Service and ambiance is always lovely. The food has been great every time we've come, but the Careese salad with the local burrata is one of the best salads I've ever had. I'd eat it every day if I could haha. read more

If I could give them 6 stars I would. Antonio, the chef prepared our dishes and took the time to explain what they were with the passion I am sure he put into the preparation. Food was all locally sourced and he explained that many items were made from scratch. He mentioned on a typical day, the preparation fo rdinner would start 5 hours before. Alma is not to be overlooked if you looking for good quality food at a reasonable price. The setting on the harbor makes for a long savorey experience. Bravo! read more

Not the same good food quality as years ago. ! Made a party of 4 sit at the bar when both entire restaurant or bar was empty ! 3 tables by window never had anyone at them ! Poor management as well - no one ever stopped by to see how the food or service was going ! So many better choices around ! time to renovate and reinvent a new concept/ menu it has run its course ! read more

We were in from Maryland to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The restaurant is extremely clean and very well kept. The service and staff were top notch and went out of their way to make the evening perfect. The food was absolutely to die for. If there was as a way to rate this experience higher than 5 I would do so. The night couldn't have possibly been any better and for that we say thank you. read more

This restaurant has been on my radar for sometime now but living on the north shore of Boston now had to wait for a visit back to the south shore.we came for lunch and were not really impressed with the meal. Beautiful room,friendly staff and food that didn't live up to the price Mediterranean chopped salad was not very big for 13.5$ and 3 small scallops as a add on for 16$ soo..for 30 dollars I wanted to go get a wahlburger across the street! Chicken Milanese sandwich was very pedestrian with sage aioli that just tasted like Mayo and under seasoned in general. hoping there dinner service is a step up read more

I eat at Alma Nove several times a month. Tonight I went with a friend and there were tables out on the patio empty and when I went to the front desk, they were extremely rude and even though they were empty table saver told me I would have to wait 10 to 15 minutes, I've never experienced having the reception folks. Be so rude. we just left and now I have a sour taste in my mouth about that restaurant read more

Outstanding restaurant, the food was excellent, and the service was just as good the ambiance is a top ten restaurant a must for any occasion! read more

Great customer service, front and back end. We always get the same table when we reserve. The specials are always rotating and delicious. My partner and I have tried pretty much everything on the menu and the food never disappoints. Will always recommend for great Italian. ‍ read more

Everything was amazing! We ordered the truffle fries as an appetizer and it was loved by the whole table! The short rib and swordfish were somewhat small but the Pork was the best I've ever had and I don't even like pork chops. read more

Absolutely wonderful experience here tonight, especially because of our amazing server. The food was overall delicious, probably about an 8 out of 10. To keep it short I'll cut to the chase: you must try the butternut squash tortellacci, the sage brown butter is great. The octopus was also delicious, especially with the garlic lemon aioli, but the pieces of meat were a bit sparse. The meatballs, while also perfectly cooked, were a little small for the price (three ~1" balls), and the cold cheese around it was a bit odd. I wish it had come with more of the grilled bread, which was delicious and would have been great for the cheese. For mains, we had the sirloin, swordfish, and short rib. The sirloin was lean, but could have had a bit more salt. The swordfish was quite nice, a bit like a salmon, and the risotto and tapenade were very garlicky (not in a bad way at all). In fact, that shrimp risotto was definitely one of my favorite parts of the entire meal. The short rib was ok, a little overdone but very tender still. For dessert, we had the apple bread pudding, which was solid and definitely a good choice (the maple crunch is a great addition). Overall, it was a very nice meal, though some dishes I found to be overpriced for the serving size, while others were entirely reasonable. You are most likely paying for the Wahlberg name here, but it definitely lived up to expectations, and apparently Paul is usually in the kitchen too so it's not one of those Vegas-celebrity-chef-tourist-traps. It is funny that his brothers opened a Wahlburgers literally across the corner, though. If you're looking for a romantic Italian-Mediterranean night out, this is definitely a viable option on the South Shore. read more

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... read more

Got to Alma Nove around 1130 this morning. Just wanted to grab a drink. Website said it opened at 11am. Well much to our surprise, Paul himself opened the door and greeted us. He said they weren't open till noon but come on in even though we were early. True Dorchester businessman. You don't turn away any customers. Drinks were great and we even had the meatball appy. Great customer service. One of my favorite restaurants!!!!!! read more

This spot is SO covid safe. If you really want to go out for a bite to eat but are nervous about covid this place is perfect. On the phone they asked about any exposure and when we got there they explained all the safety precautions. We got the seasonal caprese and burger for a meal and I got the blue berry martini as a drink. It was delicious and not too sweet which I loved. They even brought out a complimentary desert for my birthday. read more

I wish they were aware that just because you create a look that gives the impression the restaurant is high quality, doesn't mean it magically happens. It's a place that feels like the chef/owner is doing some kind of fancy restaurant cosplay. Had been before and only there because it was a family birthday. My dish didn't taste bad, but only because there was no flavor. And finding the seafood in my dish was a needle in the haystack situation. read more

The food was quality and experience phenomenal. I drove to Alma Nove directly from airport while in town on business. I would like to recognize Donnie the bartender who assisted me with info about Wahlburger owned restaurant and was very professional. Unfortunately I could not make a Tuesday Night dinner event Donnie made me aware of but the friendliness was on point. I heard of this restaurant watching Wahlburgers and wanted to see what the restaurant was about. Met expectations. Hopefully I could meet Paul next time I'm in town. Thanks again Donnie the bartender for great lunch. read more

Everything was going fine, until I got a shard of really hard plastic or something in my salad. A nice place to sit outside for lunch read more

We ordered a few appetizers. The food is average in my opinion, given the higher prices. Presentation was nice. The ambiance is nice as well. The service was pleasant, attentive and quick. They had tables and heat lamps set up outside but were not using them. They weren't seating people outside. There were a few people at the bar, which were separated by partitions. There was almost no one at the tables initially but a few people came in towards the end and they were seated in the same area. Would have felt more comfortable if they sat people further apart since there were plenty of open tables. They took our name upon entry, for contact tracing purposes. read more

My original experience with Alma Nove was a lackluster lunch, spiffing a caprese salad on a dry turkey sandwich that had me legitimately avoiding a return visit. Then I stopped in for drinks, and found myself eyeballing passed plates with aplomb. So, it was time to give it a fair shot at a proper dinner. So, so glad I did. The bar is appropriately sceney, catering to Hingham Shipyard regulars, families and large groups alike. Food caters to a seafood-forward Italian (duh) cuisine, and sharing a few starters with cocktails at a near-bar hightop makes for a great date. Views are delightful, and the approachable elegance won't make anyone feel out of place. read more

Came here for lunch with coworkers. It's a large restaurant, lots of light and a nice view of the harbor. Parking is available in the lot nearby where Bed Bath and Beyond is. It's a very basic nice-ish American-italian joint. The menu is slightly upscale, but not the most creative or interesting. I got the pumpkin ravioli with mushrooms. It tasted just as I expected, which was pretty good. A little pricey. read more

Sorely disappointed. Grossly overpriced for the quality they provide. Everything is consistently over salted and under seasoned. For 11 whole dollars the saddest little caesar salad comes with two anchovies that smelled off. Croutons are tasty but id advise getting the same for half the price literally anywhere else. They dont do near enough differently to justify that price. For an additional $8.5 you can get a dry chicken breast to accompany your sad sad salad. You might taste a hint of seasoning on the chicken but it's mostly just tastes of salt. Mosaic of swordfish with baby shrimp and pea risotto: swordfish is overcooked resulting in a tough, dry texture. Risotto is HEAVILY salted comes with frozen peas and 4 cut up pieces of shrimp amounting to about about 1 shrimp when reassembled. Honestly the risotto tastes like something you might buy in a box and throw in the microwave... All for the price of $18 Meatball app: "creamy polenta" is very liquid/watery and not particularly impressive flavor wise. Not crazy about the meatballs either. Ive run out of words to describe my disappointment. read more

THEY HAVE HEATERS!!! Not all seats are in range of the heaters but if you go around 8:30PM, it's not as busy anymore and you're more likely to be seated next to a heater. However, when you go at night you do miss out on the beautiful view of all the yachts in the marina. They make up for the view by adding Christmas lights for ambiance. I really loved it! Ooh and the food was AMAZING. The pork meatballs were not my favorite. I thought they tasted a bit like sausage, which I don't like but everyone else loved them. The swordfish and gnocchi were on point. The gnocchi was so filling that you can definitely take half home for a second meal. They also have affordable bottles of wine. Unfortunately, we were too full to try the dessert so we're just going to have to go back again. Service is also fast and attentive. I forgot our waitress's name but she was incredible and really accommodating. They also have a contactless payments system which is helpful. Highly recommend this place for a date night! read more

Another restaurant that doesn't do customer service I went in asked for a table which was given. Went to park my wife waited sat at the table. Returned to be told that the table we had been given was not available / maybe in 45 minutes. No apology or explanation. read more

Fast service meant no crazy behavior by my toddler. The food was great! I love the atmosphere at Alma Nove.

This is definitely a special occasion type of place, but we were treated like royalty! We made reservations and arrived early to grab a drink at the bar. The hostess was not aware we were celebrating, but came to grab us so we could have a window seat. She wanted us to have a window seat before the next large party came in! How nice is that? Then we told her we were celebrating our anniversary, she was so happy we got the window seat. Our waitress was also amazing, great service and even brought us a special treat at the end for our anniversary. The food was amazing! Unfortunately I didn't like the salmon as much as I had hope since it was wild caught (not my fav).= Definitely recommend! read more

Amazing fooood. The area was small and the parking situation was a little confusing but I loved it. I definitely think this is a great place to go for a date night. It had a great few, great service, smiles all around and the staff are so great about complimenting people (flattery will get you an extra star from me lmao) But seriously, this was a great experience. Food: Bread to start. It was soft and melted In my mouth and they had different flavors. I can be very critical of calimari and this one did not disappoint. Perfectly crunchy and just the right consistency. For my meal, I had Duck and sweet potato . I'm not a huge duck person but I became a true fan after. read more

This place is no joke. I was more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meal. Started with the scallop and ravioli appetizer. Moved onto the Mediterranean salad, then onto the Braised ShortRib, and ended with the chocolate cake. Everything about the food was fantastic. I just wish Paul was actually there so I could complement him on the food. Instead, his kitchen staff was well trained and performed the job on their own. My only complaint is that I was by myself and it took over two hours to get through the meal. There were long pauses between communication from the wait staff. Then I gave them my credit card when I ordered my dessert course to expedite the process. They bungled processing the credit card saying that my credit card would not process the transaction saying that it was denied. That actually didn't happen. Turned out it was the restaurants fault and they didn't know how to process credit cards correctly. I had to call my credit card company to verify that it was not a problem with my card. I then handed the card back to the wait staff to process the card correctly. Then I overheard "you didn't do ..., next time you will know". What was weird is that the person that was processing the card was not new. read more

Nice and elegant inside. Ate on the patio was a nice night for it. New menu rolled out so there were no specials. Drink had and old fashioned and also vanilla bourbon which was vanilla beans in woodford reserve and angels envy! Was a great drink to start with!

Fabulous views, great service and delicious food. I loved the potato crusted calamari. The calamari was so light with this amazingly flavored mojo aioli. Buratta is a go to on any menu what a unique interpretation of caprese with roasted eggplant and pesto. I did expect tomatoes but was not dissatisfied by any means. The pastaa dish: orecchiette was 10/10! As for the Mussels; I do wish there was more sauce. Go ahead and skip on the cod Cakes if you are between two choices they were not very flavorful. read more

Such a beautiful restaurant here in Hingham overlooking the water, or shall I say Hingham Harbor. We were surprised on NYE this restaurant was not crowded at all, but we had our little semi-private room to celebrate it which was very nice. I will say that the food is delicious, fresh and Alma Nove is one of those restaurants that has always been romantic. So it was great for us to celebrate NYE here just the 2 of us. We made reservations ahead of time and we were seated right away. I ordered the Dirty Martini and my hubby had the Winter Blues, both were very good. Don't fill up on their bread which comes with black salt butter, so good and so easy to fill up on. We also had their pumpkin ravioli, not my favorite. It came with grilled shrimp (which you never add to pumpkin ravioli) but whatever. The shrimp was better than the ravioli itself, but we did dip our bread in the butter sauce which was good. I ordered the Potato Crusted Cod, extremely salty and I was so disappointed since it was so good. The manager did take this off my bill, which was super nice of him. My husband ordered their special, Beef Tenderloin and that was delish. We then finished off the night with their Bourbon Bread Pudding, a must if you dine here. I will say we had a great evening dining here (and to complete the 2021 year) at Alma Nove. A must-try if you have never been. The ambiance alone is well worth it. Cheers! read more

Headed there tonight for a birthday dinner. We got there at 7:40pm, and it was 15 minutes before our table was greeted, and received water. Ordered the wing special, and the muscles. The muscles were over cooked, dry and sandy. It was like they sat under the heat lamp too long. Hey it happens. We sent them back. When the manager came to the table he explained they sell a lot of them and was confused as to why they weren't good. He was not very professional, and you should never question the guest. The wings were o-k. Anyway, the entrees took 1 hour to come out after that. When we asked the waitress where our food was, she also looked confused. We won't be back. No one offered anything for the mis function. We were there for 1.5 hours before we received dinner. Would have loved desert but chose to go elsewhere because we had been there for so long unhappy. Portions are small and not worth it. read more

We had a family get together last week for lunch at a Central location - Alma Nove in Hingham. One of the couples had been there before and highly recommended it. They have a deliciously diverse Menu and beautiful location at the Hingham Shipyard. Lots to see, do and eat there and an easy 25 minute ride on the Boston Ferry!! We were fortunate to have Frank as our Server and his politeness, attention to detail and professionalism is unsurpassed. He took excellent care of us and made us feel like valued customers. Give this wonderful Paul Wahlburg restaurant a try, you'll be glad you did!! read more

Food is tasty... I've enjoyed lunch and dinner on multiple occasions. Service is just basic but the ambiance is always good. I'll be back!

I gave this place a bad review a few years ago but returned last week for a GREAT experience. My friends & I went for a birthday dinner this past week and had a phenomenal time. We ordered multiple apps, entrees & bottles of wine to split amongst the 6 of us. Our server was spectacular and provided us with fantastic service, changing cutlery, wine glasses and plates between items arriving at our table. She could not have been more pleasant & solicitous if she tried. Place was packed & food came out quickly. All in all, it was a delightful evening. Other: Love the seating area by the bar - great for my disabled friend Restrooms (and restaurant) are sparkling clean Cons: Parking is limited, not great for people with disabilities (this is beyond their control). read more
