Spaghetti and meatballs, risotto, shrimp scampi
Jared K.

Food is incredible, staff is very welcoming and friendly. Everything tastes homemade and delicious.

Pasta primavera with angel hair pasta
Barbara S.

What a gem this little place is. Delicious freshly made food, excellent service and a small nice bar. I used the Daily Deal to try this restaurant. so glad we did. a definite return. the owner, chef, Carlo visits each table, chats with customers and assures all is well. we waited a few min. for our dinner to be prepared as everything was freshly made, and piping hot. I have the pasta primavera with fresh vegetables & angel hair pasta. delicious focaccia bread served with seasoned EVOO, and garlic bread accompanied the dinner. My husband had chicken marsala with penne pasta, ample au jus as well. delicious blend of flavors, and light Marsala gravy. the desserts are fresh from the North Boston area. Coffee was full bodied, and a huge cup. The soft music was enjoyable, with the classics, Sinatra, Crosby, Martin etc. Try this place. You will be delightfully pleased.

Delicious!
 Chicken Alfredo 4 cheese!

From the minute you walk into Carluccio's restaurant, you feel like you are right at home...The food was outstanding from the chicken parm to the Alfredo...to the Chicken piccata...you can't go wrong with anything you order from the menu. How often do you see the owner greeting patrons, bringing out their dishes, and checking on food going from table to table? The wait staff was attentive and checked in several times asking how everything was....and then it happened...the dessert tray came out and you could SEE what you were ordering! Amazing! We shared a tirimisu ...which of course was amazing as well. A true GEM!'

Never had a bad experience here. Service is always great…read moreFood is excellent Price on par with others Portions are huge. Always get two meals out of it

On September 3, 2026 I made a 6 PM reservation for four ,…read moremyself and my two sisters and my wife. It was one of my sister's birthday. A tomato restaurant atmosphere was fantastic and there was a singing guitar player. We had a fantastic server named Sydney. We had a problem with one of the four meals. My wife ( Italian descent) ordered the chicken cacciatore with the pretense that the sauce was going be a standard red Italian sauce. But when her mail came out. It was an overly spicy " brown colored" sauce. My wife wasn't happy and she barely touched her meal. Totally ruin her night. I told her to order another meal, but she was in a bad mood at that point and didn't want to eat anymore. I told her to send it back, but she said forget it. I took the chicken cacciatore home and I ate it the next night. I have to say being in half Italian myself the chicken cacciatore sauce is terrible.( way too spicy, saturated with hot pepper Why wasn't it made with a standard red sauce? Is that brown sauce recipe the standard sauce uses for chicken cacciatore? I wondering if that night did Tomatoes have a stand-in short order cook preparing a chicken cacciatore meals. I think in the future , servers need to tell future customers who might order the chicken cacciatore meal that is not nade with standard Italian red sauce to avoid future customer disappointments.

I wasn't going to update my review because the quality of the food has simply not disappeared since…read morethe last time I was there. And unfortunately I didn't take any pictures because we tore into the food like rabid animals! We started off with a combo of Toro belly, thinly sliced with a saucy garnish that was just heavenly, and it comes with a side of tuna tartar. More than worth the $22 for the appetizer. The melt in your mouth tuna was divine. And given the season, my fried rock shrimp are back, and those are always a crowd pleaser at the table. A burrata and fried eggplant appetizer with pesto and eggplant purée rounded out our " we wanted to sample appetizers" mood. And in the vein of not bypassing a pasta dish - shells with Jonas crab and corn in a creamy and buttery and decadent Parmesan sauce was our main course. We opted for not going for an entrée because we shared three appetizers and this stupid delicious pasta dish. Service was hilariously professional, caring and didn't miss a beat! Be advised that one quick change is the four dollar charge if you want a sample of wine before you order a glass. A practice not usually seen, however, they've institutionalized it. Just be aware that you need to go and knowing exactly what wine you want. Otherwise you'll wind up returning your glass I suppose but I don't know if they'll charge you for a full glass once you've tried it if you didn't like it. Worth asking. All in Leonessa is almost perfect in every way. Food you want to eat and food you crave long after the meal is done. (don't bypass the crème brûlée.!)

Charming, rustic, stylish, and, romantic is Leonessa. Wonderful valet and table service.

I had to go to Sandwich, so while I was there I picked up sandwiches, and Nana's seemed like the…read moreplace to go. I was bringing lunch back for a friend, so I ordered two different sandwiches so we could each sample both. Of course I had the chicken Parm, and the other was the Bronx Tale. Both were wonderful paninis! I bought a few other treats while in this gourmet wonderland. They have hot cooked food bar too, so I grabbed chicken parm to go home/ sold by the lb. They have pastries too, I'll have to go back, hopefully it won't be because I have a doctor's appt.

When I first stumbled across Nana's about a year ago, I was absolutely thrilled. I finally thought…read moreI had found an authentic Italian sandwich shop on the Cape. I ordered four "sangwiches"--pork and rabe, chicken cutlet and rabe, and Italian hoagies--and every single one was outstanding. In fact, Nana's immediately became one of my "must-stop" places every time I came to the Cape. Sadly, that was not my recent experience. Before writing this review, I tried contacting Nana's twice through their website and also reached out through Facebook and Instagram. After waiting two weeks without a single response, I'm reluctantly posting this instead. On my latest visit, I stopped in between breakfast and lunch, figuring I'd picked the perfect time. There were only three customers in the restaurant. I stood at the sandwich counter for nearly 20 minutes while the sandwich crew and what appeared to be a manager carried on a conversation. I was standing directly in front of them, yet no one acknowledged me. Just as I was about to walk out, their meeting ended and someone finally took my order. I was disappointed to hear there was no pork and rabe available, so I ordered a chicken cutlet and rabe sandwich along with Italian hoagies. I specifically discussed the long hot peppers with the cashier because they were one of the things I loved most about my previous visit. I didn't mind waiting because I could see the cutlets being fried fresh and the broccoli rabe being heated. Fresh food done right is worth waiting for. Unfortunately, the sandwiches were nothing like I remembered. The chicken cutlet was perfectly fried, but everything else fell flat. The broccoli rabe was long, stringy, and difficult to chew. After one bite, the entire pile of rabe pulled out of the sandwich in one piece. That also let me taste it by itself--and it tasted like...water. No garlic. No olive oil. None of the slight bitterness that good broccoli rabe should have. Just bland. The bread was another huge disappointment. Instead of the crusty Italian bread I remembered, it was served on a soft, doughy roll that completely changed the sandwich. And despite specifically requesting the long hot peppers, there weren't any. No peppers. No seasoning. Just a fried cutlet and flavorless greens on dry bread. It was a waste of what could have been an excellent sandwich. Then came the Italian hoagie. It was honestly one of the most disappointing Italian sandwiches I've ever had. Again, it came on the same soft hoagie roll. There was a light smear of dressing, the cold cuts, and two paper-thin slices of tomato. No lettuce. No onions. No hot peppers. Barely any dressing. Nothing that makes an authentic Italian hoagie memorable. I honestly think I've had better Italian sandwiches from Subway. I kept hoping this was simply the result of summer help, inexperienced staff, or just an off day. But after making multiple attempts to contact management and never receiving a response, I'm left wondering if Nana's has changed owners, if quality standards have slipped, or if customer feedback simply isn't important anymore. It's genuinely disappointing because I know how good Nana's used to be. That's what makes this review so difficult to write. You earned a loyal customer once. If you ever return to making the sandwiches you were serving in 2025--with authentic bread, properly seasoned ingredients, careful attention to orders, and the quality that first impressed me--I'd gladly come back. Until then, I can't honestly recommend Nana's as an authentic Italian-American sandwich shop. Right now, it feels more like an average American sandwich shop charging premium prices. Thank you for the wonderful sandwiches you once made. I sincerely hope you find your way back to them.

Unfortunately, the restaurant still has alot of kinks to work out. The space is small and cramped…read more(not synonymous with quaint and intimate). We were seated promptly for an early reservation and seated in a small room next to what appeared to be the private day care center for a parade of children and grandparents carrying their meals (likely family of restaurant owners/staff). Wait staff was pleasant, drinks and bread fine and delivered promptly. Then we waited, waited, waited while tables around us who arrived after us were served their entrees. Over an hour later, our meals arrived with no apology for the delay. The food was good, nothing so special meriting a return visit. After we finished our food (delivered late!) we were inquiring about dessert and told that there was a reservation for our table in ten minutes, implying that we either had no time to order or better eat fast. Funny instructions considering we were only lingering at the table longer than our apparent allotted time due to the one hour delay in the kitchen--the comment that inspired this review. We ate the dessert which was probably the highlight of the meal next to the bread, paid the check, did not penalize the waitress with a generous tip, and walked through a throng of guests waiting to be seated who were blocking the exit door they were packed in so tight. I'd like to think it was a bad night, but hearing others' stories and reading reviews, it appears to be more the rule than the exception. Too bad...it was always a go-to destination. Will certainly rethink a return visit as there are plenty of Italian menus on the cape with better seating, prompter service, and memorable food. Just an honest critique from someone who likes to support local restauranteurs and small establishments...MIlano's please raise your game....this is the off-season when mostly locals get to visit. You can be better.

Finally an Italian restaurant on the cape with great food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff…read more It was beyond our expectations! The cioppino just cracked my top 5 dishes on the entire Cape. We will be back!
