Best Italian Restaurants in Fitchburg

We had a great first experience at Zafferano and will definitely be back! Appetizers: Gohbi Manchurian and samosa calzones. Both were excellent. My husband and I both preferred the Gohbi Manchurian and will order next time, too! I ordered the Masala Chicken Parmesan and it was fabulous. A generous portion, very juicy perfectly done chicken, and super flavorful tomatoey tikka masala sauce. Would get again! My husband got the veal shank osso bucco. It was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. He grew up on a veal farm, so it’s always great when we find veal prepared so well at a restaurant! Next time he wants to try the saag paneer pizza. For dessert, we shared the chai panna cotta which has excellent flavor. The texture was a little bit on the firmer side compared to other panna cottas I have had (not a good nor a bad thing, just an observation!) Overall, we were impressed by the speed, quality, and flavor of the food and will be back! Note on service: the kitchen was fast and food came out quickly and hot. Servers are still working out some kinks, and so we weren’t checked in on as frequently as I would like/sat with empty drinks for a while but I expect they’ll get that smoothed out with time and staffing adjustments!

FANTASTIC experience... can't say enough about this place. Perfect date night go-to. Ambiance is cozy, servers are attentive and friendly and the food is to die for!
