    Would have given a perfect 5 stars for everything but we don’t enjoy sitting in the lower room as much as the main dining room. It’s always cold. The Food and service is wonderful!

    The filets we ordered had to be the toughest I’ve ever had. They extremely chewy. I can’t imagine that we’re actually filet mignon. I should have known never to order steak at an Italian restaurant. However, the appetiser was good as well as the dessert.

    we had a great dinner, started with stuffed mushrooms and then had penne with vodka sauce and chicken piccata. The expresso martini's were great and our server was equally as great.

    Awesome experience with my daughter, we're excited to come back. It's the local spot for families and date nights in Stoneham on Friday and Saturday night with authentic Italian everyone will like. My daughter got the kids pasta and I ordered the Linguine Bolognese, the tab was not expensive at all, I made sure to take care of the waitstaff who were all very attentive and friendly.

    Nice place for dinner, parking in a lot available and street parking good. There were 5 of us and they put us in a good table with lots of room. The staff was great, the food was really good, I had a seafood dish, the others had a salad, a meat, another seafood and a pasta dish. All very good, the salad with chicken was basic although it was a salad......

    Excellent fresh pasta. The eggplant parm was really good. Reasonably priced. It was a little loud, but that was because people were having fun. A little dated inside, but overall a very good local Italian restaurant with quality food and good service. Just as good as the Northend without having to go into Boston and deal with parking, etc. Highly recommended.

    Our waitress and the front desk were all excellent and helpful. I was a bit disappointed in the food. The dish I ordered had artichokes in it and the it contained the tough outside leaves of the artichoke that were hard and unedible. Also, the pasta was too al dente.

    This was the best chicken, broccoli and ziti I have had in 30 years. All ingredients perfect including a type of pasta I have not had previously. My dining mates were also very happy with their meals. All four of us made the clean plate club. Food exceptional including lightly toasted Italian bread. I will be back!

    My husband and I took our grandson and friend out for dinner last night and it was fantastic! I love Gaetano’s ambience and our server, Cheryl, was so awesome. She was very friendly and so quick with the service. We had the vinegar peppers and onions pork chops and the peddler potatoes and our friend had the mussels and linguini which she absolutely loved! My grandson, of course, had the chicken cutlet parmigiana and linguini because he says Gaetano’s has the best chicken parm and for dessert, he had the spumoni! We will definitely be back again and again!!

    First time here. It was good. A lot of food ! The food was good, but nothing wow ! I enjoyed my visit and would go back ! I'd like to try the pizza ! Espresso martini was very good !! The eggplant rollatini, was ok. I'd didn't like that there was either meat in them or the sauce on them. Just a personal preference! Our waitress was wonderful !

    Service was very slow - we only saw 2 waiters so understandable. However- when we did see her, waitress very nice. food is good but not exceptional. Will have to try it again before we decide either way on this restaurant. Liked the ambiance. Generous pour on the wine.

    It was a disappointing experience. I ordered the haddock with seafood stuffing. Not a big fan of mashed potatoes, so I asked for double veggies which was asparagus. I hesitate to send meals back because I don't trust what might happen. They took it back because they immediately realized it contained mashed potatoes. Second time, haddock with just asparagus. Problem was, there were about 8 spears, the size of thin spaghetti. I looked around and other patrons had nice thick spears. Didn't send it back because like I said, don't trust them and they proved me right. Won't be going back there any time soon
