    Our server, Aleena, was so nice! Food was great, I never come here without getting the fried pickle chips (and they never disappoint!). Very allergen friendly and I appreciate how many GF options there are! Drinks are on a pricier side… It was also very busy for a Wednesday night.

    We have dined at Nuovo in Worcester, MA on occasion during the past 12 years, and they have never disappointed. The food quality and service are excellent, as they were when we dined there on June 6, 2025. Our waitress was superb, and the food, wonderful. However, the prices, particularly for drinks has become excessive (as they are in most good restaurants) when added to the overall bill, but we will continue to dine here (at least on special occasions) because of the food quality and service. We recommend them for special occasions.

    Cocktail Garden and Kitchen is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Worcester. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed into an atmosphere that’s warm, stylish, and full of personality—just like the owners, Diogo and TIBES, who are truly the heart and soul of this gem. The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Every dish is crafted with creativity and love. The fried yuca was perfectly crisp, the baked cheese dip rich and comforting, and the meatballs in tomato sauce were packed with flavor. The dessert—oh my!—was both stunning and delicious, with tropical flavors and a presentation worthy of a magazine cover. And let’s not forget the cocktails, especially the espresso martini, which was smooth and indulgent. Diogo and TIBES make the experience feel personal, like you’re a guest in their home. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality elevate this place from great to spectacular. If you’re looking for an incredible meal, a vibrant vibe, and hosts who treat you like family, Cocktail Garden and Kitchen is it. Can’t wait to come back!
