WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington’s newest restaurant — Tremezzo Ristorante — was featured on the latest episode of NESN’s “Wicked Bites,” a weekly TV show that highlights restaurants from across New England that are considered to be the best spots for “sports, food and fun.”
Correspondent Leigh Gilmore visited Tremezzo to interview Chef & Owner James Martin. Martin discussed the restaurant’s concept and highlighted several of the most popular menu items, including neopolitian pizza, fried calamari, melanzana fritta, center cut rib eye, and veal chops. Martin stressed that everything is made in house, including ten types of pasta. He mentioned the restaurant’s signature drinks include an inhouse sangria and a pineapple infused crystal head vodka.
“I don’t think Wilmington has ever seen the type of food that we have,” said Martin.
Gilmore then visited with Martin and Chef Obarr Lemos in the kitchen to help them each prepare a meal. Martin made a porcini tortelonni while Lemos made a “brunch pizza.”
Don’t watch this 4-minute segment on an empty stomach! The restaurant earned rave reviews from the show. Gilmore said the food “was to die for” and the restaurant was “gorgeous.” Co-host Mike Wendt noted that the food was “phenomenal” and declared that Martin was a great chef. Co-host Scott Whitley said he loved all of the restaurant’s food, which he referred to as “works of art” because of their “incredible” presentation.
