10. Pacini's Italian Eatery Hanover
Reviewed By Laurie B
I eat here fairly frequently and usually it is excellent. I only had a bowl of tomato florentine today, which is not uncommon, and it is always excellent. Today, however, it was watery and lacking taste. Very disappointing. I had to add a LOT of salt and pepper to make it palatable. If this is what they are going to pass off as their soup of the day, don't waster your money!!

First time i ever visited TSP they were in a different location that was some 18 years ago, i was told they had the best lobster ravioli anywhere and so i went and i was duly impressed, fast forward 18 years to a new location and i'm still duly impressed!Place was packed on a Saturday night, we had reservations but still had to wait at the relatively small bar that was also very full. The lady checking us in for our reservation was not very warm and friendly, i would have rated TSP 5 star excellent if not for her, but after we got passed her all was well...When we did get seated by a very nice hostess the dining room didn't seem to be that full which leads me to believe that they won't over face the kitchen, great idea and i like it already.The loaf of Italian bread they brought out was addictive, beautiful crust, soft doughy center, almost ate the loaf myself.For apps we got meatballs, the antipasto della cassa and the peperoni ripieni, impossible to pick a winner, i highly recommend all!For mains i went back to the lobster ravioli which i think has changed a little, for some reason i remember it being in a cream sauce however now its in a delicious tomato/pink sauce with shrimp and zucchini, still outstanding.Friends ordered the chicken saltimbocca and the Guazetto Di Crostacei Al Tegame (mixed seafood and shellfish) both substantial and both excellent, one person had the pork tenderloin dish and wasn't as happy as the rest of us, but that could be a personal preference.Dessert's were fantastic, profiteroles and a super indulgent peanut and chocolate cake.The food was bursting with freshness and so tasteful, service was excellent, our server Christine was delightful, presentation was perfect and portion sizes were just right.Happy to say all is well at TSP and i won't be waiting another 18 years before i return!
8. Route 3A Pizza & Grill

Never eaten there, always pick up or get our pizza delivered. Used them for parties - they have a really big pizza size. We like our pizza well-done with extra sauce, which isn't easy to do, and they get it right every time. Great pizza and service.

We dine with friends this past weekend and the event started off poorly.We arrived 10 min before our reservation and was seated at a table that was right in the traffic flow of the waitstaff. We had to asked to be moved even with other open tables around. The meals were good and the staff was attentive, however, the prices very very high. I had the beef medallions which were rather tough and chewy. The pasta dishes, while good where expensive.Not in any rush to return anytime soon.

We often order pizzas to take out from Blue Moon Pizzeria. The staff is friendly and helpful. All the pizzas are delicious and with thin crusts. Our favorite is the large size caramelized onion with gorgonzola cheese. It's a busy place on the weekend, so it may be a half hour wait before your pizza is ready for pick up. Well worth the wait for great pizzas!

We were looking for a nice dinner locally and had never been to Ava before. Arrived at 7 on Saturday evening Immediately noticed a really inviting smell when we entered. It just smelled great. Sat by the window in the street and wondered how nice it would be there in the winter. Our waitress was Paige who was very helpful and worked with us to make some good choices for dinnerNo appetizers and salad is a small plated salad with a good balsamic dressing. Hot out of the oven roll and butter. We had a veal parm and a haddock over pasta with oil, garlic and lemon. Both dishes were really good and portions were healthy without being âtoo muchâ. Food is cooked to order. I asked for a bit of extra spice in my sauce which they did and it was good A fair amount of wine by the glass to choose from and we enjoyed a very relaxing evening and meal.Split a tiramisu for dessert. Wow. Homemade and awesome Ava fit the bill. Relaxed atmosphere and great home made Italian food Dinner without wine was reasonable as well. We will go back.

The crusts are now usually nice and crisp, even in the middle where usually the sauce pools and makes a soggy crust. Most of all, we appreciate being able to custom order like asking for two helpings of grilled chicken on our pizza when we are making it the whole meal and want the extra protein. One recommendation to Riva is to pre roast tomatoes to bring out more flavor during the off season months when tomatoes can be almost tasteless.

Growing up in New Haven, CT, Frank Pepe's Coal Fired Thin Crust Pizza was my Go to Pizza Joint. Unfortunately, when I'm not in New Haven, I have to search out in new locations for Very Good Pizza. Yes, I do go to Trip Advisor for recommendations. I was visiting my daughter and family in Massachusetts this past weekend. Friday nights are Pizza Nights, so I had to find a really good pizza. All roads in the Scituate area lead to CP's Pizza. A very small pizza joint. Mostly take-out. Not many tables to eat at inside. There take-out business at 8:00 pm was crazy busy. We ordered two 14" wood fired pizza. Thin crust hand-tossed made out of a fantastic flour double 0 flour from Italy when I asked. The homemade tomato sauce is from San Marzano tomatoes from the Naples, Italy area. The pizza are drizzled with Olive Oil and sprinkled with imported parmesan cheese and oregano. The pizza bakes quickly in the wood-fired oven. The results was outstanding. This chef has the following of people who love pizza.
