Andiamo Restaurant + Bar

Great food and excellent service. Jim is a fantastic owner.

Great atmosphere, food, and jazz music on Wednesdays!

From atmosphere, service and food this place is a five star restaurant

What an excellent dinner! There was six of us that got four different dinners. All of them were Great! A nice touch was that the chef came out to ask how our meals were. Everything is homemade, tasted awesome and priced reasonable. We'll be back... it was our first time, but not the last time. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience this past Friday night. The great atmosphere and outstanding staff are just the beginning. All the food is amazing as the night went on I was able to talk with other patrons and everyone there loved their food. There was dancing all night long and laughter throughout the night. I will definitely be back and intend to visit the Chelmsford location as well!!! 5 Stars are not even enough!!!

Can't say enough good things about this place. The food is great--especially anything involving pasta or seafood. All the little things are great too: pre meal bread, warm and attentive service, and martinis that are a bit... plus-sized. This is easily my favorite modern Italian restaurant on the North Shore and a contender for the very competitive honor of the best meal in Newburyport.

Andiamo is delicious! They have a beautiful and cozy environment that provides a relaxing experience when dining. If you're looking for a place for an event they have a great space for hosting up to 130 people. Try their meatballs with one of their crafty cocktails!

Great food & service. Owners are totally involved in the business and it shows. Dan Sky there on Friday night a huge plus too - Best singer you will find anywhere in New England!

Deelish! Food always amazing!! Although they charge 50 cents for a tiny olive stuffed with a smidge of goat cheese. Up the price of the martini instead of nickel and diming.

So glad I looked up Italian restaurants during my latest trip to Newburyport. About a 10 min walk from the main parking lot and downtown, it was well worth it. Sumptuous Bolognese and chicken pasta carbonara. This is updated Italian made by a chef who is cooking with heart and skill.

My wife and I use this as our anniversary spot. Though a little pricy for us for a normal night out, the food is phenomenal and the wait staff paid great attention to detail and we're friendly. Specials were likewise excellent.

Gone there twice now. Butternut squash ravioli is to die for. Sweet and delicious! The Braised short rib two way is another fantastic dish.

Finally my wife and I found a little gem!!! This place was awesome!! Our waitress Sara was outstanding!! And the manager Emily was awesome!! The food was outstanding and my wife and my can't wait to go back!!!

Delicious food, not a huge menu but somehow still something to please everyone in our goup, which included some picky teenagers. Very good service.

Outstanding food. Exceptional staff. Highly Recommend this establishment. Left wanting more...hands down Best of Best in Newburyport! You will not be disappointed!

Wife's favorite! Have always had a great meal here..make sure to call ahead or make a reservation.

My husband and I enjoyed a delightful dining experience here. I cannot adequately describe how wonderfully creative and flavorful are the meal preparations. I had the swordfish, and my husband the tagliatelle. It's amazing how the chef blends flavors and complimentary sides. The service is superbly friendly and attentive. Mark, our host and manager was extraordinarily good on overseeing the full customer experience. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The bread and olive oil dip was unbelievably good. The ambience is the right blend of slightly fancy but casual. Prices are very reasonable, too. We are certain to make this an oft repeated evening out. We left feeling happy that we had truly had a lovely time and a delicious meal.

This was such a great ambiance, meal, and date night to be at! There was live music playing on the bar side. It was raining the day we went but there is outdoor seating on nicer days. Meals are on the smaller side but taste amazing! Also the menu is a little short. My fiance got the butternut squash filled ravioli and I tried some, very good! I got the pan seared salmon with sweet potatoes and broccoli I. The salmon was cooked really well but on the blander side, was everything else complimented it really well. Staff was friendly and service was fast! I would definitely come here again with more people!

Andiamo has a nice bar, outside seating, and some of the best comfort food you will ever find in Newburyport.

Food was a little over priced, but good size, tasty, and we'll presented.

There for the Sunday buffet, above average food, excellent service, friendly staff.

I really liked this place. Best fried calamari in Newburyport for sure. Amazingly crispy yet edible and the sweet glaze over is just to die for. I had the flatbread and my fiancé had the chicken Parmesan. The sauce used in my flatbread tasted almost “old” in a sense. Everything else about the flatbread was delicious. But the sauce was just too strong for my liking, but it wasn’t bad. I just personally wouldn’t order it again. The chicken Parmesan was amazing though. The chicken was clearly marinated in lots of lemon as you could even smell it. The cheese was great, sauce was good. Plentiful portion. I enjoyed my visit here and will most likely visit again when I’m craving calamari and chicken Parmesan.

I have known Jimmy Rogers for years! back to his Scandia days, I am dating myself. Great Chef, great guy, I hope he has continued success. Many Thanks, Judith Costello Old, old owner of “Paper Antics”

Nice atmosphere, great apps. Dinner choices seem to be aiming too high. Bring in a few classics. Chicken parm needs some tweaking as well.

Food was very good, atmosphere was pickup joint

Pedestrian Although the waitress and manager were very good, the food did not approach its billing. I wanted to take a look into the kitchen to see why. My chicken parmigiana came with blackened edges and bottom, and the sauce was less than inspiring. I would grade the meal a D Also, I have never had so little wine by the "glass" at any restaurant. So....get a new head chef and put an ounce or two more in the wine glasses. Until then, I'll spend my money elsewhere.

It was a nice looking restaurant, unfortunately the server took awhile. For the price my husband and I expected more out of the food, the steak was bland not a lot of flavor for a Filet mignon. The Chicken parm was good- the pasta it was served with was not however. it was very bland and served with pesto sauce. The martini I got looked as though half of it was spilt and it was not delivered as I ordered it. The bread was served in the middle of the meal- they kept saying It was in the over, but we watched 2 other tables get seated and the bread was delivered upon arrival. We always try new places- and had friends raving about this place, but for the amount of money we spent on dinner/service we received - I don't think we will be returning here again.

Went to the Newburyport location 7/30/17 (?). Ordered chicken parm and got a nice think slab of chicken that was entirely undercoooked. Meat was pink and rubbery inside. Think I had two bites of it before I had realized. I sent the plate back right away. It was returned to me and looked no different. If anything it was microwaved as it looked the same as what I sent back. Still very much pink inside and undercooked and in the same place on the plate. I didn't eat a bite of it from when I first sent it back. Was asked if I wanted to take it home to which I answered no. Was charged full price for the entree. I suppose I could've put up a stink but really don't feel that I should need to. I have never sent food back for not being cooked properly. Also tried the arancini and that wasn't bad. The pasta with the chicken parm was okay also but hard to enjoy given the issue with the chicken. That aside, the place is cute and the prices are alright. Beer selection is okay but nothing special. Staff was nice enough though possibly inexperienced in knowing what to do when a meal isn't right. Wait wasn't bad at all at 8pm or so on a nice summer night though it seemed fairly busy an hour prior but that's to be expected in Nbpt. There was some live entertainment which sounded decent although we sat outside so i couldn't hear it all too well but nice that it was there as an option anyway.

Went to see some Jazz on a Wednesday...my friend was playing drums. The food is okay...burger was over done but tasty. Drinks were over priced per usual for Newburyport though. So the restaurant was a 3 (decent service though) music was great!

Pricey food that was good but not great. Disappointing tomato sauce on my basic pasta with meatball entre. Marcella Hassan's do it yourself recipe is much richer in flavor.

I was not a big fan of the food. I ordered stuffed shells and they were swimming in sauce. There was more sauce in the bowl than anything else. I will say that the bread was fantastic though. Probably some of the best bread I have ever had. The atmosphere was alright but very dark in the back dining room. The service was absolutely outstanding. My waiter was friendly and fun so it is unfortunate that the food was so disappointing.

Went to Andiamo's for a birthday celebration, had never been there before. Walked in and thought, wow what a cute cozy place. Loved it. SURPRISE! The hostess escorted us to our table, which was through the bar, through the restaurant, and then through the somewhat reasonable room and then into yet another room at the end of the restaurant. Was unbearably noisy, overly bright, so cold, and lacking of any atmosphere. No artwork on the walls, nothing on the ceiling to muffle the sound. Just gray paneled walls. Completely dreadful. Told the hostess, I didn't feel like hanging at the Knights of Columbus and requested another table. She said there would be one opening up in the adjoining room, which would be only slightly better, but we said we'd take it. In the meantime, my husband went back into the cozy room and requested something in there. They did accommodate us about 45 minutes later. (we did have reservations. I guess they kept the nice area for the walk-ins) Luckily we had the most delightful waitress that anyone could ask for and this helped the situation out. The drinks were fabulous. The salad was good. AS for my "medium" burger... it came out mooing, which was disconcerting. Didn't notice at first, as the edges looked ok. Ate the outer edges only which were tasty but left most of it on the plate. The chief definitely ought to pay way more attention to what he is serving. Not cool to be served such a raw burger. Food was ok other than that, put wouldn't generally pay $16 for truffle fries which is basically what I got. Just wouldn't go back considering the way it all went down. Kind of nervy to bring us through a nice restaurant only to sit us in a function hall. YUCK. Come on, spend a little cash and get that back room up to par with the front of the place. I could probably fix that place for under $1000. You're running a fine dining experience out front. For crying out loud, pull it together!!! Who needs the aggravation. Just read another review, and believe me, we didn't see any owner walking around checking on his clientele....... Whatever! Won't be running back there anytime soon...or ever for that matter.

I would give a 5 for food - drinks - and staff But don’t count on them being open My daughter and I visited there a few months ago and they closed early because of the football game Met there again tonight at 7:00 and we were told kitchen would close at 8:00. Why? Because they are slow. We said we would go else where. And we’re told no - we have a reservation at 8:00. So we aren’t going to throw you out. But they did. We ordered a glass of wine at 9:00 and as we are enjoying they turned off the lights, the music and pulled the stools. My daughter and I don’t get very many nights out. Very disappointed. We will not go back again after shutting down early on our last two visits.

One of us had the scampi which tasted like lemon in chicken broth with too much rind. Absent of any garlic flavor, soupy with an odd aftertaste. The other had the pork chop which was a very nice presentation... but too dry and utterly flavorless.

I do enjoy the ambiance after work for one glass of wine and Appetizer before heading home. However, $15.00 for a glass of red wine is the highest priced glass of wine than any other local restaurants in Newburyport! Will rarely stop for a wine at this price.

Atmosphere was okay, service was okay, food was disappointing and overpriced. I paid $11 for a beet salad with 4 slices of beets and mostly arugula lettuce. Glass of Pinot noir was $14. Overall NOT worth it to me. The server at first told us we had to use cocktail napkins when we ordered food separately at a networking event (we needed to sit down to enjoy it). They came back a few minutes later with proper lap napkins. I try not to go to this restaurant if I can avoid doing so. I previously had a terrible birthday experience at this restaurant and the only reason I attended on this day was to support the event being held there. This restaurant has apparently changed hands over the years, and it is no longer the great place that it sounds like it was prior. I would not recommend.

Went to Andiamo tonight for a romantic date night and couldn’t have been more disappointed! Service from Rachel was miserable! I asked for a knife for my girlfriend and she questioned if we really needed a knife!!! Just bring the knife! Is this your first day??? Then she brought the wrong entree and never came back to ask about refills of our wine! We sat with empty wine glasses trying to enjoy a rushed meal while manager and staff turned on bright lights to set up for brunch! Meanwhile bartender stated owner was at home watching live feed in his IPad! We will never go back!!! Terrible experience!

Terrible experience ordered the muscles they were bad had to send them back then waited and waited for dinners when they finally came out had to send them back also Bolognese was like meatballs size chunks the pasta was undercooked. chicken Parm was burnt on the bottom and the pesto pasta was hard as a rock. We were there for two hours all we ate was bread! Are the manager said to us was that they were super busy and slammed in the kitchen not a good excuse

Poor service, ignored by waitress, food came very late after order, food was fair, no checking on us, and no accommodation made. When told that we were unhappy, it was met with silence and no response. We just left, manager did nothing and server just left us. Definitely , this is a no return restaurant and not worth going to. Not a good night at this place and it is NOT recommended.

Not good. Tomato soup watery. Entries cold. Chicken Parmesan boring. They got 'Best Italian North Shore'. Cannot understand how. Joseph's in Haverhill way better.
