Delightful!! Celebrating a special anniversary. Starters were calamari, arugula fig salad followed by short rib entree and the chicken - timing was perfect-meals were delicious and perfectly prepared. It was a rainy foggy evening but the vibe was warm and inviting!! View was still lovely while a bit foggy. read more

Good service, food, and atmosphere. Nice place to grab a bite to eat! Portions could be better but everything was pretty tasty.

Night off work...headed 3 hours to Weymouth, south of Beantown to check out Alma Nove. Paul Wahlberg has a gem and from start to finish.....straight fire. Will be back ASAP. Happiness isn't getting all you want....it's enjoying all you have. read more

Had a wonderful birthday dinner here. Food was awesome from salad to desert. Met Paul the chef/owner, great guy. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I thought that this spot was great! Our group was fairly good sized, and we ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts - all of which received positive reviews. Server was attentive, but not overbearing. Ambience was pleasant, even though the restaurant was busy on a Friday night. It's a little expensive, but that should be expected for the type of restaurant and the location. All in all, I got exactly what I expected - well done Alma Nove! read more

Food was exceptionally good! Service was horrific! We are seasoned restaurant goers and it was shockingly poor service! We highlighted the problem 4 times and no response! Very disappointing! read more

Came in while waiting for a flight and had the MOST DEVINE lemon drop martini I have ever had! The bartender Daralyn was fabulous, a true mixologist!!! If you have time, you HAVE to treat yourself! Daralyn took the time to talk me through how she makes the most refreshing and balanced cocktail, she's a gem!! 10/10 read more

If I could give six stars just for the service, I would: our waitress was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and most important - a good listener. One of my 7-person party had a food allergy - this waitress listened, asked questions, and then checked with the kitchen staff before offering options. The food was savory, from start to finish. The Salumi board was our appetizer - wonderful selection of cured meats, cheeses & veggies. I could eat one of these as an entree, but it was fun to share. I selected the rigatoni with Italian sausage & the spicy vodka sauce. Quite nice: 9 out of 10 for that dish. 3 members of my party also had it: nothing was left over. Two daughters ordered the A9 burger; both loved it and I took a bite, too. Dessert time...oh, so amazing. I had the lemon berry cake - heaven could not taste more sweet. I also sampled the vanilla bean creme brulee, which most of my party chose: another savory delight. And one daughter chose a chocolate smores cake: she loved it. And let me say: this was our first time here: we plan on returning! read more

Beautiful place right on the water at the Hingham Shipyard. The small but cozy atmosphere is perfect for date night. I love the story of the famous local family behind this spot! Most recently I came here for my husband's birthday. I ordered the truffle bubble martini, which is a show stopper! There is an actual bubble on top of the martini which pops into a cloud of smoke. It was really cool as I was not expecting that! We started with the meatballs and mussels. The meatballs were delicious but surprisingly small. The mussels were fantastic; large portion size with excellent broth and bread. I couldn't stop eating them! For my entree, I ordered the short rib and omg you didn't need teeth to eat this meal! The meat just melted in your mouth and the mashed potatoes were perfect. For dessert, we shared the affogato and it was dreamy. The homemade biscotti was my favorite part; so soft, warm and comforting. I would definitely recommend checking this place out for a special occasion! read more

The mussels were out of this world-excellent sauce! The special beef tacos were fabulous with a combination of crunch and good smoke flavor. The service team worked together to care for us as we enjoyed numerous courses. The espresso next to Bailey gelato with fudge AND homemade chocolate chip biscotti topped us off! Plus the view of the harbor and the famous owner, who graciously spoke with us and gave us tips in Hull, our next destination. I highly recommend this establishment! read more

I have no idea what people are talking about when giving Alma Nove less than 5 stars. This is one of the best Italian spots I have been to. First of all the restaurant is clean, crisp and modern-classic right next to the water. This is a great date night spot. I would recommend making reservations. Our server was extremely attentive and gave us a lots of recommendations. We were celebrating the finish of a work project so we went to town! As an appetizer we go the oyster which were extremely fresh and disappeared in 5 seconds. The meatballs were extremely juicy and were laid out on a whipped ricotta that was a lovely complement to the meatball. Calamari was crispy and not greasy. The watermelon salad was nice to have a fresh salad to go with all the hot appetizers. We got 4 different pastas to share. You MUST order the gnocchi. My coworker customized his gnocchi and got it with the bolognese sauce which turned out incredible. The gnocchi was so soft, it was like eating a cloud. We all agreed it was the best gnocchi we ever had. Please order the gnocchi, whether it was the special on the menu or if you make your own!! Each pasta dish was great, but the gnocchi was the one that stood out! As the "Secondi" dishes we got the chicken and duck. Both were extremely flavorful and it was nice to break up the pasta with some protein. For dessert we got 4 and shared. The best was the chocolate s'mores cake but I believe this is seasonal. They do change their dessert items, so you might not be in luck next time you go there. Overall, the food was so flavorful and delicious and the service was outstanding. We even got the honor of having the owner Paul Wahlberg to come out and say hi to us. He told us a few stories and was an extremely down to earth gentleman. We all had a lovely time and that was definitely the cherry on top. read more

Went last night, had a wonderful evening. The hostess was kind gracious and very helpful changing our res and table. Meatballs and sauce with bread as well as the calamari was a great start. The duck is phenomenal and cooked to perfection. My wife loved her bolognese and my guests also enjoyed the duck. Great ambiance and overall a wonderful evening with the highlight getting to meet the master chef himself. (Sorry for the man hug Paul) read more

If you're looking to have a great dining experience in a beautiful area with a great view, this is the place. This is a modern Italian-Mediterranean spot from the Wahlberg brothers offering a chic vibe with harbor views. Elegant decor. As I parked and walked toward the restaurant, I couldn't help but take a moment to look out at the harbor and admire the beauty around me. The food! The food was phenomenal. As a group we ordered the following appetizers; Wood-grilled Octopus, Italian Beef & Pork Meatballs, Oysters and Fried Shrimp. All great! I ordered the Buttermilk Marinated Bell & Evans Chicken (cornbread, chorizo & sweet corn bread pudding, sofrito, pan jus) as my main course. The chicken was so tender and the cornbread was perfection. Just the right amount of everything in this dish. A must try. They have a great dessert menu and full bar. The service was great. Very attentive staff. Everything about this place was great and I hope to go back again one day soon. Hints: Ask for the bread Get there before sunset to enjoy scenery read more

We visited Alma Nove today for dinner. We hadn't been here in quite some time. The interior is lovely and the location is wonderful. We enjoyed our food, but the service was poor. We waited 15 minutes just to order; And the restaurant was almost empty. Then. after another 15 minutes, we had to ask the hostess to check on our drinks. Despite the long wait, Our meals were excellent. When we were finished, we waited for a long time to have our plates cleared and waited another fifteen minutes to get our bill, which we had to ask the host for since our server was nowhere to be found. We decided to skip coffee and dessert. We did meet Paul Wahlburg on our way out. He was most welcoming and it was nice to meet him. We did tell him the food was great, which it was. All in all, the poor, slow service really dampened our experience. read more

I came to Alma Nove for lunch with two friends this past Saturday. We had an all-around pleasant experience. The service was excellent, the ambiance was sophisticated and classy with the white tablecloths and waterfront views, and most importantly, the food was fresh and delicious. I would give Alma Nove a solid 4.5 stars, but since half stars are not an option on Yelp, I'm giving them 5. I deduct half a star because the menu did not have much variety (for an Italian restaurant, I'm surprised they don't serve eggplant/chicken/veal parm) and the portions could have been a bit more substantial. I ordered the Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad which was advertised as an entree size salad, but it was pretty small even after adding some chicken, so I ordered the Italian Beef and Pork Meatballs from the appetizer menu which rounded out my meal nicely. I would definitely come back here! This is a nice spot for a date night or a get-together with friends or family. read more

When you go out to spend your heard earned money you are looking for great service, stunning drinks and amazing food. Alma Nove checked all of those boxes for us last night. Our waitress was very attentive and gave great advice when we asked for recommendations. We ordered a few drinks off the menu Vanilla Bourbon and Jack-O-Tini and added a Calamari appetizer and then she brought us some bread and butter. Flavor of both drinks were spot on with sweet vanilla flavors in the Bourbon and a nice light Vanilla Pumpkin flavor in the Jack-O-Tini. Potato crust was crispy on the calamari and everything tasted fresh and not rubbery. I loved the candied citrus, but would have liked a little more mustard aioli. OMG the Duck Breast with cauliflower risotto was to die for. Got it medium rare and it was cooked perfect. The flavors or the entire dish made my mouth sing. A+++ The Short Rib with sweet corn risotto was fall apart perfection. Server said that was her favorite dish on the menu. Just look at the picture of the S'mores Martini. Need I say more??? read more

Beautiful, extensive wine list, excellent food. Loved the charcuterie and risotto. Everyone is so professional.

The lasagna appetizer was bad and I don't mean just bad. It was rotten. I don't know who's doing the cooking, but this food is subpar

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

My boyfriend and I went to Alma Nove to celebrate our 2nd anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience. I ordered the duck breast, and it's easily the best I've ever had--perfectly tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The chef did an incredible job. We were beyond satisfied with the food, drinks, and service. We can't stop talking about how amazing everything was and can't wait to come back! read more

The service was a little slow. I think they were understaffed. The food was good. The view and interior was very pleasant.

We ordered food for takeout at 5 pm and were told it would be ready at 5:45. When I went in to get it, it wasn't ready. I had to wait until 6:10. Now, if they would have told me it would be 1/2 an hour, we would have parked and grabbed a drink. Instead I waited in the restaurant while our grandson and husband circled in the car. The food was very good. We had pasta, salad, and beef. They sent bread, gf bread and 2 separate containers for dipping. read more

This review is tough to make a for a few reasons. I'll start by saying that I was super excited to go. The reservation was booked days in advance for the celebration of a college graduation. The drinks very very good and I can't complain about the food (Strozzapreti) either. It would be foolish to not mention how convenient the heaters are as well....however, the service was not very good. Upon being sat down by the hostess, nobody attended our table for a half hour. When I went back inside to remind the hostess it had been about a half hour without service, I received a pretty vague and uncaring reaction. Nobody ever apologized for poor service, and the server continued to be slow throughout the night. Additionally, the wait for food was more than a half hour as well. Although I enjoyed the meal, I can't see myself returning with all of the other quality options in the area. Regardless, my reviews are not intended to tear down business and I wish them the best. read more

Alma Nove - Sippin' on Sunshine - Italian Near Me - Hingham, Massachusetts

Not sure I can even rate my experinece on 10/19/25; perhaps it was an off day. We arrived around 12:30 PM. Restaurant is very pretty, There were only a handful of patrons. A few outside and a few at the bar. Initially, we were the only party in the dining room. I ordered a cosmo but had to return it as it tasted like a glass of lime juice. I reordered a bloody mary. The description was "Absolut Citron, Absolut Peppar, bloody mary mix, crispy bacon & rimmed with old bay". I got a 3/4 full glass of bloody mary with a limp yellow piece of celery. We were two adults and a child. Ordered the swordfish skewer. Two tiny skewers of swordfish over risotto which was plopped on the plate. Description mentioned served with olive tapenade. No olive tapenade. Also ordered the shrimp jasmine rice bowl. It was ok, but presentation was less than ordinary. Child had the chicken tenders with a vegetable medley. The vegetables where mushy and unappealing. Not touched by a child who really likes vegatables. As mentioned, we arrived around 12:30 PM and left the restaurant around 3:30 PM, most of the time spent waiting for drinks; waiting for order to be taken, waiting for meals to arrive. Child had dessert and waited more than 20 minutes for dessert to arrive. Spent a great deal of time looking for our waiter who often disappeared from sight. I wanted to really like this restaurant, but was very disappointed in both food and service. As mentioned, perhaps it was an off day. Perhaps the person making the cocktails was filling in for a more experienced cocktail maker. Perhaps the waiter was new. Perhaps, the kitchen was short of staff. But, unfortunately for us, a very disappointing Sunday afternoon. read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice, however I ordered the special which was corned beef and cabbage. The plate came out with 2 pieces of corned beef stacked on top of each other. The first piece was ok, the second piece was so tough I could not cut it with a knife. A friend sitting at the table with me commented that I would need a sawzall to cut it! They offered me a free desert! I was not in the mood for desert so I passed on that and ordered a cup of coffee with milk. I asked for milk twice and the waitress would bring cream! I gave up. Very disappointed!!! read more
