We were shown to our table without much wait. Our server introduced himself immediately and was initially very attentive. Our orders were taken politely and efficiently. The 2 children's meal came to the table very quickly- any parent appreciates this. The problem came up in that the rest of the table waited almost an hour for the rest of our meals. No reason pasta should ever take this long. Once delivered, the food was quite good. Not sure what the issue was with the kitchen, but it definitely took away from our enjoyment of the experience as a whole.

It did not disappoint! It's such a cute, clean little restaurant that feels wonderfully reminiscent of Boston's North End right here in New Hampshire. Our waitress, Amelia, was absolute perfection. Incredibly, she was also the one making our food! She truly made the entire experience special. Everything we ordered was amazing, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. For dessert, we had to get the cannolis--they are giant, incredibly fresh, and so worth it. The portion sizes are ideal, the ambience is spot-on, and we will definitely be going back!

I was told the salad was good, we couldn't add grilled chicken today because of issues on DoorDash, hence the Add 1 Polpetti.

It's…read morea little off the beaten path, but it's an absolute gem whether you're grabbing takeout or stopping in for a solid slice. I tried the chicken broccoli pizza and it was honestly unbelievable. Chicken and broccoli is usually a heavier style pizza, but somehow they kept it thin and crispy. I don't know how they pulled that off, but the crust still had a perfect crunch while holding all the toppings without getting soggy. Everything tasted fresh and the balance of flavors was spot on. Places like Sally's Apizza and Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana get a lot of the spotlight, but if Pizza by Rocco had a prime time location and more exposure, I honestly think they'd be competing in the same conversation. Manchester is lucky to have a spot like this. Definitely worth checking out. Seems like the guys that run the place are really solid people as well, will definitely be back.

That settled it; we had to try it. Out of sheer excitement or exhaustion, we forgot to make a reservation. I quickly remembered this mistake as we entered Hooked. People filled every table and seat at the bar. I looked at my bestie with great concern because we were anticipating our first meal of the day. The hostess welcomed us warmly, and then she asked the dreadful question, "Do y'all have a reservation?" We sadly said no, and she immediately began to express regret. Maybe it was the "Grad2026" headband or the disappointment on our faces that caused her to have pity on us because she told us to wait one second. The hostess walked to the bar, then she went to the main seating area, lastly she went next door where there's additional seating. She returned with a smile and motioned for us to follow her. The hostess found us seats at the bar! We ordered, chatted with the locals, and ate a delicious meal. We even made room for dessert which we learned was made by the owner, the hostess! Whenever we visit New Hampshire again, we're definitely stopping by Hooked!

The ambiance is a little noisy but it's a raw bar that has sports on. The food is delicious. I could have eaten the Cippino forever! The broth was a complex delicious and perfectly spiced tomato base. The seafood was plentiful and large sized. I have never seen shrimp so big! I also ate oysters and had an amazing home made peaches and cream cheese cake. Listen I don't really like cheese cake but I could eat that cake everyday for the rest of my life. Everything from start to finish once I sat down. Was delicious and the staff was very kind. This food was fired fresh in the kitchen. I could see if from my bar seat.

Without even opening their doors yet, Presto Pasta has really taken a place in the community and already making it's mark. There is nothing stopping Chef Joseph and his family from taking a dream and making it a wonderful reality for the people of Manchester, and truly will turn itself into a destination spot in Southern NH for all to visit with great service, alluring shop design, and of course, amazing craft food that will have people raving; absolutely no doubt there! My team and I at Ethos & Able Creative couldn't have been more honored to be a part of what will be an amazing culinary experience at Manchester's west side, and even more excited about the growth to be had by the people that deserve it most. read more
