You’re not just getting dinner. You’re getting an evening where every bite of our grilled calamari, lobster ravioli, and signature seafood dishes connects you to Italy’s Abruzzo coast. Our chefs use traditional techniques with the freshest local catches, creating meals that turn regular nights into celebrations.
When you walk through our doors, the aroma of garlic, herbs, and perfectly seared seafood tells you immediately – this isn’t your typical suburban restaurant. Each dish arrives as it should: hot, fresh, and prepared exactly to order using natural ingredients and authentic Italian methods.
The result? Meals worth remembering, conversations that flow as smoothly as our wine selection, and the kind of dining experience that makes you want to bring everyone you care about back here.
Since 2004, we’ve been Westford’s connection to authentic Italian coastal dining. We’re not trying to be everything to everyone – we’re focused on one thing: bringing you the real flavors of Italy’s Abruzzo region without the trip to Boston’s North End.
Our founder Anna Mountzuris built our restaurant around a simple concept: organic meats, fresh fish, and vegetables prepared exactly as they would be along Italy’s coast. We often bring in chefs directly from Abruzzo because authentic technique can’t be faked or rushed.
Westford families have been celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and date nights with us for two decades. That’s not by accident – it’s because we consistently deliver what matters most: exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes every meal feel special.
Every seafood dish starts with our daily selection of the freshest catches, sourced from trusted suppliers who understand our standards. Our chefs prepare each order individually – no heat lamps, no shortcuts, no compromises on quality.
Take our signature grilled calamari. The squid is cleaned and prepared fresh each morning, then grilled to order with our house blend of herbs and olive oil. The result is tender, flavorful calamari that actually tastes like the sea – not rubber.
Our lobster ravioli follows the same principle: fresh pasta made in-house, real lobster meat, and a vodka pink sauce that’s been perfected over twenty years. Each plate is finished with fresh herbs and served at the perfect temperature.
You’ll taste the difference immediately. This is how Italian coastal cuisine is supposed to be: simple ingredients, expert technique, and respect for the natural flavors of fresh seafood.

Our menu features the complete range of Abruzzese coastal specialties: from our famous grilled calamari and lobster ravioli to seafood risotto with shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, and calamari. Each dish represents authentic Italian technique applied to the freshest available seafood.
Westford diners appreciate that we’re not a chain restaurant trying to please everyone. We’re specialists in Italian seafood cuisine, using imported ingredients like our signature truffle from the Abruzzo region. Our wine selection complements each dish perfectly, chosen specifically to enhance the coastal Italian dining experience.
The atmosphere supports the food: elegant enough for special occasions, comfortable enough for family dinners. Our upstairs dining room accommodates private celebrations up to 45 people, while the main dining area features the warm, inviting ambiance that’s made us Westford’s choice for romantic date nights and milestone celebrations.
We also understand Westford’s dining preferences – generous portions, reasonable prices, and the kind of consistent quality that brings families back year after year.
We specialize exclusively in Abruzzese coastal cuisine – the authentic seafood dishes from Italy’s Adriatic coast region. Unlike restaurants that offer generic Italian-American food, we focus specifically on traditional seafood preparations from this coastal area, using imported ingredients like our signature truffle and employing chefs trained in authentic Abruzzese techniques.
Our seafood is prepared fresh to order using traditional methods: our grilled calamari is cleaned and seasoned each morning, our lobster ravioli features house-made pasta with real lobster meat, and our seafood risotto includes five different types of fresh seafood. You’re getting restaurant-quality Italian coastal cuisine without traveling to Boston’s North End.
Yes, our upstairs private dining room accommodates up to 45 people for seated dinners and 55 for cocktail events. We regularly host birthday celebrations, anniversaries, graduations, and corporate functions with custom menus tailored to your group’s preferences.
For dietary restrictions, we work with guests to modify our seafood dishes appropriately. Many of our preparations use simple, natural ingredients – olive oil, garlic, herbs, and fresh seafood – which makes accommodations easier. We recommend calling ahead to discuss specific needs so our chefs can prepare accordingly.
Since we make everything to order, we have flexibility that chain restaurants don’t offer. Whether it’s adjusting preparations for allergies or creating special combinations for your event, we’ll work with you to ensure everyone enjoys their meal.
Our signature grilled calamari is what many guests remember most – it’s tender, flavorful, and completely different from the typical fried calamari most people expect. The lobster ravioli in vodka pink sauce is another standout, featuring house-made pasta and real lobster meat.
For a complete experience, try our seafood risotto with shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, and calamari – it showcases our authentic Abruzzese technique with multiple types of fresh seafood. The linguini with half lobster, garlic, plum tomato, and basil is perfect for those who want a classic Italian coastal preparation.
First-time visitors often start with our pan-fried calamari appetizer, then move to either the lobster ravioli or seafood risotto. Both dishes represent what we do best: authentic Italian coastal cuisine with the freshest ingredients and traditional preparation methods.
We source our seafood daily from trusted suppliers who meet our quality standards for freshness and sustainability. Our calamari is cleaned fresh each morning in our kitchen, and we select lobster, scallops, shrimp, clams, and mussels based on what’s best available that day.
This daily selection process means our menu can vary slightly based on seasonal availability, but it guarantees you’re getting the freshest possible seafood. Our chefs inspect each delivery personally and won’t accept anything that doesn’t meet our standards.
The difference is immediately noticeable in taste and texture. Fresh seafood has a clean, ocean flavor without any “fishy” taste, and proper handling maintains the natural sweetness and tenderness. When you order our grilled calamari or seafood risotto, you’re getting seafood that was swimming recently, not sitting in freezers for weeks.
We strongly recommend making reservations, especially for weekend dinners and special occasions. You can call us directly or book through OpenTable or Resy for immediate confirmation of your preferred time and seating area.
For our upstairs dining room, which offers a more elegant atmosphere with chandeliers and large windows, reservations are particularly important during peak dining hours. The downstairs area has both bar seating and traditional tables, offering more flexibility for walk-ins during slower periods.
If you’re planning a special celebration or have specific seating preferences (quieter table, larger group accommodation), mention this when making your reservation. We’ve been serving Westford families for twenty years, and we want to make sure your dining experience meets your expectations from the moment you arrive.
Our seafood entrees are priced competitively with other fine dining establishments in the Westford area, typically ranging from moderate to upscale depending on the dish and market prices for fresh seafood. Lobster dishes and specialty preparations like our signature veal chop with truffle cost more due to premium ingredients.
Portion sizes are generous – most guests take home leftovers, and many dishes are easily shared. Our seafood risotto, for example, is substantial enough for a full meal, and our pasta dishes with seafood include significant portions of both pasta and protein.
The value comes from the quality and authenticity of the preparation. You’re paying for fresh, daily-sourced seafood prepared using traditional Italian techniques by experienced chefs, served in an elegant atmosphere that’s perfect for special occasions. Most guests find the combination of quality, portion size, and dining experience well worth the investment.
