Restaurants in Salem

1. Bella Verona

   • Salem, USA
   • Restaurants › Italian

   The striped awning and overflowing flower boxes are the perfect gateway into this romantic trattoria in the heart of Salem. Owner Giogio Manzana has brought the flavors from his home region (Verona, of course) and the results are delightful. Aside from the impeccable food and service, this place is cozy, ie crowded. Don't plan on discussing anything too private over your plates of pasta.

2. Old Spot

   • Salem, USA
   • Restaurants › Pub

   It's pub food, to be sure, but so perfectly prepared that it becomes a dining experience – a meat pie with beef and lamb in a Guinness stew, a slow-roasted pork sammie where the pork melts in your mouth, irresistible sweet potato fries. Dim lighting and plush pillows make the place extra comfortable and cozy.

3. Rockmore Floating Restaurant

   • Salem, USA
   • Restaurants › Other

   That’s right: floating. Set on a barge in the middle of Salem Harbor, this clam shack is the ultimate place to refuel on a hot summer day. Catch the free shuttle boat from the Congress St bridge, but don’t forget to tip the captain.

    Red’s Sandwich Shop

    • Salem, USA
    • Restaurants › Diner

    This Salem institution has been serving eggs and sandwiches to faithful customers for over 50 years. The food is hearty and basic, but the real attraction is Red’s old-school decor, complete with counter service and friendly faces. It’s housed in the old London Coffee House building (around since 1698).

    Cilantro

    • Salem, USA
    • Restaurants › Modern american

    The North Shore goes south of the border. This is not your mama’s Mexican food, though. Cilantro’s menu uses inventive dishes like sea bass al naranjo (seabass with oranges) or albondigas al chipotle (cheese-stuffed meatballs) to draw out the subtle textures and flavors that sometimes get lost in your average taco.
