You’re craving that perfect Italian meal—the kind where every bite transports you straight to the Italian coast. The problem? Most local spots serve the same predictable dishes with shortcuts that show.
Here’s what changes when you choose authentic Italian dining. Your evening starts with handcrafted pasta made fresh daily, not pulled from a freezer. You taste the difference in our Abruzzese specialties—coastal Italian cuisine featuring the finest seafood and that rare tartufo mushroom found only in Italy’s Abruzzo region.
Your family gets generous portions of food that’s actually made to order. No reheating. No compromise. Just the kind of Italian dining experience that makes you want to come back next week.
We’ve been serving Wakefield families authentic Italian cuisine since 2004. That’s two decades of perfecting recipes, building relationships, and proving that you don’t need to drive to Boston’s North End for exceptional Italian food.
Our founder Anna Mountzuris brought a clear vision: create an Italian restaurant that honors the Abruzzese tradition with organic meats, fresh fish, and vegetables prepared exactly as they would be along Italy’s coast. We hire chefs directly from the Abruzzo region because authenticity isn’t negotiable.
Wakefield chose us as their neighborhood Italian restaurant because we deliver consistency. Same quality ingredients. Same attention to detail. Same commitment to making your dining experience memorable, whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth.
Your meal begins the moment you place your order—not hours earlier in some prep kitchen. Our chefs start with fresh, natural ingredients sourced locally when possible, imported from Italy when necessary.
Each pasta dish is prepared individually. Your seafood is selected for that specific plate. Even our bread is baked fresh daily. This approach takes longer than assembly-line cooking, but it’s why your chicken parmigiana actually tastes different from the place down the street.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. The pasta has the right texture. The sauces taste bright and balanced. The portions are generous enough that you’ll likely take some home. That’s what happens when a restaurant commits to doing things the right way, every single time.
