- PPamGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 10, 2024Our servier, Noemie was fantastic! She was very attentive but not intrusive. She got our orders accurately and our drinks throughout our meal were served promptly. The person who brought our drinks and dessert was also very attentive. It may have been the owner, not sure. It was our anniversary and they brought a complimentary glass of champagne for each of us which was a lovely gesture. The food was also amazing. We will definitely go back.More infoNuovo RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Worcester•4.5

Discover Central MA
Massachusetts is loaded with great cities and wonderful food. From Boston baked beans to classic corn chowder, there are a range of tastes to enjoy. Fans of seafood will have to try the lobster, but did you know you can get killer barbecue in Central Massachusetts? Don't forget the Pilgrim tradition; the good folks of Sturbridge are happy to feed you a meal rich in heritage and teach you how to make real maple syrup. Of course, you'll need something sweet to finish your food journey, so Amherst invites you to their bakery crawl for fresh-baked pastries and fluffy doughnuts.
