I have been in Andover for about two years now, and have identified a few very good places, and some not so good places.

Some of my favorites include

Vincenzo's  -  Italian, very good, pricey
Pasta Villagio - Italian, mostly pasta, cheap, huge portions, try the farfale with pesto, chicken, and sundried tomatoes Jasmine (north andover) - Northern Chinese Petros (closed!!!!) - Andover Inn - everyone knows this one

...and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Anybody have other favorites in the Andover/North Andover/Lawrence/North Reading/Tewksbury area ?

Thanks,

Andy

I used to live in North Andover. Actually was engaged to the women who managed the restaurant that Jasmine was built over. (it burned down after her brother acidentally left a stove on)

Jasmine was a good eclectic restaurant with some tasty and unusual dishes. I went back there a few months back and it had succumbed to the Americanization typical of Chinese restaurants in the suburbs. The food was much blander and *every* main course had sugar added.
