Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Norwood

I was greeted by CJ at the door with a very warm welcome. Smiling and happy. This tells me that I will have an amazing experience even before I was seated. My waitress, Bennie, was attentive from beginning to end. Very friendly service throughout. Food was hot and amazing. My daughter ordered Anatra and I ordered the Braicola di Maiale. Both were delicious. The duck was tender and the pork chop was cooked just right. Portions were more than enough, and we had to take some home. Highly recommended, if you haven’t been to Il Massimo (Dedham) before. You might get lucky and CJ will greet you warmly upon arrival and will occasionally stop by to see how you are doing. Absolutely fantastic dinner service. Thank you CJ and the amazing hospitality

Everything was great and we were in a table in the back nook which was great for catching up with friends because it was quieter. Will request that table again. Loved the cod dish and the wonderful service!

Food and service was unbelievable. My girlfriend and I live in the North End and have tried many of the restaurants in the area. This is by far my favorite. I got a flat iron steak and it was the best flat iron I’ve ever had. The prices are on the premium end but in this case, your premium cost is getting you a premium experience. 10/10 we will be back.

Hostesses were not pleasant and not accommodating at all when we got there early and did not show any effort in trying to find us a table. Not exactly what I call customer service. With that being said, we have been there 3 times within the last 2 months because of the lively atmosphere, great Italian food and amazing cocktails and bar staff.

First time here. Wonderful food and excellent service. Dining room is lovely. Place was packed but not too loud. Has a nice bar as well as high top tables and standard tables. Food was fresh and beautifully presented. We will be back!
