After a winter that seemed colder and longer and darker than any we had experienced in a decade, Nantucket’s celebration of spring this week promises to be particularly joyful. One of our favorite traditions for welcoming the change of season is a visit to American Seasons. There’s a comforting, homey […]

Sophie T’s – New Tastes and Island Favorites
As we opened the door into Sophie T’s the aromas of garlic, freshly baked crust, and sausage, wafted over us into the night air. Italian comfort food is the perfect choice for a chilly evening, and Sophie Ts makes some of the best on the island. We had a large […]
Thai House – One Visit is Not Enough
You have to be careful when you go to dinner at the Thai House: it’s far too easy to over-order. You might arrive intending to start with the Spring Rolls, but then you see they also serve Beef Teriyaki and Shrimp Tempura and Crab Rangoons and Egg Drop Soup and […]

They’ve been streaming in ever since for delicious homemade Italian food that is seasoned with memories, cooked with love, and served with pride. Fusaro’s Restaurant truly is a family […]
