When I tell you that there should be a line a mile long around the block to get in this place... I am being dead serious. I was lucky enough to eat here last weekend and it was some of the greatest food I have ever stuffed in my pie hole. I am talking about at least 4 dishes on the menu that will blow your socks off... not 1... 4 maybe even 5. Do yourself a favor and drop what you are doing to go eat here! ... right now! White bolognese ....mic drop �
LaRoss's, Welcome to the neighborhood, outstanding service, atmosphere, and food. The food was the best I have tasted in a long time. You will leave full. I will recommend this place to everyone. #bestfoodintown
I've been to the bar a few times (still need to try the cafe!) but in my humble opinion LaRosa's has the best outdoor seating area in all of Andover. It's like sitting in a little piece of the North End! Their cocktail selection is excellent, the waitstaff have always been friendly and helpful. This is definitely a gem of Andover.
LaRosa's is a great place that is casual enough for a weeknight but yet the vibe is electric on the weekends! Great staff, accommodating & friendly! Food is out of this world amazing! Perfect to grab a quick meal, a tasty salad, or an adult beverage! Food is simple with seasonal offerings. The quality is outstanding! Can't say enough about LaRosas!!!
Amazing Food & Atmosphere!!! We arrived at 6:20 for a 6:30pm reservation and they sat us right away. The hostess was wonderful letting us test wine before choosing. The meal was great and the coffee creme brûlée to die for.
The best lunch spot in Andover! Also great for food and drinks after work!
I have to give this place 5 solid, earned stars! The food is wonderful. I try to stay away from bread in my daily life, but it's nearly impossible here because they have the best bread/rolls around (and I'm a Jersey snob!). The salads, sandwiches and desserts are all delicious. I have been here about 10-12 times and have NEVER been disappointed. Big kudos to the staff - my daughter and I walked out the other day both saying at the same time that the staff is phenomenal. They go the extra mile for you! If they ever have the lemon cake, try it. It is the best cake I've had in my life! (and did I mention I'm a Jersey snob?). Can't say any more positive about this place. Just the best around!

LaRosa's is a favorite all around! The food is fresh, delicious and creative, and the service is impeccable. The bar and patio (love the patio!!) offer cozy seating whether your having lunch or indulging in a date night.

Outstanding...my boyfriend and I had a pasta dish each with eggplant, meatballs and chicken parm... We go out to eat very often and we gotta say...we'll be back again and again! The back outdoor patio looks like something out of the North End and we'll be seated there next time �
My boyfriend and I went to LaRosa's for the very first time last night. And what an experience! Not only was the ambiance, and food amazing! But the staff was so welcoming and so friendly! We were happily greeted about a girl who seemed to be the host, who pointed to the owner and let us know he would be the one taking names. When we have our names, we were informed their was a half hour wait and so we decided to run home and get something. When we returned, we let them know we had come back and he immediately remembered our name. We ordered a drink and the bartender said "you're waiting for a table it's caitlin right?" I was so shocked! Because he was nowhere near is when the owner took our name and regreeted us! Great staff, great food! There definitely is a reason they are so busy! Amazing!
My experience at LaRosa's was wonderful. The atmosphere was electric. The wait staff was fantastic. Loved meeting all my son Brian Ricci's friends. The food was absolutely,the best ever. We actually ate there twice on my 6 day visit to Boston. Loved Angelo . Definitely 5 Star all the way .
I come here every time I'm in Andover, which is about every 3 weeks! Wish this place was here when I lived here but I'll still make the trek from NH
Great food, bar staff are lovely
Had a large group and they managed to accommodate all of us outside which was just perfect!
Great food! They now have a nice bar & serve wine & beer too! Definitely a must while in Andover! Also great caterers!
In love with this place! Amazing selection and outstanding food - all beautiful downtown Andover.
Best restaurant in the area. Excellent menu and customer service. Thank you to Paul LaRosa for the Prosecco to help us celebrate last night!
Fantastic experience. Delicious food. Solid presentation. Nice casual outdoor dining. I had The Godfather sandwich and it was great
Amazing little shop/restaurant/bar. The food was fantastic! Everything looked and tasted fresh, juicy, and tender. Service was outstanding, friendly, and quick. The manager was visible and available and went above and beyond to give us an insider tip and to go order. Simply amazing 😉 Visit...NOW!
If visiting for the first time you will notice 2 negatives right away. Parking can be difficult but I've always found a place to park. If you are arriving to LaRosa's at lunch time expect to wait in a long line with limited seating options, but they are very quick and I have always found a table. So those are the negatives, but the positive and most important is the food is amazing. I have gone to LaRosa's for many years and have had many differnt meals. I have never been disappointed with any of the meals I have ordered. I highly recommend trying it, if you never been, it is definitely a local favorite of mine and many others based on the lines.
Fresh flowers on table appreciation! Cute spot near main st. Very elegant and chic atmosphere. Service was nice and the menu was fresh. The Pear Gimlet cocktail was absolutely delicious..I ordered the swordfish and it was incredible. My friend ordered a pasta dish and we shared a dessert. You reallyy can't go wrong here.
I like the food it was very good and cappuccino was excellent. It was cramped dining, for what I paid I believe there should have been a little more room for the customer. I could touched the customer next to me. It's like pack them in. But you know how estate is on Main street Andover, MA is.
Came in for a dinner with a friend, and had an absolutely amazing time. Service was swift and cordial, and the ambiance was very welcoming.
The Cavatelli Bolognese my friend had was especially good. Made me feel that I was having something straight from an Italian grandmother. My Veal Milanese was also tasty and well breaded. The tiramisu for dessert was not overwhelmingly sweet, and light enough to not make you feel like you've just been a glutton at the table.
They don't have Painkiller cocktails on the menu, but they make them on request, and they make a citrusy version of it.
1st time visit. Start to finish outstanding. We had 5 entrees and 2 apps. The Gorgonzola Ravioli (dont let the name make you pass it up) and the Rigatoni Bianco ( please send me your recipe) were the standouts but the special, Digiorno COD was excellent slso as was the veal chop. The appetizers was scallop civech, also excellent. Chocolate Cake and cheese cake for dessert, also very good. Great service as we has a few needy ones in the group.
The things I've tried here are reliable and good. I would recommend the arugula salad with lemon basil vinaigrette and the penne ala vodka. The service is also friendly and fast.
