Nonna

Nonna only offers lunch each Friday from 11:30 till 2, which is quite frightening for those on a mission to eat every lobster roll in the city. This warning came from the chef at Carbone's during lunch on Thursday. Having absolutely loved everything about Carbone's, I couldn't wait to meet Julian Barsotti, the chef & owner of both.
