I do not usually give a place two stars, but this was an exceptionally unpleasant experience…read more I was there on a Sunday afternoon and my cousins and I ordered pizza. I ordered the cauliflower crust, and unfortunately the kitchen confused two of the pizzas. They had to send them back to be remade, which is not usually a big deal. However, on this particular day, it took about an hour and a half to get a small cauliflower crust pizza. We were told multiple times that our order was next, but we saw multiple other pizzas go out to other tables around us who got there after us. It still took about 45 minutes from the time it was supposed to have been remade to the time it actually came out. I was told multiple excuses, but I've worked in the industry, and this was exceptionally unfortunate. The manager never came over to us, but the bartender was quite apologetic. It was also his first day on the job. It seems that there are some managerial issues at this restaurant, and the other one closed recently. I do hope they work out the kinks because the food was really good, but I don't think I will ever go back.

My third visit confirmed my impressions from the first two. The food just isn't very good and the…read moreservice is slow. Not that I minded spending 3 hours dining - it was 6 of us catching up - but it was more about the timing, and not being able to get service at the times we needed it. Our party had reserved a very nice window table, overlooking the hilltop golf course and supposedly with distant views of Boston, though I couldn't spot it. Our waitress was perfectly fine though obviously overworked. Not enough staff to cover this large dining room. It took a surprisingly long time to get our drinks. The slowness continued throughout the meal, and one of my companions had to drink his dirty martini "clean", the blue cheese-stuffed olives he asked for arriving too late. We ordered three appetizers for sharing: Antipasto alla Italiana, Meatball Trio, and Steamed Mussels. The Antipasto, an assortment of Italian meats and cheeses was oddly served as a "tower": the prosciutto draped over a metal frame like Irish Moss on a live oak, the blob of burrata on the top like a UFO had just landed in the treetop. Clever, or bizarre? I say the latter. The other meats were laid out flat on the base, hard to pick up. This dish was not at all easy for sharing, though it was clearly intended for that. It was heavy on the meats, with not enough cheeses or veggies. A more balanced selection would likely permit a lower cost as well. I considered the $33 price, the highest by far of their appetizers, severely overpriced. The steamed mussels were very disappointing. Tiny, not much bigger across than a nickel! The broth, supposedly of white wine, garlic, preserved lemons, capers, red pepper, and fennel, tasted of little more than salt. When I could access it that is. This dish was served in a small bowl with high sides so the liquid couldn't be reached until most of the mussel shells were removed first. And the garlic bread? Not garlicky at all, and burnt and bitter, not grilled. The third app, the meatball trio, was quite good. At least the meatballs were. As for the marinara sauce, read on. My entree was Veal Parmigiana. Another disappointment. The veal was dry and overcooked. The spaghetti was fine. But the marinara? I have literally never had worse! No bright tangy tomato flavor, no detectable garlic, basil, or other herbs and spices. So bland. And something "off" about it, like they added cream or something? Just wow. I finished the veal, but barely touched the spaghetti and didn't bother to take any home. If I had liked it there wouldn't have been much to take home anyway. The portion was on the small side compared to parmigiana entrees elsewhere. How to finish off a mediocre meal? How about a mediocre chocolate tart? Rice-flour crust, with vanilla gelato, whipped cream, and sea salt chocolate ganache. Just as dull as can be. The ganache tasted sweet but not particularly chocolatey. The crust was just sweet and crumbly with no flavor of its own. I suppose the rice flour was so it could be gluten-free but it didn't work. The gelato was ok. And the espresso I got with it was very good, though very expensive at $7. I should know better than to eat at a golf club restaurant. But it's Dracut, and not much around, our friends live close by - and they seem to like it - so it probably won't be the last time. But I won't be repeating the mistakes of this visit. I'll try all different things next time. But they could be so much better if they only tried!

Went for the Easter brunch. It was an absolute zoo. Hoards of people, very loud, long lines at…read morethe buffet, generally unpleasant. We were seated in the dining room and to get to buffet table, we had to walk to the other end of the building. This is something that should be mentioned to customers when taking reservations. My husband has mobility issues, and it was difficult for him to walk that far back to our table, having to dodge and weave through the masses of people while balancing a plate of food. A plate of not great food that was cold once you got back to your table. And the desserts? You get better desserts at a Chinese restaurant buffet. They were quite literally awful. The "strawberry shortcake bar" offered rock hard biscuits that were so stale they didn't even absorb the juice from the obviously previously frozen strawberries (they were kind of brownish). But the cherry on the top was the cans of whipped cream that everybody picked up with their hands to press the nozzle. Very unsanitary. The other choices were mostly melted gelato and stale, tasteless cake. I mean, it might have been acceptable if this was a $20/person Golden Corral buffet, but it was $65/person plus mandatory 20% tip. And you weren't even served coffee! You had to wait in line for that too. Just so not worth it. I'd eaten at Grazie's before and always enjoyed the meal. Lovely location, good food at a reasonable price, so I was really disappointed in the buffet. It was just a shameless money grab. Would never go back again and certainly would not recommend it to anyone.

Well...this is a problem…read more I just tried this Italian-Vietnamese fusion place that happens to be within walking distance of my house, which means my self-control is about to be severely tested. First off, the Lotus Rangoon--crispy, creamy, and made with actual crab. Not the "crab-ish flavored mystery filling". Real crab. Did you hear me ?? Real crab. And this amazing dipping sauce. The Vietnamese pork chop showed up perfectly seared, tender, and packed with flavor, served with fragrant jasmine rice and veggies. Delish!!! The wonton soup was incredible--tender dumplings, lots of veggies and noodles with a broth that felt like it could fix your entire life. Then came the chicken parm. When I say huge, I mean New England snowstorm eat for days huge. Crispy, perfectly cooked, sitting ontop of angel hair pasta with crusty bread on the side. We also tried the chicken and eggplant parm combo, which could easily feed a small family. Thin, crispy cutlets, perfectly breaded eggplant, marinara, melted mozzarella...just ridiculous in the best way. The prices are very reasonable, the portions are enormous, and the staff is genuinely warm and welcoming. So yes, you should absolutely try this place.

The menu shows a variety of both Vietnamese and Italian appetizers and entrees, plus just enough options which overlap in interesting ways. The inside is beautiful, but still small. The main dining area has 6 tables which can accommodate around 20, and there's more seats in the bar area at bistro tables and at the bar itself. We opted for Vietnamese fare on this return visit. Some of the items, such as our summer rolls appetizer, remain traditional in preparation and presentation, while others, such as our entrees, are what I guess you'd call elevated. Overall, everything was fresh, well prepared, and came out quickly. Our appetizer, the summer rolls, came with a dipping sauce that was rich and thick and quite flavorful, making us work to get every drop of it. The sauce for our entrees was equally rich and thick (not nuoc cham), and it tasted good on everything. We ordered lemongrass chicken and lemongrass beef entrees. These came with perfectly steamed broccoli and carrots, and a choice of jasmine rice or jasmine rice pancakes. The pancake was actually the jasmine rice mixed with additional butter and chives, shaped into a pancake. The chicken was not grilled pieces, but rather tenderloins with skin on them, evidently fried, both crisp and juicy. We did not order anything from the Italian portion of the menu, but I did see several entrees at other tables. The portions are generous. It was interesting to see the mix of choices at other tables - one party had ordered both spaghetti and meatballs and pho. I liked everything about my dinner here, and I hope their venture is successful.

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!
