We were looking for an eatery close by that serves lunch and came across "Andiamo" in Andover and it was just 10 minutes away on I93 south right off the highway! We were greeted by Emily a pleasant Hostess/Waitress! Andiamo had a nice Pub atmosphere and we were seated in a corner booth! We started with 2 Martinis that were filled to the brim which Emily very carefully brought to the table so not to spill a drop! We had checked the menu online and were both interested in their Chicken Piccata which had gotten rave reviews from fellow Yelper's and that dish didn't disappoint, we both loved it, the chicken was tender and the pasta cooked perfectly El Dente, and it was a huge portion, enough to satisfy the healthiest appetite! For dessert we opted for the Tiramisu that we took to go! After we got home we were looking forward to our tasty treat later in the day! Since our Chicken Piccata entrees were so delicious we thought that the Tiramisu would be as well, it wasn't! We both agreed that it was the worst Tiramisu that we've ever had! Instead of it consisting of the traditional ingredients of coffee soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese and whipped egg yolks, it was like eating a three by two inch high square of cool whip that was topped with a sliced Strawberry, which BTW, was the only plus of this dessert! Don't know if they have their own pastry chef or they get it from a local Italian bakery but whoever makes this needs to be spoken to and at $12 a slice it was, to put it mildly, a complete ripoff! Emily, The Martinis and the Chicken Piccata were all five Stars but please skip the Tiramisu! read more

Andiamo is awesome! Jim has totally impressed us over the years, and we absolutely love supporting them. We've catered their dishes for family parties multiple times, and everyone always freaks out over how delicious everything is. The food is consistently amazing and such a crowd-pleaser. It's also a GREAT dine-in experience - beautiful, welcoming, and just as delicious when you eat there. Highly recommend! read more

The food here was pretty good, but what really sold this place with a level of service received from our gentleman waiter yesterday. He absolutely killed it with a level of service and attention provided to all of us at our party. The ambience here is quite different compared to the other location in North Andover, which is a bit brighter, and whereas this one is darker and more intimate. I prefer the North Andover location in terms of ambience, but to each their own when it comes to what they prefer. read more

Fast service! We tried lettuce wraps with crispy chicken. It was delicious and filling. Aioli sauce was light and not too garlicky. Space was spacious and clean. They have a beautiful brick oven and a fancy coffee machine :)Will be back again next week read more

Ambiance was ok, nice. I sat at the bar and the bartender was good. The food was delicious! Would definitely visit again. So why not 5 stars and only 4? I had a veal chop. Although the taste was perfect, the chop was probably the most not tender veal chop I've ever had. If it was a tender veal chop this would've been 5+ stars. The taste was delicious though. The mushrooms delicious! The pasta cooked perfectly. read more

I've had dinner at Andiamo a few times and each experience has been great. The food and drink, service, and ambiance are all among the best in the area. Most recently I tried the Ficchi pizza which was an excellent blend of sweet, salty, and savory. The pizza is big enough to share with someone else or have by yourself with some leftovers to take home. I have also enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli and the chicken parmigiana. I enjoy the cocktails as much as the food. Their espresso martini is the best I've ever had since it comes with a double shot of fresh espresso. They serve it dark but can add Baileys upon request. There are gluten-free options for pizza and pasta which I have not tried but it's great that they're an option. read more

Just a few notes about their caymus and cutlets special. Went there last week and had this special. First the waitress asked if we wanted bread. She brought us a plate of the oil dip and said she as waiting on the bread. I assumed it was in the oven. We waited about 10 more minutes and she brought our meals AND the bread at the same time. HUGE pet peeve getting all foods at the same time. The bread wasn't really warm so my assumption that it was still baking was way off. She simply forgot us. And there were only about 8 other people in the entire place! The wine pour is 6 oz on this special so we decided to upgrade to 9 which costs an additional $5 each. The serving size of the cutlet with pasta was small, but it was about right for me. If you expect a large portion for this you might be disappointed. However, the chicken was also thicker than a traditional cutlet. Not thin and crispy. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The vodka sauce was a little spicy which I liked but I don't think is the norm. The worst part was the apple crisp for dessert. The waitress warned us the dish was hot, and it was! Unfortunately the interior of the apple crisp was actually cold. Not hot , not warm...refrigerator cold! We returned it and she brought us another one. It was warmer inside but it was literally all "crisp" and no apple! We found 3 small slices of apple in it. The rest was a bowl full of mushy overly sweet oatmeal. It was far from crisp and far from apple! We ate a few bites digging for more apples but gave up. I told the waitress and she apologized, however it remained on the bill. It clearly should have been removed. Good food but poor service this time! read more

Looks fancy but the food is tasteless, bland and just not good. Ordered chicken Caesar salad and polomotio pizza. Salads came out at different times like 20 minutes apart. Never had the anchovies on top of the salad not blended with Cesar dressing. Chicken on top came one giant piece dry as a camels ass. Dressing was like water. The meatball pizza was flavorless and dough was raw in the middle. I thought with that big pizza oven on display it would've been good. Bar counter served service was not good chaos. The kept trying to give us different people's food. Food looked way better than it tasted. Ambiance Place needs floors cleaned and bathroom dirty read more

Let me paint a picture of Andiamo Restaurant - Bar & Café in Andover, MA, a place where culinary magic, warmth, and sophistication fuse into an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment my wife and I stepped inside, we were enveloped in an atmosphere buzzing with energy and charm. The staff--especially the bartender--was not just attentive but professionally charismatic and socially engaging, making us feel like honored guests rather than mere patrons. Every request was met with genuine warmth and a smile, and the service was so flawless it bordered on choreographed elegance. Onto the food--oh, the food! My wife's Chicken Piccata was nothing short of a masterpiece: a crispy, golden chicken cutlet draped in a velvety wine butter sauce that danced on the palate, each bite a symphony of texture and flavor. As for me, I indulged in The Italiano, a meaty marvel piled high on fresh ciabatta bread, kissed with vintage balsamic dressing that elevated every ingredient to new heights. And the truffle fries--crispy, golden, and dusted with just the right amount of truffle essence--were so delectable I found myself sneaking extra bites from my wife's plate. The cocktails? Simply spectacular. The Andiamo-old Fashioned, crafted with Whistle Pig Piggy Back Rye 6 Year, was a robust, perfectly balanced libation that warmed the soul. The Pear Sage Metropolitan was a refreshing, fruity concoction that brightened the afternoon and left us craving more. Every detail, from the ambiance to the presentation, screamed passion for hospitality. Our lunch at Andiamo Restaurant wasn't just a meal--it was a celebration of flavor, service, and style. If you're anywhere near Andover, do yourself a favor and experience this gem. Five stars just aren't enough! Our experience at Andiamo Restaurant - Bar & Café in Andover, MA was already extraordinary, but it reached new heights of indulgence with the arrival of dessert. The Chocolate Soufflé Cake was a revelation--rich, deeply chocolatey, and impossibly light, with a warm, molten center that melted in the mouth. Paired with a generous scoop of silky smooth vanilla gelato, the dessert was the perfect finale: the cool creaminess of the gelato balanced the intense cocoa notes of the soufflé cake, creating a harmony of flavors and textures that left us utterly enchanted. From the impeccable, personable service to the spectacular cocktails and every delectable bite--including that unforgettable, dreamy dessert--Andiamo is a culinary destination that sets the bar sky-high. Our lunch was more than a meal; it was a memory made, and we'll be back for every course--especially that Chocolate Soufflé Cake. read more

Came in after a long rainy track meet at umass Lowell and could not have been welcomed any better. We had dog in car and owner accommodated us by setting us up by the window when she heard we were going to eat in the car. Food and service were amazing. Great end to a wet stressful day. read more

I was very surprised by this gem. Reading reviews I was expecting a little "mom & pop" cafe. Surprised to find not the case. I would call this more towards fine dining. If I had been wearing street clothes I would have been uncomfortable. The food was wonderful. We had the fig pizza, special ravioli and the burger. The fries were excellent. The fig jam and burrata on pizza were scrumptious. The service was excellent. Everything was timed well. read more

Their food is amazing. For me, I eat with eyes first and they nailed it. The taste and value are really good. They are very relaxed too, so if you come very hungry it's a bad move. Making a reservation, you need to make sure you need a table if you need it. They have an equal amount of bar chairs and tables. And the table ran out very fast. The restaurant was very tidy and cozy. I love how they don't rush us to get out when there isn't one lined up. The only criticism is the host has an attitude problem when we give them feedback about telling the patron when they need a table. Because not everyone knows about the limited amount and my father-in-law is disabled so he needs a table. Overall, everyone was happy with all the food, and the waitress read more

We were in town for a softball tourney and this place was hopping! I figured that many people couldn't be wrong, so we decided to give it a shot. It did not disappoint. My son eats the same two things everywhere we go: pizza or pasta. Those dishes don't typically come with a side, but here you can get fries with your pasta! It's the little things that make a kids day. My chicken marsala was good, but I've gotta skip straight to the dessert charcuterie board. If that was the last thing I ate before I died, I'd be okay with it! It came with brownies, chocolate chip cookies, cheese, vanilla cake, cannoli chips, and assorted dips. It's probably a good thing I don't have an Andiamo's near where I live because I'd be as big as a house! Seriously, RUN there and get that board! read more

Our night out was great . I had the salmon which was delicious and my husband had the chicken parm and it was plentiful. Our server was fantastic and very attentive. The manager came over to check on us also. We sat on the back room so it wasn't too loud. We will definitely be back read more

The entry to the restaurant can be confusing. The door facing the street was lock. You have to go to the side door across from the daycare. It appeal to be a nice family establishment with lots of local customers. The food was tasty. the prices were a little on the high side. The portion were reasonable. The service was good. I would dine here again. read more

Rachel did a fantastic job of steering us into a lots of great good. Quiet Sunday evening. Great food. Had the mixed antipasto plate and added a burette ball that was the size of a softball. All good but more than enough to serve 4. Had the last of two winter specials. Short ribs with short rib ravioli and duck confit carbonara. All excellent. Second time here. Won't be my last. read more

This was the last straw. My husband and I have been going to Andiamo's for years, it was our favorite spot. Something changed over the last year, and every time we go, it's gotten worse and worse. We went in on Saturday afternoon. The hostess, who was also our waitress was extremely overwhelmed. There were several large parties and she was huffy from the start. She was upset at the time, we got there at about 3:20 and she said she had a party at 4:45. I told her we wouldn't take that long, we never have, usually an hour, max. We sat down and she rushed us for our order (literally, the second we sat down, we didn't look at the menu yet) I ordered the antipasto plate, which was really good. We didn't know what we wanted for drinks yet, so we took a second, she was not happy about this. She came back about 15 minutes later, again in a huff, to take our drink order. We asked if we could order dinner also. We were trying to be respectful of her, and the party that was coming in next. I ordered my go to (Chicken Milanese) my husband ordered a burger * Well Done * this is important to remember. When the food finally came out, his burger was completely RAW. My Milanese looked like butter soup, to the point I poured half of the butter soup off of my plate, onto another plate that was on our table (because she didn't remove anything) I refused to eat it, it looked absolutely disgusting. Apparently, in the last few weeks they changed their menu and it now comes with a different pasta, and the sauce, which was once a white cream like sauce is now yellow, like melted butter, that wont stick to the noodle. When the waitress came back to check on things, about 15 minutes after the food was delivered, I questioned the changes (mostly the butter soup) and was met with major attitude. She tried to rush away, but my husband spoke up about his raw burger. She responded (again, with attitude) "I told them well done, that's not my fault" Regardless, his order was made incorrectly, and the butter soup wasn't what I ordered. I'm disappointed, this was our go to restaurant for several years. I don't know what changed over the last year or so, but those changes are not good. read more

I really enjoyed my meal here. The meatball appetizer was very flavorful. I wasn't a fan of the eggplant because it felt too spongy to me but my friend loved the texture. The staff is extremely friendly and informative. The restaurant has more of a sports bar feel than a typical Italian restaurant. Definitely worth a trip, or two, to try out their fare. read more

Excellent once again. The antipasti appetizer easily is enough for four and it is a fantastic collection of meats, cheeses and more. My go to meal is the veal chop - excellent! Only improvement is I order scotch rocks and they seem to be too perfect- they use to be generous pours. read more

Went tonight. My favorite entree, butternut squash ravioli, was taken off the menu. I was shocked! So I tried the vegetarian risotto. Not so good. Too many vegetables, not enough risotto. read more
