Our favorite Italian spot. Top quality food, reasonably priced. Always a good vibe with excellent service from a good crew that seems to stay the same. Food is always phenomenal, piping hot and tasty and drinks are great. Our fav is the chicken parm (get it with vodka sauce) For first timers just pay attention to the time limits on tables as they turn them fast.

A lover of Massimo since the beginning it has been wonderful to return to living in the Seacoast and find it still open. We were treated like royalty by Pamela, the Manager, and Daniela, our server. Food as ALWAYS , is three cuts above any other dining experience in the Seacoast. Bravo everyone, we shall return soon!

 We gathered for an early birthday party for my 46 year-old son who is soon to be 47! His brother and sister-in-law and 10 year-old Mia listened and asked questions from our waitress. I forgot her name, but she was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the menu. Our waitress made this experience for my family, warm and enjoyable and exciting. Blessings to our waitress and to the Rosa for their hospitality. Thank you very much
