“ My friend and I had a wonderful lunch time meal, here today! Our waitress was delightful (unfortunately, I cannot remember her name). My friend had a fabulous pizza with artichoke hearts and other vegetables, and I enjoyed the gnocchi with olives, red roasted peppers, olive oil, etc.. photos below! My 4th time here, and I will be back. The lights and decorations are always beautiful and whimsical! ”

“ Good food, great service (bar) & fun atmosphere. In RI for business & brought a colleague who loved everything from the bread/oil to the wine. Love this place! ”

“ Had been meaning to try Macera's for some time as it took over a site that in our 11 years here has turned over a number of times and it's not only stuck but always seems packed! It's clear why it's always packed. The chicken escarole soup was very very good. I had the Jesse's Special which was terrific! Kiddo had the pepperoni pizza which ... was the real surprise. So so good. Wife's and my pasta was cooked well and my hot & dirty martini was fantastic. Great service too. ”

“ I love Macera's chicken escarole soup. I bring their gallon container and fill it up. If we don't finish it, I freeze it in 1 cup ice cube trays. Perfect portions. If I lived closer, I'd buy it every week. ”

“ When we came in we were quickly seated and our server was nice and friendly We were started with bread and butter while looking over the menu. The bread was really nice and soft with a crispy outside. Some of the best bread I've had . The had a seasoned olive oil which paired fantastically with the bread ( we did have to ask for the olive oil as the bread only came with butter). For appetizers I started off with 2 appetizers , the fried calamari, and the sausage with polenta. For the sausage with polenta The sauce is very sweet, a little too sweet for me and nott what I was expecting. I also wished it would've been fried polenta since the polenta itself was pretty plain. The fried calamari was great. The octopus was nice and soft while the outside was still crispy. Perfectly cooked. It also came with banana peppers which I am not used to getting with my calamari. They came warm and not overly sour. I'm normally not too fond of banana peppers but it works so well with the calamari that I would definitely eat that combo again. For the soup side on the main dishes, we were given a choice between the chicken soup or the soup of the day ( which happened to be white bean that day). Bean soup was pretty good, better than the chicken soup imo but the bean soup was a bit too salty on the throat. Most dishes also came with a side of pasta with a basic tomato sauce. Nothing too special about that. Just very very basic. The Chicken francahaie was decent. The flavor was nice, nothing too special about it but it was good. If you like to chit chat though, this dish did get very salty after letting it sit for a while. I got the Giovanni and it was also decent. The fish and sauce didn't stand out to me as a dish. Fish was cooked alright, the sauce was decent but nothing to write home about. Celitano chicken The celitano chicken was a thin piece of chicken topping with all the veggies. When took our first bite we noticed it was a bit overcooked. Everyone at the table tried a piece and we could all agree on that. We told the waitress and she took it right back and had the kitchen make us another one right away, never dropping her jovial demeanor. When we got the new one, it was perfect. The veggies were good, the chicken was nice and tender, not overcooked, and the sauce was great. I think this was my favorite dish that night. My girlfriend got the spinach tortellini which was alright. The cheese a little too funky for me . Not anythign wrong with the dish ,just a me thing. It was however a little heavy on the cheese and made it feel too clingy and thick. I know my review doesn't make them out to be that great but this is definitely place I would go to again. The food was decent, the service was good, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Not to mention that the portion sizes were big enough that I think I was the only person in the group that didn't need a Togo container ( I don't think my girlfriend was even able to finish half her food before feeling stuffed). I would definitely come here again if I'm ever in the mood for a simple get together with friends. ”

“ Had some great food and drink here at Macera's! Each of my group of four got a pasta or chicken dish and we all loved our meals. We also love that it came with soup! Service was top notch all around, everyone from the host to the bussers was awesome. The whole restaurant was decorated for fall, which added a cozy vibe. Would definitely return! ”

“ We came here last night quite a few years since they moved to this location. The last time we went to Macera's, we didn't think we'd go back, but it's been quite a while, so we tried it again. We were very happy with our menu choices! I had eggplant manicotti - thin eggplant stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella, with red sauce over the top, and a side of pasta. My husband had chicken Marsala over bow tie pasta. He loved it! The place was packed, but we got right in with only 2 of us. If you make a reservation, your entire party must be present to sit in the dining room. There was plenty of parking. They also sell soup and sauce by the container. Our meals came with soup, chicken escarole was his choice, and I had a salad, which was an upcharge. We decided we'd go back since we totally enjoyed our meal! ”

“ The ambiance in this restaurant is always changing with the seasons and they offer the seasonal changes with their menu specials along side their pretty extensive regular menu. As far as the quality of their dishes, which always in point. The service is just as impressive. This restaurant is always busy so be patient and do enjoy your meal. ”
