Waterview restaurants on the Cape & Islands
Soprano’s Casino by the Sea
A Cape Cod landmark has a new restaurant to continue its 50-year history of food service. The owners of the popular Soprano’s Ristorante in Mashpee are expanding to this breathtaking spot on Grand Avenue in Falmouth. Executive Chef George Brown will be offering his Italian specialties enjoyed at their other location as well as daily specials. Serving dinner and lunch daily, the new restaurant offers diners an unparalleled opportunity for waterfront dining, with views of Martha’s Vineyard in the distance. This historic spot has been the finish line for the Falmouth Road Race for decades, as well as one of the most sought after viewing spots for the annual Fourth of July fireworks. Whether cheering on runners, celebrating the country’s independence, or wrapping up a day at the quiet public beach next door, a visit to the Casino embodies the ultimate Cape Cod experience. When the sun goes down, enjoy live entertainment—their valet parking service makes the evening hassle-free. Reservations suggested.
