    Avocado toast

    The best matcha we've had!! The chai was also great! Everything we ate was delicious!

    (I do not give 5-star reviews) A hidden gem on the north-shore. The owner greets you, seats you and feeds you without breaking a sweat. A customized daily menu... excellent custom drinks! She just ran out of what we wanted off the daily menu but after 2 questions whipped up one of the perfect lunches for the occasion! Perfect sandwich reflecting what we originally ordered + mood of the day and best pasta salad I may have ever had. Re-reading this review it sounds cheesy fake, but was actually my experience. Unavoidable tight seating inside, but sat on great sidewalk high tops. Perfect warm weather spot. *** Be prepared! Cash or Venmo only. *** (Again... I don't usually give 5-star reviews.)

    Amazing bruschetta - it was so good we forgot to take a photo before diving in!

    MUST VISIT. Theresa was an incredible host and chef ‍ We had such a good meal it was impossible to remember to photograph before we dug in. She hosts only a few families an evening and we were so lucky to experience it. Wow, incredible evening and culinary adventure. We will be back soon! Every bite was 10/10.

    Vegan arrancini and caprese salad

    I called when I saw they have vegan options and said I would like something to eat on the beach. The woman on the phone suggested arrancini balls and caprese salad - all vegan. The vegan cheese was so fresh, and everything was delicious! The box to carry our food to the beach was just right. The door says they can make anything on their menu vegan!

    Danielle Sonia & I had dinner at Cafe Avellino and it was absolutely delicious. Teresa Sirignano provided some of the best service and hospitality we've ever had. The food, drinks and service was top notch. If you haven't been here please check them out !!! #FlavorTown #selfcare

    Service and Avocado Toast was awesome. Also got a iced coffee and it was just how I like it. Definitely a spot you need to check out! Great selection of cannolis if you're in for a treat.

    Beware, the Owner/Chef will absolutely talk your ear off. And you'll be back for more. Expect to be surprised.

    Amazing food. One of the best traditional Italian meals ever! Not crowded and casual which I liked as well.

    Last day of vacation and again just driving around seeing the sites. Susan was a great server!…read more Kept it simple today. I had the Nikki salad. Husband had the clam chowder and haddock sandwich with onion rings. The food was great and exactly what we were looking for. The clam chowder was one of my favorites from all we sampled this trip. The addition of dill put it over the top! Seems to be another hot spot in Swampscott. Very busy place and a lot of locals. Glad we found it!!

    Good food. Dishonest pricing…read more I dined here yesterday, July the 4th. I ordered the fish-and-chip and a beer, and asked about substitutions for the fries. Among the many options presented, I chose the Caesar salad. The total for this meal? $49! (!!) The fish was listed on the menu as "market price." I neglected to ask what the price of roughly six ounces of fried white fish was at the "market" but discovered when the check came that it's $34. I'm not a fine-diner, but I'm pretty sure that 34 bucks typically gets you a much nicer dish at a much nicer restaurant. Charging that much for fish and chips is frankly dishonorable...but I guess it's part-and-parcel of the "get while the getting's good" ethic driving the affordability crisis in this country. Next, to the salad: I was charged $5 for the substitution, though the server did not warn me about this upcharge. Personally, I think it's understood when you ask about substitutions, that you are asking about FREE substitutions. If there's an incremental charge to substitute, say, a potato for french fries (I'm sure there is at Dockside, and I'd guess it's larger than it shuld be), it's incumbent on the server to declare it. Otherwise, what makes it a "substitution?" To summarize: nice enough place, greedy owners, OK but ultimately deficient service. Eat here if you want to spend $55 or so on an acceptable dinner that should cost 30 percent less.
