I would be remiss if I did not give Nonno a review after my wife and I's experience. First, to gather a bit of ethos—and in doing so, explain how I am a snob—I have traveled to 20 countries across Europe, have eaten at Michelin Star restaurants, and have tried diverse cuisine from all corners, and I must say, Nonno not only stands out but is hands-down one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Between the atmosphere, the amazing host—and his brilliant playlist—the skillful/talented mixologists behind the bar (Tom and Anderson), and the sweetest waitress, we were just stunned by how perfect everything was. It was our first wedding anniversary, and they made it more memorable than it ever would've been with their hospitality and genuine care.
Regarding the food, the octopus was exquisite. There are no words to describe the chef’s touch, as they brought perfect balance to the meal in the most unique fashion; so much so that I was genuinely at a loss for words. Again, I have been lucky enough to eat octopus in Malta—where it is a delicacy and the national dish—this dish did not only stay on par with that, but was better than some of those Michelin Star establishments. Between the cocktails, the food, and the service, the experience was brilliant. I will surely be back, as it is now my favorite on this side of the Atlantic, and among the top five restaurants I have ever been to. Well...

Read moreIf ever there was a place that deserved to be called a hidden gem, the Nonno Pizza Cucina & Bar is it. Tucked in a small plaza next to a pawn shop at the far end of Main Street in Hyannis, Nonno sports a simple facade that belies the exquisite dining experience that awaits within. The restaurant, according to its own website, “pays homage to the rich history of Italian immigrants who settled in South Brazil.” That homage reveals itself in the food, the craft cocktails, and the elegant decor.
On the night we went, the restaurant was offering a special Valentine’s Day menu that included such offerings as eggplant lasagna, octopus and sausage risotto, arancina, and filet mignon. But we opted for several different versions of their unique pizzas. They were amazing. Our choices included the shrimp and catupiry pizza, the pepperoni pizza, and the calabrese pizza. Each was fantastic, offering wonderful flavors and melt in your mouth crusts. Most impressive of all were the craft cocktails they offered, which were like nothing we’ve had before. One of them was even made using a blowtorch! We won’t say more about them here, but we invite you to watch this video that shows how they were constructed. Bottom line, they tasted great and looked like works of art, which they are....
