Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Swampscott

If you value quality over price, this is the spot. Look, a good meal isn't cheap. You pay for good quality, superb preparation, and excellent service, and Pellana has it all. Our server, Teddy, was on point. Phenomenal service, he was knowledgeable, witty, and best of all, returned to the table right when we needed him without hovering. That's a skill most don't have. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops, and hubby had to grab a bosshog x, I was a bit more moderate with a widow jane. Now, the food. THE FOOD!!!! The best steak I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Perfectly seared outside. A perfect Med cook all the way through from end to end.. I had it topped oscar style. Great bernaise sauce, and we shared the garlic mashed potand creamed corn, which has a lovely hint of roasted red pepper, not spicy, but just the little something needed to cut the sweetness of the corn. hubby had the veal chop. Again, the preparation was flawless, I've never seen a veal chop so perfectly cooked all the way through. The drinks were also well poured and unique, I tried the seaside toast, glenfiddich with a smoked cherry wood presentation. He had the smokehouse, with mezcal. Finished off the meal with a creme brule and pistachio martini. Loved every bite and sip. Can't wait to go back.

Great experience on Valentine's Day at the bar. We were promptly sat and enjoyed two Manhattans while pursuing the menu. We started with the burrata appetizer and arugula salad with warm bread and oil. We had two perfect dirty martinis with dinner. Veal Marsala with fresh pasta and eggplant parm with fresh pasta were both piping hot and delish. I brought home enough eggplant and pasta for another meal. We never felt rushed and service was friendly

We were looking forward to a great experience on Valentine’s Day. Initially our table was in a back room not too impressive. The maitra d’ was fantastic (JT) and agreed to move us into the available main dining room. The staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions and offers. The entire meal exceeded our expectations in every way. We ate here about 9 months ago and the atmosphere, service and food were excellent. We highly recommend Teresa’s Prime for any occasion.

Swordfish was outstanding. Menu eclectic and interesting. The only negative is the noise level. I really like this place.

Had a lovely lunch with a friend in a delightful relaxed club like cozy setting. The menu was large and varied enough that we were able to dine on what we truly desired. The wait staff was very accommodating and allowed us all the time we required to decide and chat. I Highly recommend this warm library atmosphere for a casual dining encounter or a business lunch
