- JJaneGreater Boston •23 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoBolognese is one of my favorite Italian dishes; Massimo’s was exceptional as the penne pasta was “home made” plus a choice of serving sizes. My husband looks forward to the veal chop which was also done just as he had requested, rare and charred on the outside. The dining room is very cozy, we felt like we were in Italy.More infoRistorante MassimoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portsmouth•4.8

- PPatrickTampa / Central Florida West •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoRow 34 always delivers!! We had an amazing dinner and feasted on oysters, tuna tar-tar, calamari, dinner rolls, corn bread, chowda, and lobster rolls. The warm lobster roll is my absolute favorite at Row 34. I had some colleagues in town for some business meetings and Row 34 was my 1st thought for an amazing dinner. The ambiance is perfect for dinner out, great music in the background and just a great vibe. Don’t forget to get a chocolate chip cookie or the butterscotch pudding!!More infoRow 34 - PortsmouthPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Portsmouth•4.6
- DDanvipGreater Boston •16 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThe restaurant was great. The food was outstanding: an order of popovers to start, a roasted duck breast for me, a baked salmon for my wife left us so full we couldn’t get to dessert. The parking was a challenge and it was pretty noisy but our server, Martina, was attentive and friendly so we were very happy with the whole experience and will definitely be backMore infoLedger Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• American• Salem•4.6
