This was an unexpectedly delightful experience! We were staying in Camden and didn’t realize how quickly restaurants filled up on a Sunday night when many places were closed. Instead, we opted for a short drive up the road for a late dinner here.
The restaurant itself is gorgeous. From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was going to be something special. From the decor and ambiance to the views of the river I felt like I was in a more sophisticated restaurant.
Wayne took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. It was extra special that we had the opportunity to meet and chat with the chef who was so warm and gracious.
Finally, the food! I selected a Blueberry Thriller Mocktail which I loved. It is so nice when restaurants have an actual mocktail menu – it really shows them going the extra mile. Bread (warm and fresh) came out quickly along with dipping oil. So good that I didn’t wantvto stop eating, but needed to leave room. The husband and I split the rollatini and the gnocchi pesto. Both were fantastic, but the eggplant rollatini really blew me away. All of the food we tried was fresh, delicious, and worth the cost (which honestly was not that bad comparatively).
Highly, highly recommend stopping here for a meal.

Definitely a 5/5. You know it’s going to be a great experience at an Italian restaurant when everyone appeared to be Italian. From the accent to the hospitality! Very good service. Beautifully presented dishes and a bowl of fresh grated cheese at your disposal! Complimentary bread with oil was served. The bolognese was excellent and I had the ravioli in a cream mushroom sauce. For dessert the limoncello cake was moist and delicious.

If you like quality food this place it is a must to eat. The fine dining and the service table is exceptional, it is so private and elegant inside. The taste of the food is great, you have a great variety and the price is worth it.
We will be back!

Chef’s kiss. The ambience and the food were amazing. Both pasta dishes were delicious. The cream sauce of the chicken fettuccine was so delicate yet flavorful. The cannoli was superb. The texture of the filling and the surprise of the orange zest was beautiful. Who knew this little gem was hidden in Maine. Wonderful service too!

The food was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were also perfect. You can feel that the ingredients are of very high quality and that they are used very well. Our server, Ariel, did a very good job and made sure that the experience was as good as the food.
Highly recommended. If you are passing by this area, don’t miss this restaurant.

Been here twice in the same week because the first time was absolutely amazing. First time I had the special region fix menu ($49.90/ 3 course meal) super worth it everything was so fresh and flavorful. Second time in I was with some friends, they are vegetarian and our server did a great job accomodating their requests. I had the Gnocchi, which to be honest it wasn’t mind blowing for me as the other dishes I tried. The agnolotti di vitello was AMAZING. Also, the second time I was there they had a pistachio cannoli on special it was ABDOLUTELLY AMAZING, the best cannoli I ever had. Can’t wait to be back.
PS: I can’t recommend their amaretto sour enough, they make their amaro in house.

Loved this dining experience. Excellent service which made the dining exceptional. Quality ingredients. We loved every dish & appetizer. We had lunch. Looking forward to returning for dinner. Can’t speak highly enough for the attentive, low key, high quality service.

Overall we had a very pleasant dinner. We came early, just before a small dinner push. The staff was very friendly and the food was amazing. The octopus was the best my husband has ever had anywhere.

My wife and I stopped into this hidden gem this evening.
Immediately upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly, very personable bartender/hostess. We were worried about them being closed (or closing soon) due to the poor Maine weather, but she made us feel welcomed and, dare I say, warm. A great first impression.
Our waiter, Wayne, was beyond perfect. He was friendly, offered suggestions, had a great sense of humor, and was very patient with me. He was also attending but not overbearing. A great example is when my wife and I finished our bread and oil while waiting for our appetizer. He brought more bread because he “knew we would want it to mop up the sauce from our mussels.” He was 100% correct!
All this is great, but the absolute highlight is the food.
For the appetizer, we shared the Cozze Alla Sambuca (mussels ). Cooked perfectly! We literally used the bread to wipe every last ounce of the Sambuca herb sauce out of the bottom of the bowl. (Good call, Wayne!)
My wife ordered the Chitarrucci Frutti Di Mare (seafood in a garlic tomato herb sauce over squid ink pasta). Every piece of seafood was cooked perfectly. I helped myself to a few “samples,” and the shrimp was some of the best I’ve had in a while.
I ordered the Salmone Alla Mostarda (salmon in a creamy mustard sauce). Dear God! I’m old, and I love salmon; this is the best salmon I’ve ever eaten! When I go to restaurants, I tend to try different foods every time. When (not if) we go to Ports of Italy again, I’m getting the salmon again. Wow!
We finished the meal off with dessert. My wife got the chocolate tart and I got the tiramisu. We were both pretty stuffed at this point, but these both went down easy. If you like dense chocolate desserts, my wife gave the tart a great review. If you like a lighter dessert, the tiramisu is the way to go. Delicious!
Long story short, this is a great place. I highly recommend it. We will certainly be back!
Thank you!
