- JJohnVIPGreater Boston •37 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMy family and I (6 in all) enjoyed an excellent dinner last night. We were celebrating my granddaughter's 21st, and they graciously provided a celebratory glass of Prosecco, and made a point of coming over to add his congradulations. Nothing but praise for the entire experience. That being said, one word of caution...parking is very difficult so if you don't know Portsmouth please give yourself some extra time and figure out how to get to a parking garage and walk to the restaurant. I was lucky and found a spot 50 feet from the front door....but my kids took 15 minutes to sort it out.More infoRistorante MassimoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portsmouth•4.8
- PPatrickVIPGreater Boston •13 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFood and drinks were very good, but our server did not seem to like having us. Everyone else who came to our table was very friendly and warm but our server appeared to be annoyed the entire time to have our table.More infoRow 34 - PortsmouthPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Portsmouth•4.7
- WWendyCalifornia Central Coast •9 reviews5.0Dined on 1 Jan 2025Went for the New Year’s Day Hip Hop DJ Brunch and it did not disappoint! Tried the housemade donuts (cranberry orange & espresso martini), and they lived up to the hype 100%! Seriously, if we weren’t so full, I would have taken a couple of the orange-cranberry ones to go! Then we had chicken & waffles and the pastrami hash. The chicken was incredibly crispy and the hash was delicious- lots of peppers & onions to complement the pastrami. Music was loud (we were right in front of the DJ) with some great selections! Service was excellent as well. We will definitely be back!More infoLedger Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• American• Salem•4.7
