Now hungry diners can have Italian-style seafood, veal, and made-from-scratch pasta dishes right here on the North Shore. After 22 years as one of the best chefs in the North End, the talented chef Faisal knows how to prepare traditional and gour- met dishes, and he enjoys adding his own twist to a carefully crafted menu. Specialty martinis and wonderful wines make the elegant atmosphere all the more enjoyable. 220 Sutton Street, North Andover, 01845, 978-258-0658, buonobistro.com. $$ CAFE PIAZZA DOLCE With her roots in Avellino, Italy, chef-owner Alessandra Siniscalco's Cafe Piazza Dolce offers both quality interpretations of classic Neapolitan dishes and innovative new culinary ventures. Her Winchester-based trattoria features locally sourced ingredients and from-scratch, to-order cuisine. The multi-level restaurant's interior reflects the surrounding area's hip sensibilities while also paying tribute to the old country. A gazebo dining room, street-level bar, open kitchen, and lower-level private dining room all offer something a little different. With its quaint and cozy atmosphere and lovingly prepared dishes, Cafe Piazza Dolce is a dining destination not to be missed. Now is a great time to stop in for a special dinner. 831 Main Street, Winchester, 01890, 781-838-6092, cafepiazzadolce.com. $$ LUCIA RISTORANTE & BAR Lucia Ristorante & Bar showcases cuisine inspired by dishes from more than 20 regions in Italy.
