Best Italian Restaurants in Chestnut Hill

Pescatore is a wonderful restaurant! The food choices are great and delicious! It’s worth traveling to, but for us we are so fortunate that Pescatore is located in our neighborhood!

Great neighborhood place. Consistently good food and great service. VERY LOUD!

Great meal, service and more - perfect spot before a show at the Keswick!

The meal was an exquisite delight from start to finish, beginning with a rich, velvety lobster bisque that was both creamy and bursting with the delicate flavor of sweet lobster. The calamari that followed was tender and lightly fried, offering a crispy, golden crust with a delightful seasoning that enhanced its natural sweetness. The veal roll was the star of the show, tender and perfectly cooked, with a succulent filling of flavorful stuffing that paired beautifully with the savory sauce, creating a harmony of textures and tastes that left a lasting impression. This meal truly showcased the art of fine dining, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and expertly balanced.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable, delicious meal at La Collina from start to finish and would highly recommend. Service was exceptional and each one of us had a great dinner. The pasta special was outstanding (do not hesitate), but I have to admit that the gorgonzola filled gnocchi enjoyed by my GF were pretty amazing as well. Her husband had no difficulty devouring his entire chicken park and my husband was delighted that he could order and enjoy veal parm not included on the menu. While I do not usually order my own dessert, I just could not pass up the Lemon Gelato with Limoncello and I have to say that it was positively amazing. I cannot recall having such an unusual and memorable dessert and only wish I could re-create it. It was served in a champagne flute and I refused to leave a trace behind. Our server was extremely professional and very pleasant. It was a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was pleasantly quiet and she permitted us to stay and visit without rushing us out the door. Our valet kindly brought our vehicles to the front door and delivered the keys to our table so we were able to avoid getting wet with the light rain. Very thoughtful. All in all a great meal and we are already looking forward to a return visit.
