Molise - Amesbury

RISTORANTE MOLISE ! Wow, what a delicious meal my gal and I had there! The staff is friendly and attentive. Good drinks. Nice atmosphere. We started with sensibly-sized salads. Very good, and they were included with the entrées! She had eggplant parm with pasta, and a side of meatballs. OMG, the meatballs were so delicious, in an excellent red sauce, AND there were four in the serving the size of tennis balls. I didn't try the eggplant, but the serving was huge and she said very yummy. I had cioppino. Another OMG! It was the best I've ever had! Loaded with six shrimp, many scallops, class, mussels, a big piece of haddock, potatoes, and I was able to skip the calamari. The broth was spicy and delicious. They serve great, crusty bread for sopping if you like. It was all around $100 for food and two drinks each, and we both took home leftovers. Here's a Pic of my cioppino...

Authentic Italian cooking in an authentic northern Boston environment. This is one of the MOST amazing authentic Italian cuisine in existence in the North End and Merrimack Valley! From the chefs behind the line to the most talented bartender in New England, Ristorante Molise is the perfect location for top notch Italian cooking and service in the greater Boston area, from casual dining to high-end events.

Excellent service, yummy food, difficult to park, though, not enough spots.

First time visiting since they moved out of Wakefield. Same good food and service. Portions are generous. Prices good. We went on a glorious summer evening and sat outside. Very lovely and comfortable. (But what's with the motorcycles! They're everwhere!! I had a special soup red pepper puree. Soooo good. Friend had a huge helping of ceasar salad very good. We both had chicken. Nicely prepared. Will definitely return. Restaurant is in a great spot. Free parking on street and lot. Very nice atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Friendly and efficient staff. Every dish is a winner! I have too many favorites to list, but the chioppino! The veal saltimbocca! Generous portions. Just make a reservation and go! Parking: Limited parking in the back. You can park at the bank across the street
