Customer Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐I have had Italian food from all over so it's not quite fair to compare. I will compare to my favorite spot in North Conway and my own taste. The eggplant stack appetizer was very good. Both visual and taste. I would only say at the price point I expected more of a "stack". 4 halves to me does not equal a stack especially when compared to entree portion sizes. The warm Focaccia bread served warm at the table with olive oil is very good. Our waitress refilled our bread. My wife got an espresso martini and she said that was good. Our main dishes were a full chicken parmesan and bolognese. The chicken parmesan was good, not great. The chicken itself was a little thick. It would be better if pounded out to be thinner like a cutlet. The sauce that came with my meal lacked flavor. It was go
We made a reservation and while it was not maxed out, even on a Thursday night in late August, better safe than sorry. Bread basket tonight was herbed foccaccia, very good. We split meatball and arancini apps. Meatballs were our preference between the two. Arancini were OK. I had Tagliatelle Bolognese. It was decent enough just on this night it lacked depth. Others enjoyed eggplant parm and Chicken Milanese. I didn't sample them so can't comment. I did like the ability to order half portion on the pasta dishes. Wine choices were good, and we got good recommendations. Overall, a good experience and I would return.
An absolute hidden gem! The atmosphere is elegant and pristine. Service was friendly, made great recommendations and attentive to our every need. The food was absolutely delicious and impressively presented. We can't wait to go back!
Fabulous place. Cozy and comfy. Yummy food. The buratta was amazing. I will CRAVE it. Can't wait to go back!
We had an absolutely amazing experience at Ancora. My husband and I were on a “mommy and daddy getaway weekend” and decided to do date night roulette. We went to the restaurant and asked the waitress to surprise us and bring us her 2 favorite dishes. She was such a good sport and had so much fun with it. She was thoughtful and asked if we had any allergies or anything that we were totally opposed to. Not only did she bring us out 2 amazing dishes, she also brought us an appetizer which was “on the house” (eggplant parm). We ended up with the bolognese and the winter squash tortellini with homemade sausage. The food came out so fast and all of it was incredible and dishes we would never have chosen ourselves. I cannot rave enough about our experience. The service, atmosphere, drinks and foo
