Daniella's Cafe and Market - Italian restaurant in Danvers - 78 Holten St, USA

We have wanted to try Daniella’s for a while and finally did with three friends. Booked via Open Table, arrived 15 minutes early and our table was ready. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. The warm, crusty complimentary bread was outstanding served with Parmesan, crushed red pepper olive oil. For entrees, our party ordered: the chicken Marsala special over cavatelli, salmon over risotto (which was a substitute), baked haddock over risotto and a bowl of Italian wedding soup. Everything arrived together, piping hot and delicious. My chicken Marsala melted in my mouth although the Marsala sauce (taste) was different from any I’ve had, can’t quite put my finger on how I could describe the “difference “. Both seafood dishes were perfectly cooked. For dessert, we all shared the tiramisu which hit the spot. We would all definitely return and this was a great stop before our show at the No Shore Music Theatre.

Welcoming decor with very nice terrace seating. Full of details. We had a table by the window that overlooked the covered terrace. Fantastic service and food. The house Cabernet Sauvignon was delicious. We had arancini (rice balls), meatballs, mushroom risotto plus the main courses. Very authentic Italian cuisine with very fresh ingredients. Definitely saved to my favorites for when I return to the area.

I got takeout from her and was sadly disappointed. I ordered a pasta dish and couldn’t really get through it due to the amount of oil - it was pretty off putting. Takeout experience was fine and the atmosphere looked nice but the quality of the food was just not good, the dish was lacking flavor as well. (This was the gluten free chicken broccoli pasta, I asked for sausage instead of chicken).

We discovered this place accidentally and we love our lunch time there today. We entered into the store after 1pm and continuously saw people came for lunch after then, even at the moment we were about to leave. The warm bread was amazing and it was served with the dipping oil, a concoction of oil, cheese and red pepper flakes. We ordered two pasta which we both love them. We ordered two pastas which we both love them. I ordered shrimp scampi. The grilled shrimp smelled really good but it’s not just the smells of the grilled shrimps. The herbs and tomato source matched each other perfectly in the source. The other one is spaghetti &meatballs. It was also very good. I loved the source which was completely different from mine. The desserts were also very very good. Their tiramisu definitely is something you cannot miss.

Incredible! Amazing! Huge potions of great food! So many choices and daily specials! I could and might go into a food coma from the wonderful desserts. The picture of the Coconut Almond Cake does not do it justice, we shared it and still could not finish it! The whole staff is friendly and just perfect! My wife went her favorite Chicken Parm, 2 good size pieces cooked crispy without being overdone or dry. MARINARA is sweet and flavorful. I tried the special Sausage Orecchiette with Broc Rab. Wow, also could not finish it, my wife had to stop me it was so good! I was undecided because the other choice was the Eggplant special with the house Italian whipped ricotta, so the waiter brought me a side of the whipped ricotta which to me made my dish over the top and round the world! We will be back!

Great food. Pan seared salmon, shrimp and the winter salad was awesome.

Absolutely EVERYTHING was phenomenal…. The soup and chicken parm sandwich were amongst the best I have ever had. Service was great, pricing reasonable and just a great meal. Will be back!

Food was excellent and the service was great. The bread served before the meal was probably the best so far in many Italian restaurants I went. Don’t forget to leave some room for desserts!
