Drink The Wine, Eat The Pasta
$36.00 per person
Multiple dates available
Let's be honest, the best conversations have been made over Pasta & Wine. Whether its shouting from the rooftops proclaiming true love, or the obligatory full mental breakdown over a work email. Pasta and a good (or bad) bottle has always been there. Its what defines us. It's what makes us who we are. Michelangelo didn't paint the Sistine Chapel on an empty stomach. He was inspired by the mouth-watering combination of cheesy, perfectly al dente, godly bowl of pasta & a dry, peppery glass of vino. Let's pay an homage to Italy by offering your next memorable experience with us. We will be offering a Cacio e Pepe & Wine Tasting for $35. You get to choose 3, 2oz. pours off our wine list accompanied by a dish a Cacio E Pepe.

Didn't realize Larosa even existed in Andover until just recently and tried it for the first time. Dinner was excellent. Have to go back for lunch now!

I have been to some of the nicest restaurants in the world, including Abu Dhabi, and that was the best veal I have ever experienced in my entire life. Not to mention Brendan gave us five star service that I have not even seen in four seasons hotels. I will definitely be returning.

Absolutely lovely dinner! The hostess was very friendly and started our drink order, our server was outstanding, and the team went across the street to get a Cremé Brûlée from a different restaurant when my mother misunderstood and thought she ordered one! They were all top notch!!

We go there a lot and this one time, felt the food was just OK. Most of the time it’s always excellent. I felt the waiter was not aware, but he was rushing us, my wife was still eating and I forget who it was but he came over and took my plate and asked my wife if she was done while she was eating Again, I don’t think he knew he was doing something wrong. He was just trying to stay in front of it. We ended up being there for 45 minutes and we’re both disappointed when we left we play a game when we leave we score our restaurant and we both felt it was like a strong six and it’s usually a strong nine from a scale from one to 10.

We were in town for a wedding and heard this was one of the best Italian restaurants in Andover. We were not disappointed! Fresh pasta, great specials, delicious salads, and a nice wine list! Our server Tara was very friendly and knowledgeable and we would highly recommend.
