Best Italian Restaurants in Millis

My wife, Susan, and I were looking forward to a delicious Italian meal for our Thanksgiving celebration Thursday evening. The staff greeted us cordially and promptly had us seated. We ordered cocktails. I was a little surprised when our server gave us menus offering a prix fix turkey dinner and an a la carte selection of dishes from the regular Italian menu; then it dawned on me that the management would have to limit one selection of dishes to have another for the holiday. We shared a lovely mixed salad with parmigiana cheese and a lite dressing. Susan had tasty scallops risotto and I had fruitti di mare rigatoni which was tasty and plentiful. Our only suggestions would be notifying patrons of the limited menu and to serve the cocktails more promptly; Susan’s drink was surprisingly salty and she did not finish switching to wine. Our server seemed to notice but did not comment but neither did we.

We enjoy visiting Papa Razzi in Wellesley, the food is always prepared well and the service prompt, courteous and attentive. It can get quite noisy when the restaurant starts to fill, and many families in Wellesley consider this a great place to dine with small children. Definitely make a reservation or check ahead on OpenTable to see availability before fighting for a parking spot.

We had not been in a few years. We enjoyed Frank's casual nature but very formal professional presentation as our server. The flavors, dishes, and whole experience was fantastic. I hadn't seen Lou in a while. He personally exceeded us. We won't let as much time go by before we go back again for sure,

We had a booth which was lovely for our book club discussion. Our server was excellent and we each had the grain salads, which were excellent! We had a lovely evening!

Per usual we had a wonderful meal last night and introduced Basil to the couple we dined with and they agreed! Our server was great and brought our drinks over so quickly followed by an appetizer of chilli glazed calamari which was so good. Two of us ordered duck, mine with the twice stuffed potato, another got the swordfish special which presented with such a thick piece of fish which my friend loved and devoured! Another got salmon and was very pleased. We all shared slices of key lime pie and the special pecan pie aka mode both of which were yummy! The only criticism I would make is the bread served was cold and a bit on the dry side. Perhaps a more interesting and warm bread would be nice. Make sure to have reservations as this place is jumping on weekends with long walk in wait times. Basil has become our favourite go to in the area!
