“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 !“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“Johnny Macs is a very good restaurant their food is awesome portions are big and the staff is very nice. The one thing I do say is that it’s a little on the pricey side but that’s ok in my book because you’re paying for the quality. 🍝“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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 💗“

“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.“

“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.. 😍“

“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.“

“I used to live in Easton, and could have my gorgonzola pizza all the time. I am jealous of anyone who gets the pleasure to have this unique and wonderful pizza. When my dad was sick and couldn't eat due to his appetite, I bought him this pizza to try. He suddenly found his appetite and ate like a champ. Please send me one to NC.?“

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

“I’m from the NJ/NY area but have lived in MA for a few years. Other than 1 other place. I can’t find any good pizza.Recently I’ve gone to Comella’s’ a few times on my lunch break. They sell Sicilian pizza by the slice and it’s really good. The place has a cool look , has a bar area and everyone there is always very friendly. I recently tried their regular pizza, not Sicilian. And it was amazingly good. It’s probably the best pizza I’ve had in this area in over eight years. I will definitely be ordering that again.

Parking: Always plenty of free parking.“

“Delicious food and excellent service by Elyssa! Will be back!“

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

“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.“

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

“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 ??“

“Awesome portions“

“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 !!“

“Wow is all I can say but I will definitely fill you all in a bit more. So we made reservations for 6:30 and we were a little late. I know places that would not be happy about that and would give you a hard time and we weren't all together but they still sat us no problem at all. My family and I all order my wife the surf and turf and she loved everything about it my sister in law did a Chicken dish my daughter did Chicken Ziti and Broccoli her boyfriend did the Chicken special dish. I order a Prime Rib medium when it came to the table it was definitely not medium but it was late in the day so I didn't say anything and went along eating I took a few bites and said to my wife that mine wasn't the best but I said nothing to Jenn our waitress. She came over and said you asked for Medium and that is definitely not Medium. I said it was really okay no big deal. She was so super nice and said no no not at all she asked to take it and asked if If she could get me something else. Unfortunately I had a taste for that Prime Rib so nothing was going to work they took the Rib off and coveree desert. I put 5 Stars for the meal because everyone loved what they all got. Honestly the rib wasn't horrible it just was over cooked for me but the service made up for that one steak the service from Jenn and the Manager made that steak taste 10 Times better and the personality and interaction was just way over the top amazing. We live on the North Shore and went here because my daughters Boyfriend lives on the South Shore. I tell you this for sure we will be back again and it definitely helps that we had Jenn for our waitress. I probably wouldn't be able to pick her out of a crowd but her personality and care of me and my family will be something we won't forget for a long while. Whoever needs to know this see this or read this you need to keep her at whatever you need to do. Party of 5 Burke thank you for your service tonight“

“Old school Italian deli in Weymouth fresh made Italian food. Love the subs and homemade potato salad. Must try if in area. Service is always with a smile ?

Parking: Small location but service is fast and parking spots open quickly. All take out so quick turnaround.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Excellent food. Excellent specials. Caprese salad so fresh. All of the salads are a meal in themselves. Best chicken parm. Best chicken Marsala. Steak tips so tender with garlic mashed and sautéed spinach. Bartenders are so friendly and fun. Wait staff are awesome. Get there early. Fills up fast! Tommy and Mollie. Joe and Lori are greatest bartenders. Jocelyn and Jess and Paola are best waitresses“

“I had a salad, and my daughter had a burger and fries. I feel like you can't really mess up a salad, but you can mess up fries. That's what happened to my daughter's meal.

We ordered for pickup and when it was time to eat. My toddler struggled to eat the fries, they were so overcooked and hard for her to chew.

Everything else was good, though. I just assumed we caught the line cooks on a bad day. But... Who knows?“
