Best Authentic Restaurants in Derry

This bears a resemblance to the old Tuscan Kitchen. They've gone upscale. The restaurant was tastefully decorated, unfortunately, the noise level is high which detracts from the ambiance. The staff was friendly and attentive. The dinner was excellent. The food was properly prepared and delicious. The only downside was: -The bartender had no idea what a Highball was (Scotch & Soda) and sent it Neat. This was quickly corrected since I was able to remember the recipe for Scotch & Soda. - I'll assume this was a one-off, out of their control, I had to send the CaesarSalad back as the lettuce was bitter.

The market dining area is very noisy. The service started off slow - most likely due to the volume of customers at that time. However, as the night went on our server was more attentive and the evening was a success.

Great place to go eat, definitely going again. The eggplamt lasagna was to die for.

Maekha Thai has great food (scallion pancakes and wings are awesome!), great abience, and a proud owner to match. Chef Lou was friendly, inviting and had a great sense of humor. He truly loves what he does and making his customers happy. On the contrary, the waitress and hostess were a bit too serious and not as personable. Other than that, the food was good, the experience was great and I will definitely be back.
