      I recommend Sixty2onWharf in Salem for great Italian. It's not inexpensive, but it's terrific. I second Bella Verona and Antique Table, and I continue to hear good things about Grapevine in Salem, although I haven't been for a few years. I also like Caffe Italia in Marblehead very much. For a full review with pics and prices of Sixty2, Bella Verona, Antique Table, and Caffe Italia, see our blog (search on the name of the restaurant).

        Anyone been to Artichokes in Wakefield?
        I'm meeting some people there on Thursday and have note heard much about this place recently.
        Any insight is appreciated.

          Bella Verona is Salem is excellent, next to the Hawthorne Hotel. They also have a sister restaurant in Beverly Trattoria Bella Mia. In Gloucester, La Trattoria & Pizzeria on Main Street is also one of our favorites.

            Gallo Nero in Peabody square is very good, doesn't look like much, but the food is great!

            The Antique Table on the Lynn/Swampscott line is a charming little place with good Italian

              In Salem, NH Ralphies on rte 28 is very good, La Tratoria on Main St. in Gloucester is also good and they have a coupon in udine4less.com. IMO, for the best, try Rino's in.

                I don't travel to that area often, but the closest thing I know to you that is really good and worth the drive (we come from the South Shore) is Theresa's Italian Eatery in Middleton. The veal and eggplant parm combo is delicious with the homemade fusili. Wish I could jump in the car right now just thinking about it.
