Owners Nancy and Vinny Chiuchiolo opened the restaurant when the economy threw them a life-changing curveball back in 2009, when both lost their jobs. It was then that they decided to completely change careers, and open up a small breakfast place in Wakefield.

Nancy Chiuchiolo said the restaurant has made a name for itself using only the freshest, never frozen, ingredients for their breakfast and lunch options, such as french toast, omelettes, wraps and paninis - the kind of home-cooking style that's hard to find in restaurants.

"Our food is made with all fresh ingrediants with no additives," said Chiuchiolo, noting that people stop in after workouts for a fresh egg-white omlette. "It feels like we're inviting them right into our home."

But Chiuchiolo said what makes Blue Moon Grill unique is the family-like feel they strive to create.

"It's small, so when people come in, we know them, we know their family, we know their favorite drink, and with new people, we make sure to welcome them to our home," she said.
