This week I went to Magia Restaurant & Bar located on 126 Newbury St, Danvers 📍

For drinks we had their Green with Envy🍸 which contained Hendricks Gin, mint, cucumber, St. Germain and lime. We also tried their On Blackberry Hill tequila drink 🍹 which contained Casamigos Blanco tequila, chambord, blackberry soda, triple sec and mint. Both cocktails were soooo delicious! If cocktails aren’t your thing then they have a plethora of wine🍷 to choose from as well!

For appetizers we had their Antipasto della Casa which was an array of meats🥩 and cheeses🧀 including prosciutto, roasted red peppers, crimini mushrooms, pickled red onion, pickled eggplant to name a few. We also had their beet salad and fried oysters 🦪(my personal favorite!).

For entrees there was so much to choose from 🍝! We had their pappardelle bolognese which was a traditional meat ragu pasta. The gnocchi spezzatino (my personal favorite!) with sautéed veal, shiitake mushrooms, capers and sundried tomatoes. The frutti di mare which had a variety of seafood including Lobster🦞 , clams, mussels, calamari🦑 , shrimp🦐 , clam purée and linguine. Good luck trying to eat all this in one sitting! Finally, the chicken🐔 milanese which consisted of lemon🍋 caper sauce, roasted tomatoes and arugula salad.

Now if you arent stuffed already from reading this wait till you hear about dessert.

For dessert we had an oreo cheesecake 🍰 , chocolate lava cake with vanilla gelato🍨 (my personal favorite!) , an espresso and a cappuccino to top it off!

This place does not skimp out on portions so be sure to unbutton your pants or get that doggy bag ready to take home.

Also, the ambiance in here is beautiful (fireplace/chandeliers 😍). Be sure to check out their entertainment and dinner specials on their website in case you are looking for a venue for an upcoming event!

There is a reason why this place is on the best of the North shore list. Also, as an FYI you can always trust an Italian🤌🇮🇹 spot that has portaits of their family throughout the restaurant.
