I am compelled to write a review for this very delicious, romantic spot. We were heading down the road to another place when Daniella's caught my eye. I always disregarded them as they have "cafe and market" in their name. I assumed sandwich and bakery. We decided to pull in and discovered a full restaurant, patio, and bar. We decided to sit at the bar as it was last minute and there were empty seats. Joanna, our bar tender, instantly greeted us and got us some delicious cocktails quickly. My cosmo was one of the best I had. We asked for some recommendations, and she was spot on. The caprese salad was a plump delicious heirloom tomato with delicious pesto, mozzarella and balsamic dressing. The arancini was a cheesy risotto in a bolognese sauce that my husband couldn't stop saying "fantastic." Same with me. We ended up splitting the sliced filet which was cooked to perfection. Oh, and I forgot about the delicious warm bread and parmigian oil that was to die for. Service and food are 5 stars. We are going to come back again and again!! Loved it. read more

Atmosphere is so loud. In the summer the atrium is where you want to sit. The restaurant is extremely loud, we could hardly hear each other. Food was good and the service was great! read more

The outdoor patio in good weather is absolutely to die for. The food was absolutely phenomenal and every bite was delicious. Service was attentive and on point throughout. I do wish the prices were a smidge lower but otherwise definitely going to be a staple place in the area for a nice date night. read more

Went for an early dinner on a Friday night with another couple. The place was high energy and loud almost too loud and did impact the social aspect of the meal. Basically we shouted at each other for an hour and a half. Service was Excellent. Cocktails were very good. Zucchini appetizer was unique with great flavor and texture. Everyone but me really enjoyed their meal I went with the veal parm which wasn't bad but not great. The veal was a little tough and seemed to lack flavor. I was also disappointed with the red sauce, it was a little sour. With that said I did enjoy the left overs for lunch the next day. I tasted the other dishes and they were truly good. I'm hoping I got the red sauce on a bad night. We ended the meal with the melt in your mouth limoncello cake. I'll be back read more

I'm going to keep this short and sweet, as that's all this restaurant deserves. Daniella's has been a favorite place of a friend of mine for years, but I've only been once or twice before. Last night with reservations for an early dinner (5.30 on a Friday night), I was looking forward to eating here. It will be the last time I ever set foot in this place. Don't get me wrong. The food is amazing; tasty, fresh ingredients, well presented. Fantastic service by Devan from start to finish. However, with four of us around the table, barely 30inches away from each other face to face, half the time spent was saying: "What?" to each other. The noise in the place was unbearable, unrealistic, and ridiculous. You can't hear yourself think, much less carry on a conversation with your dinner companions. It wasn't just at our table. I looked around and nearly everyone was leaning into hear or shout at the people they were with, or they decided to be non-conversant. Like I said good food, but I won't be going back. read more

Last couple of times my husband and I have gone, it just isn't as good as it used to be. My husband always gets the Sunday Sauce, which he loves. I got the chicken parm, and it really has gone downhill. The chicken used to be golden brown and thick, and now it is very thin, kind of burnt, and very thin. All you taste is deep fried over cooked chicken. Very sad because it used to be my favorite. read more

Service was amazing! A customer at a table nearby broke a glass and they comp'd us free dessert for our inconvenience (we were fine!)

Again another Yelp rec Parking was a little challenging, but we found street parking. We sat at the bar. The dining area was packed. So, that's a good sign. The bartender a was busy, but she was very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We started with the caesar salad and arancini which were really good. I had the chicken parm on rigatoni and my husband had the sausage orichette. Both of our meals were fresh, generous and really good. We got our leftover to go and my left overs were another meal for my 21 year old back at the hotel and then he was full! We got some dessert to go. really good. We would definitely come back in, if in the area. I definitely felt under dressed, but not judged. :) read more

Food was astoundingly delicious. I ordered veal parmigiana and the last time the veal parm sandwich which was good too. Real veal! Husband had shrimp scampi both times. Now that's remarkably good for that twice in a row. We stopped by the bakery and probably shouldn't have but came home with two boxes each time. No photos as we were hungry and the food smelled so good. Next time we'll document and let you see how lovely the presentation is. Definitely worth a night out. read more

We had dinner there-the food was outstanding- just what you'd want in Italian cooking. Finished my meal with tiramisu- heavenly For a fine dining experience they need to put more effort on sound control. Not enough room for a quiet dinner read more

My buddy and I shared a Daniella's salad for an appetizer followed with Veal Parmigiana for me and he had Chicken Marsala. Desert was an over the top rich and sweet Limoncello Cake with a dollop of cannoli filling and a pizzelle and coffee (the only weak thing of this stellar meal). Our waitress was phenomenal and the ambience great for an intimate date night (my friend is planning on returning with his gal) or a gathering of friends! Very surprised that there was a full house on a Tuesday night!! Plenty of free parking! read more

Went on Satuday night with reservations. The food was amazing- I had the Sunday sauce and it was straight from your Nona's kitchen! So Good. Wine was reasonably priced for a bottle and dessert was excellent We were seated in the middle of the restaurant so it was pretty loud for 4 of us to converse- but a great place overall. read more

Great place! We went for lunch and got sandwiches, which were delicious! I got the chicken parmesan and my mom got the chicken caprese. They were both oversized sandwiches on fresh Italian bread, stuffed with chicken and big enough to share. And then there are the desserts! Go to Daniella's, you will not be disappointed. read more

GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! I haven't been here for a while, and I just ate the Sunday dinner. I cannot remember the last time I finished an entire dish at a restaurant. It was out of this world. read more

We came last night for a birthday party, 12 of us. Absolutely fabulous on all accounts. We all order appetizers, bruschetta, Daniella's and Caesar salads, drinks and wine. A wide range of entrees, steak tips, to scampi, chicken parm, penne vodka, sausage orecchiette, sliced tenderloin. All perfectly done, we shared and raved about each other's dish. Devan our waiter was prefect, never wrote anything done, delivered to the appropriate person without fail. Top it off with a red velvet cake for my wife's 60th. Wish i could given 6 stars read more

I went with my friends last December and really enjoyed the chicken parmesan pasta. It was cooked to perfection!

Were served some bread and some tasty dipping oil. The bread was awesome. We both got salads, mine was a Caesar salad and my Wife got a Daniellas Salad. They were both tasty and fresh. My Wife ordered a Shrimp scampi which was very good over a linguine. I got the Sunday Sauce which was Rigatoni, fresh pork, 2 meatballs and 2 fresh sausages. The gravy was excellent. The whole meal great and our server Skylar B was so good. She was professional and on top of her game. read more

We have been coming to Daniella's for at least 7 years, celebrating our birthdays and other special events. Our most recent was tonight. We had a 5:00 reservation and at 7:15 we had our credit cards on the table ready to pay and the front person came to our table and told us that our time was up and they needed our table because people were waiting. We spend hundreds of dollars every time we come, ordering multiple drinks, appetizers, entrees, coffee and dessert. I was a restaurant manager in Boston for many years and this is something that we would NEVER have done. I spoke to the person afterwards and told her that if she would have spoken to our server he would have told her that we were about to pay. We will find a new restaurant for our celebratory events and will NOT be returning to Daniella's in the future. read more

Great service and atmosphere. Food didn't wow me but it was pretty good. Decent spot for a date or a dinner with friends.

Such delicious food! This place was highly recommended and now I feel obligated to do the same. A gem for sure! read more

First time and it will not be my last! Greeted by a very friendly person who let me know my table was being set. We discussed the cuisine of the restaurant and two other restaurants run by the owner. Once I got to my table, I was greeted by AJ who was super nice. The meal was one of the best I've had in a while and dessert was super good with many options to choose from. Price point was surprising based on the quality and portions. Wonderful experience and I would suggest reservations as this place was packed! read more

Food was delicious, great ambiance and our server was spectacular! Thank you Jazmine!

My fiancé and I have gotten take out here before me wanted to come back for a true dining experience! We came around 5pm on a Friday evening without reservations and were able to be seated right away. Our server was polite and efficient and the ambience of the restaurant was charming. We were started with a fresh Artisan? bread paired with olive oil that was seasoned with parmesan and red pepper flakes- scrumptious. In addition we got the caprese and it was delicious. Would order again! Tomatoes were nicely seasoned and flavorful. James got the chicken Parmesan and chose the spaghetti pasta over penne. Which he later regretted and would have preferred the penne. Chicken parm flavor was good! But would prefer the pasta to be a bit more al dente. I decided to be adventurous and got the Orecchiette, based on overhearing a neighboring table stating that's what he always got and absolutely loved. Pasta shells were nice and chewy, the flavor was great, but I was caught off guard with the soupiness of the dish. Italian sausage and the broccolini were done well to complement the Orecchiette. For dessert, I couldn't tell you what the name of it was, but will just say that the plate was empty prior to the plate being cleared! Safe to say, I would come back to try other dishes and the many other desserts. read more

My girlfriend and I celebrated 4 months dating each other at Daniella's! The food wine and service was excellent! The ambiance was very fitting for the occasion!! We will be back!! read more

Dinner here was amazing. We had patio seating which was nice, however we were directly under a heater and it got very warm. The food was delish, I had baked haddock and it was so good and portion size was huge. My daughter opted for the tenderloin and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had Bolognese over rigatoni. Service was great!! I'd gave it 4 as we were pretty warm under the heater. read more

If you love great food and service you must try Daniella's Cafe and Market in Danvers.. The best of everything is an understatement. Charming decor, upscale bistro style, and gracious welcome are the first indications that something nice awaits. Your first view is of a well stocked deli cabinet with gorgeous pastries , bagged pastas and entrees ready to go. Once seated, the cocktail selection is delightful and our Aperol spritz's and Paloma's were just right. Trust me-- order the Arancini for the table as an appetizer . Perfectly crispy outside, slightly creamy inside.. with a sauce so good you could eat it with a spoon. We ordered the Italian Wedding soup.. and the pear and fennel salad.. That soup is remarkable -- big lamb meatballs, perfectly cooked, in a lovely broth brimming with carrots and potatoes and with what seemed like couscous as well.. and of course their own bread with the best oil and grated parmesan I have ever tasted. A masterpiece of a meal-- Parking right in their own lot is easy.. A reservation would be a must.. Cannot wait to return. read more

daniella's always gets it right! quality and quantity never miss the mark! a gem of an italian restaurant hidden in a quiet danvers neighborhood! outdoor dining is well done! my only regret is the menu is lacking cacciatore options( chicken, veal, italian sausage) a must try go to option for anybody who craves italian food! read more

Phenomenal food with a really elegant, yet comfortable atmosphere with exceptional staff and service.

One of my fav spots back home - we are addicted to the eggplant parm. Everything they do is so perfect. The takeout espresso martinis over the holidays were a HIT so yummy and perfect. If we don't stop here when we go home, my fiancé gets truly upset! The best. read more

For the 3rd year in a row I have purchased a Limoncello Marscapone birthday cake for a dear friend who will be celebrating her 103rd birthday tomorrow December 19. You make the cake perfectly beautiful. My friend just brought me two large slices, MAGNIFICO! They were just delicious as they have been for the last three birthdays. You just have go to Daniella's Cafe and Market Place in Danvers for lunch or dinner and have this cake for dessert. read more

Best chicken parmigiana ever!! Meatballs were amazing! A must visit. Great take home meals.

Wow! The food, the drinks, the service, the quaint cafe feel, this place has it all. I knew it was going to be good when I could smell the Italian goodness as soon as I got out of my car in their private parking lot. When you walk inside you're met with a small area that is a cafe/bakery and while I was too full after my meal for dessert, the cannoli and cakes looked delicious. Once seated, you receive warm bread with an olive oil/Parmesan/red pepper flake spread - and even though you'll want seconds and thirds, save room for the main course because the pasta dishes are plentiful. Probably one of the best rigatoni bolognese pasta dishes I've had - hence the picture being taken halfway through eating! Prices are reasonable, ranging from $15-25 for main dishes. They also offer a full bar and have a great cocktail list along with options for glasses of wine and beer. Highly recommend! read more

My mom and I were staying in Danvers and didn't know where to go for dinner. We found Danielle's on yelp and thought it looked good and they had seats available. This restaurant was so much nice than the photos. Beautifully decorated for Christmas and was very comfortable. The food is fabulous. Everything we had was so delicious! We started with the Arancini which was cheesy goodness that you would expect. A must try and a great shareable size of 3. The bread they serve is amazing! I could have eaten a whole loaf. I had the salmon with Arugula risotto and my mother had the chicken parmigiana, both were cooked perfectly and delicious. We took leftovers because the portions were big and the food was so good. The service was great! We am sat at the bar and throughly enjoyed Amanda taking care of us! They also have a market as you enter and exit if you want to bring any of their delicious food home with you! If you are in the area this is a must eat at! We will be back! read more

Just had another wonderful experience at Daniella's. We were seated promptly for an 8:15 reservation. We shared a half carafe of Super Tuscan along with a Daniella 's Salad featuring generous amounts of pistachios, cranberries and blue cheese. We also enjoyed the fresh bread and oil. We decided to spilt the sliced tenderloin as well as the seared salmon with pesto pasta. The tenderloin was perfectly cooked and succulent. The risotto is just a favorite of mine with so much cheese and delicate mushrooms. Well we certainly over ordered and both took home our salmon! We both enjoyed a "dark" espresso martini for dessert. The perfect end to a great meal in a lively but relaxing location. Our server did not give us her name but she was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly! Daniella's is my favorite restaurant in Danvers! The best choice by far for quality, service and atmosphere! read more

Dine in | Dinner | $20-30 We have wanted to try Daniella's for a while and finally did with three friends. Booked via Open Table, arrived 15 minutes early and our table was ready. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. The warm, crusty complimentary bread was outstanding served with Parmesan, crushed red pepper olive oil. For entrees, our party ordered: the chicken Marsala special over cavatelli, salmon over risotto (which was a substitute), baked haddock over risotto and a bowl of Italian wedding soup. Everything arrived together, piping hot and delicious. My chicken Marsala melted in my mouth although the Marsala sauce (taste) was different from any I've had, can't quite put my finger on how I could describe the "difference ". Both seafood dishes were perfectly cooked. For dessert, we all shared the tiramisu which hit the spot. We would all definitely return and this was a great stop before our show at the No Shore Music Theatre. read more

Food was delicious, it was the best meal I've had in the area all week. The pastries looked delicious and I'll have to come back to try. I went in for lunch and the rigatoni bolognese was a very generous portion so I didn't have room for more. The wait staff were pleasant and attentive and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. Well decorated, clean and very bright. read more

Why oh why is this wonderful restaurant not closer to my home? I would be there every week. My friend and I split a Tuscan salad. There were many different elements to the salad and each one was excellent (prosciutto wrapped around asparagus and grilled, an artichoke, fried eggplant, mozzarella balls, a slice of baked tomato, wilted spinach, all topped with a good balsamic.) We both ordered meatballs. I had mine with spaghetti, my friend had rigatoni. So good. Such big portions that we both ended up with leftovers. No room for dessert unfortunately. Service was excellent. Love the space. read more

We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary with family and once again what a treat. From the minute you arrive everything is absolutely clean, crisp and sparkling from the parking lot to the dining table. Service is outstanding. Super professional, friendly and perfect timing from appetizers, salad, diner, drinks, refill water glass and dessert. We had the Caesar salad and summer salad that were over the top in freshness and flavor, one of the best Caesar's I've had, then meatballs and shrimp scampi before our dinners from salmon, pasta bolognese, steak and risotto and chicken and pasta. Great portions, great flavors, piping hot and super fresh. They served dessert with dusted chocolate on plate saying happy anniversary...nice touch. Simply the best food, ambiance and company.. read more

One of the best meals I have had in quite some time. The ambiance is very romantic and service is impeccable. You are greeted by a basket of warm bread with a lovely red pepper flakes olive oil to dip it in. I chose the shrimp scampi for my entree and it was delicious. The accent of lemon with the fresh shrimp was out of this world. I was so full I got my cannoli to go and had it the following day. It was perfect. I really hope I get the chance to revisit this place someday. read more
