Restaurant Scene
Please welcome the newest member of the SMAMS restaurant scene, Tavolo Ristorante's Nuno Alves.
Nuno, former sous chef at Rialto in Cambridge, replaces Max Thompson, who has departed the Tavolo kitchen after three years in order to travel.
"The culinary team that Chris Douglass has assembled at Tavolo is outstanding," says Nuno. "My goal is make Tavolo even more warm and inviting; like visiting my own home. We'll also tread deeper into whole-animal cookery at Tavolo, as well as healthy cooking with more vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes to choose from."
