Gaetano's Ristorante

This is one of my friend's favorites and I understand why. We were immediately seated in a very busy restaurant. Nice to hear others enjoying their evening. The waitress was more than accomodating with our picky needs. My friend enjoyed her martinis, my prosecco was fine. My friend chose her scrod dinner served with mashed potatoes and sauteed zucchini. The little taste I had of the lemoncello cake was delicious. I enjoyed a favorite - frute de mare, pasta with loads of seafood.

This is our new favorite Italian restaurant. From a delicious craft mocktail to perfectly charred and beautifully colored steak tips to some of the tastiest lamb we’ve had…and not to mention the homemade pasta! Soft and succulent and cooked to perfection. The gravies and sauces so decadent and mouthwatering the flavors had our tastebuds eager for more! Our owner is mostly Italian and has a 100% Italian mom and he was so impressed by this food. He said, regardless of where you are from you definitely need to try Gaetano’s in Stoneham, MA. Literally the best Italian food around!

If you’re not white/ Italian and old do not go to this restaurant. I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday at the recommendation of my cousin, who wanted me to try their tripe etc. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, we felt extremely out of place. Nearly everyone turned to stare at us, like we were from another planet,creating a very uncomfortable and unwelcoming atmosphere. Despite this, we decided to stay since we had driven over 30 minutes to get there and were quite hungry. To be fair, the food was generally good, but they had run out of the tripe, that was the main reason why we went there, but we ended ordering other dishes. the rice was undercooked, but beside I’m not gonna lie, the rest of the food was good. What truly ruined the experience, however, w

We tried this place when we lived in Stoneham years ago on the last day before moving to the Midwest. We ordered a pizza. It was so delicious that 6 years later we still remembered it and ordered it again in our recent visit. Even better than we remember it. We ordered the Margarita and added mushroom and olive. Best pizza ever!!! So so good I wish I can come every day. Our server was so friendly too. Great experience.

Great local Italian place. The food was incredible and our server was fantastic. Perfect service, very attentive but not pushy or at the table all the time, nice but not sappy, and not extra sweet when dropping off the bill. I wish I had gotten her name. Really happy we finally got to check this place out- we'll absolutely be back.
