As someone who loves dining out--and who's Italian and has been fortunate enough to visit Italy…read moremany times--this was the meal of the year. I honestly can't think of another restaurant that captures the essence of Northern Italian cuisine at this level. Every single dish we ordered was exceptional. My advice: go family-style so you can share and experience as much of the menu as possible. The tortellini was outstanding, the pasta with the brandy cream sauce was unforgettable, and the short rib was absolutely phenomenal. Not a single dish missed, and there wasn't one thing we wouldn't order again. To top it all off, the chef came over to our table at the end of the meal to say hello--a thoughtful touch that made an already incredible experience even more memorable. I would put this restaurant up against anything I've had in Italy, and without question, it's the best Italian restaurant in the Boston area. The most surprising part? It's in Woburn, not the North End. 10/10. An unforgettable dining experience

Don't believe the hype…read more The good: Service was very attentive and nice. The bad: everything we ordered needed salt (and there's no shaker on the table). Pasta arrived lukewarm. Short rib with risotto also not hot, and I suspect was microwaved after a service snafu. Social media will lead you to believe that all of the pasta is homemade, but notably only one option - the fettuccini - was marked as homemade on the menu.

My friend and I had an enjoyable Italian dinner at Sam's Kitchen. The restaurant is attractive and…read morethe service was friendly. I quite appreciated that all the pasta is made fresh in the restaurant which made the Tuscan Veggie Pasta so much better. My friend thought the Carbonara in his Rib Eye Special was the best he has ever had. The only negatives were that I found the vegetables in my pasta dish kind of indistinguishable. I knew I was eating something green but didn't realize until after looking at the menu that it was asparagus. My friend's Rib Eye was supposed to be a medium but it was more like medium-well and kind of dry. Despite the negatives, I still recommend Sam's Kitchen and have already told my friends about it.

Beep beep. I tried their Prex Fixe lunch menu for just $22 and I felt like I was robbing the place. You get a salad, pasta and choice of dessert. I went with the Caesar, bolognese, and donut holes (zeppole). My bartender, Alexis, made the best recommendations, a great conversationalist, and was quick to the punch when my beer was running low. The bread spread started out HOT. Came out warm with red pepper flakes, parmigiana, and pure olive oil. I poured that cheese right in the oil with 2 spoons of peppers to dip that delicious, airy focaccia into. The salad was perfectly dressed with a bread crumb and bacon topping with your choice of anchovy on top. I'd highly recommend if you're hesitant, nice and vinegary and not too salty nor fishy. Came with a pepperoncini on the side as well. Bolognese sauce was rich, a tad creamy, with delicious meat you can actually taste and see! Some bigger chunks of meat made me feel special and not what I'm used to in a bolognese, but definitely not complaining. Make sure to have any bread left handy to scoop that last little sauce up with. Last but certainly not least, holy moly those Zeppole! Words can't describe how good these are. Crisp outside with a fluffy inside made my dreams come true. The dip was like a coconut whipped cream/ meringue. Whole thing was money bags, yo. I highly recommend this restaurant and the prex fixe lunch menu! Absolutely blew my socks off. Can't wait to come back for a dinner and lunch again soon. Try it out or you are not cool ;)

This is a good neighborhood spot for intimate gatherings or a business meeting where good food is a must. Highly recommended!

We will also absolutely be trying the breakfast spot that he owns, next-door as soon as possible! This is worth a drive. Everything is scratch made in their kitchen.

We live in Burlington, and so many of the restaurants are so overpriced, It's ridiculous and you get less for your dollar. We find the prices at Teresa's are very reasonable for the large portions and quality of the delicious food they serve. The Staff are so friendly and accommodating, our server this weekend was Shelly, she couldn't do enough for us, a true asset to Teresa's team. We've also had two Family functions there this past year, and are planning another one in October in a few weeks. working with Jeff the District Manager and Alyssa the Assistant District Manager has been wonderful, when planning a function, whatever you need, they take care of everything and they listen to your needs, also The Dining Room and Function Rooms are lovely. We've also eaten at Teresa's Prime in Reading and Terese's in Middleton and find them both exceptional as well. Thankyou, NR Burlington

My family and I have also tried some of the savory options for lunch recently. My husband had the Modena on a croissant and he said it was the best breakfast sandwich he's ever had. His only regret was not ordering two! I had the Milano. It was perfect. The chicken was light and crispy, and the veggies were fresh. The crisp bread contained just the right amount of mayo. My mom had the Minestrone, which contained a very generous amount of various vegetables and greens. She enjoyed her soup very much. My dad had the bolognese. The sauce was rich and the meat, tender. The pasta itself was, of course, excellent. Lastly, I've been several times for the coffee. The Marocchino is definitely my guilty pleasure. I've also enjoyed the brewed coffee!
