Review from Eric S.
Salem, MA
This is one review I've been looking forward to writing. I first learned about 8/10 Bar & Grille at the FOX25 ZipTrip on a Fri morn in downtown Everett. After talking to the owner, Rich Sasso, I told him I'd probably check out the restaurant "sooner rather than later." Well, my brother just came in from out of town and I took both he, and my mother there, less than a few hours later, and I'm glad I did.
Now, I write this review, and give it 5 stars, not as an aficionado of "fine Italian dining" but, simply, as a guy who likes Italian food and has eaten at a LOT of restaurants in a LOT of different places.
1. While the 8/10 is ironically ensconced between 3-4 taquerias, the outside will fade away the moment you step inside. While not large, it makes good use of its space. It avoids the fake Italian decorations that try to make you think you're in Italy. Instead, you'll find a pleasant assortment of Sinatra/Rat Pack era photos gracing the walls with Sinatra music playing in the background.
2. While not a drinker, I know a good, well-stocked bar when I see one. It's a long bar, too, with 3 TV's and, at present, the kind of bartender who seems glad to see you there and makes sure you know you're welcome back. Whether it was a coincidence, or not, the owner was there, as well and, coming from a family business, that's a big plus to me, as well.
3. The menu is full of all kinds of options and, for a very reasonable price, portions are large. They even have a separate "wing menu" with wing creations like "Parmesan & Garlic" and "Hawaiian." The sauce on the fried artichokes was a little too lemony for my taste but that can always be adjusted. Otherwise, we had a great late lunch and found it so pleasurable we stayed 3 hours (only because it wasn't full at that time ;) ) As for dessert, stay tuned!
4. The waitress was pleasant and very accomodating, the owner and bartender friendly, the prices and portions were excellent and the food was delicious. What more can you ask for? Valet Parking? Fend for yourself! ;) -

Came here due to good reviews & had a nice meal. Details:
Chicken parm sliders (4) were adorable & came with extra sauce for dipping. Nice touch. Gave them a 6.5/10 only because I'm a big fan of chicken parm & while good, they could have been better (i.e., more taste...they were a bit bland, but bread was soft & somewhat sweet).
Pizza was really good, & so was the service. Attentive & friendly. Bar has a few large tv's that are probably nice for games, but we sat in the dining room.
Next time I'll try their wings, as they have their own separate menu with lots of flavors. -

I've been to the 8/10 many times for pizza, appetizers and drinks and it was always a good and fun time. I just came back from having lunch there the first time, and while the food was still good, the service was not. Our waitress, let's call her "M", had only a few tables, yet she was forgetful and inattentive.
My dad and I ordered two appetizers, calamari and buffalo sliders. M came back with only calamari. My dad asked for a Miller and received a Miller Light. When we got our burgers, my dad's burger did not have cheese on it as he had asked for. When my dad asked for another beer, M sat down at the bar and continued watching TV and checking her phone. He was trying to wave to get her attention and actually got another staff member to get him a beer!
If you're prone to forgetting orders, here's a novel idea: Write everything down! If you're on the clock, you shouldn't have your cell phone out or be watching tv. You should be attentive and making sure the customers are happy.
This place deserves 4 stars for food and, in general, 4 stars for service. But, if this lunch experience were my first time at the 8/10, I'd probably would never come back. The server messed up many times and just shrugged it off, turning her full attention to the tv. Does she realize that she's working for tips?
I'll definitely go back for the food, but I would not want M as my waitress. That girl needs some training.

Tasty food, prepared well, served with a smile, and reasonable prices. .What's not to love? This is one of my favorite places and all the friends I have taken there rave about it and ask to go back right away.
I've had dishes from all over their menu and everything has been excellent. They have some of the best pizza in Massachusetts, their grilled meats are excellent, and even the side dishes are expertly prepared and flavorful.
The staff is cheerful and friendly and remembered me quickly, I'm always made very welcome.
I recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family. -

The place looks a little questionable from the outside but when all was said and done I was pleasantly surprised (I never should have doubted you yelpers!). The waitress was friendly and attentive, but not too pushy. We split the Quatro Formaggio pizza's; it came out quickly and was very tasty. Also had a decent glass of wine with dinner.. They do in fact have a wine / drink menu, you just have to ask for it.
The only quibbles I have are that the plates they gave us to go with the pizza were the same size as the appetizer plate they give you to eat with your bread. It's not that big of a deal but it would have been nice to get a normal sized plate to go with my entry... just saying.
Overall the service was good, the food was good, and it was very reasonably priced, so no complaints. -

I have been here on three different occassions and was pleasantly surprised by the experiences. First time was just sitting at the bar sipping a few cold ones with their pepperoni pizza which was very good. The other two visits were in the dining room where the steak tips were excellent. The swordfish was decent and the chicken parm was very good. Overall one of the better local spots.

I'm giving this restaurant the coveted 5 star. Why? The staff was over the top friendly, the food was excellent, and prices were well within my modest budget.
I am going to be quite the regular! -

Very good food, good service, good atmosphere. The decor doesn't make sense but it is in Everett so you can't have it all.

The 8/10 Bar & Grill is a hidden jewel. The atmosphere is that of a neighborhood bar and the food is outstanding. Portions are big, prices are affordable.
Diners can order anything from appetizers to sandwiches to meals that rival most Boston restaurants. Steaks are great, Italian dishes and seafood are top notch and the mashed potatoes are real!
The even have Mac & Cheese. Pizza is real pizza, not the cheese pies from other places. There is actually sauce on these pizzas.
Great menu and tasty specials. Your stomach and wallet will both thank you. -

I moved away from Everett but was growing nostaligic for the 8/10. How I miss you! I the veal. Unreal. This may sound insane but it's the best in Boston.

This place is awesome. A friend and I stumbled upon it one random Friday night while in search for something we couldn't describe. We found it. And, the best part, Sinatra sound-a-like Michael Dutra was there! Live entertainment on Friday nights (highly recommend Dutra) is a great addition to this place. But it was already amazing with the great food, huge portions, wonderful drinks, and friendly people! Huge thumbs up for the staff knowing my friend and I by name, remembering our drinks, and for Dutra singing Happy Birthday to me!

I can't believe this place is so close to my home & I never knew it was there. Great good, yummy wine and friendly service from Hope & John. Had the Chix Parma and didn't break the bank. Gotta check it out.

I recently stumbled upon 8/10 as I had driven by it a few times and was curious to check it out. I'm glad I did. The first time I had gone the bartender on that Thursday night was a sweetheart. I only went in there for a quick drink, to watch some of the celtics game. I was excited to try the food the next time, as the bartender had let me know what their specialties were. It was nice inside, 3 flat screens, they also have Keno which is cool. I just went their last weekend, with my friend and my nephew. The waitress was awesome, very nice and attentive. The steak tips were very good, and the portion was HUGE!!! It came with rice, and a choice of vegetable. My 3 year old nephew wanted meatballs, he wanted 4 LOL. The waitress told us it wasn't a good idea, as they make them really big and she wasn't lying! So we got 2 and they were delicious. Good flavor. We will be back again, I really want to try the chicken parm next time I heard it is amazing.

This is a real neighborhood bar and grill. I've been there for lunch several times. I eat at the bar, but there's table service and the place is very family friendly. They have no draft beer and only a few basic selections in bottles, but they have Sam Adams and that's enough for me.
The menu is pretty extensive as long as you like Italian and bar food. The pizza is really wonderful. It's sized for two to nosh on or one hungry person to devour. The hamburgers are average but tasty. The pastrami sandwich is very good quality and not fatty; as far as size goes, though, it's nowhere near Brooklyn proportions, but still reasonable. And the prices are more than reasonable.
Expect me to check-in there often! -

Thanks Yelpers. We found 8/10 on the iPhone app and it was great I'd highly recommend a visit. Friendly staff, great food and lots of it. Great value. Mash potatos and meatloaf was yummy. Chicken Masala was delicious. Split the wedge salad and it was perfect for two. Drinks were smaller than some of my favs similar to this place on the Northshore but no complaints here. Will visit again for sure and look forward to trying their burgers.

My fiancee and I have gone to this restaurant a few times to hear our friend Sharon Difronzo sing. We were pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was and how generous the portions were for a very reasonable price. On top of that the service was very friendly and quick and they don't mind you ordering dinner and then staying the whole night to watch hear the entertainment (our friend Sharon in this case). Very yummy rolls, mouth watering pizza and we shared this dessert, some kind of apple dish - one of the restaurant's signature dishes, that was just incredibly awesome!!! Highly recommend leaving room for this dessert you will not be disappointed.
