Absolutely AMAZING food!!!! Great and friendly staff as well!! We got the shrimp & polenta, and calamari appetizer, the Cavatelli Saltimbocca and baked penne for dinner, and the crème brûlée and tiramisu for dessert!! I’ve had Italian from California to Italy itself and this was by far one of the best meals I’ve had! Highly recommend!

Listen! When I moved to Maine from the good ole food capital of the U.S. down south in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, etc. I would have never expected to find the best Italian food place that I’ve ever eaten at in my life. This place is LEGIT! Last night I took my girlfriend and she got baked Italian sausage pasta dish, I got the shrimp pasta meal, and as you can see from my picture every time I go here to eat I also order a PIZZA to go so I can enjoy this place the next day. I know it’s going to be a good day at work because I have a Rustica goat cheese pepperoni pizza in my passenger seat. 10 stars! 2 thumbs up! Best restaurant in Maine so far!

Food was fine. Unfortunately the staff apparently mixed up our packaged leftovers with a to-go order and sent our food out with someone who was picking up their order.

Excellent traditional Italian cuisine. Friendly atmosphere. We ordered Suppli and a speciality pie to start and Crispy Parm and Saltimbocca for a dinner entrées. Capped off our delicious meal with shots of limoncello and cannolis to go.

My husband has been craving Italian cuisine all week and we decided to try this place. Even without a reservation, they were able to seat us immediately on a busy night. The service was friendly and quick. My husband said these were the best meatballs that he’s ever had. The fettuccine alfredo was delicious. Of course, the olive oil for the bread was delicious too. Wine is available by the glass or bottle. They offer specialty cocktails and local beers as well.

I know the food is good when my wife starts rocking back and forth in her chair like the rainman. If someone is complaining about this place it isn’t about the food. I just ate their summer risotto special and it was knock out good. The spaghetti and meatballs were amazing as well.
