My wife and I went on Sat night and the place was really busy. We were asked if we called ahead and we had but they don’t take reservations. We were seated promptly. We were given bread and garlic oil which was good and we...ordered drinks. Our waitress came and we ordered an appetizer and our main meal. The Arancini was great but it took a little longer to get our main dinners. My wife had the mushroom ravioli and I had the cioppino special. Both dinners were fantastic. We finished with dessert and my wife had the decaf cappuccino. The food was great and we will be returning soon.More

We absolutely love this place! Mare E Mante is tucked away in a neighborhood where street parking may be tight but we always find a spot. I read they offer free valet parking so may just take them up on that next time we go....The food here is delicious and plentiful, the service is wonderful, prices are reasonable especially considering the quality of the meal and the atmosphere is cozy. Mare E Mante has become our go to place when we want a delicious food and a nice night out. I cant imagine anyone being disappointed. PS save room for dessert. Typically I am not a dessert person but they are perfect compliment to an amazing dinner.More

we went on a Friday night. We ate early and were seated promptly. The server was perfect. She asked all the right questions and made comments on the best selection. We enjoyed a bottle of wine appetizers and entrees. The price was reasonable.. A plus...was the complementary valet parking as the streets seemed tight near the restaurant.More

Definitely the best Italian restaurant we’ve discovered in Worcester! The food was extremely tasty with very generous but not ridiculous portions. The chicken parm was great and the lasagna was rich, cheesy and delicious. We also tried the arancini and the lemon citrus cannolis for...dessert and we were not mad about either of these choices. The cocktails were also excellent with some creative choices. The atmosphere is also very lovely with lit candles and a rustic and charming/classy Italian decor making it a great place for a date. The bill wasn’t too bad at all considering we had an appetizer, two cocktails, two generous entrees (my partner had quite a bit leftover but I was brave and ate everything) , a soda, and split a dessert. We also had very nice service from our waitress who was very kind and personable. We’ve been trying different Italian restaurants in the city but feel like we’ve found “the one” for Italian cuisine and will just return here from now on for our Italian needs. We just want to try everything on the menu and can’t wait to go back.More

Such a warm welcoming atmosphere from the valet (who highly recommended the bread pudding!), to the smiling host and Joey our server! The place was buzzing but it seemed like they were use to the crowds. It’s a little slice of Italy…brick walls, artwork, dim...lighting and of course authentic Italian food. The food was lovely with a varied menu. Our server amazing…relaxed, attentive and knows how to engaged his table guests. I’ll be back.More

It was a great casual atmosphere with surprisingly responsive and friendly staff. Just the kind of place you want to go for a nice dinner with the family. Really like the food -- mushroom ravioli were rich and delicious, spaghetti al formagio parmesan - delicious...and a great presentation! Loved it! Chicken parm got a thumgs up from the boys - tough critics. Would recommend this place to anyone; great quiet place for a business dinner too!!More

We headed here on our 25th anniversary for a special night out… Food was absolutely amazing. Our server, Joey, made sure our night was really special. After our meal, my husband said “this might be the best haddock I’ve ever had at a restaurant“. I...had a delicious pasta meal and the Almond Torte dessert was to die for. Can’t wait to go back!More

It was Mother's Day and we didn't have a reservation anywhere so I began googling restaurants near me. What a nice surprise! From the Valet that greeted us to the host, hostess and waitstaff, they were all very friendly and attentive! We started with a...salad and it didn't skimp on anything! We both had spaghetti, meatballs and sausage. All were great and I was especially impressed with the gravy (sauce)! It was very tasty! We finished with raspberry sorbet which didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this restaurant!More

Walking in to sit at the bar for dinner we were greeted immediately by Armondo, the bartender. He was very attentive with a friendly sense of humor and selected a nice Amarone for us to go with dinner. We started with tuna carpaccio. Excellent! The...veal picatta was one of the best I have ever had anywhere and the homemade pappardelle was cooked absolutely perfect. Same for the veal marsala. The place is a gem!More

Went to celbrate husbands 80th Birthday which I mentioned when I made reservations and when we were seated. The ? owner seated us and I told him it was a celebration . The server asked immediately if we wanted a drink before we had time...to look at the menu. Observed a waitress using a rag to wipe a spill on the floor and put it back on the serivice bar. No mention was ever made of my husbands birthday and when we left I told the hostess and the owner coming running over and I told him also. He said " I told you to mention it to the server , you probably didn't hear me " At that point I walked out the door very upset.More

This restaurant was amazing, and such a surprise! Nestled in the residential area, we were not quite sure of what to expect. Upon entering the restaurant we were pleasantly surprised. The baked goat cheese appetizer was out of this world! Well worth the $16. For...main meals, we all ordered different pasta dishes. One with eggplant, one with bolognese, one with rosa sauce and one with cannelloni. All of our meals were some of the best dishes we have ever had at an Italian restaurant! Every dish has an option for homemade pasta, and they offer bread and olive oil at the table. We never would have known this restaurant existed if it weren't for Trip Advisor!More
