Italian cuisine is all about gathering around the table and eating some hearty portions until you can just about roll out the door. We’re lucky enough in Norwood, MA to have plenty of great examples of this style of cooking right here in our town. To help you get the best next meal possible, we decided to put together a list of our favorite Italian restaurants in the area. Check out our picks below for your next big dinner.
Chateau Italian Kitchen
The same family has owned the Chateau restaurants since 1933. Come and get a taste of the amazing dishes that long-running tradition has created. Start out your meal with a plate of their meatballs and ricotta. For your main course, we can’t look past the creamy deliciousness of their cheese ravioli. They also offer to-go catering packs so that you can bring homestyle Italian cooking to your next event with ease.
Conrad’s Restaurant
Delicious food and a relaxed environment will help you feel right at home at Conrad’s Restaurant. Seafood lovers have got to try their Rhode Island calamari to start your meal with, with garlic butter, banana peppers, and a side of marinara sauce really bringing out the flavor of these tasty morsels. Their forno baked pasta is also worth checking out, with tender chicken and a topping of breadcrumbs making for some interesting textures.
Pizzeria Bruno’s
You may know this spot for being one of the best places in town to grab a pizza pie, but they also do plenty of other Italian dishes to perfection. We can’t get enough of their antipasto salad, with refreshing bites of artichoke hearts and prosciutto mingling for a unique flavor. The eggplant parmesan is another highlight of their menu, with the eggplant cooked to just the right texture.
Vico Ristorante Italiano
Family means everything to the owner of Vico, which is why the staff here tries to make every guest who walks in their door feel like part of the family. The excellent dishes they serve up will help you feel even more welcomed. Our favorite dish here has to be the homemade gnocchi. Topped with a San Marzano tomato sauce, this hearty dish is an absolute treat.
Bertucci’s Brick Oven Pizza and Pasta
Another pizzeria that also serves up some seriously tasty Italian cuisine, Bertucci’s is a favorite among local food lovers. Try their garlic knots with Pomodoro sauce to get your meal started on the right foot. We love the lasagna here as well, with a handmade touch that will remind you of what mama used to make. Save room for dessert, because their double dark chocolate cake is a decadent delight.
These restaurants are all about treating guests like they are part of the family. We strive for that same level of service for our customers. Come in to see the difference that commitment makes when you’re at our dealership. Visit us at Jack Madden Ford and join the family!
