and 10 stars are not an option because? Every aspect of the dining experience~ tranquil seaside setting, tasteful decor, friendly attentive and caring staff.. oh the food? A-mazing .. lobster sliders and a glass of wine, seared scallops with butternut risotto to the avo enhanced turkey burger.. mouth watering and delicious.. and we just stopped by for lunch!! Must return for dinner!! Highly recommend!! read more

My first time dining here. Wonderful outdoor seating with amazing views of the water and the boats, very serene. We began with the octopus appetizer absolutely delicious. Grilled to perfection. I had the basil linguine with lobster it was so delicious The only thing left on my plate was plate. I would go back again just for that dish. My dining companion had the chicken breast Bell & Evans enjoyed it very much. We also added the lobster truffled mashed potatoes they were delicious everything was delicious. the only issue I had was with our wait person. She was not very attentive in my opinion made us wait a little too long for our drinks and it was not that busy otherwise a five-star experience I will go back to Alma Nove. read more

Amazing food! Best GF options I've seen in so long! Very clean and made you feel rich and elite!

One of my favorite restaurants, I cannot say enough about the chef and superior quality and taste of the food. Literally everything I have eaten there has been amazing. It's a beautiful place, elegant without being stuffy and incredible service. Located in a great location with plenty of parking, make sure you put this on your to-do list. read more

My husband and I went to Alma Nove's last night for our anniversary. This isn't the first time we've been there. The atmosphere is always pleasant and the people that work there are very professional and treat you like one of the family. The food was phenomenal. We both had the Basil Linguini and it was so good that we couldn't finish and took it home.When we were done, our waiter Tony brought us over a small treat for our Anniversary which I very thoughtful and unexpected. Paul came over and remembered who we were and had a nice conversation with us. It was very nice to see him again. Would we go there again, ABSOLUTELY!!!!. Best Food, Best Waitstaff. If I could give this place 20 stars I would. Thank you to Paul and the staff for making our Anniversary a very special night. read more

Have eaten here 6 times since it opened. Three very good meals and three poor ones. There is no way that a restaurant that wants to present itself as upper shelf can bat .500 on meals for what they charge. Didn't want to write a review and be biased by the celebrity standing of it either way. We waited, took our time, hoped for consistency, and just gave up. To bad. read more

We had the most delightful lunch at Alma Nove yesterday. We sat on the patio, overlooking the boats in the marina, where the atmosphere was lovely. Our server Emma and other staff were so attentive and a pleasure to talk to, and the food was delicious. I started with the Pomegranate Elyxer Spritzer, which was quite yummy, and then ordered the soup and sandwich of the day -- a pork sandwich, panini-style, and a tomato-based soup that paired extremely well. And my husband had the Mosaic of Swordfish, which was so good that he turned to me and said we need to have swordfish more often. A lovely lunch from beginning to end -- can't wait to go back. read more

We came here after some shopping in the shipyard area. Having checked out the burger joint and the sports bar next door, we wanted a place where we could actually have a nice meal without having to yell across the table to each other. I can say that walking in there wearing shorts and a t-shirt felt a little strange, but the staff was more than welcoming and sat us right away. The other reviews are correct in saying that the atmosphere is a little stuffy - Most of the clientele seem like new money looking for validation. Like the kind of women who put on six pounds of makeup before heading out for a day of boating. I ordered the special, which was hake over lobster risotto. Everything was seasoned properly, but I will probably never order hake again. I had never tried it before and it just wasn't my thing. The lobster risotto? I could eat that by the friggin bucket. It had huge chunks of lobster in that creamy goodness - As I write this my mouth is watering. I also ordered a side of the grilled asparagus. They're huge. I have never seen asparagus so big. I mean you really have to check them out - the asparagus alone is worth the trip. My boyfriend ordered the duck with fig port reduction also over risotto. It had a nice balance of salty and sweet. It was a beautiful dish that I could not help but sample. I tasted something familiar and asked the waitress (Mary Z) if there were cherries cooked into the reduction - I am allergic. She rushed to the kitchen to find out the ingredients and was told to instruct me to not touch it anymore. She then offered me Benadryl and kept checking on my throughout our evening. It turns out I was totally fine and didn't need anything after that little taste, but I was really impressed with how she took care of us. She is really sweet and I would go there again even if the food sucked to be served by her again. Luckily, the food doesn't suck. Last up we split the carrot cake. If you like carrot cake, it would be a serious crime to not try this. The pastry chef nailed it here. It was a perfect consistency and the whipped frosting wasn't too sweet (which you often find with most carrot cakes.) The food was good, the service was great. I'll definitely be coming back for seconds. read more

Maybe service is better on the weekends?? Just a thought, don't mock your bar guests when they order a coffee and you bring it out cold. We also got two desserts and an espresso martini. We probably would have ordered more had we not felt like we were such an inconvenience to the bartenders. Not impressed. read more

Fantastic location and great ambiance. Beautifully classic interior with large bar area and outside patio seating. Although it has an upscale vibe, we came in dressed casually from a long day of driving and didn't feel out of place. Everyone from the hostess to the bus boy was friendly. Extensive wine, beer and cocktail list. Food was good, but not as great as we were expecting. The buratta on the caprese salad was flavorful but probably could have benefited from a balsamic vinegar drizzle. I had the wild mushroom gnocchi and while the gnocchi itself was delicious, it was very, very heavy on the mushrooms. I could only take a few bites and I am an avid mushroom lover. My husband had the bolognese pasta and while the flavors were good, it was a little dry. The was no shortage of meat but it could have used more liquid in the sauce. The chocolate mouse cake was delicious and we added a scoop of house made pistachio gelato which was one of the better that I've had. We'd definitely go back but maybe order a little differently next time. read more

Alma Nove is my all-time favorite restaurant in the Hingham area. One reason is the delicious food created by Chef Paul Wahlberg and his team. The second reason is the ambiance. It's just a really cool place to go to and enjoy the energy that fills the dining room and bar. Finally, the service from the moment you walk in. The staff always makes me feel welcome. Enjoy!

Came here on a Monday for lunch. Beautiful decor inside and friendly hostess. I had the mussels which were awesome. Probably some of the best I have had. The coconut curry sauce makes this dish. My husband and I both had Caesar salads and salmon dish. Service was slow and it took a long time for our food to come out. Luckily we both had day off an we were not in a rush. Pleasant experience overall. read more

It was my first time at Alma Nove yesterday. I was very impressed by this restaurant. From the location and atmosphere to the exquisite taste and presentation of the food. Located in a beautiful location... yacht boats docked up front... overlooking water... just so absolutely romantic and would be perfect for a nice family meal or girls night out as well. The menu was set up traditional Italian style... very classy. The wine and fun drinks list was more than i expected. Wish i could've had a few drinks... I had the Caesar salad and i'm always on the hunt for a good Casear salad. Most people don't make it correctly - however Alma Nove perfected it just right! I loved it! The main dish i got was a special for the day a Halibut with lobster risotto in lobster a cream sauce. Scrumptious! I'll definitely go back if i'm in the area. read more

My husband and I love Alma Nove. We go for all special occasions and when we have family come to visit, that is always the restaurant they want to go to. Every time we go, I always get the bolognaise because it is that good. And it's always nice to walk around the Shipyard after a meal! read more

Food is good and service great. Manager Sandra very rude. Asked waiter if we had time to order dessert, assured us we had been at the restaurant 1:03 minutes. Ordered dessert and the manager came to the table to say our time was up and never asked how our dinner was. Spent $327. And left the restaurant feeling upset and annoyed. Very sorry we went for dinner. I would avoid this restaurant go to Tosca far more gracious and just as COVID aware. read more

We were so pleased with Alma Nove's Thanksgiving dinner for 4 which we picked up the day before the holiday. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. The cranberry and orange sauce was delicious along with everything else. The reheat directions were very clear and explicit. The pumpkin pie (which didn't last long) was the perfect ending to a delicious and delightful meal. Thank you for making our Thanksgiving a happy one! read more

If you are looking for a special night out I highly recommend Alma Nove. My husband and I were celebrating our 5 year anniversary and after the original restaurant we had made reservations at unexpectedly had to close, we called Alma Nove. Although they initially told us they were booked and could not squeeze us in, they then called us back two minutes later to tell us that someone had cancelled and they were able to fit us in. They went above and beyond and made our night incredibly special. The drinks, food and service were all top notch. I got the bolognese and he got the seafood pasta dish. The sunset view was beautiful. It was a perfect night that we will never forget. Thank you to all at Alma Nove!! We will be back soon for another special meal. read more

Stopped in for lunch and everything about the experience from the hostess to the waitress to the food was underwhelming. Maybe they don't have their a game staff on during lunch hours but for what they are charging I expected a lot more. I won't be back. read more

I ordered the duck macaroni and cheese and it was divine. Baked in a little dish with breadcrumbs on top, it had the perfect texture; the duck was a nice little decadent addition to the already rich and creamy mac and cheese. This tasted even better the next day, too. The ambiance of this place is dim and classy; the fire pits outside added a nice warm glow too. I would definitely come back despite the high prices. Worth it! read more

I have had mixed experiences. First of all, it is an absolutely lovely location on the waterfront and so terrific to sit outside on nice evenings. It is why we come back here on occasion. The food is pretty good and tasty. I did have a bad experience after having their mussels a few years back. I agree with Ted O's review from 3/25 on shellfish. Quality is hit or miss. I was willing to forgive and come back today since it was so nice out. My main complaint is with service. The waiter accidentally knocked my half full glass of wine off the table and it broke and soaked him with wine. It happens....it was cleaned up. My coworker and I were appalled because there was no apology nor a replacement glass of wine. The accident was his error not ours. Plus, he charged us for the wine. I asked him about it and he then took it off our bill. Seriously? I have to ask? Thumbs down Alma Nove management.....your service needs some attention! read more

Recently went to Alma Nove for my 23rd Wedding Anniversary. It was our third time dining here and have had very good experiences in the past. The food was again very good to excellent! Unfortunately, the service ultimately ruined our evening. Although it was slightly busy, we sat for far too long in between our apps and main. The worst thing being that when our main came out we had no silverware and had to wait over 5 minutes to finally get some! For the coup de grace... in many, many years of making reservations for a celebration dinner, EVERY single restaurant has brought out something special as an acknowledgement of the occasion. An amuse bouche or a dessert. Not here. Not this night. In the current atmosphere of Covid-19, restaurants are fighting for our business and to stay alive. This was certainly no way to convince me to return any time soon. read more

I've been here many times and will likely return. Great bar, great bartenders and great service. This was ruined today by an unacceptable breach in the kitchen. I ordered a plate of oysters. At $3 per, they should be impeccable. Nope. At least one was inedible, pallid and shrunk beyond recognition. Several others were dry as if they were previously shucked and left for service. The chef was here today, he's great, but should check what is being served. read more

We had been wanting to come here for some times. We made a reservation in advance and I was hoping to be seated by a window facing the water. Unfortunately, we were right next to the hostess stand which is the only reason I have given 4 stars. It wasn't the best placement for a table, but we still enjoyed our meal. Our waitress, Riley, was very friendly. She brought us bread which we received two kinds one of which almost had a cornbread texture with cheese. The pepper butter added the right touch and it tasted so good as a combination. We couldn't decide between ordering the calamari, meatballs or lobster mashed potatoes and ultimately went with the lobster mashed potatoes. They didn't disappoint. It was the perfect lobster to mashed potato ratio. The lobster was great and the mixture with the buttery potatoes made it taste even better. We also ordered two pasta dishes. The first one we ordered was the Baked Rigatoni. It came out very hot so we did have to wait for it to cool down. But better hot than cold! Once it cooled down it tasted amazing! I would 100% get it again. Riley was also super helpful when we were trying to figure out the other pasta dish. We were debating between the Homemade Gnocci and the Homemade Tagliatelle. She recommended the gnocchi and boy was the good. The mushrooms tasted amazing alongside the gnocci. We also couldn't end our meal without dessert so we did order the chocolate mousse layer cake. It was very delicious and rich. I definitely need to come back in the summer for brunch! I'll be back and if you've never been, you should go! The area is pretty cute too! read more

I enjoyed a very nice dinner with my mother at Alma Nova. I heard about it from the food network, and I'd always wanted to try it. Overall, my experience at the restaurant was very pleasant. Amanda M was my server and she was absolutely delightful and always attentive! To start I had the Double Cosmo and my mom had the Why Not punch - deff recommend both drinks! My drink was sweet and flavorful- not too strong. The why not punch was almost a twist from a Mai Tai. We also started with the calamari which is very different. It was cooked with potatoe batter. The appetizer was good, nothing to boast about. I did like the creativity however. We then had the soup of the day which was a tomato and Gorgonzola soup. One word: Amazing!! So fresh and so flavorful!! The blend of creamy blue cheese and tomatoes was beyond words. It was served right away so the temperature was just right. My mom liked it too and she's a tough critic to please. read more

Got the Grilled eggplant, prosciutto sandwich. My bread was burnt. It was black, it had half of slice prosciutto and soggy eggplant. Went back again and got pasta dish , cold and sauce was horrible. Was Tangy and inedible. Sorry, I'm being honest. I will not go back again. I really like the family and want to help them succeed . Instead of opening all these new restaurants, fix the issues with your 2 startups. read more

Went to Alma Nove tonight while waiting for a table at Wahlburgers to celebrate my 50th bday. The hostess Barbara was the nicest!!! After learning I was a fan of the show, Barbara came across the street to give me a handwritten note from Alma and Paul. So sad I didn't meet them today, however, Barbara went above and beyond to make my visit special. The bartenders weren't super nice but the customers we sat with at the bar were regulars and super nice. read more

Four of us had dinner here the other evening and everything was terrific. It's a very inviting and comfortable setting, our server was really very nice and took care of us without hovering or being intrusive. Our meals were very enjoyable; I had the duck confit for an appetizer and it was incredible. My entree was the chicken w/ whipped potatoes and mustard sauce...again, excellent. I ordered the limoncello cheesecake for dessert and by the time I finished it I was in a food coma. Everything was really very good. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. Thanks for providing a wonderful evening. read more

Ate at Alme Nova tonight and it was good, but could have been better. Service was limited, waiting an hour for our entree. The shrimp and scallops was minimal for $32.00. Two of each. Gnocchi was good. I recall they have better in the past. Maybe a bad night, but I would reevaluate the price on shrimp and scallop dish. read more

My wife and I were in Massachusetts in September and chose Alma Nove to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The pending arrival of Hurricane Jose precluded outdoor dining so we dined inside on a Sunday evening. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the hostess sat us in a booth, which was our preference. We ordered a bottle of Five Vinters Sauvignon Blanc, the Seasonal Caprese Salad and Cod Cakes as appetizers with the Wood-Grilled Swordfish and Garganelli as entrees. The cod cakes were moist, flavorful and crispy on the outside without the breading of most cod and crabcakes. The heirloom tomatoes were juicy and perfectly ripe and the burrata was a pleasant change from plain mozzarella cheese. The swordfish was prepared PERFECTLY and the squash risotto and roasted pepperonata was excellent. The garganelli was fresh and the Bolognese was tasty, seasoned nicely and rich from the mascarpone cheese. We ended the meal with the chocolate layer cake and cappucchinos. I have to be forthcoming and say that my wife and I are both BIG fans of "Walhburgers" and Chef Paul, in particular. But while that aided in choosing Alma Nove, it was the service, atmosphere and the food that will bring us back. read more

So we went back. First of all thank you to the restaurant who sent a gift card to encourage us to go back. I was tempted to donate the card to a local charity but decided to give them a try once seating was available. After all, the first experience could have been because of using Door Dash (don't get me started) So a lovely evening, sitting outside. Initial service was slow....took them a while to bring water and ask us if we wanted drinks. So slow that by them time waitress showed up we had figured out what we wanted. So we ordered. Bread came (good) with infused olive oil. Not my favorite but nice. The water was warm. No ice, had obviously been poured into bottle and then sat. Had to ask for ice. I had caprese salad. The burrata was tasty but the tomatoes a bit mealy. Probably too early for good fresh ones. Hubby had chopped salad which was basic but nice. We both had grilled octopus (love me some good octopus). Mine was salty but grilled correctly. His was less salty. Didn't have dessert (we're not really desserts people). I had glass of wine (nice). The bill seemed high for the quality but I guess you're paying for the view. Glad we tried again but still no interest on returning. A bit pricey for the quality. read more

This is one of the nicest restaurants in the greater Boston area. I recently brought my sister from LA to Alma Nove for a late lunch and she thought it was one of the top places she had ever been to and she dines out a lot in West LA, Beverly Hills, and Pasadena. The New England clam chowder was just next level excellent with unique flavors. My sister ordered the fish and chips and she loved it. They have a top notch wine list and an interesting menu with great variety. The view of the harbor and boats with late afternoon sunlight was beautiful. We also very much appreciated chatting with the manager, Fred Pahl, who gave us some great tips on sightseeing in Boston. The bartender and wait staff were also kind and attentive. Highly recommend! read more

I'm dreaming about my visits to Alma Nove a few days ago .My family and I visited last Saturday 9/12 and the food was prepared so well that we went back again on Sunday and had the same thing !!!! We were seated outside both times. The landscaping and veiws were wonderfull.On Saturday there was a lot of social bustle but the staff did a really good job spacing tables and seats. We did not feel crowded and felt socially safe during our visits. We couldn't decide what we wanted so we shared everything. Our waitress, tall blonde woman, was very accommodating with this request. My daughter adored the Cesar salad as did I. My entree consisted of salmon with a fresh vegetable and barley succotash. The fish was cooked perfectly and paired exceptionally well with the creamy succotash. Hubby had the duck breast cooked medium with the port espresso chocolate reduction. The crispy parts of the duck combined with the berries and sauce were absolutely decadent. Our daughter had the buttermilk chicken with potato caramelly onion and corn mixture drizzled with pan sauce, very moist and flavorful. We wanted the check but the waitress asked if we were sure we didn't want anything else. We all split a choclate cake which was 3 different types of choclate!! Perfect finish to an excellent meal. It was nice to feel welcome not rushed to leave like most places during the weekend. The hubby and I agree that this was a wonderfull way to relax and unwind after a very long week. read more
