A restaurant with a well-known name behind it will be opening within a massive new bayside development in Hingham in the spring of 2010.
According to The Launch at Hingham Shipyard site, Alma Nove will be opening in the redeveloped Hingham Shipyard, with Paul Wahlberg behind the place. Paul Wahlberg is the brother of music and movie stars Mark and Donnie Wahlberg and has been the executive chef at the highly-rated Bridgeman's across from Nantasket Beach in Hull. A press release from The Launch at Hingham Shipyard indicates that Alma Nove will feature a mix of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine.
[January 21, 2010 update: According to the Boston Globe, the original location for Alma Nove didn't work out, but the new location (unlike the old one) will be on the water, with a capacity of well over 100 and a wood-fired oven within the place.]
[June 4 update: According to an article in The Patriot Ledger, Alma Nove will be opening this weekend.]
The Launch at Hingham Shipyard, when complete, will be well 1 million square feet in size and will include dining, entertainment, shopping, and recreation options, along with a number of luxury condos available.
