You’re done settling for chain Italian food that tastes like it came from a factory. You want the real thing – pasta made fresh that morning, truffle that actually came from Italy, and service that makes you feel like family.
That’s exactly what happens here. Authentic Abruzzese recipes using organic ingredients and traditional techniques. The kind of meal where you taste the difference immediately and understand why people drive from surrounding towns.
Your evening becomes about more than dinner. It becomes about discovering flavors you didn’t know existed outside of Italy, in an atmosphere that transforms an ordinary night into something worth remembering.
Since 2004, we’ve earned our reputation as Concord’s most authentic Italian restaurant. Anna Mountzuris founded our restaurant with a simple mission: bring genuine Abruzzese tradition to Massachusetts families who know the difference between real Italian food and mass-produced imitations.
We hire chefs trained in Italy’s Abruzzo region because authenticity matters. We source organic meats, fresh seafood, and imported ingredients because shortcuts show up on your plate. We’ve maintained our 4.5-star reputation for nearly two decades because consistency builds trust.
Concord residents choose us when the occasion matters – anniversaries, celebrations, and those nights when only genuine Italian hospitality will do.
You’re welcomed into dining rooms designed for conversation and connection – elegant upstairs with chandeliers and warm lighting, or the renovated downstairs featuring an expansive bar and modern atmosphere.
Fresh bread arrives while you explore our menu of handcrafted specialties. Every dish is prepared to order using traditional Abruzzese techniques. Our signature Veal Chop gets stuffed with prosciutto and fontina. Our pasta gets made fresh that morning. Our truffle actually comes from Italy.
On select evenings, live saxophone jazz creates the perfect backdrop. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply want exceptional Italian food, every detail works together to create an experience worth the drive from anywhere in Concord.

Our private dining room handles your special occasions with the same attention to detail as our regular service. Accommodating up to 45 guests for seated dinners or 55 for cocktail events, we coordinate everything so you can focus on your guests instead of logistics.
Our catering brings authentic Abruzzese flavors directly to your location. Custom menus, dietary accommodations, and the same quality ingredients that make our restaurant exceptional. No hidden fees, no corners cut, no disappointments.
Concord area residents also rely on our takeout service for restaurant-quality Italian cuisine at home. While competitors add packaging fees and shortcuts, we maintain our standards whether you’re dining in our restaurant or enjoying our food at your kitchen table.
We specialize in authentic Abruzzese cuisine from Italy’s coastal region, not Americanized Italian dishes. We import rare truffle mushrooms from the Abruzzo region and employ chefs trained in traditional Italian cooking methods – not culinary school graduates who learned Italian-American fusion.
Our signature dishes like the bone-in Veal Chop stuffed with prosciutto and fontina, or Pappardelle al Tartufo made with genuine Italian truffle, showcase regional specialties you won’t find at chain restaurants or typical Italian-American establishments.
After nearly twenty years in Concord, our reputation speaks for itself. When local residents want authentic Italian food for special occasions, they choose us because the difference is immediately apparent in every bite.

Our signature bone-in Veal Chop – stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese, topped with mushrooms and port wine reduction – consistently earns rave reviews from guests. The Pappardelle al Tartufo features authentic truffle imported from Italy’s Abruzzo region, offering flavors you won’t find elsewhere in Concord.
Fresh seafood dishes reflect our Abruzzese coastal heritage, including acclaimed Grilled Calamari and Lobster Ravioli in vodka pink sauce with crab meat and arugula. Our house-made pasta, prepared fresh daily using traditional techniques, forms the foundation of beloved dishes like our Bolognese made with beef, veal, and lamb ragout.
Each signature dish tells the story of Italy’s Abruzzo coast through carefully sourced ingredients and time-honored preparation methods. These aren’t fusion interpretations – they’re authentic regional specialties prepared exactly as they would be in coastal Italian restaurants.
We strongly recommend reservations, especially for weekend dining and special occasions. Book through our website, call us directly at our restaurant, or use OpenTable for immediate confirmation of your preferred date and time.
For private events or parties larger than six people, contact us directly to discuss your specific requirements. Our event team will coordinate room availability, menu options, and any special arrangements to ensure your gathering exceeds expectations.
Walk-ins are welcome when space permits, but our popularity in the Concord community means reservations guarantee your table. This is particularly important during peak dining hours and evenings when live saxophone music is scheduled, as these tend to book quickly.

We practice transparent pricing without hidden fees – unlike competitors who add packaging charges for takeout orders. Our carefully curated wine list complements our cuisine with fairly priced selections that enhance your dining experience without excessive markup.

You’re investing in a complete Italian experience that justifies the cost through quality, authenticity, and memorable moments.
