Andiamo Restaurant Bar + Cafe

Came in on Friday during a lunch rush and decided to sit at the bar. I was extremely impressed with how good our service was. The bartender had a full bar and was helping serve tables. She was not only friendly and personable, she was also fast & made amazing martinis! The food was delicious and the price was very reasonable. Will definitely be back!

I really wanted to like Andiamo a lot, but to be honest, I was underwhelmed. It seemed very sterile almost like a sports bar during COVID-19, easy to wipe down but without a lot of design soul. Seems like there could be an easy remedy, with a few plants or decorations to divide the setting. And while the food was good it wasn't great. I had the Caprese salad with steak, and unfortunately the steak was completely undercooked. I know restaurants are petrified of overcooking things and having to throw out food, but this was uncooked. My wife had the salmon which on the other hand she seemed to feel was tasty and appropriately cooked. I should note that when we arrived. our greeting was very pleasant and our server who had just started his first week was incredibly attentive. All in I would rate it a B+ for service and a C+ for food.

The waitresses are friendly and quick. The restaurant has a classic bar counter which gives a chill ambience for the customers. Food serving is decent and food is delicious. Apple crisp is a must try dessert that is not on the menu. Will come back again if there's a chance to.

Let me paint a picture of Andiamo Restaurant - Bar & Café in Andover, MA, a place where culinary magic, warmth, and sophistication fuse into an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment my wife and I stepped inside, we were enveloped in an atmosphere buzzing with energy and charm. The staff--especially the bartender--was not just attentive but professionally charismatic and socially engaging, making us feel like honored guests rather than mere patrons. Every request was met with genuine warmth and a smile, and the service was so flawless it bordered on choreographed elegance. Onto the food--oh, the food! My wife's Chicken Piccata was nothing short of a masterpiece: a crispy, golden chicken cutlet draped in a velvety wine butter sauce that danced on the palate, each bite a symphony of texture and flavor. As for me, I indulged in The Italiano, a meaty marvel piled high on fresh ciabatta bread, kissed with vintage balsamic dressing that elevated every ingredient to new heights. And the truffle fries--crispy, golden, and dusted with just the right amount of truffle essence--were so delectable I found myself sneaking extra bites from my wife's plate. The cocktails? Simply spectacular. The Andiam-old Fashioned, crafted with Whistle Pig Piggy Back Rye 6 Year, was a robust, perfectly balanced libation that warmed the soul. The Pear Sage Metropolitan was a refreshing, fruity concoction that brightened the afternoon and left us craving more. Every detail, from the ambiance to the presentation, screamed passion for hospitality. Our lunch at Andiamo Restaurant wasn't just a meal--it was a celebration of flavor, service, and style. If you're anywhere near Andover, do yourself a favor and experience this gem. Five stars just aren't enough! Our experience at Andiamo Restaurant - Bar & Café in Andover, MA was already extraordinary, but it reached new heights of indulgence with the arrival of dessert. The Chocolate Soufflé Cake was a revelation--rich, deeply chocolatey, and impossibly light, with a warm, molten center that melted in the mouth. Paired with a generous scoop of silky smooth vanilla gelato, the dessert was the perfect finale: the cool creaminess of the gelato balanced the intense cocoa notes of the soufflé cake, creating a harmony of flavors and textures that left us utterly enchanted. From the impeccable, personable service to the spectacular cocktails and every delectable bite--including that unforgettable, dreamy dessert--Andiamo is a culinary destination that sets the bar sky-high. Our lunch was more than a meal; it was a memory made, and we'll be back for every course--especially that Chocolate Soufflé Cake.

You must go here! it was so good. I never finish all my food at a restaurant and I made myself here because it was amazing and so perfectly balanced in flavor. It is homemade food, but I promise nobody in your family cooks like this. Great atmosphere and well made bar drinks too. In the photos so had mussels which were on special, so you may not be able to order them. I will be back for the next specials- but the burger was unique and five star.

Great food, service, and staff! Would love to come back. Highly recommend the butternut squash ravioli

My husband is Italian and picky about food, so if he loved this restaurant, it means it's really good! I loved everything about it, the restaurant, the service and the food. The short rib arancini was simply wonderful and I'm a fan of arancini and I can say it's one of the best I've ever had. We'll definitely go back to this restaurant many times!!!

Food is fantastic at this restaurant. I had the salad with seared tuna and it was amazing. Will order again. The service is good server was new and super nice didn't know a lot about the menu yet and wasn't directly supervised but still did a fine job

Andiamo is awesome! Jim has totally impressed us over the years, and we absolutely love supporting them. We've catered their dishes for family parties multiple times, and everyone always freaks out over how delicious everything is. The food is consistently amazing and such a crowd-pleaser. It's also a GREAT dine-in experience - beautiful, welcoming, and just as delicious when you eat there. Highly recommend!

Ambiance was ok, nice. I sat at the bar and the bartender was good. The food was delicious! Would definitely visit again. So why not 5 stars and only 4? I had a veal chop. Although the taste was perfect, the chop was probably the most not tender veal chop I've ever had. If it was a tender veal chop this would've been 5+ stars. The taste was delicious though. The mushrooms delicious! The pasta cooked perfectly.

We come here occasionally. Some nights the service is great other times not so much. It's dark and can be either casual or formal - whatever suits your mood. Busy enough but generally we don't have to wait for a seat at the bar. We dined at the bar last night and the food and service were excellent. Drinks were good but expensive. My date and I split the Eggplant Parmigiano Stack appetizer, a Caesar salad with grilled chicken and a Salsicca pizza. It was a lot but we took some home. The salad is large and definitely shareable, chicken was flavorful and moist. Their pizzas are on the small size but this one is delicious. You need to ask for bread which is delicious - but not automatically offered unless asked for. We'll keep it on our list of favorites.

I've had dinner at Andiamo a few times and each experience has been great. The food and drink, service, and ambiance are all among the best in the area. Most recently I tried the Ficchi pizza which was an excellent blend of sweet, salty, and savory. The pizza is big enough to share with someone else or have by yourself with some leftovers to take home. I have also enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli and the chicken parmigiana. I enjoy the cocktails as much as the food. Their espresso martini is the best I've ever had since it comes with a double shot of fresh espresso. They serve it dark but can add Baileys upon request. There are gluten-free options for pizza and pasta which I have not tried but it's great that they're an option.

Honestly got take out when first opened and did not like. Was told by a co worker try again. One of the best meals I've had! Eggplant app . Chicken Milanese perfect and the pizza phenomenal. Not to mention the cocktails! Ambiance. Service . Very very impressed. I will be back. And soon!!!

Visited Adiamo's for the second time for dinner while in Andover this past weekend. Once again the food and service were fantastic. ALiana our server was exceptional and made our dining experience perfect.

Our night out was great . I had the salmon which was delicious and my husband had the chicken parm and it was plentiful. Our server was fantastic and very attentive. The manager came over to check on us also. We sat on the back room so it wasn't too loud. We will definitely be back

I was very surprised by this gem. Reading reviews I was expecting a little "mom & pop" cafe. Surprised to find not the case. I would call this more towards fine dining. If I had been wearing street clothes I would have been uncomfortable. The food was wonderful. We had the fig pizza, special ravioli and the burger. The fries were excellent. The fig jam and burrata on pizza were scrumptious. The service was excellent. Everything was timed well.

Love this spot. It's in our neighborhood. We are lucky. Great staff. Consistently good food.

Food is amazing. Plenty of choices for every taste. Awesome vibe inside. Thank you to our server Lindsay

Their food is amazing. For me, I eat with eyes first and they nailed it. The taste and value are really good. They are very relaxed too, so if you come very hungry it's a bad move. Making a reservation, you need to make sure you need a table if you need it. They have an equal amount of bar chairs and tables. And the table ran out very fast. The restaurant was very tidy and cozy. I love how they don't rush us to get out when there isn't one lined up. The only criticism is the host has an attitude problem when we give them feedback about telling the patron when they need a table. Because not everyone knows about the limited amount and my father-in-law is disabled so he needs a table. Overall, everyone was happy with all the food, and the waitress

We were in town for a softball tourney and this place was hopping! I figured that many people couldn't be wrong, so we decided to give it a shot. It did not disappoint. My son eats the same two things everywhere we go: pizza or pasta. Those dishes don't typically come with a side, but here you can get fries with your pasta! It's the little things that make a kids day. My chicken marsala was good, but I've gotta skip straight to the dessert charcuterie board. If that was the last thing I ate before I died, I'd be okay with it! It came with brownies, chocolate chip cookies, cheese, vanilla cake, cannoli chips, and assorted dips. It's probably a good thing I don't have an Andiamo's near where I live because I'd be as big as a house! Seriously, RUN there and get that board!

The entry to the restaurant can be confusing. The door facing the street was lock. You have to go to the side door across from the daycare. It appeal to be a nice family establishment with lots of local customers. The food was tasty. the prices were a little on the high side. The portion were reasonable. The service was good. I would dine here again.

In town for work for the week and this is a treat for me. Great cocktail to start with. I had pizza this time. Super delicious. I don't get great pizza in the Jacksonville area...I sat at the bar and service by Shelly was great. Nice professional by casual crowd here, my go to place when I come to Andover.

I've visited several times, always good. Sometimes understaffed! You'll get what I'll give you!

Food!!! Ambiance and great People all together. For so many years exceeded my friends and family's expectations!!!!! Thank You

Had a wonderful meal which started with the meatball appetizer; moist and delicious. Dinner was the Chicken Milanese... the chicken was cooked perfectly, crispy outside and moist inside, the pasta was cooked perfectly!!!

Food was great- from Swordfish to burger. Our server Jonathan was the best! Very personable and attentive. Even my 10 year old son said how good our server was!

Rachel did a fantastic job of steering us into a lots of great good. Quiet Sunday evening. Great food. Had the mixed antipasto plate and added a burette ball that was the size of a softball. All good but more than enough to serve 4. Had the last of two winter specials. Short ribs with short rib ravioli and duck confit carbonara. All excellent. Second time here. Won't be my last.

Great food - I had salmon on tagliatelle & spouse had chicken piccata with linguine. Both were perfectly cooked with excellent classical Italian flavors. Low key, casual atmosphere. It was a Thursday night, we made a res. but prolly didn't need one but on weekends who knows. Service was great.

Excellent food. Unfortunately, they have left their Chelmsford location. We miss them A Lot!

This was the last straw. My husband and I have been going to Andiamo's for years, it was our favorite spot. Something changed over the last year, and every time we go, it's gotten worse and worse. We went in on Saturday afternoon. The hostess, who was also our waitress was extremely overwhelmed. There were several large parties and she was huffy from the start. She was upset at the time, we got there at about 3:20 and she said she had a party at 4:45. I told her we wouldn't take that long, we never have, usually an hour, max. We sat down and she rushed us for our order (literally, the second we sat down, we didn't look at the menu yet) I ordered the antipasto plate, which was really good. We didn't know what we wanted for drinks yet, so we took a second, she was not happy about this. She came back about 15 minutes later, again in a huff, to take our drink order. We asked if we could order dinner also. We were trying to be respectful of her, and the party that was coming in next. I ordered my go to (Chicken Milanese) my husband ordered a burger * Well Done * this is important to remember. When the food finally came out, his burger was completely RAW. My Milanese looked like butter soup, to the point I poured half of the butter soup off of my plate, onto another plate that was on our table (because she didn't remove anything) I refused to eat it, it looked absolutely disgusting. Apparently, in the last few weeks they changed their menu and it now comes with a different pasta, and the sauce, which was once a white cream like sauce is now yellow, like melted butter, that wont stick to the noodle. When the waitress came back to check on things, about 15 minutes after the food was delivered, I questioned the changes (mostly the butter soup) and was met with major attitude. She tried to rush away, but my husband spoke up about his raw burger. She responded (again, with attitude) "I told them well done, that's not my fault" Regardless, his order was made incorrectly, and the butter soup wasn't what I ordered. I'm disappointed, this was our go to restaurant for several years. I don't know what changed over the last year or so, but those changes are not good.

The staff: delightful. The ambiance: casual but put together. The food: delicious. The drinks: also delicious. I had the swordfish which came with a lemon risotto and broccolini, twas exceptional. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent once again. The antipasti appetizer easily is enough for four and it is a fantastic collection of meats, cheeses and more. My go to meal is the veal chop - excellent! Only improvement is I order scotch rocks and they seem to be too perfect- they use to be generous pours.

Went tonight. My favorite entree, butternut squash ravioli, was taken off the menu. I was shocked! So I tried the vegetarian risotto. Not so good. Too many vegetables, not enough risotto.

I really enjoyed my meal here. The meatball appetizer was very flavorful. I wasn't a fan of the eggplant because it felt too spongy to me but my friend loved the texture. The staff is extremely friendly and informative. The restaurant has more of a sports bar feel than a typical Italian restaurant. Definitely worth a trip, or two, to try out their fare.

Food excellent plus service is fast and very experienced server. I have been here 2 days in the row and giving them 5 stars

Food was great . Do you know the eggplant stack is a great appetizer. The grilled shrimp salad was really good. Tanya is great . She goes out of her way every time we are here. .

Great lunch...salads and pizzas! Good service, attentive, didn't feel rushed. Terrific atmosphere.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn NY, picture my surprise when I ordered the "FICCHI Pizza" off the pizza menu and ... BRUHHH THIS PIZZA HITS!! I cannot explain how good this thing was. Not only the pizza but, the ambiance was super cool. Most importantly... there was parking right in front.

Lots of great options on this menu, stopped in for a quick lunch, Got the burger, this was no ordinary burger, delicious with the crispy pork belly and the aged cheddar. Just what I was looking for! And nice to get a refreshing glass of ice tea. I'll be back for dinner soon.

This is the first time we've been to this location. We moved to West Coast in 2015 from Mass and we used to love Andiamos in Newburyport which has since closed. So glad the food and service was as good as I remembered. We shared the caprese salad and chicken Parmesan-both delicious. The chicken portion is huge! Very decent wine list and full bar.

Lovely find! Delicious food, good service and great prices! Highly recommend! Handmade pizzas are large enough for two to share and yummy!

Best chocolate bread pudding on the planet! The pizza was great too but OMG the bread pudding.

Last weekend we hosted a Birthday Celebration for our daughter. The Event Manager, Victor Antolini assisted us in the planning and was more than helpful with various questions in the days preceding the event. The new GM, Christopher greeted us as we arrived. His professionalism helped set the mood for a successful gathering. The Event Room was set up perfectly for the size of our group. Our food and beverage server, Stephenie E was absolutely amazing checking with us frequently throughout the afternoon to ensure that all of our requests were answered. Our food choices were all terrific and it would be difficult to say which entree we liked the best! We will definitely consider Andiamo's for our next Family Event!

Unfortunately tonight has been a disappointing experience. Came for a birthday dinner- menu seems to be reduced- don't see some of our past favs. Cocktails were terrible! Hubby's Woodford's Old Fashion was a FRACTION of past servings, my fav Blood Orange Martini was SOUR and barely any liquor. Burrata ... lacking. Will Say that the meatball app was still delish- the only highlight of the night. TOO EXPENSIVE FOR QUALITY AND PORTION

Great food and service! Delicious mocktails, great kids menu, and delicious food. Wish our kids weren't so tired and we could have tried dessert!

My husband & I went here for date night. We sat at the bar. I ordered a mocktail. When I ordered it I pointed at the mocktail. After drinking about half the drink I felt strange. I told my husband that I felt buzzed. He checked the bar slip & the name of the " mocktail" was different. We called the bartender over to ask what she gave me. She mentioned a different drink name. I asked her if my drink had alcohol in it. She said that it had Tito's. I told her I ordered & pointed to a mocktail. She felt awful but after checking the slip not awful enough to take the wrong drink off the bill. I didn't even enjoy my food because I felt sick. I don't drink. She made a comment that this isn't the first time because the names are similar. The names of non alcoholic drinks should be way different so this doesn't happen. What If I was an alcoholic this could have had a very negative effect on me. I'm very disappointed in this restaurant because I wrote to them afterwards and I haven't even received a response.

The food was lovely. Our server Max was not the best. He served our drinks, then appetizer. And he only returned once, to take away our menus. He passed us no less than 6 times, servicing the tables around us. Never asked if we'd like entrees, or another drink. When it was time to go, we had to flag him to the table. It was quite odd.

Large portions do not make up for quality of entrees. Would rather have an entree 1/2 the size and have it be edible.Very good appetizers. Waitress went MIA after dropping the check.

Service was extremely slow, however, friendly. Meal was not as expected sauce was bitter and overly stuffed with garlic. Clean and simple the meal was not as expected. It is not that I would not recommend this location however I would think twice. For me personally my next visit to the area will not include dinner at this restaurant.

Have now had three bad experiences at Andiamo. Probably won't try it again. Due to the bad experiences the first two times, I just got a Caesar salad thinking that would be a safe route. The portion was small, which didn't matter because the greens were wilted and few a bit brown on the edges. The dressing tasted store bought. And they included a SINGLE anchovy. Pretty pathetic looking salad. The single anchovy was comical at least. My coworkers margarita pizza was ice cold and said the sauce tasted like it was out of a can. The "superfood" salad bowl or whatever it's called was 90% greens with a comical dusting of quinoa and other ingredients that reminded me of my single anchovy. Another coworkers grilled chicken breast didn't look like it had been tenderized or prepped at all. Just a thick ball of dense chicken. No one in the group left happy!

Fantastic dinner last night and the service from Max was top notch. We were with friends we had not seen in a while, so it took us a little time to order. We were not rushed and Max gave us our space, but was right there when we had any questions. He has a great personality and is very knowledgeable of the menu. This is becoming our go to place when we are looking for a good meal in a great atmosphere.

The portions range from small to large for the same price. My wife had the butternut squash ravioli and I had the chicken parmigiana which were similarly priced but her portion was a third of mine. While both delicious that's odd to me. The meatballs and Brussels sprouts were excellent also but pricey. Their signature dish, the bolognese, is the worst I have ever had. Honestly! Absolutely no flavor at all. Everything else was outstanding as well as the deserts.

Came out tonight 2/23/24 for dinner. Nothing short of amazing. Julia took care of us and she was fantastic. Her personality was top notch and was extremely personable. We have come to Andiamo more times than we can count and are always satisfied with their food and service. Thank you for another great evening Andiamo!

Food delicious - and service excellent. Nice atmosphere and quiet.Several different choices and all good.

The service and ambience is great. I went last week and the first pictured pizza was great, I went tonight and the second pizza was terrible, should not have been served, not sure how you allow that in the restaurant. I had chicken parm on my first visit also, it was the best I've ever had. I don't know how a restaurant this good has two totally different pizzas, and allows the second one to be served. Having said this I will definitely be back for the pasta.

Because we were on a road trip with our poochie, we needed some light take-out travel fare. Andiamo's was a perfect choice. Service was efficient ad friendly. I ordered a roasted beet salad which was fresh and had lots of beets. My husband ordered a ceasar salad with hanger steak. He said that the steak was especially tasty and tender. All in all a good dinner. We would like to return and explore more choices.
