We recently had lunch at Capellini's Italian Restaurant in Tewksbury, MA- Capellini's is a small Italian restaurant, but comfortable inside. The service is always fantastic- very warm and friendly. The food is always great. Recommend the Avocado Salad, or any of the haddock dishes. All in all, a great lunch. Would recommend! read more

Stopped by yesterday & ordered the Pho here, tasted like piss with a side of noodles, the service there was HORRIBLE, they were extremely rude and refused to serve me for almost 30 minutes. Only redeeming factor were the drinks. read more

We went here after my nana's funeral. We were there a little early but this place still was ready to accommodate us all, including having more guests than originally planned. They did a special menu for large gatherings for $25 including a soup or salad, entire, and dessert. Overall it was good, but the service was a little slower than expected. There was only one waitress for our entire table and she did a great job. read more

Service was fine. Food was cold and no flavor. They use to be very good. Won't be going back. read more

The cappelini with chicken was very tasty, and the portion size left me enough for lunch the next day. read more

The service was great and the restaurant was cozy and cool on a hot summer night! My husband enjoyed the Scallop Fra Diavlo! It had great spice and the scallops were cooked well. I got the chicken Verona and it too was delicious. My daughter had the ravioli and meatball and ate every bite so I know she enjoyed her meal and my son got the Baked Haddock which unfortunately he was disappointed with because it was overcooked and rubbery. For dessert we got the blonde brownie sundae to share and it was eaten in 30 seconds! Overall a nice place for dinner! read more

Entrees where ok, a little overpriced. Broccoli side is just boiled and served with water in the dish. Careful! I added it to my main dish by accident. Service is good. read more

The staff was really nice and welcoming but the food down the road at Angelina's or Al Fresca's is much better. Still an ok spot in a pinch though. read more

The service was terrible, took like 20 minutes just for her to come back and get out food and took her 30 minutes for us to then order. horrible service. My food was terrible I ordered a fettuccine Alfredo and it was soupy and disgusting. The owner didn't do anything she just socialized and sat with customers while the servers cleaned up the tables. Serve was too slow and food was terrible. read more

Had a great chicken picatta there today! The pre meal bread and olive oil is a nice addition.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, we were seated very quickly. Our server was very kind and knew the menu very well. Our orders came out well prepared. The ambience is very casual. This is just a very good local restaurant. read more

Got a To go order, chic parm.. was very good The only issue was the small catering tray does not feed 4-6. It came with ziti also which was very good, but this will feed 3 people tops! read more

We went with friends to Capellini's last week. My husband and I ordered chicken cutlet Parmesan and our friends ordered shrimp Diablo and chicken Valdostana. All four of us were very happy with our meals. The chicken Parm was some of the best that I have had. The service was friendly and efficient. I was in a wheelchair and found everything accessible. My husband and I stopped to get gas on the way home. While he was out pumping gas, I ate his leftover chicken Parm ha ha. I had no utensils, and I didn't care! When we got home, he was a little surprised when he opened his container of leftovers. So yes, I would recommend Capellini's big time! read more

The service was good, we had an appetizer (fried calamari) which was good and two veal dishes, one was listed as having Prosciutto (veal saltimboca) which was nowhere to be found, although it was ok, the other veal Marsala has very little of what was supposed to have as ingredients, mushrooms and prosciutto but was ok. The ambiance was relatively quiet and the seating prompt. We'll go back but they could do better in the cooking side. The wine was priced a little too high in comparison to other similar places. read more

A great little 25+ year local place where the owners prepare the food!Unbelievable, from the wine, to the meal, to the dessert, to the Service!Isabelle was awesome from her recommendations to her effervescent, free spirited personality! (She will be a great nurse someday soon!!) Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, Ravioli, and Meatballs were top-notch but were out done by warm pumpkin spice cake, vanilla ice cream w/caramel sauce dessert!! A wicked fantastic meal and evening in Tewksbury!!! read more

Many years later it's still fantastic. Great food, quality, portions and selection. We keep going back. read more

I grew up in Tewksbury , haven't been back in years. Decided to stop at capellini's for an early dinner . 10 years later and the food is still spot on. Cozy atmosphere, friendly waitstaff . I had veal saltibucca over fettuccine which could easily have rivaled any Italian meal in the north end . And a delicious fresh crispy salad . Hats off to the kitchen staff for your skills !!! read more

Always great, Italian chicken broccoli ziti with great sauce! I got takeout, but if you stay in the restaurant, it's nice and cozy. Nice bread and olive oil. Just wonderful. read more

Outstanding is the only way to describe the food and the service!! I highly recommend this place!!

Very good food and service. I believe that it is a family owned restaurant. It is not far from our home in Billerica. Parking is easy.

Made my own pizza with grilled chicken, artichokes, broccoli, spinach and roasted red peppers. Tyler in the kitchen absolutely nailed it This was our first time at Capellini's and let me tell you between our server Kelly and most delicious pizza I've had in a long time, we will be back ! The staff were friendly and very attentive, kept the drinks flowing and made our dining experience a perfect ladies night out! read more

Capellini's Italian Restaurant - Pizza with grilled chicken, broccoli, artichokes, roasted red peppers and spinach - Italian Near Me - Tewksbury, Massachusetts

We've been customers for years. We've eaten in, gotten take out, and ordered trays for numerous parties over the years. In the past, we've been generally satisfied. This review pertains to our experience this past Monday night. First, the restaurant was freezing, and the AC was blowing cold air. Despite comments from other patrons, there was no attempt to adjust the thermostat. Perhaps the system was broken. Second, it seemed as though the portions have gotten smaller. I realize restaurants are dealing with supply chain issues and inflation, but the prices have gone up as well. Third, worst of all, my meal horrendous and possibly the worst meal I've ever had an Italian restaurant. I ordered the homemade gnocchi with bolognese sauce. What appeared in front of me looked almost like cubes of tofu in a cream sauce. The "gnocchi" were huge (not a good thing) so that I had to cut into them with a knife. Because they were so big, they were undercooked and were chewy and doughy. The "bolognese" sauce had barely any meat in it. The whole family was disappointed, and we won't be returning until we see evidence that they've improved. read more

Food was good,service was great we had some issues with our martinis but was fixed immediately waitress was very attentive, nice quiet a little dark will be back read more

Best date night restaurant in town! The shrimp and scallop sauté is fantastic, the service is always excellent, prices reasonable. Best bread ever! read more

Capellini's Italian Restaurant - Scallop and shrimp Alfredo. It's amazing!!! - Italian Near Me - Tewksbury, Massachusetts

We went here last night. We both ordered lasagna with 2 meatballs. The lasagna had a tiny bit of cheese in between the pasta. No sauce except for the very top of the pasta. No mozzarella! Very dry and cold. Asked for bread, 2 pieces (that was ok), cold and no butter, came with oil which tasted diluted. This is a rating for the meal only. Our waitress was excellent. ! Very disappointed. read more

Recently had dinner here the food was awesome!! The wait staff is very attentive and make great recommendations. Highly recommended this restaurant!!! read more

Great food! It's like eating at someone's home- so cozy and friendly. Be sure to ask for Mary, she gave us the best service.

30$ for both meals to go plus tip Oily??? Not very saucy just like watery oily? Maybe they made it to fast? I mean the chicken and broccoli was so basic I can make that at home The chicken Alfredo was good but for 15$ eh Also could make it better at home especially for the price I would be getting more lol and less oily Maybe I'll try it some day sitting in read more

Capellini's Italian Restaurant - Chicken Alfredo and chicken and broccoli - Italian Near Me - Tewksbury, Massachusetts

Capellini's is wonderful! We were travelling as a group of 50 soccer players/staff and had catering services from Capellini's for 3 suppers over 3 days. Their menu offered a variety of dishes that kept our group well nourished and happy. Dealing with the restaurant was amazing. The communication was quick and clear, delivery was prompt, and the food was delicious. Maria was incredibly helpful in suggesting dishes and substitutions that were popular with the crowd. I highly recommend Capellini's to provide any group with great meals. read more

Stopped for lunch and so glad I did! Great menu selections and food was delicious. Server was welcoming and attentive and service was fantastic. Comfortable casual atmosphere and guessing a hotspot for locals. read more

Delicious. From calamari to cannoli and everything in between. So awesome great food, drinks and service.

When I first started going to Capellini's the food was delicious. I've ordered several different things on the menu but my favorite was always the Capellini Special. A few years ago, anything with pasta and sauce, whether it be a red or white, whatever, was watered down because the pasta was not strained enough and watered down the sauce which in the end took away the flavor of the whole dish. I had considered asking the server to ask the chef to make sure they strain the pasta of all water but I didn't see that going over well. I hadn't gone back in awhile and I finally decided to try again about a month ago. Unfortunately, same story. I ended up lifting my pasta plate and straining the water into another dish. I am writing this in hopes that someone from the restaurant reads this and tells the chefs to take and extra five seconds and get the water out of the pasta before putting the sauce on. Also, to let them know, I have a circle of friends who use to frequent their restaurant have said the same thing. The recipe's are good, PLEASE stop watering them away! read more

If there was a 2.5 I would pick that. Service was good but food was so so. The chicken parm was barely warm, and the bread tasted like it was store bought. We won't be back. read more

Been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Very nice and professional waitstaff. Food was awesome and presented well. Atmosphere is quaint and relaxing. I have no problem recommending Capellini's. read more

Haven't sat down there in awhile but did order takeout. $35 bucks for a panini ( more like an oversized slider) with side salad. Thought it would be big enough to have two "halves" as in I was going to eat a half sandwich and leave the 2nd half for my son who was coming home from work late. I ate like 1/4 of it and felt guilty it was so small. Eggplant was not cooked enough, was chewy. No sauce on it at all?? Son ate the sandwich. Asked him if he was going to have the salad...he said he opened it and there was a hair in it so that went right in the trash. Also ordered a chicken parm dinner. It must have been a half of a chicken breast. Pasta was an optional side...(?) for 18 bucks? It's pasta.. Appallingly small portion. Real bummer. I dont mind spending 35 bucks but I found the portions for that price...insulting. Really disappointing. read more

We had the most wonderful experience on September 26th. It was a rainy night but very warm and inviting inside the restaurant. The food was hot and delicious! The coffee was great! And the chocolate cake and Tiramisu unbelievable! Laurie, our server, was great. She was attentive and very friendly! She even gave us extra whipped cream for "dessert" later...lol! Thanks!! read more

This was some of the blandest Italian food I've ever had. We got two apps, two entrees and salad. The food wasn't worth finishing. My standards for Italian food may be high after living in the North End for a number of years, but there are some dishes any decent Italian restaurant should be able to turn out passably or better. read more

Whoa.. I can't believe there's not more 5 star reviews for this place! We had our first visit about a month ago and we're hooked. The dipping oil for the bread is so amazing! I've had stuffed shells, chicken parm and chicken piccata. Every single thing has been so delicoius. My Fiance loves this place and got two different salmon dishes and has been nothing but happy! The most amazing dessert on the planet.. you must get is the pumpkin cake! Whoa. The waitstaff here is absolutely the nicest waitstaff ever!!! read more

My girlfriend and I were in the mood for Italian and she mentioned a place she loved that she defined as a "hidden gem". It was my first time dining at Capellini's walking in we had a very friendly greeting from the manager and a host- I have to say the food was tasty, savory and well prepared. The service was excellent, and its a cozy, cute and romantic little place. It's a nice restaurant to get a glass of wine and have a large selection of Italian favorites. We had the wedge salad, toasted raviolis and minestrone soup to start. We then finished with the chicken parmigiana, stuffed shells (the favorite) and chicken Marsala. The portions were huge which gave us leftovers for tomorrow This is definitely a place I would come back to and if you haven't tried it out you should. Thank you! read more
