We went to Tonno on Main St in Gloucester last Monday specifically to try the Petit Portions entrees. It was very quiet when we stopped in, largely due to darkness crashing down so darn early the day after the time change…..and….Monday….Anyhow, the quiet atmosphere did not diminish the experience in any way. The service (as always) was outstanding (shout out to Lindsey and others) and the food spot on delicious. We ordered garlic bread, a salad, chicken parmesan and Sunday Sauce. The portions are perfectly sized for finishing your plate….no steps lost in the preparation or presentation. We also ordered Irish coffee and cannolis so we could linger a bit. A wonderfun Monday evening dinner outing, thanks to Tonno!

Good morning Pat…hope you are doing well. Can you post the following photo and words in Good Morning Gloucester? Thank you!
“Footbridge to the Heavens”…There are many beautiful places on Cape Ann but this place is a favorite. Even before sunrise there are many cars lined up by the Good Harbor footbridge to watch mother nature’s show. It was a cloudy morning and golden clouds mixed in with the patches of blue sky. The soft light enhanced the colors of the footbridge with some nice reflections on the inlet. The Sherman Cottage loomed in the distance on the right and Salt Island and Thacher Island lighthouse and homes could be seen in the distance on the left. There even was a single egret looking for its next meal. Enjoy!

Sometimes it feels like the door slams shut pretty quickly once Halloween is over. It’s dark at 430p now, and we have our first legit cold blast lurking about a week out. Cold season start your engines. -From Eric Fisher WBZ

They just flat out execute. and while the food is so good and service is so spot on things don’t get talked about enough- like how incredible their steak tips are. You don’t think of them as a strictly steak tip joint because EVERYTHING is so good but you ought to give them a try- just sayin.

Cold Chocolate, a Boston-based duo that calls itself “a genre-bending Americana band,” makes its Cape Ann debut on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m., as part of the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation’s 10th Anniversary series of concerts, lectures, silent movies and more. The location is the landmark 1806 Meetinghouse that is Gloucester’s oldest standing church and the home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church.
With Ethan Robbins on vocals, guitar and mandolin and Ariel Bernstein on vocals, percussion and banjo, Cold Chocolate fuses folk, funk and bluegrass and has released five albums. Simon Waxman of The Boston Review wrote that Cold Chocolate’s high energy and original music “sounds softer than the dew on the mountainside, harder than a Harley pushing back red dust, and sweeter than true love.”
With music for all ages, the band has shared bills with Leftover Salmon, David Grisman and Angelique Kidjo, and performed at festivals across the country. Tickets are available at the door and online with more information at: www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org. General admission is $30, students $10, under age 12 free.
The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church is located at 50 Middle Street in Gloucester. Parking is available on the Green in front of the Meetinghouse and at other locations in the Historic District. The side entrance at 10 Church Street offers elevator access.
The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church started its history as the first Universalist church in America in 1779, a rebellious congregation that played an important role in the quest for religious freedom as enshrined in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The architecturally significant building predates lighthouses on Cape Ann and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is an independent, secular nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to the historic building’s preservation and its use for and by the Cape Ann community.
