Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Exeter – 2024

Friday night bliss! Six cuts of their double crust white with crispy onions and a large Italian Stromboli! Dining pleasure full of flavor! Old school Italian with top quality ingredients. Hand formed pizza crusts. Not loaded with butter like some many of the other double crust pizza in the Valley. Light and airy crust on Stromboli as well. Super impressed with my first visit. You can feel and taste the tradition in this food. Family recipes and techniques handed down through generations! You must order from Biscotti’s tonight!

I loved this pizza. Whole family loved it! It immediately reminded me of one of my favorite OLD FORGE pizza places growing up no longer around. The WHITE pizza reminded me also of my favorite OLD FORGE WHITE currently still in business.

Very delicious food and beautiful interior dining room, outgoing and friendly service and very good prices! And here’s some bonus pics of the sunset that me and my brother got to see right after eating!

I worked with Marissa and her team for our wedding catering at Whitewoods. Grico' s waitstaff and bartenders were efficient and professional during our entire wedding. We had a large wedding, 218 people, and Grico's was wonderful in plating and serving delicious food. Marissa was absolutely wonderful to work with and was so kind, professional, and flexible to help make our day exactly what we wanted. Thank you Grico's for a beautiful evening and wonderful food!!!! Everyone said food was delicious!

First time at Grico's and I'll definitely be back. We reserved a private room and it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. My guests and I all had wonderful entrées, though we collectively all thought the cocktails were entirely too sweet. Our waiter was very nice, attentive, and conversational. Definitely check out this spot.

Chose Grico's for a special occasion this weekend. The staff, especially Matt our server, is amazing and the food was just delicious. Clams in butter garlic appetizer, house made creamy Bleu cheese dressing, and lump crab casserole is very highly recommended. Great chef. Looking forward to coming back....

It was worthwhile eating here. We ordered ribeye grilled cheese w/ frys and bullwinkle burger w/ garlic butter broccoli. Everything was cooked perfect and was very good. Server very personable prompt. Definitely will be back. It is a sport …

Walked from my hotel to the Thirsty Moose, because I was too hungry to go anywhere else. Walked in stood there waiting to be seated, there was no hostess and everyone that worked there just looked at me and kept it going. Eventually a young …

We loved the tasting menu concept. Each course was a work of art and outstanding on its own. A lovely and unique dining experience.

We had been wanting to try this restaurant for some time and we finally found a date that worked. We loved the concept of this restaurant and the food was so delicious. We are already planning our next time here.

We drove almost 2 hours to eat here, and unfortunately it did not meet our expectations. The menu said one course was duck with cherries, which we were excited about, but then the waitress said it was a misprint and it was chicken and cherries. She said the misprint was the chefs fault and he'd left on vacation. Odd, but ok. The first course was soup and salad, both painfully bland and unseasoned, both could have used salt and acid. I suggested we ask for salt but my partner wanted to wait in the hopes things improved. The second course was gnocchi and a carrot dish. Again, unseasoned and bland, and we were regretting the drive. I asked for table salt, which made the third course better. The fourth course, both the pork and beef, were wonderful. Salt, acid, well balanced and delicious. We wished it hadn't taken three courses to find the flavor. The desserts were good. When someone asked at the end if we enjoyed our food, I mentioned our concerns. The woman said she was surprised because she usually finds the food there too salty. Odd again- the waitress blamed the absent chef for incorrect menus and the hostess disparaged the food that usually comes out of the kitchen. We came a long way, expecting a James Beard worthy dinner, and instead paid $200 for a forgettable meal.

I can see why it’s so hard to get a reservation! This tiny, adorable restaurant is a new fave. Just a handful of tables with lovely river views. We were sat at a somewhat awkward table by the bar but it ended up being cozy and cute. Our server was really nice. We started off with the mushroom bruschetta and it was the best dish of the night. And I legit don’t even like mushroom. Then my husband had a crab or lobster cake which was good, but a bit salty, and I had a tuna dish which was lovely. My ravioli was our least favorite of the evening as it was served in a sauce that was essentially water. whether that was intentional or a fluke, I’m genuinely not sure, but I’m assuming intentional and it just didn’t work. The hot water seeped into the ravioli so it was a watery surprise every bite. My husband got a pasta that had a lemon element to it and that was good. We finished our bottle of wine with some amazing cannolis (espresso, I think they were). We made new reservations on our way out and look forward to returning.

Fantastic little spot. Handmade pasta daily. Sign me up. We booked reservations at the bar. Checked in 10min prior and we were seated pretty much right away. Staff was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about what to recommend. We ordered a blueberry and goat cheese bruschetta, meatballs in broth, and I had ravioli while my girl had the braised short rib and pasta choice. And we had their olive oil cake. Flavors were awesome, everything just melted in your mouth. I really don't think you would find anything you don't like on this menu or that isn't prepped, cooked, and constructed with precision and thought. Street parking wasn't an issue. The atmosphere is cozy, fairly low key, quiet, and relaxed. 7tables and the bar seating keeps it that way. Book ahead of time they seemingly are booked out weeks/months. If you get a chance, stop in. If you like authentic Italian cuisine, you will be pleased.

This is hands down a gem. Every time we go, the service is wonderful, particularly Lindsay, Lisa and Alyssa are all wonderful and on numerous occasions have treated us like family. Tim’s food is incredible and reminds me of my grandmother and grandfather’s cooking. You must get the traditional bruschetta, and try whatever amazing pasta dish catches your eye that night. The cocktails are also amazing, and I do have to say the olive oil pistachio cake is my favorite dessert near by. Go now. I just got married and as a surprise they gifted us a bottle of sparking Italian wine to take home after we got our bill, and my husband wasn’t even with me! It was a girl’s night out and Lindsay remembered we recently got married this summer. They wanted my husband and I to have a drink together on the house. This is what I mean by it feels like family. I’m always enthralled by our experience here. Thank you for being a wonderful place where we feel at home, but are being treated to an amazing dinner experience. 10/10 go!
