Food : I rarely do this - 9+ There are few places that can send Door Dashed food to your hotel and the food be as outstanding as theirs - do yourself a favor when u stay in Gloucester, eat at here - quality is outstanding we thought. White Bean Escarole with Tuna Bolognese Sunday Dinner Canollis All were excellent- I know their simple , but perfect fresh pasta that travelled well - Second night still yum Service : we didn't eat in but the food travelled very well - we saw the place and looking forward to dine in Ambiance : looking forward to experiencing read more

I came with a friend during Sunday, the last day of Fiesta, and it was packed. It was going to be a 45 minute wait for the two of us, so they left. I came back 10 minutes later, and Joe was gracious in finding me a single seat at the end of the bar. Kelsey was my bartender, I really liked her personality. Evie was also helpful on the other side. I started with bread service, then maplebrook farm burrata. The bread was good, nothing special. The burrata was very creative with peaches, arugula, white balsamic reduction, roasted pistachio. I felt the flavors were a bit unbalanced. The peaches were a little sour so maybe a little more sauce, like fig, and a bit less arugula, as much as I love it, would be better. For my meal, I tried their chicken parmesan with bolognese sauce (per Kelsey's recommendation), and it was perfect. I would never typically mix beef & chicken that way, but it was great! It was an add-on of $5 though. bread service 7.2/10 maplebrook farm burrata 6.6/10 chicken parm with bolognese sauce 10/10 spicy watermelon margarita 7.7/10 My only complaint is that I was sitting at the very end of the bar by the kitchen where servers were coming in and out, which was not an issue for me at all, I was hungry and wanted good food. Joe went out of his way to find me a spot during Sunday's last evening of Fiesta. The issue I had though, is a server had come over to that area and sneezed without covering her sneeze, which bothered me since my food was within 10 ft distance. I would have rather said something in person, but everyone was running around because it was so busy. For future reference, please try to cover your sneeze, even if it is next to the servers/kitchen area. Tonno Gloucester is an elevated Italian restaurant with a gorgeous ambiance, at the end of main street so easy to get to. It has elevated prices with a gorgeous setting for this fisherman's city. I'd return to try them again. ambiance: 5/5 food: 4/5 drinks: 3.4/5 service: 5/5 Tonno Gloucester: 4.3/5 read more

A nice combination of Italian and seafood, which was also a good change of pace from the many (great) seafood joints in Gloucester. I started with the tuna tartare, which was good but probably did not live up to the reviews (or name of the restaurant). Again, not bad but not life changing. I actually preferred the garlic bread (which was arguably great and life changing). I had the swordfish as my main course and that was probably the highlight, maybe the best swordfish I ever had. Much more moist and tender than swordfish I've had before. I also found the asparagus quite good. A nice option in Gloucester. read more

Impeccable service! We were waited on by Matthew and he was wonderfully attentive, friendly, and made our experience top notch. He is a gem at Tonno. Food was incredible! The best bolognese I've had in years. The halibut special was amazing - a wonderful medley of fall flavors and I would highly recommend. For appetizers, the calamari was great. Two individuals at our table split dishes (tagliatelle and halibut) and our server had them plated on two separate dishes for each person, which made it much easier to share - loved that attention to detail and great service. The restaurant had a great vibe and was super lively. When you are looking for a dinner restaurant in downtown Gloucester, I would highly recommend Tonno! read more

Ah, Tonno which translates to Tuna in Italian. I bet you did not know that lol! Another restaurant we dined while on vacation. I wish I had better news for this one but I will say my Nebbiolo wine was superb and I did enjoy the salad. Oh and the ambiance was also quite nice! Overall, this Italian restaurant is no North End, but I heard their head Chef left to open up a nearby restaurant so some locals mentioned the quality went down. I guess we'll see! We wanted to like it here, but after ordering their Chicken Parmigiana and having to send it back because it was overcooked...Mama Mia! My grandmother would be very upset! And don't get me started on the sauce. I mean c'mon how hard can it be. Ugh! The only could thing to come out of this was the service, which was quite impeccable and it was quite busy for a Monday night. I probably would give them another shot if we're ever done here again, but hopefully their Chef knows how to cook by then. We can only hope! read more

Went here for a wedding welcome party, and while most places have appetizers that get worse as the night progresses, this place kept bringing out smaller quantities and nailed the fresh taste. Then, the servers were constantly floating around and gathering spent plates and glasses and kept every place in the area open for people to enjoy and clean! read more

It's always hard to find great food when traveling and we were thrilled to stumble upon Tonno. We had the bolognese, salmon, white beans, burrata and peaches, and finished with cannoli. No misses - just excellent Italian food on a breeze patio. read more

The wife was away tonight so off to Tonnos. Sat at the bar for $1.00 oysters (24) and the grilled octopus which was spectacular. My vodka martini was made perfectly as always. All my new friends at the bar were also commenting on how good their meals were. The tuna steak looked pretty good too. Highly recommend Tonnos in Gloucester read more

Food is always amazing. The staff is fantastic fantastic. I'm blanking on the names but there are two servers/ bartenders who are incredible. Ambience is dim and the crowd is lively but orderly. We sat at the bar and had a great time, the drinks are delicious and they serve one of the crispest Maine lunch beers I've had in a while. The food is of course impeccable. Previous visits have seen salads, mushroom risotto, ricotta, arancini, among others. Always great, will be back. read more

Everything was a treat! Ken our waiter so very polite , knowledgeable and pleasant. Not to mention delightful and sweetly cute. The food outstanding but we were full after the antipasto which was enormous. The bread fresh and my veal delicious as was husband's salmon. We had to choke down our cannolis because we were so full but couldn't leave without trying one or two but worth every bite! The wine we ordered was from Multipuciano, Italy which was a favorite spot to enjoy while we were in Italy. All in all what a treat. We shall return read more

The wife and I had eaten at Tonno in Wakefield many times and go back time and time again because we just love the food, drinks and atmosphere with friends. The restaurant is very nice, clean and has a really good vibe. The drinks are really good and the food is wonderful. We always get the arancini and the meatballs to start and have tried most of the Primi on the menu. Entrees (Secondi) are excellent and we recommend any of them. One of my favorites is the grilled bone in ribeye and the wife loves the roasted salmon and swordfish. Great place to go with friends and enjoy the company your with. Never felt pressure to leave and usually close the place down. Staff is phenomenal and lots of parking in the area. We will certainly go back to the Gloucester location again and can't wait! read more

Had an excellent experience and birthday dinner at Tonno last night! We wanted to eat on the earlier side and arrived around 5pm so we were seated right away and it was very quiet Our waitress was lovely but I unfortunately don't remember her name. She gave us a lot of time to look through the menu and make decisions. They have a decent sized menu and options for daily specials as well The complimentary focaccia and oil they bring you is delicious. My partner had an espresso martini I forgot to get a photo of but she loved it and I had the Italian 75 spritz which was nice also For food she got the chicken parm. She said it was one of the best she's had. The piece of chicken was gigantic, the sauce was flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly though we agreed for both our dishes they could've included more pasta I chose one of the specials, the lobster and butternut squash with rigatoni. It was absolutely delicious! The lobster was fresh and they give you a decent amount and the butternut squash was so flavorful. I would 100% get this dish again and I'll probably be thinking about it for awhile We didn't get dessert because we had cupcakes waiting for us back home. Overall it was a wonderful experience with delicious food and attentive, friendly service! read more

Great food and great service. We ordered a pizza to have the next day. It was wonderful

It was my first time here. My Niece made reservations for our family reunion that was forty years overdue. When I arrived I found there was a mixup in our reservations and management took every step to accommodate the ten of us. The establishment was spotless. The service was fantastic. The food was a pleasure to the eyes and pallet. Pricing was spot on for the quality and serving. I tip my hat and take a knee for making this special evening spectacular for us. read more

An excellent place to eat. My wife and I eat here at least once every time we are in town. The atmosphere is nice the staff is friendly and attentive and most importantly, the food is excellent. We have had everything from steak to seafood and everything in-between. The food is always cooked perfect , tastes excellent and leaves us fully satisfied and wanting to come back . If your in the area this is a must stop for a good meal. read more

Visited this spot on a work trip and was excited to try all the seafood here! The seafood platter appetizer was a hit for my team as it offered various arrangements of seafood that we could try without having to order too many dishes. The seafood was fresh and tasty. However I didn't like the clam it was too fishy. Our host who was a local recommended the pumpkin latte and oh my, it was delicious!! So creamy and sweet, perfect for the fall. The rest of the food was delicious and the vibes and employees were great too. read more

Had another excellent dinner at Tonno. Tuna Crudo and Filet were highlights, as was flourless chocolate cake dessert - all were expertly prepared and presented! Only negative - they recently completed the second floor space, which is where we were seated. Very much geared as an event/banquette space (and I think would excellent for that) but doesn't have anywhere near the warmth and vibe of the original downstairs space. Very high ceilings, harsh cool-temperature lighting. The LED lights behind the bar need some kind of light deflector so the individual bulbs aren't visible, was really unpleasant from my view. Additionally waitstaff carries plates up and down the stairs, I ran into this twice and it was a little awkward. So would recommend requesting downstairs if these factors matter to you. Otherwise, still a huge fan! read more

Went out with friends who had a reservation for us, we ended up waiting about 10 minutes anyways but hey it's a Saturday night. The server was helpful and had good conversations with us. I got a glass of wine and the rest of table got drinks as well and they were all well crafted. Our server helped us with the menu and made great suggestions. I got the bolognese and homemade pasta, I also have a shellfish allergy (at the seafood place I know) and had no issues at all! The pasta and the sauce were delicious. Would recommend! read more

What a great spot! Was visiting family and they suggested we all go there as it's one of their favorite places! I can see why. The building itself is pretty cool. Right on a main drag with a small parking area, street parking and a lot across the street. The decor is nice and comfortable, the wait staff and bartenders are wonderful, engaging and knowledgeable. We ordered : Cocktails and Wine 3 flatbread pizzas Chicken parm Veal saltimboca An assortment of seafood bar bites ( my cousin made himself a customized platter) Raw oysters, broiled oysters, tuna tar tar on a type of taco). He said it was all amazing. I tried the broiled oyster and it was melt in your mouth delicious. I will order some next time for sure! Yes there def will be a next time! Check it out if you are in Gloucester Ma. We are for sure going back. Bonus. You can purchase pistachio martinis that are already bottled to go! Yes we did. read more

Sister restaurant to an Italian spot in the north end, we came in for a late Saturday night dinner in March. The place was still full with great vibes and our waitress helped us plan out the perfect meal (as did our table neighbors haha). Comes with bread and we ordered the calamari as an app--of note it does not come with sauce (a little strange) so our waitress recommended the marinara sauce which MADE the dish for an extra $3. Served with delish roasted red peppers. We also got the chicken parm and asked for bolognese sauce for the pasta side it comes with (no additional charge) which !hot take! we generally felt was a little over hyped. Overall, we prefer a couple other spots in the area but it still was worth stopping by! read more

Cheers to 9 Years, Tonno -- and to Many More! We absolutely love Tonno -- it's one of our favorite restaurants in Gloucester, and we're so excited when Anthony Caturano, Owner/Chef announced his upcoming expansion upstairs for private dining and special events! We've been regulars for years and have also used their catering for office functions, which have always been top notch. Most recently, we hosted a small home gathering to watch the Greasy Pole and wanted to focus on enjoying time with friends. Tonno's catering was the perfect solution. Joe and Ashley were amazing -- they helped us select the right amount and mix of food, and their guidance was spot-on. Everything was seamless from start to finish. When I arrived for pickup, I was warmly greeted by two runners who loaded everything right into my car. The food was beautifully and securely packaged, still hot, and thoughtfully wrapped to keep it that way -- a small detail that made a big difference. As for the food? Absolutely delicious! From their signature bolognese with homemade shortcut rigatoni, to the grilled octopus, breaded chicken cutlets, meatballs, fresh salad, and garlic bread -- there wasn't a bite left. Every dish was a hit. Huge thanks to the chef and entire kitchen staff who made our order feel special despite it being such a busy weekend. You all made my day easier and left our guests raving once again about Tonno. Happy Anniversary, and here's to many more incredible meals and memories to come! Cheers! Gayle read more

I came here to sample their Sunday Sauce spaghetti with meatball and sausage. I'd read some good reviews and having been raised in an Italian household with my mother's Sunday sauce of meatballs, sausage or bracciole, I decided to put it to the test. I was extremely pleasantly surprised at how authentic it is. Highly recommend! Very good service as well. Might drive down from Portsmouth just to try some other items on the menu. read more

Tonno is a place I always stop when I'm in the local area. They have a great bar with innovative drinks and a menu that is to die for. Whether you're a solo traveler for business a couple looking for a night out or a group searching for dinner they have something for everyone. My sister and I visited for bar bites from 3-5 and also had some $1 oysters during this special. The Bolognese fettuccine is the best I have ever had and I've traveled all over and consistently eat out in the North End of Boston. This place is a gem and holds up against any place I've been to for Italian. It should not be missed read more

@amyeatsanddrinks Wonderful first dining experience at Tonno. Our server Kierra (sp?) was efficient and accommodating to our party of 6.

We went to Gloucester on 4th of July to tour the Hammond castle. We ended up at Tonno's afterwards since it was pretty much the only restaurant opened that evening. The place was packed but they still managed to accommodate our party of five. The food was very good! Everything tasted nice and fresh, and delicious! My mom got the Boneless Half Chicken, Garlic Pan Sauce & Roasted Potato which was espectacular- the sauce really makes the dish and the chicken was tenter and flavorful. My aunt got the Chicken Milanese, Arugula Salad, Tomato, Cucumber dish was also very good. The chicken was cooked to perfection. My sister got a Caesar salad with salmon. The salmon was perfect and a nice size. I got the pasta special with lobster which did not disappoint! It was creamy, flavorful and good a good amount of fresh lobster chunks! We also tried the cocktails which were very nice. The service was 5 stars. Even with a full house, our server was very attentive and the food came out timely. Everyone was very friendly and you could tell stay on top of everything. I would definitely recommend! I'm from Virginia but if ever in the area again, I would go back. read more

We have ordered pickup a number of times from Tonno when staying in Gloucester and decided to try it for dinner on a Monday night. Our reservation was early and the restaurant had a good crowd though not as busy as when we left. We opted for indoor seating though they have a nice spacious outdoor coveted area. Indoors is bright, understated but nicely decorated: modern with two rooms with exposed brick. Our waitress was excellent: friendly and attentive but not overly so. Small basket of ciabatta and focaccia served with olive oil was very good. Our cocktails were superb. We had ordered their flatbread in a recent pickup order and it was excellent so decided to start with this. In the past, we have had the meatball app, garlic bread and arancini and all were excellent. Salad options are few and the Caesar was just average with romaine served entirely too large. I would not reorder. Our entrees were surprisingly disappointing. It was not that busy so it was surprising that both were overcooked. I'm not sure how chicken parm gets overcooked in a popular Italian restaurant but it was. Great potential and the perfect size but the chicken was dry and not tender. The same with my husband's pork chop entree. Both were disappointing after a great start and our prior experiences here. Any restaurant can have an off night so I'll chalk it up to that. It was just surprising after our prior experiences ordering takeout. We enjoyed dining inside and our waitress was great but I think in the future, we will stick with apps and some awesome drinks at the bar. read more
