“Ordered large turkey sub toasted with lettuce, pickles, tomato and small salami with pickles and onions with Curley fries. Delicious!“

“The hubby wanted to take me to lunch for my upcoming birthday..for our age and for our wallet we always go to lunch vs dinner...we are now already home with the pups in our jammies..so great...now as a self proclaimed foodie, I have wanted to try the food at Alma Nove at the Hingham Shipyard for many years...I am also a huge Wahlbergers show fan...adored their mom Alma on the show and her pal Phyllis...the show is so much fun..binge it if you haven't seen it..anyway...the weather today didn't look too spectacular for a waterfront restaurant but the blue skies showed themselves as we were eating inside...such a terrific location..the shipyard has been revitalized in the last 15 years or so...lots of shopping and dining destinations including the original Wahlbergers Burger Joint...I love this stuff...Dave is like ok whatever...but our experience was lovely..I will say however that my husband and I don't quite fit in the Hingham vibe...and it has a vibe..no shade but it kind of carries an air about it...the people I mean...lol...but we ignored all that and for sure enjoyed lunch..even Dave said how delicious it all was...our server...nice..we typically enjoy banter with our servers...he wasn't about that...all business and he gave us excellent service..but I do have the sense that more than likely the staff has high hopes of gaining maybe a walk on role on Blood Bloods with Donnie or maybe a handshake from Marky Mark when he comes through from time to time...hope for them it happens..fingers crossed...😉..about the food...great bread..seemed homemade but simple..fresh..served with butter that had black specks on it..turns out it was a black salt..interesting..a few drafts for Dave from Mayflower Brewery in nearby Plymouth and I had a lovely Pinot Noir...bottled water on the table..big fan of that..I ordered the Pan Seared Shrimp and Scallops served over a sweet potato risotto , topped with haricot verts(fancy greenbeans), toasted marcona almonds and truffle honey and my date had the Butternut squash Tortellacci with pan seared chicken topped with sage brown butter sauce, pecorino romano, apple cider gastrique and fried sage and chives..wow..we are styling here in the Shipyard...every bite was spot on and a perfect serving for lunch..we enjoyed all of it..dessert..well.of course..they have an in house pastry chef so that's a given for me..chose the Banana Bourbon Bread Pudding..when he returned he also brought a small chocolate dessert..like cake in a jar with whipped cream and a candle...he said they heard someone was celebrating a bday...we never said it so all I can figure is I posted that we were there for my bday and had tagged the restaurant...great social media connection if that was the case...we shared them and they were fabulous...took some photos around the place..ran into folks the hubby knew from Hull..absolutely highly recommend Alma Nove..those that aren't familiar with the background. ..The famous Wahlberg Brothers Donnie and Mark have a brother Paul who is the chef and owner of Alma Nove..named for their precious mom Alma and Nove in Italian means nine..there were 9 Walhberg kids..5 stars from me for Alma Nove.. Open daily for lunch and dinner. .I believe they have live music on Sundays and in the nice weather their outside patio overlooks Hingham Bay...a must try❤️ Mark has famously said their brother Paul is the most talented in the family...I believe that is spot on...“

“Amazing day @Novara for lunch !“

“Delicious menu items.. the pear salad is delicious and a fabulous starter to share. I had the swordfish over the lobster succotash and it was fantastic.. the succotash alone would be a delight! Highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back. We ended with the flourless chocolate cake and it was perfect“

“Fantastic food and staff. Highly recommend!“

“Always amazing food and service!!!“

“This place is excellent and very happy to have it in my town. Very clean and well organized store at affordable prices. Every product in this store is of high quality.i always get the Sicilian pizza slices and a fresh loaf of Scala bread. The cold cuts and homemade Italian sausage and subs made to order are all excellent. Try the meat sauce . Alfredo’s is a winner“

“La Stalla hosted a 50th wedding anniversary dinner for my parents for 50 people in June 2025. Michaela the event coordinator was fantastic and accommodating. We went with the buffet and the meatballs, arancini, chicken parm, haddock, and steak tips were excellent. The deserts of gelato and tiramisu were also fantastic. Everyone commented on how good the food was. The servers were extra accommodating in allowing me to use the television for a slide show. We even stayed past the planned time and the staff let us enjoy each other's company. I couldn't be happier with how the event went and will be coming in for dinner soon! - Sam T“

“Second time. Great food. Great flavors. Great atmosphere. Cooked beautifully. Our server, Liz, excellent! She was friendly, attentive to detail, knowledgeable . La Familia doesn't even come close across the board. poor quality food and poor service.“

“The food, the atmosphere and the service!! You cannot go wrong with this place! Felt like we were eating with family! Food was fantastic and the service was wonderful! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Can’t talk this place up enough amazing old school authentic Italian and a very warm environment whether your looking for a nice cup of coffee or a chicken parm sangy the workers over here always do it right. Killer Sicilian pizza as well!“

“Pleasant atmosphere, great food, upstairs deck for outside dining, social distancing and great services.“

“Good food, friendly staff, affordable for lunch and catering“

“I finally tried here last night and was not disappointed! I'm always hesitant to try new places as we are picky, (especially with Italian food) but everything was great! The place was so chic and beautiful. the apps, drinks, dinner, and dessert were all delicious. our waiter was beyond friendly and attentive. we will definitely be back!“

“Our high school sports team hosted an end of season banquet at Tutto Bene yesterday – and it was wonderful! The owner and his team could not have been more accommodating. The buffet options were delicious and they also handled two special diet requests. The private room is pretty and can hold up to 60. It was very comfortable for our group of 30 and 30 display area. Although we brought in our own floral arrangements, they had many life-like silk flower arrangements already available in the room.“

“Love this place….great food and service!“

“This has to be the South Shore's best kept secret! My wife and I were looking to grab a quick meal the other day and stopped by Cannoli's on Whitman's Pond. I've been to the restaurant several time for various functions, but never for dinner. Vinny was wonderful - just the right attention - no hovering, but there when we needed anything. My wife had the chicken piccata and I had chicken marsala. Both were incredible! Plus, it's affordable - around $65 for the two of us (including two glasses of wine!) This will definitely become one of our go to places!“

“We stopped by with our whole family after a long day in town. Popped off the ferry and stopped by for dinner. The food was fantastic - came out quickly, was flavorful, and good portions. The kids meals were a hit, and the messes were a highlight!

But the service was worth its own review. The two young ladies manning the bar and the counter were working at double time, filling orders, getting waters, pouring beer. It was a great experience, the patio was great for the kids, and we’ll definitely be coming back!!“

“First time here and food was fantastic! I got the eggplant parm and it was delicious! Generous portion that I had plenty to take home. Bartender/manager Brian was outstanding and so friendly. Can’t wait to go back!“

“First time visiting & very impressed. Food was delicious, good size portions. wait staff very friendly & attentive. A great place to dine that doesn't break your wallet!“

“My husband and I stopped there for lunch while our dog was being groomed. We ordered sandwiches and my husband started to feel lightheaded. We were served and it had to ask for the check and take out containers. Our waitress was an angel from god. She brought the takeout containers and the check and also a bottle of cold water, an empty bag and extra napkins in case he was sick on our way home. We didn’t even get a chance to eat our food. She could be given something for her heartfelt concern which I feel was over and above. She is at the Abington restrained her name is Mary. God bless and keep you safe Mary!“

“A little taste of Italy! Everything was on point 100% from the drinks to the dessert. Espresso martini was the best EVER, the bolognese was the BEST EVER! The chocolate lava cake and gelato was by far the best I’ve ever had! Service, staff atmosphere was all amazing! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I got the rancho wrap and it was awesome!! Can you say addicted.. 😍“

“Great food great service the owner is very nice and friendly smiles all the time , chicken fingers is so delicious ,I order Sara's calzone all the time 💗“

“First time at Mario’s Trattoria in North Easton and I was blown away! The guy who helped me was awesome super friendly, great attitude, and made an amazing steak & cheese. I asked for a certain sauce they didn’t have, and instead of saying no, he actually made it from scratch and even had me try it before putting it on my sandwich. That’s next-level customer service! Definitely coming back 👏🔥“

“My first time ordering from them. The food was good, bacon cheeseburger and fries. On the website it says that you will get fries and coleslaw with any order, but when I got it there was no slaw. I called and the person on the line was very condescending, as if I was lying to get some free slaw. Long story short what I ordered was good, the fries were delicious and the burger hit the right spot. But didn't appreciate not getting what I was promised and treated like a looney when I ask for it.“

“From the Hostess to the Servers, staff was pleasant and professional. The food was exceptional!“

“Awesome portions“

“I just had the most amazing grilled octopus ever!!!!! Tania makes the best espresso martini I've ever had!!! This is my new favorite place.“

“This restaurant has been closed since the pandemic. Don’t know how people are reviewing it this year. Particularly the ones with a photo?“

“All around great I would definitely take my wife there again“

“Excellent service and delicious food. They were super accommodating allergies and the gluten free ricotta and gluten free cheese focaccia were delicious. They were unfortunately out of pizza but I’ll just have to try it next time! It’s nice to have another allergy friendly restaurant in Quincy.

Dietary restrictions: Extremely accommodating to wheat allergies and gluten free needs and other allergies.“

“I usually don’t like reviews but I just had to this evening I called in the order and used for about to close in a few minutes but you still took my otter and I thought that the food wouldn’t be as good as it generally is that it would be called something would be wrong But I’m telling you I still give you a five star and I wish I would’ve left more of a tip the food meaning I added stuffed haddock with mashed potatoes and broccoli and everything is still fresh and hot I love you guys thank you so much for a perfect meal ??“

“Went for dinner with a couple of friends. Our server, Julio, was nothing short of amazing! We've been asking for Julio every since, about 3.5 years now! He's just the best, will give honest opinions if you're not able to decide on food, very fast service, and the managers go around to make sure everyone is happy. Great place, great food!“

“How special and rich is everything“

“Incredible pizza! Great eggplant Parm. The Short ribs are amazing. Plus the staff are super attentive and friendly. Love this place!“

“Caterered luncheon from The Italian Kitchen. Everything was delicious as always! Want to give a shout out to Amanda. She was a huge help with setting this up!“

“Beautiful to see the sunsets while dining outdoors! Seared Scallops over sweet corn risotto was perfect!“

“Went with my daughter to celebrate birthdays during November. The Christmas display was so beautiful, it was such a fun way to kick off the Christmas Season!! We were seated right away, our Server was fantastic, she checked in frequently making sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, we had the Chicken Marsala and the Chicken Parm, and a couple Espresso Martinis. It was a wonderful evening!!“

“We asked for a roomy both in a quiet area, and we actually got one! The 3-4:00 early Sat. specials were very good, except for the chicken Parmesan. It was a bit overdone. Our young waiter was prompt but a little on the green side. We would definitely go here again, especially for the early specials.“

“We had our son’s baptism lunch today and the food and service were excellent! Communication on selecting the menu before the event was clear and efficient. The customized printed menus were a nice touch to have as a keepsake. Our waitress handled our private group plus some tables of other diners with ease (she was a real pro). We will definitely be back and recommend Sorelle to others for their functions!“

“We order atleast 3 sometimes 4 times a week food ALWAYS PLEASED with the order Fast Delivery and Pleasant Friendly taking orders on the phone. Our Favorite Place ❤❤ THANK YOU !!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ high recommended The best pizza in town“

“I stopped on my way home for a couple of pizzas and an appetizer. As usual, they got our special order pizza right and done perfectly. We have been many times to this Bertucci's and have always been satisfied with either dine in or carry out. The staff is always accommodating and pleasant. We will be back!!“

“So nice not to have to go to the North Shore for amazing roast beef!! Thank you!“

“I stopped by this Italian deli and ordered an Italian sub. It was really good — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. That said, it was a little different than what I expected. Instead of the traditional lettuce, tomato, (sometimes banana peppers) and oil, it came with chopped tomatoes, white onion, and pickles. Not quite the Italian grinder I grew up eating, but still delicious in its own way. Overall, I’d give it a solid 7 out of 10 — mostly because I can’t help but compare it to the classic version I’m used to. Definitely worth a try if you’re open to a unique take on a classic!“
