My new favorite restaurant! All dishes were so delicious, beautifully presented and the warm fresh bread to start was perfect! Desert was a perfect ending! The restaurant is warm and welcoming, with a friendly and attentive staff. Can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.

Wow dude. It’s all there. Perfect execution of traditional recipes. It’s the best Italian on the North Shore, but it also contends with the rest of the country. I love this place and can’t wait to come back and try other stuff. Chicken parmesan is perfect, chicken francese is perfect, excellent environment. Just a great time.

Very small but cozy atmosphere. The service could definitely be more cheerful. But the food is absolutely amazing. The best chicken/ veal piccata

Absolutely some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had in the United States.
The atmosphere of the tiny restaurant was wonderful. So cozy and quant — loved the old paintings.
My ravoli was divine; the butter sauce delicious.
And the fresh pasta?? — couldn’t ask for a better meal.
The quality of food and price blew me away. I had to give the waitress a 30% tip ❤️
Will be coming back again!

The food was absolutely delicious with wonderful flavor. In our first dish the seafood was plentiful and indeed the star of the dish, with the supporting risotto well cooked. The second dish we chose for simplicity and it didn’t disappoint, with a solid ravioli supporting the star of this dish, the marinara sauce. The woman who squeezed us in (we didn’t have reservations), was wonderful and may have been the owner. Delightfully authentic and beautifully done Italian food.

Amazing little gem of a neighborhood place in the heart of historic Marblehead. Seats about 22 people total inside, so get your reservation locked down and bring your favorite bottle of wine to complement the meal. Some of the occasional negative reviews of this place are shameful and totally unworthy from my experience.
The gnocchi in “the Little Store Gnocchi” dish was melt in your mouth perfection. Best I ever had in the USA (I have been to Italy 40+ times). The mushrooms, truffle oil and Alfredo-like sauce (it’s better than classic Alfredo … smoother, less sticky, less fatty, more garlicky – and scrumptious… it was so tasty, I could drink the remnants like a divine soup — and frankly, I did!
The Veal Marsala was tender and seasoned perfectly, coated in tasty mushrooms and a dark Marsala sauce that was done with just the right balance of sweet and savory.
My wife had the Seafood Di Mare that was piled high in a skillet full of calamari, shrimp, mussels and scallops on top of homemade fettuccine. The white wine sauce this was bathing in was a little tame for the magnitude of the dish – good, just not spectacular.
All in all, we loved our food so much that we ordered a Haddock Francese “to go” so we can have it the following night and expand our Little Store palate.
The ambiance is cute and quaint, old school pictures on the wall in unmatched frames that you would find at a garage sale. I felt like I was in a neighborhood ristorante in Tuscany. We saw only 1 employee all night and she was a hustler (in a great way). She did everything … never stopped buzzing around to take care of a full restaurant— not to mention a thriving takeout business (folks … please tip this gal even when ordering takeout – she is busting her tail for you!).
I love the BYOB approach because I always have lots of wine at the house – I don’t need to spend an additional $100 on a $40 bottle of wine when I go out.
One last comment – this is an adorable romantic place – unless the guests who visit make it otherwise. I was there with my wife, as were several other husbands enjoying a relatively quiet night out with their significant others. One younger group of 5 friends took the center table, and as the alcohol consumption rose, the conversation volume crescendoed to the point of shouting just to be heard across the table. A neighboring gentleman intervened and asked one particular girl to please stop shouting. He was right to do this – and to the girl’s credit — she apologized, took it down a couple notches, and the rest of the evening was so pleasant for everyone. I am appreciative that she took it so well (enjoying one’s self is a sign and the GOAL of any great restaurant). I say this just to remind people – restaurants are only as pleasant and romantic as the guests who honor them. By all means – celebrate life and friendship … but be wary of your surroundings when your neighbors are just an arm’s length away.
God bless the Little Store — Marbleheaders are sooooo lucky to have her !

BYOB. Yes you read correctly, this place does not serve alcohol and they encourage you to bring your own to consume with dinner! This is a really really fun place. It’s extremely unique and it was an absolute blast to eat here. The small dinning area made me feel as if I were back home with family surrounding me instead of strangers. Everyone having fun and talking is a great change of pace from other hush hush stuffy restaurants. This would be a fantastic first date spot. The service was awesome and we were seated right away. They have an assortment of canned soda or sparking/still water if you didn’t byob. The food. The first thing brought to the table was a HOT AND FRESH loaf of rye bread with a pesto garlic oil dip to share. This was the best bread and oil combo unlike any restaurant I’ve had before. They nailed the simple spaghetti and meatballs and the crab ravioli was off the charts good. I highly suggest this restaurant.

I ate dinner here with my wife on New Year’s. The restaurant is small/cozy and inviting. Our food was excellent. Service was also great.
This was a memorable find.

We hit all the recommended places our first couple days in marblehead, we continued to search for additional experiences to try. Our last afternoon we found this little place within walking distance (as most places are in marblehead) and reviews seemed good. Luckily they weren’t busy so we didn’t need a reservation at that time. After entering we were happily surprised by the decor and menu options, yet somehow we were even more surprised by our appetizers and then our entrées. After being told at another place our first night in marblehead that no restaurants served bread pudding, we ordered two when our server told us they had it (and they fresh and delicious). Had we been in town any longer we definitely would have returned to try some other options. We plan to be back in the area in the spring and we’ll be making sure we have reservations.
