We started with the mussels and two of the house salads and they were both delicious. Our waitress was very helpful in helping us narrow down what we wanted to eat. The sauce with the mussels was so good. We all go the same pasta dish- house made white wine and mushroom sauce which was incredible. The star of the show was their chocolate mousse which was some of the best we have had in a long time!

Help yourself to what is in the cooler. Grab a bag of chips. Grab a beverage from the cooler…read more Pay at the counter. No service. No printed receipt. Tips assumed at point of sale are 20%, 25%, or 30%. Food is similar to what I have seen in gas stations and corporate self-serve cafeteria - only more expensive, and no one at the self-serve asked for a tip. There are places to sit and eat what was purchased. There are large windows to watch the activity on the street while eating, so there is that.

They were very busy and we didn't have a reservation, we were seated outside because that's all they had left - we were perfectly okay and happy with this. Our server was very sweet and attentive, I wish I could remember her name! Outside was beautiful and there were fresh flowers everywhere, the food was yummy and the overall vibes were super romantic. We will be back if we're ever nearby again for sure. Also, the food was DELICIOUS. And the blueberry margarita was so refreshing and tasty!

We loved her. The food, though, was just... fine. I'm a big pasta and sauce person, and while everything was perfectly decent, it didn't quite live up to the hype we'd heard going in. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. My espresso martini was good, but nothing special. That said, the building itself is charming and a little eccentric in a good way. I can definitely see how the experience would be elevated in warmer weather--sitting out on the patio overlooking the river would be a big plus. Overall, a good night thanks to great service and atmosphere, but the food didn't quite wow us.

I was so eager to dig in before sharing with my daughters and mom while my husband and I drove back to our hotel. The pasta was INCREDIBLE!!! It would've tasted out of this world if we dined in house. We ordered the AGNOLOTTI, FETTUCCINE VERDI ALLA CAROLINA, TAGLIATELLE ALLA BOLOGNESE, and POLPETTINE DI CARNE. The veal ravioli was absolutely delicious, the mushroom and sauce really elevated the veal. Ravioli was cooked perfectly. My mom and husband also enjoyed their dish. The bolognese sauce was on the more tarte taste but my husband liked it that way. My moms fettuccine was perfect. My daughter is a picky eater but kept asking my mom for more!!! The meatballs were moist but could use more seasoning. Overall, food was delicious. Service was inviting. Cant wait to visit again in the near future!!

Starting with Caesar salad choice of salty or marinated anchovies, zippy dressing, and full leaves of romaine. The bread in a paper bag and herbed olive oil is great-- and still no bread service charge! Pastas were great from fettuccini to chitarrucci frutti de mare. Limoncello cake, baked in house, was also spectacular and a fine ending to an exceptional meal. My new Italian go-to place on Midcoast.

The waitstaff was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We started with the fried artichoke salad which was served on a bed of mixed greens with thinly sliced fennel, orange wedges and the lightly fried artichokes all tossed in a light and refreshing citrus vinaigrette. Do NOT miss this salad! It was a perfect starter. Hubby had the cavatelli saltimboca (off the menu) that was salty, cheesy, creamy and delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect and the diced chicken and fresh baby spinach were perfect additions to this dish. I had the risotto special that was with grilled chicken, garlic butter shrimp, lightly sautéed zucchini and tomatoes all in a perfectly buttery cheesy risotto. We ended our dinner with tiramisu and creme brûlée. Outstanding! Highly recommend this Italian Restaurant for a great meal!

This place could be a goldmine for the owner on food and location alone. Inside the restaurant feels like a divorce. Half the restaurant is red and half is white. It should all be red and black. Put a tv behind the bar and you'll have a wait every night.

The greens were tough and took up most of the salad. Other than beats and a couple of bits of onion and a few olives there was anything else in it. They brought it to us without dressing but when we ask dressing was brought to us quickly. Because the pasta and mushroom dish was so superb, we felt we had to give a five star rating. It is that special!!

I've been to Delvino's multiple times. Was there last night- food great, service was good. But…read moreambiance was lacking. Mainly due to it being SO hot in the building. We overheard that the A/C was out, which I would've appreciated knowing before we were sat. Even with a reservation they placed us at a table that felt very cramped - so that coupled with the heat led to a less than stellar dining experience. While I will be back, but I will not be back in the summer/a hot day.

What an incredible farm-to-table meal at Primo in Rockland!…read moreThe setting is fantastic--it feels like an old home that has been beautifully converted into a restaurant. Each level has its own personality, with just a handful of tables in each room and different décor throughout. And the food? Amazing. The portions are just the right size--perfect for sharing...or for holding onto your plate so nobody else gets a bite! Everything we had was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The staff really puts the experience over the top. Extremely friendly, sociable, knowledgeable, and more than willing to offer some excellent recommendations. Make your reservation WELL in advance. With an atmosphere this unique, fantastic farm-to-table food, and service you'd expect from a Michelin-level restaurant, it's no surprise Primo fills up fast. Can't wait to get back to Rockland--and Primo will absolutely be on the itinerary!

My wife and I have been celebrating as many anniversaries as we can at Primo. With the exception of…read more2020 and 2025 we haven't missed a year. However. This year made us realize that this is our last year. It was our 25th and we were looking forward to it. It started with the hostess who was annoyed that we showed up 7 minutes early for our reservation and told us they were running on time and to take a walk in the garden and come back at the exact time of our reservation. Which we did. We were seated by the manager who seemed impatient. He handed us the menus and walked off. A detail I didn't consider until I noticed that the other manger handed the menus and went over some drink specials and menu specials. Our server was nice in the beginning although seemingly distracted. We found out a little later they had a wedding party upstairs and the kitchen was behind. We didn't mind because we were there for the experience as much as the food. However as the night rolled on and things took longer and longer, the staff seemed more and more annoyed with us for ordering our meal. By the end of the meal, our server asked if we wanted a cheese or dessert service and seemed very annoyed when we said yes. At this point we were 2 1/2 hours in and they wanted us out. However, we were still there because it had taken so long for our service and food. In the end we split a strawberry shortcake, which was very good, I had a coffee, and we got out of there. They wanted us out and we didn't want to stay any more. What is sad is we have been celebrating our anniversary for 20 years there as often as we can and this, our 25th was the worse experience we have ever had and we won't return. It broke our hearts.

We shared a delightful bottle of Chardonnay and wonderful flavorful spinach dip. There are lunch specials that offer smaller portions of popular dishes - complete with salad or soup. After binging on the most amazing bread I was glad I went for the house salad. Wayne had the minestrone soup. My entree was shrimp scampi with cherry tomatoes & mushrooms - and of course shrimp, garlic, and great pasta. Wayne had Chicken Amore which, after he found the sausage was very yummy! Also - the lunch portions are smaller and we still have leftovers. Although, we did save room to share a crème brûlée. Service was excellent, we will happily come back!
