Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Wakefield

My experience at Libertine was great, but not amazing. When you first walk in you see the open kitchen and bar, then there is a good amount of seating that is a bit cramped, but nothing unusual for North end restaurants. Our server was very attentive and greeted us just a couple minutes of us sitting down. We got an appetizer of chourico that was lit table side, and was amazing. Highly recommend as an app. Then, the only downside of the night was when we ordered a special that night, Portuguese bitoque. I asked for medium rare and barely got it rare, and I had to get it recooked for another 6-8 minutes. We had bread in the meantime and I was aware that things like this always happen. After getting my meal recooked, we both enjoyed out dinners and the food was great. The prices are a tad on the high end, especially the drinks, but that’s life nowadays. I would totally recommend Libertine if you want to get away from some of the classic Italian restaurants in the area and go for something a bit more unique.

We had a great first visit to Sogno. All the food we ordered was delicious (eggplant soup, wild boar gnocchi special, cacio e pepe pasta, creme brulee, and ricotta pie). My husband ordered a Sogno Sip (pineapple infused vodka), and I tried a mocktail with non alcoholic prosecco and rose syrup. We loved the atmosphere, and it was fun for a date night. Our server was very attentive and offered to take photos of us, which was nice and not expected. We will definitely be back!

The food was phenomenal and the bartender and server were both very kind and attentive. The mushroom pasta with shrimp was especially good. The only hiccup was with the check in and reservations…make sure you have your email confirmation handy!

Always a favorite, I brought my friend here for the first time to celebrate her birthday before attending a concert and it didn’t disappoint. We had a wonderful server, the food was fast and delicious, the value was great and they gained a new fan in my friend. A great spot for a weeknight outing with friends or special event.

Excellent food. Comfortable pleasant atmosphere. Friendly efficient service. Totally worth the cost!
