“First time in beautiful Portland Maine, the five of us coming from Indiana were looking for some new local eats. Blocks away from where we’re staying was Anthony’s Italian Kitchen. Walked into a warming Italian atmosphere and greeted instantly by the owners smile and welcoming ambience. He handed us menus with content and grace. I proceeded to ask what he recommended. In short words he said Spaghetti & Meatballs, Eggplant Parmesan, or the Lasagna mentioning everything was made in house/homemade, I was thrilled for authentic cuisine! I ordered the Spaghetti & Meatballs per his recommendation, as he told me multiple times how much I will LOVE it. Waiting on my food I admired the radiance of the restaurant and getting joyous for a meal that I longed for all day. The moment came and I ate. He was absolutely right! One of the best Spaghetti & Meatballs dishes I’ve ever eaten/tasted. It was so amazing, two others in my party also got Spaghetti & Meatballs that they thoroughly expressed how delicious our first meal was in Maine. Thank you for making our first meal one to remember and being so kind and welcoming. A++++! I would come back for more deliciousness and chats.“

“After a disappointing meal at one Portland's most heralded restaurants on Friday, we were delighted with the better service and food at Roma. Our party of five couldn't pick apart any of our menu choices. Drinks, mocktails, appetizers and main meals were all great. Only one person had room for dessert--and said the cheesecake was delicious. Roma should be on your regular rotation if you dine out in Portland.“

“Warm, friendly, cozy, and, delicious, delicious, delicious. Our group of four Boston culinary adventurers had the pleasure of dining at Ribollita on this weekend of historic coastal flooding.Selected by me representing the vegetarian segment for the white bean hazelnut ravioli, it was a pleasant discovery to learn that the restaurant namesake was also vegetarian, sadly not even promoted as same. All of us ordered the ribollita and almost ordered seconds.Worth noting we also ordered one carafe each of the “house” red and white wine which was perfect for the meal.Great place and we can’t wait to return.John and JonVegetarian options: Our server was extremely helpful in helping us navigate our vegetarian dietary preferences since the menu is not particularly clear.“

But still a great local pizza place with crispy, flavorful crust and good selection of toppings. Good local beer selection as well. Service was a bit slow, but they were quite busy just before Christmas.“
