Yella in Andover. Every detail adds to the addictive romantic atmosphere of this restaurant. The delicate decorations and captivating photos, the refreshing simplicity of their table setting, amazing and unique wine selection, calm demeanor of the servers, sensual meals. You get lost in here and really feel like the Mediterranean is outside the window. It honestly blew me away- I go there almost every week!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of stopping into Yella: A Modern Mediterranean Grille for dinner. Chef Carlo’s beautifully prepared dishes represent the best in Mediterranean Cuisine and only added to an already magnificant experience. We appreciated not only the personality of the service but the wonderful ambiance that Yella was able to provide. Beyond the delicious food, Yella is a beautifully romantic experience that I would recommend to anyone! Thank you Yella!
