    Garlic Bread Chicken Romano and Veal Parmigiana

    The Chicken Ramona and Veal Parmesan with linguine along with garlic bread was the best I've had in a long time. The quality and quantity Outstanding! The service was excellent, our waitress with a packed full house was on her game. You can tell she loves her job and you got service with a smile and asking if we were ok and or do we need anything. The environment was amazing truly a Rustic Italian restaurant and very clean. I will mention that it is one busy restaurant. We got there noontime and left 2:30 and it was empty. I would go back for sure but to avoid the crowd I'll plan late noontime, yes!

    My personal pizza wit onions and hot peppers.
    Richard W.

    For all you pizza lovers out there like myself, I find it difficult to find places that offer personal pizza, and especially personal pizza that not only tastes great, but is actually affordable to eat. Along with pizza they offer an amazing lunch menu full of appetizing choices that are amazingly delicious and good to eat also. I suggest you find out for yourself by ordering online. In person, or simply sitting down and being promptly serviced by a live person, not a kiosk. Great food, great service, great prices, and nice atmosphere,who can ask for anything better.

    Seafood Arugula over Pasta special
    Nick L.

    Very consistent, good quality food - I recommend most their salads, always solid portions. In particular, their Bruschetta Chicken Salad or their Fresca Caprese Salad with Prosciutto. On my most recent reason my mom had a Seafood special over pasta with Arugula that was very tasty and fresh. I also judge an Italian joint by its soup and I always enjoy their Chicken Pastina, and they had a great Beef Barley today. Also very much appreciate the great service from Vickie!

    The food was amazing, we ordered the cheese fries with cheese whiz and it was amazing, we also ordered onion rings which were very good, the Mac n cheese wedges were absolutely to die for and would recommend them 10/10 and I got the bacon cheeseburger, lots of bacon and the meat was cooked very well and for 9.95 it was well worth it, my mom got the cheesesteak hoagie and she said it was a very good cheesesteak hoagie and and said it was so packed and well worth the money which for 11.50 and it's packed, talk about a bang for your buck, my dad got the meat lovers pizza turnover and he said it was very good and for 13.95 it was well worth it and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was giving off great vibes and would for sure recommend this place to anyone looking to get they're monies worth in food and a good time

    Oregano Vinaigrette

    New review because I tried something new on the menu! I am the type of person who sticks with my classics (greek turkey wrap) but decided to go out on a limb! Every now and then we order from Rustic for my work lunch. There's always 15+ orders and I've never heard of them messing anything up!! This time, I got the Antipasto salad. I also decided to do oregano vinaigrette on the side. I've never had a salad from here so I was excited. It was absolutely delicious!! I literally loved it and it was so filling!! The meat was fresh and delicious and lettuce to topping ratio was perfect. The dressing was DELICIOUS and I recommend it with this salad! I also got it with no tomatoes. Rustic with another home run!

    We were in the area for lunch and decided to choose Femmina. It was a little bit late, about 2 pm,…read morebut there were still customers. That was a good sign. Femmina has a good size lunch menu and the prices were reasonable for lunch, especially with how generous the portions were. Entrees were served with a house salad and complimentary breads that were delicious. Our server was fantastic, she spent a lot of time in Italy and explained that the owners were from the Naples area. Both our dishes were very good and we took some home to eat as left overs for dinner. I would definitely return to Femmina Italian Grill.

    My best friend and I have been wanting to try Femmina since he moved to Medford a year again…read more Finally the situation presented itself and we decided to head there on a Friday night. The parking lot was PACKED and it took a bit to find a spot. We were told there would be a 30 minute wait, which was significantly less than I thought considering they do not take reservations for parties less than 6. We were actually sat in 15 minutes and our server brought us waters and Arnold palmers while we perused the menu and specials. After placing our order, a food runner brought us buttery warm garlic rolls and a different style of crusty bread as well. We decided to start with the arancini ( Italian rice balls) which came with four huge rice balls stuffed with a ground beef bolognese style and served with marinara. Our house salads came with a thousand island style dressing and consisted of chopped romaine, grape tomatoes, and cucumbers. Very basic but the dressing seemed like it could be made in house. For our entrees, I did the limoncello chicken and my best friend did the paparadelle with lobster. Mine had the most decadent lemon cream sauce bathing several chicken cutlets covered in crab meat with melted cheese and a huge mound of capellini. His was covered in chunks of lobster claw meat, mushrooms, prosciutto, and peas with a sherry blush sauce. Both entrees were huge and we took more than half home but everything was delicious. For dessert we opted to share the tiramisu since it's made in house. It had a thin layer of chocolate on top, which made for the most delicious mocha flavor. Our server was wonderful, the place was packed with people celebrating birthdays and everyone sang every time another candlelit dessert was paraded through the dining room. The ambience is cozy and comfortable and I can't wait to go back!

We arrived a little over 15 minutes before our reservation and were seated immediately. I love the size of the restaurant. Compact with tables set very close together adds what feels like a small, homey vibe to your dining experience. Our server was outstanding! He brought energy, knowledge of the menu, professionalism, and class. He elevated our experience and may have been the best server we've had at ITA since we've been frequenting. When dining at ITA, like always, we always have to order a variety of dishes to split. We started with a perfectly cooked Oven Roasted Cauliflower appetizer. Split 3 different pastas: a rich & savory Carbonara (probably the star of the night), a gorgeous cavatelli with tender wild boar ragu, and a spicy but balanced capellini with spare ribs. All of their pasta, of course, is made in house and is beautiful and rustic, and is always cooked perfectly Al dente with a great bite. The combination of the creaminess of the sauce, the saltiness and texture of the guanciale, and the doneness of the tagliolini; led us to agree that the Carbonara was our favorite. We were split on the other two, but you can't go wrong with any of the pasta dishes on the menu. We've never had one we weren't blown away by. The entree we chose was a fluke stuffed with shrimp and served over a bed of shiitakes. The crust on the fluke was to die for and the presentation couldn't have been better. ITA is always such an elevated dining experience. You'll be hard pressed to find local, authentic Italian food that is as unique as it is here. There are a couple things we really love about it here other than what I've already mentioned earlier in this review. First, it's great that it's BYO as it helps offset the prices (which are well worth it for the quality of food served) as we can split and enjoy a nice bottle of wine with dinner. Second, the menu is constantly rotating every week and part of their menu highlights and features different regions in Italy. There are always new menu items we've never had before. I'm sure my wife feels the same, but I already cannot wait until we're back dining at ITA101.

When we first arrived, we were greeted by a gum-chewing hostess and seated right away, which was fine. It took a few minutes for our waiter, Juan, to come over and take our order. We didn't order any appetizers, so our salads came out quickly. After that, we waited...and waited...and waited. The delay was long enough that the manager came over to ask how everything was and whether we were interested in dessert. I had to tell him that we hadn't even received our meals yet. When the food finally arrived, everyone else enjoyed their dishes--veal parm, chicken franchise, and a few others. I ordered the special, described as a porterhouse pork chop with potatoes, vegetables, and a mushroom cream sauce. Thankfully, I asked for the sauce on the side, because it was very sweet--even the waiter mentioned that. The pork chop itself was cooked the way I like it, but it was not a porterhouse cut. A true porterhouse pork chop should be bone-in with both the tenderloin and loin sections. What I received was more like a pork loin cut, and while it was listed as 16 oz, it didn't appear to be anywhere near that size. Moving forward, we'll likely take a break from Casa

I rounded down instead of up because of my personal experience that night, but I could see that half star going either way. ANYWHO, Cucina Carini.....a local pizza shop that has an attached dining room that, while pretty small, is also pretty nice. BYOB, which we didn't know heading in, and unless we are missing something, the only beverage options are either water, or whatever YOU bring. (We weren't asked what we would like to drink, nor saw any beverage options on the menu.) SO, water it was, which was fine with ME anyway. ALSO, another thing not listed on the *dine in menu,* is that they DO have a kids menu, which consists of what you would think it does; chicken fingers, fries and the like. We sit and get to work looking over the menu. We land on crab ravioli for me, (crab meat, asparagus & plum tomatoes in a sherry cream sauce), potato gnocchi for The Misses (With spinach & bacon simmered in a gorgonzola cream sauce,) and the chicken fingers meal for The Little One. Entrees comes with soup or salad (soup for her, salad for me). Where CC is losing some points is on service. Our server was fine, but the kitchen was very mixed up. When we sat, our Little One was being a kid, so while getting her situated, we ordered all of the mains. About 5 minutes later, when the server brought the bread over, we asked to order an appetizer of fried mozzarella (which I assumed would be the fresh mozzarella, breaded and fried, but instead was the packaged Sams club type breaded sticks variety..the menu says "Fried Mozzarella, Breaded mozzarella, fried golden crisp & served with marinara sauce. Nowhere does it mention "sticks." *shoulder shrug emoji*). In rapid succession after that, the kids meal came out, and then, and I mean probably 3-4 minutes after ordering the mozz *sticks,* THEY hit the table. Still no soup or salad. The mozzarella sticks were made suspiciously fast. Maybe 15-20 minutes later the ENTREES hit the table. The server does recognize that she never brought the soup or salad, and offers to put them in To-Go containers. *second shoulder shrug emoji* The entrees themselves were good, not great. Decent flavor, but both dishes underseasoned. A little salt would have gone a long way. I had to add parmesan cheese, red pepper flake, and some salt myself to coax a better flavor out of my ravioli. The Misses's gnocchi also needed some doctoring to bring out some true flavor. The kids meal was a generous portion size, but then again, it WAS $13, so..... We decided to actually do dessert, as The Little One wanted cake, and I had seen a picture of the Peanut Butter Bomb, and absolutely wanted to try it. One bomb, and one Lemoncello Cake slice was the order. The Lemoncello cake was good, but again, lacking in deep flavor. You got a hint of lemon, then the rest of the bite was chewing on air. It speaks to the lightness of the cake crumb, but the flavor needs to be punched up. The Peanut Butter Bomb however; no notes. Delicious. Chocolate mousse on top of a peanut butter mousse, on top of a chocolate cookie type base, the whole thing covered in chocolate and peanut drizzle (?) and sprinkled with peanuts. Definitely the best thing I ate here. SO, all things put together, it wasn't a bad night. Service was a little slow, which was only really a problem because we had a squirmy 7 year old. I probably would have appreciated the pace if it were The Misses and I just sipping a bottle of wine. But, the kitchen course timings and mix up, plus the muted flavor of pretty much every dish knocked it down a few pegs. I could see Cucina Carini easily being a 4 star spot and a go-to, "our spot" type place, it just didn't get there for me on my one visit. It's a little far from us, but if I'm in the area, I would definitely give it another shot.

At the end, we split an order of Tiramisu and it was delicious but my recipe is better lol. Theirs is not homemade but it was tasty. Not bad for $7.99 but the portion was kinda small.
