Best Cozy Restaurants in Swampscott

Let me start by saying that we ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. Ledger is our go to place for special occasions, and we will continue to be back. On this visit however, there were a few minor issues that we haven't previously experienced here. The Popovers, an absolute must everytime we come, were a touch overcooked and tasted it. Also the cocktails at $15 a pop shouldn't be 80% ice in my opinion. And while I understand that this place features the grill on the kitchen, the vegetable medley on my chicken entree had several pieces of delecata squash that were beyond a good char. As mentioned, I'm sure this is a "one off" experience, as nothing like this has ever happened before, but I believe in honest feedback as a way to grow and improve, not necessarily just to be critical. I've appreciated this place for the better part of the last 7 or 8 years, and know that everything can't be perfect everytime, no matter how hard we try. Chef Daniel, and this culinary team are very skilled (there's a reason he was previously nominated for a James Beard award), and the FOH staff is always attentive and welcoming!

This place is great. I took my fiance there for Valentine’s Day and the food/drinks/ambiance were on spot. The staff were nice and checked in on us accordingly. I think the owners name is Amil (or Amille). He introduced himself to each of the customers including us. I would definitely come back again. There’s street parking but if you can’t find a spot, there’s small outdoor parking lots available a block or two away (just look for the Peabody parking lot signs) Thank you! Carlos

Went for a valentines 3 course fixed price offering and every thing exceeded expectations. Excellent flavor in every dish served. Wine and food very good value. Sat in back and felt it was better choice than towards front door. Highly recommend

Despite being quite busy on the Valentine day, service and food were excellent. We had fried eggplant for an appetizer and both had Chilean sea bass special for the entree. Service timing was perfect. My only request would be a bit better choice of white wine by the glass variety. Other than that, all good. With a parking lot across the street Rossetti is great. Will come again.

Had a lovely lunch with a friend in a delightful relaxed club like cozy setting. The menu was large and varied enough that we were able to dine on what we truly desired. The wait staff was very accommodating and allowed us all the time we required to decide and chat. I Highly recommend this warm library atmosphere for a casual dining encounter or a business lunch
