The hostess greeted us with a warm "Happy Anniversary," and our waiter was also aware it was our special day. The veal was incredible, and I must say, the apple cake with cinnamon ice cream was out of this world! They went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated by decorating our plate with a lovely candle and "Happy Anniversary." There's no need to travel to Boston when you have such an amazing restaurant right here on the North Shore!

This was a spectacular surprise; in all my many years of dining out, this never occurred before! Our server was amazing, recommending a fabulous bottle of Italian red wine (2013 Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano) was extremely helpful knowledgeable regarding food preparation ingredients. All our food was five star, particularly my medium rare prime rib, 18 ounces of 2 thick scrumptiousness! Very cozy atmosphere, sparkling clean restrooms ample parking complete my strong recommendation!

They even cut the bones for me so my dogs could enjoy some of this amazing steak. The mushroom and asparagus risotto is a must-try. Tom was wonderful and even surprised me with a birthday dessert!

Exceptional service and the steak was by far one of the best. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more Exceptional service and the steak was by far one of the best. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

To be honest, I wanted to take him to Morton's in Boston and when he recommended Pellana to avoid traffic and parking problems, it was a little worried, it wouldn't be as special as I wanted. I couldn't have been wrong! The entire staff was amazing when we went through the doorstep. Our server, Roberto, was attentive, friendly and helpful with the menu. All we have ordered from shrimp cocktail to make the beet salad mignon to our sides and desserts were incredibly delicious and perfectly cooked. The lobster Mac and cheese is a not to miss item! We will be absolutely back and this place is DEFINITELY Top Notch for special occasions to celebrate. Thank you, Pellana!
