Favorite restaurant, hands down! Excellent service, incredible food, extensive wine list and a fantastic, intimate bistro setting just off Portland's Old Port! Genuine Northern Italian fare rather than the amalgamized version found at bigger restaurants, the wine list was entirely Italian and paired perfectly with the menu at all price points, and the atmosphere, though somewhat simple, makes perfect use of the small space. The staff is extremely knowledgable and ready with recommendations and suggestions, and encourage you to dine, not feed.
This is dining in an Old World style: call ahead for reservations, expect a little wait for your table, expect time between courses to digest, and ask the servers for their input, they won't steer you wrong. Do not, however, expect troughs of pasta and singing birthdays...anticipate, instead the wonderfully flavored meal you're about to enjoy...
Pros: Wine List, Service, Menu
Cons: Accessiblity, Parking
