I really want to like evviva but they make it hard. the first time I ate there, i had the pasta…read morebolognese. It was awful. It was spaghetti sauce and cream sauce mixed together. Not what bolognese sauce is in Italy....... The next time i had the pasta with meatballs. It came with about 12 mozzarella balls in it. The balls did not melt and had NO flavor. The sauce was so acidy it was awful. The meatballs weren't great either. My husband got the Alfredo which was more like a milk sauce. I had him add more Parmesan to thicken it which helped but seriously we shouldn't have to fix the food. The waiter was nice, although he did spill beer all over the table... the bread is the best thing on the menu once you add a little parmesan, red pepper flakes and salt/pepper to the oil!

Plenty of menu options- reasonably priced with good but not crazy portions. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My only complaint was the noise level from the full dining room made it hard to hear.

Make an advanced reservation. Giabella's is very good and is very popular. Call ahead, even if you…read moreget the last minute urge. Giabella's is without a doubt the best Italian in New Hampshire. I would say it goes beyond bringing the North End of Boston to New Hampshire, it brings the best of your mother or grandmother's kitchen. The restaurant itself is spotlessly clean, and although it is not in a large spot, the tables are spaced out and for some reason it has an intimate feel in a buzzing restaurant with a good vibe. I tried one of their specialty martinis, and I was not disappointed. I also tried the recommended wine and was very happy. I am a food in Italian wine snob and both were great. Attention is paid to detail. The bread that came out before the meal was fresh and tasty. I had the eggplant and veal parm and Bella had the chicken Parm. The gravy was cooked so perfectly that we ended up, sopping it up with the bread. The meal was perfect, and we had enough to take leftovers with us. Hats off to the entire staff of Giabella's,

The inside was cramped with tables positioned tight to each other. The food was very good. We ordered their fried calamari for a starter ap. It was a smallish portion but light, tender, and tasty with their Marinara on the side. Entrees took a while as they were quite busy with the dining rooms full and an hour wait for walk ins. I had their veal saltimbocca. It was fresh, tender, and flavorful. My wife had her go to shrimp scampi and said it was also very good. Others in the party were equally happy with their dinners although my daughter thought the veal in her veal marsala was just slightly on the tough side. Service was excellent. We will go back as my wife and I am anxious to try their parmigianas, for me the veal, and for her the eggplant.

(Apr 2026) For dinner, we had a baby-spinach salad with crushed walnuts, moist dried cranberries, crumbled gorgonzola, and sweet zingy raspberry vinaigrette. And rich tender spinach, basil, and tomato tortellini, in a creamy garlic sauce. Their Mussels Fra-Diavlo were fresh tender and juicy, sauteed in garlic olive oil, with crushed red peppers and rich Pomodoro sauce. We loved their brightly-flavored chicken piccata, pan-sautéed in light fresh-tasting olive oil, with white-wine lemon-butter sauce, tasty little capers, and melt-in-your-mouth artichoke hearts. Served over creamy risotto. So good! Our server, Maybelline is the nicest best ever, with a great sense of humor. We were happy to see Dario's busy in the early evening on a Friday (Apr 2026). Their dishes are so good, each perfectly prepared and delicious. They rival any we've had in that big Olde Towne on the harbor :-). We hope that Dario's Ristorante is part of a resurgence of good food spots in this part of town.

The bruschetta was different than most, but okay. The dessert, tiramisu, was the best part of the meal. I was not familiar with the brands of Cabernet, and I wanted a glass of Rodney Strong, but it was not available by the glass. I settled for the server's recommendation. It was fine. The server was excellent and attentive. We walked away thinking that the 5 star experience we previously had, was now a 2 star and at a premium.

One star, for our waiter, and our waiter ONLY. Entirely forgettable experience here... we walked in…read morefrom the frigid evening hoping to be warmed by the restaurant but it was freezing inside and drafty. The dining room we were sat in was incredibly bright compared to the main dining room. Not a good atmosphere for when you want a relaxing dining experience + a filling meal when you're famished. I genuinely cannot describe how awkward the dining room felt. Appetizer: my friend and I each ordered caesar salad. I asked if there was a small portion because I didn't want a whole. My waiter was Italian, so I believe he didn't catch my question so my complaint isn't on him regarding the salad... but the salad was SMALL for $12. A handful and a half of romaine, the most acidic caesar dressing ever--so much that it was stinging my lips. A few croutons. And 2 anchovy filets--the best part of the salad overall, haha. I would have been okay paying $6 but not $12. Horrible start. We shared the calamari. It was flavorless with not even a touch of salt. Served with cold marinara sauce, no lemon. $16 calamari... I'd pay $8-$10 for that because I know PLENTY restaurants who have decent and thoughtfully prepared cal for the same price. We order entrees. One of my girlfriends ordered the tortellini carbonara. $26 entree. Served literally COLD, not even room temp. the sauce was minimal, it looked like a naked dish of multi-colored raviolis I used to eat growing up as a child... so yeah it looked like grocery store food with nothing added to it. She sent it back, but denied the option of ordering another meal... we had learned our lesson by now. My entree was one of the special chicken dishes. I think the most "popular" one, it was an herbed chicken or something with risotto I believe. Such an unforgettable and distasteful meal that I genuinely forget what it was. Entire dining experience was a waste of time, money, and calories lol. Our waiter was kind to give us complimentary cannolis to try and save the day :)

Great fried calamari, delicious spaghetti bolognese, delicious spaghetti alla puttanesca. OMG! I'm still drooling all over my keyboard. Soooooo good. Once you enter the restaurant, you get greeted by a stunningly beautiful employee, smiling, welcoming! Ask for something and she'll go above and beyond to exceed your expectations with a smile! When you leave you get a sincere "Thank you! Come again!". Every employee is super friendly, and they make you feel important as a customer. You don't see this often anymore these days. Truly is my favorite Italian, by far. Can't wait to go back!

Going inside of the restaurant ,however, the space is much more upscale and very nice. Prices were what I would expect for an upscale menu of this quality with most entrees between $25 and $40. I look forward to returning!

My gf got the Mediterranean Falafel Bowl which she loved and I went with the Chicken Piccata which was pretty huge. Great lemon flavor and tons of capers along with an enormous chicken breast. Would order it again in a heartbeat. Overall, a pretty enjoyable experience. We got out of there for about 65 bucks plus tip which isnt horrible for quality.
