Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Methuen

Finally was able to get a reservation at Sogno. We had the pleasure of sitting at the chef's counter, and it was quite an experience. The Martignetti family runs this place and it shows they really meant to leave a mark here. The restaurants occupies the first floor of their newly remodeled Art-Deco style office building, and the interior is full of classy red accents on dark wood paneled and contemporary interior. Everything in the area is top quality. The service is excellent. Plenty of professional waiters are ready to serve us. Our server has a great personality and everything came on time. We ordered a variety of seafood, pasta and veal dishes (Party of four with two older teens). All the food was made as I'd expect in a high end Italian restaurant. It can be pricey, but it's expected at this level of service. Other options include medium-sized pizzas that are reasonably priced. Plates are good enough for someone with an appetite. Can be shared if you also order appetizers. Really enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. I'll plan on coming back for a lighter fare another in the near future.

Truly wonderful experience. Jazz band started as we sat down and played at just the right volume to have a conversation and jiggle to the tunes. We were very close to the stage and the waiter was attentive and good humoured. Food was delicious and cocktails were very satisfying. Will be back!

Food and service excellent but interior needs a makeover with a more modern welcoming atmosphere.

Food was good. Our server seemed very busy, so she was a little sparse. There was one obnoxiously loud table, that the manager did apologize for.

Return business for us. Food Great. Service great. Server was very friendly. Reservations always a plus. Very lively. A little loud for us. We are a bit older but we understand. :-) Parking was a bit tough for a busy night.
