensive for nothing special. read more

Fantastic dinner for NYE!! Karen was our waitress. She was attentive, friendly, helpful and all around fabulous. She went above and beyond to make the evening special. The food was delicious and atmosphere is so fun. Even on the busy NYE night our requests for menu alterations were happily accommodated. The drinks were perfectly made. I was so happy to receive my ice on the side as most restaurants forget despite the request. After a difficult choice my partner went with the special "land and sea". The filet was cooked to perfection. I chose the chicken picatta which was the best I have ever had! Ending the evening with the enormous piece of chocolate cake did not disappoint. Great way to start out the New Year! Can't wait to return to try the other menu items! read more

Had dinner there last night and not only were we celebrating NYE but my retirement. Service was terrible and they weren't even that crowded. Now I know why I was able to get a reservation for 7pm on NYE only a few days before. Since they were not that busy there was no excuse for having to ask for bread and oil after being told 3 times by our waitress that she would bring it. Then when my $68 filet was overcooked (requested medium-rare and it was more like medium-well) and I sent it back, the manager left us sitting there for about 30 minutes without telling us what the resolution would be. When she finally brought me out a new meal without any word of apology, I asked her to just wrap it up to go. We had finished our bottle of Prosecco and I didn't want to spend another minute there. Never once did she say she was sorry or ask how she could make it up to us. She did take 25% ($17) off of my meal but never showed her face to us again. The waitress did apologize but having been in the business for 50 years as she stated, she should have known to send the manager to our table rather than let us sit there and fume for 30 minutes. Sadly, this place that we used to frequent often has gone downhill. We will likely not return. I was told the manager's name was Rebecca. She could use some customer service training. read more

Overpriced overrated and food quality was mediocre. Portion size is on the skimpy side and the service is the worst. Especially if you sit at the bar to eat. There are better choices around with better food and staff that act like they actually aren't annoyed you showed up to eat read more

Very ssssslllllloooooowwwww service. Very. Food was mediocre: salmon salad had tied vegetables and an ice cooked, dry, tail piece if salmon. They also forgot some of the veggies in the salad. Place was loud. read more

The food is really bad, overpriced, and they forgot half our takeout order. They kept the same menu items that the restaurant used to have under a different management, but doubled the prices and cut the quality of ingredients. The pasta in the pasta and meatballs was the flavorless, limp kind that you can buy for 99 cents and the meatball was way oversized and tasted nothing like meat, instead it was all filler and tasted like bread. They also left off 4 of the items we ordered and the fries, tatertots, and ravioli were all cold by the time we got home (it was only a 5 minute drive) Absolutely disappointing, I would not waste my time going here. Wish this was still under the Salvatores management read more

34 Park - Way oversized meatball that was full of filler. Gross. - Italian Near Me - Andover, Massachusetts

Food was good. I had the bolognese. Although not amazing I would call it very good. I'd be happy ordering that again. My wife had the chicken marsala. It also was very good. However, I make better marsala at home. There was no punch to the sauce. I'm thinking they just don't add enough marsala to it as it's cooking. So overall we had good food here. The hostess ignored me when we first entered the restaraunt. She made a point to address my wife instead which is ok However, she should try to at least make eye contact to both people in the party and greet both of us. The server was excellent and made suggestions when asked about the dishes. She was attentive and helpful and anticipated our needs. The restaurant itself was nice enough inside. We were on the bar side. I would definitely update this restaurant to $$$. Most of the entrees were in the $31 range (as of 04/30/24). read more

Awful service, was there 3 almost 4 hours and didn't get food and just took it to go!

I would not recommend 34 Park. The waitress was rude and abrupt with me. She implied I didn't know "fine dining." She was impatient, made rude comments, and tried to make me feel uncomfortable. Towards the later evening, her attitude seemed to get better. The restaurant was closing, and she offered to bag our leftovers. She said because of covid, it was not advised, but she would anyway. At that point, my date asked about her covid status. She went berserk, stating it was an inappropriate question and how dare he ask her that. We realized she was not vaccinated, and the entire evening she did not wear a mask or maintain social distance. We were vaccinated, but if we weren't, she put us at risk of getting covid. While the website claimed staff wore masks, they were not that night. I would not recommend 34 Park restaurant in Andover if you're a Black woman or unvaccinated. Two times I went there, and two times, the staff tried to make me feel uncomfortable. In addition, they violated their covid policies written on the site and based on my date's conversation with the manager. read more

At least one gluten-free entree is no longer gluten-free. I was looking forward to a 33rd anniversary dinner at 34 Park. I looked at the menu and found the veal chop was no longer gluten-free. I called about the change and was told it was no longer gluten-free. I asked if they could make it gluten-free and was told no. I used their online contact to ask about it and complain about the change. That was in January 2023. It's now March and I have yet to receive a response. This ruined our anniversary. Please join me in protest. Who knows what else they will change from being gluten-free to not gluten-free. read more

Food excellent I had eggplant pizza And salad. Service excellent I have food allergies they made sure I was ok. They went out of their way and made salad dressing from scratch for me!! read more

Didn't set our table until we complained...food is overpriced & is basic Italian. Bad service & sub par food.

We took our 90 year old grandmother here for dinner at 4pm and used a reservation. A baby shower had just ended so the only tables available were around the bar because the dining room was still disassembled for the event. Some of the drunk and extremely rude "ladies" from the event had ridden their brooms over to the bar and taken space. They would not move for my grandmother and her walker despite 5 requests to politely shuffle aside for a mere moment. Guess they were worried their martinis would tip. Finally we rammed them and got by. The restaurant did nothing. We then got to listen to their cackling and swearing at ear splitting volume. And I do mean swearing. This is an upscale place. The decor is gorgeous. If I wanted harpies shouting drunkenly at 4pm I'd stay home and watch housewives on Bravo. We could not have a conversation due to the shouting and it was a birthday and a time for a family that does not live near each other to catch up. The restaurant did nothing to ask the "ladies" to respect the diners. We were moved (after our request) to the dining room area when they put the tables back in place All the other diners in the bar followed suit so it wasn't just us that found these females obnoxious. I appreciate that the restaurant did that but perhaps deal with the problem? It took forever to get served and get our food. And I tried the shrimp scampi signature dish and the shrimp were overcooked and it didn't have enough acid. Absolutely no lemon. It didn't taste like scampi to me. Then another large party came into the dining area and their children ran amok so that trying to get to the bathroom was like trying to make it down a football field against the Patriots. Not much hope. Narrow passages and those kids are going to block my every move. Again- imagine doing that with a walker. Have people forgotten common decency and manners? Can't restaurants ask patrons in a formal dining establishment for a modicum of good behavior? I won't be returning. read more

I had a great experience here. The inside is very modernized and the outside looks like a wedding venue. Feels upscale even though it's not pricey. Waitstaff was average but the food made up for it. Absolutely delicious. We need more Italian places like this one! read more

a day agoNEW I have been to this establishment many times and I keep going back thinking it will be different or like the first couple times I had dinner there. They don't seem to ever get the chicken marsala right. The sauce is never reduced. It's watery and the garlic is raw. Tastes like ramen. Date night this past Sunday was the worst experience I've had yet. Our waitress was awful. The lighting in the restaurant is so bright that the ambiance isn't pleasurable. Not a good place for a date. I really hope the managers start keeping a better eye on their cooks and staff. I've seen the bartenders be extremely rude to the waiters before. Once a waitress spoke badly about a bartender to my mother and I. It was uncomfortable. read more

So not worth the price. Used to be reasonable but since the remodel it's not $30 for the same pizza, menu and ingredients unchanged?? Insane. The quality has also drastically declined. We got a pizza last night and it had virtually no sauce, lacked the added toppings we paid for, and was so greasy it bled through the box into our car. Basically just a slab of cheese on a grease-soaked crust. Bring back the reasonable prices and quality of food. read more

I was disappointed because I've wanted to eat here for a while. But it's not all that. I had the Bolognese which was actually very good. My wife got a caprese and said it was not very good at all, dry and mushy. We ordered eggplant parm appetizer. It was pretty much an entire eggplant. It was very good and the red sauce itself, the pomodoro is actually quite delicious. My main issue here is the service. For the price we are paying these days I would like a little crisper experience. Our waitress was nice but not attentive. She did not visit us a single time between our apps and during dinner. My wife wanted to order another cocktail. So we cashed out, and she got her cocktail at the bar. speaking of the bar. We sit down, two bartenders doing their thing. I know it's going to be a few minutes to get to us, but it would be appropriate to at least greet us, "hey folks, with you in a couple of minutes " How hard is that? It would go a long way. In short - Food is okay, pizza actually looks really good. I might go back and try it. I will use the visit to see if the service issues were a one off. read more

I hosted a large family & friend lunch (about 20 in total) at its main dining hall area. They provided us a private room with a large table where the whole group could sit together very comfortably. The food was excellent, plentiful and delicious. Bread and dipping sauces were tasteful. The service was excellent and very friendly. Every person who attended the lunch had a great time and enjoyed the food very much. The lunch was a very personal occasion for me and they exceeded my expectation in every way. The head waitress also told us a bit about the history of restaurant. We also liked the private dining area; it was brighly lit and the ambience was californian: casual yet elegant, bright and spacious. If you are looking for an important dinner or lunch experience, this place is it. It also has plentiful of parking space in the area. I would come here again and again. read more

I would give this zero stars if I could. The hostess with black hair was extremely rude, unhelpful, and had no idea what she was doing. The apparent assistant manager was very rude and walked around like she wanted no one there. I will not be returning anytime soon, the most negative place have ever been to and seemed like they wanted me out immediately. Very disappointing. read more

This place would be such a great dinner spot if their food didn't miss the mark so terribly. The service itself and the atmosphere are both great but I have not enjoyed a single thing I've ever tried on the menu. Their appetizer selections were awful and when I settled on trying the clam gumbo I didn't expect it to be so much worse than mediocre - it was genuinely bad. On top of that, none of their entrees sound or taste appetizing aside from maybe if you get a basic pizza. For a mid upscale restaurant you would think they would have better Italian food but it's all mostly bland or just not good. And it's such a shame because I would love this place if they improved the food and menu. read more

A bit pricey, but the food is delicious. Have had their mango shrimp appetizer (slight spicy sweet flavor), meatball appetizer (huge!), mac n cheese appetizer (huge portion and wow delicious), grilled shrimp Ceasar, butternut ravioli (very sweet), chicken alfredo (perfect sauce), pasta bolognese (big portion, one of my favorites). Friday nights through the summer they have a live jazz band during outdoor dining, and I tend to go on that particular night because of it. read more

Have to say I'm a little disappointed with my 34 Park experience. I'll start of by saying our service was excellent. Bread and dipping sauce was very good. Our appetizers of flat bread and araincini were also very good. Down hill from there. Not one of us raved about our entree. My chicken piccata was extremely bland. Really expected more at "market price" of 36 dollars. What I got was a couple of ok chicken breasts and some pasta. Even the capers didn't seem to have any flavor. Our party was split on dessert. The carrot cake was good but the portion way too big. The cannoli did not impress. Everyone did like their cocktails which were off the menu. Now I love Salvatore's this restaurant is somehow related but the quality isn't there. It's a remodeled space but I'm not sure what kind of vibe they are going for read more

It took forever to receive my drink after ordering. The Waiter appeared to forget about taking our order. It was much longer for the food to be served. The onion soup was cold on the bottom and burnt cheese on the top. No complaints about the Pizza. Will not be in a rush to return. read more

Went recently and sat outside. Food was just okay. Service was horrible. Our male waiter didn't wear a mask and continued to interrupt us repeatedly while we were just trying to enjoy our meal. He continued to bellow at us with political commentary to the point where we couldn't enjoy our meal. A group of folks at another table abruptly left because they couldn't take it either. After our dinner we weren't even offered dessert because it was close to closing time and chatterbox wanted to leave. Ruined our evening. This place needs to hire experienced waiters. read more
