The inside was cramped with tables positioned tight to each other. The food was very good. We ordered their fried calamari for a starter ap. It was a smallish portion but light, tender, and tasty with their Marinara on the side. Entrees took a while as they were quite busy with the dining rooms full and an hour wait for walk ins. I had their veal saltimbocca. It was fresh, tender, and flavorful. My wife had her go to shrimp scampi and said it was also very good. Others in the party were equally happy with their dinners although my daughter thought the veal in her veal marsala was just slightly on the tough side. Service was excellent. We will go back as my wife and I am anxious to try their parmigianas, for me the veal, and for her the eggplant.

The dining room we were sat in was incredibly bright compared to the main dining room. Not a good atmosphere for when you want a relaxing dining experience + a filling meal when you're famished. I genuinely cannot describe how awkward the dining room felt. Appetizer: my friend and I each ordered caesar salad. I asked if there was a small portion because I didn't want a whole. My waiter was Italian, so I believe he didn't catch my question so my complaint isn't on him regarding the salad... but the salad was SMALL for $12. A handful and a half of romaine, the most acidic caesar dressing ever--so much that it was stinging my lips. A few croutons. And 2 anchovy filets--the best part of the salad overall, haha. I would have been okay paying $6 but not $12. Horrible start. We shared the calamari. It was flavorless with not even a touch of salt. Served with cold marinara sauce, no lemon. $16 calamari... I'd pay $8-$10 for that because I know PLENTY restaurants who have decent and thoughtfully prepared cal for the same price. We order entrees. One of my girlfriends ordered the tortellini carbonara. $26 entree. Served literally COLD, not even room temp. the sauce was minimal, it looked like a naked dish of multi-colored raviolis I used to eat growing up as a child... so yeah it looked like grocery store food with nothing added to it. She sent it back, but denied the option of ordering another meal... we had learned our lesson by now. My entree was one of the special chicken dishes. I think the most "popular" one, it was an herbed chicken or something with risotto I believe. Such an unforgettable and distasteful meal that I genuinely forget what it was. Entire dining experience was a waste of time, money, and calories lol. Our waiter was kind to give us complimentary cannolis to try and save the day :)

I'm surprised by anything less than stellar reviews for Tyngsboro's best kept secret - MAVE'S. Mave's offers an outstanding variety of tasty treats including their daily specials. I LOVE their spinach and ricotta calzone, the Mr. loves their pasta bolognese (sp), and don't get me started on the cookies (ask Maria what my kids call them ). Victor and Maria are charming, talented, and accommodating. They're always happy to tweak something to make it "just right". We've never been disappointed!! read more

Thank You God for sending Maria and Victor (MAVE'S Restaurant) to Tyngsboro,MA. Coming from New York, unless I went to the North End, there aren't any Italian restaurants in my area. Now.....I can have delicious Italian food any time I want. The homemade pasta and peppers and sausage and the mussels......the list goes on and on. And the desserts are unbelievable. If you love authentic Italian food then MAVE'S is the place to go. You will not be disappointed. Lpd 2/28/18 read more
