Named for the Puccini opera of the same name, Tosca, from its picturesque perch on Hingham Harbor, infuses its Italian-inspired menu with fresh New England flavors and local, seasonal ingredients.

Built in the 1910 Granary Marketplace building, the award-winning restaurant boasts a theatrical setting with exposed brick, imported tiles, mahogany woods and an open kitchen where award-winning Chef Kevin Long takes center stage. With its visionary design and delectable culinary offerings, Tosca transports diners from the South Shore to a Tuscan farmhouse with a true manorial aura.
