Primo Description:
A world-class restaurant inside a restored Victorian home in coastal Maine serving farm fresh food. Reservations are recommended.
Take a tour of the grounds before repairing to the comfortable upstairs bar, where you can sample wood-fired pizzas (toppings change daily) or a simple, oh-so-Italian bread-based fish soup. Downstairs, the small rooms create an intimacy that chef Melissa Kelly's contemporary Mediterranean cuisine only enhances. Dishes like the wood-grilled New York strip steak (which comes straight from a local, grass-fed herd), served with spicy cress and roasted beets from just a few feet away, bring to mind a meal you'd linger over in some small Tuscan hill town, while local halibut with buttercup squash risotto and pumpkinseed pesto bursts with freshness. The wine list delves extensively into Italian wine country; you'd do well to delve into dessert. Co-owner Price Kushner soothes the savage sweet tooth with creations like lemon verbena-scented crème brûlée alongside limoncello-soaked semolina cake---a fitting, fulfilling end to your trip through Italy on the rocky Maine coast.
