It's rare that we go out for a meal in New Hampshire and report having anything we don't absolutely love. That might be the result of keeping meticulous notes on all the spots recommended by friends and family. Or it could be due to the fact that there are so many fantastic spots to choose from here. Either way, we'll happily munch our way through New Hampshire if it means ending up at this restaurant in Berlin with the most classic old-school vibes.

Every once in a while, it's a real treat to go out for a nice dinner. Whether it's for a date night out, an evening with family or friends, or a special occasion, splurging on a delicious meal is totally worth it. I love to do this occasionally but it's also good to not make it too much of a habit. That way, when I do go out, it feels really special. And for some of the best Italian cuisine in New Hampshire, there's no better upscale dining experience than Lucciano's in Londonderry.

These are the places where you can find some of the best food in unique and relaxing spaces. One of these gems is in the small city of Rochester, and it's one of the best tap rooms in NH.
