I suspect that Hug’s has a loyal, local following who like the comfy atmosphere of the dining room and the nicely prepared old-school Italian-American fare. That the decorous touches are a tad kitschy with scenes in Italian murals depicting canals and byways, as such, it’s certainly the only restaurant of the genre in Falmouth.
Our little group of 5 wound up there by default on a recent Sunday night. We were all in the mood for a cheesy Parm and pasta dinner with a comfort-food drenching of Sunday sauce.

Our first choice was Bruno’s, which is still the best of the lot for this kind of home-style cooking. But, alas, they’re closed on Sundays. Espo’s or Casa Novello were not options since no one wanted to go to either. Anjon’s in Scarborough was briefly considered but nixed for being too far. And Rose’s along Route 302 in Windham, which I’ve been to and liked, was a distant choice, too.
