Daniella's Cafe & Market
Our made to order take-out menu has been updated and reflects all of your Daniella's Cafe favorites including TRUFFLE FRIES! Also, our "Family Dinners" are now able to be ordered any time of day! Did someone say Tenderloin and Risotto for lunch? Yum! We still have our cases stocked with Prepared Foods and Pastries available for purchase in our Market.

Don't forget to snag that bottle of White or Red to complete your Italian experience. Daniella's is an intimate Italian cafe tucked away in Danvers, Massachusetts. Our market, packed with hand rolled pastas, fresh baked breads, and Italian pastry creates an unparalleled atmosphere while dining. Offerings like Shrimp Scampi, Baked Haddock and Chicken Parmesan are just a few favorites.

We love Daniella's to dine in or for pick up! Food is great and consistent as is the friendly staff. Cute little set up with a great bar area - highly recommend for a date night...

Fine local place with excellent food and drinks. A few basics always on the menu, specials are always interesting. Reminds me of the cafes you find in Italy or France, not the behemoths that fill much of the restaurant landscape here. Fine attentive staff.

A very friendly Italian restaurant. Great selection with nice deserts too. We took our time and weren't rushed. My favorite chicken parmesan was just the way I liked it. I'll visit again.

What a great little spot. Super clean, authentic Italian spot. Chicken Caesar salad was HUGE and super good. Not a pizza place salad for sure. Super nice bartender/waitress for our lunch. Definitely will be back to try some other items, maybe for a date night.

I've been to Daniella's multiple times and the food is always on point! Their Sunday sauce is to die for. The most recent time I visited I ordered their special, which was seabass and I couldn't have made a better choice. It was delicious. Love the cute little market with the to go desserts and sauces. It is hard to leave without buying a few delicious treats! My only complaint is the seating was so close neither of us could really move at our tiny table. This is a must try spot! Definitely a hidden gem.

Had dinner here last night and it was fabulous, food was so delicious, I had chicken parmigiana, chicken was excellent cooked to perfection and the sauce OMG I have never tasted sauce this good. Partner had haddock with lemon risotto sooooo good. Risotto was perfect with a hint of lemon really delicious. Wine is reasonably priced which is not always the case in the USA. Server was very attentive and professional, all in all a very pleasant experience and we will return.

One of the best meals I have had in quite some time. The ambiance is very romantic and service is impeccable. You are greeted by a basket of warm bread with a lovely red pepper flakes olive oil to dip it in. I chose the shrimp scampi for my entree and it was delicious. The accent of lemon with the fresh shrimp was out of this world. I was so full I got my cannoli to go and had it the following day. It was perfect. I really hope I get the chance to revisit this place someday.

I just had a salad, late lunch. The service was exceptional, the establishment was clean and comfortable. I would go back for a full meal. I am not sure, because I did not ask about gluten free options. The server said they had gluten free pasta and could insure other dishes were gluten free. It's hard to find GF at an Italian Cafe, so the offer was welcomed and seemed genuine.

Updated some recent menus, their food is super delicious! We had a late afternoon lunch outside(actually dinner)m), surrounded by rhododendron, peaceful and romantic atmosphere, server is so friendly and food served fast. Place is clean and well social distanced. I loved their coffee, feels very original and special.

We had the most amazing meals and service. I highly recommend for a table for two and large parties. There were nine of us today celebrating my son-in-law's 40th birthday, my birthday and my son-in-law an daughter's 11th wedding anniversary. We sat in the patio area and felt like we had the room to ourselves. We had three kids with us and they had kid friendly meals and desserts. Our server Devon was absolutely exceptional and never wrote anything down and got everything perfect. It was a fabulous day. Thank you Daniella's!

My wife and I showed up tonight at 8:24 for an 8:15 reservation. We were seated promptly but left after 20+ mins b/c nobody came to our table to take so much as a drink order. There's no excuse for that, looked like a lot of hungry people waiting for food in a restaurant that is woefully understaffed. The bread and water were excellent though, so they get 1 star for that.

Daniella's is a great spot for a cozy lunch or dinner! The interior is beautifully designed/well maintained, and the food is consistently good.

My favorite menu item is the Tuscan salad with grilled salmon, which is on the lunch menu but can also be ordered at dinner. It features all kinds of roasted vegetables, fresh mozzarella pearls and asparagus wrapped in prosciutto.

They also have a beautiful terrace if you enjoy outdoor dining. I believe it is heated in the cooler months.

I'm docking one star only because my experience with servers has been a bit inconsistent; however, on the

Overall amazing experience. Very professional and friendly staff they obviously love their jobs and are good at it. Recommended from a friend that family members own the restaurant and was told the red sauce is an old family recipe that put them on the map. Ordered a veal parmigiana to try the sauce and was blown away. The noodles (I forget the actual name) was cooked perfectly, the veal was legit, and the red sauce is absolutely terrific. The red sauce was so light, fresh, and tasty that my tastebuds was very pleased. The bread given as an appetizer was fresh, soft, and very yummy. The interior

Oh my goodness! Yes, is the answer to if you should try Daniellas or not. This meal was phenomenal. Start to finish. Don’t walk, don’t run, drive fast and go now. We started with blood orange cosmopolitans they were strong and delightful, arancini with Bolognese and Danielle’s Salad as appetizers, best arancini and Bolognese I’ve ever had. Salad had pistachios and Gorgonzola and a nice balance of tangy vinaigrette. Dinner was chicken broc ziti in a pink sauce , not my usual goto but it was amazing, chicken was delicious, also had tenderloin with risotto and haddock and risotto,, unbelievably

Writing this (12:29A 5/24) as im on rotation to the toilet. I got sick from my meal here on Sunday 5/23 afternoon. I got the eggplant parm. I was mildly suspicious when my food came out less then 10 mins after ordering it, but chocked it up to super fast service as the establishment was at maybe 1/3 capacity.

I ate around my eggplant as half was mushy and the other half was uncooked. We discussed how we'd never go back based on our experience thus far. We didn't speak up at the time as we were feeling bad for raising awareness to how gross both of our meals were. It had been a long

Beautiful, old school leather-and-wood Italian restaurant, with a high end feel. White tablecloths and soft jazz add to the mood - and this was for lunch! Definitely a higher end place, with prices edging toward the upper end, but a tightly focused menu with professional service. Started with the eggplant rollatini appetizer, which was served piping hot from the oven, was well made and tasty. The eggplant was a bit over cooked for my taste, but that's to be expected when it's cooked and then reheated by baking in the oven. Still, it was filling and a relatively large portion for

I don't write yelp reviews but this place deserves it. If you're reading this wondering if you should go here, do yourself a favor and go here. Food and service are better than any north end restaurant I've been to (Shout out to Jacob. Guys the man, super nice and helpful). I'm not kidding from the bread and oil to start, through dinner, all the way to the deserts to go on the way out, best date night Italian restaurant experience I can remember.

This is a very nice place to grab and go, or wait at the hostess stand and be seated for a very nice meal in a cozy dining room. Date night? Perfect place, just call for reservations well ahead of time. In better weather, they have a lovely outdoor seating area. Looks like a nice place for an engagement proposal, if you ask me.

There are pastry items in a display case that are made in house. They will tell you which items are not made in house, and they carefully source those items. Hey, no foul offering an item that a business nearby makes better. At least you know you are getting the best!
