    Nice and versatile menu. Enjoyed log hot peppers, and artichoke francaise, prepared to perfection. Our entrees were all veal dishes, the veal was tender and the sauces flavorful. Topped off our dinner with Arctic ice cream, surprisingly peanut butter was among the selections, this was enjoyed by all!!!! Always a great place to enjoy a meal. Almost forgot the cosmo martini was delicious 🍸

    Our first visit to Revere even though we've lived in the area for many years, and we're sorry we haven't come before. The service was outstanding; it felt like the staff worked as a team, and the service was very well-timed. If we had just finished with a dish, someone was there to remove it. If we had finished with our bread, someone was there with more bread. But the service never felt obtrusive. It was perfect, and how often does a diner get to say that? We came specially for the Wednesday Prime Rib Night, and the prime rib was excellent, cooked exactly as we had requested. Even the green beans were perfect, tender but with a bit of snap. Our first Revere experience was delightful!
