The first and main thing I reacted to is the staff. very blase , not unfriendly , but not much effort to welcome and engage guests. The bread that is served as complimentary appetizer , with olive oil on the table, was just plain white bread. Not crusty, not a baguette, nothing special. I ordered a pasta dish that was described as being in a creamy white wine lemon sauce, but it was thick and like Alfredo, and no taste of lemon Not Terrible, but not a treat either. And staff is lacking. I ate the night before at "In Good Company " , and the food and service were far superior.

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!!

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 really wanted to love this bakery after speaking with mom and daughter team and their ancestors…read morefrom Avellino Italy and Irpinia. We custom ordered a pumpkin ginger loaf with hazelnuts and looked forward to enjoying it. We picked it up on Thursday and ate a slice on Friday. Besides the loaf being badly overcooked and burnt, this caused us some stomach insertion and discomfort. Not sure why but they are so kind so this is not my first choice. Nevertheless this should not have been sold to us if they care about all customers, locals and tourist alike, like we were. I decided to have a second slice this morning to see if Friday's stomach discomfort was a fluke but again the same thing happened. We just tossed the loaf into the garbage can. No hate just love but apparently the $10.99 ($8.99 plus $2.00 tip) means more to them than their reputation. Sorry but you left us no choice. Good luck and wish you well!

I am still coming down from my very expensive non palatable evening…read more The best thing was their focaccia and gelato Everything else- mediocre to just not pleasant. Oxtail had flavor if there was any meat. I literally had to pick up the bone and eat around the crevice to get any meat. Gnawed on the bone at the table. Though I did share, so maybe I got the non meaty pieces. Steak salad?? Yes the minuscule beef was flavorful, but oh my, disappointing. Cabbage salad with warm bacon was tasty. Large and sloppy. Wine paring recommended literally was not on par. Too light and too acidic for the meal. I tried, but gave up. Ambiance was nice, server was very attentive. But a birthday meal for 2 at $220? No- not worth it. I had to tip 20% on the meal, not the $70 bottle of wine. Not going back. No thank you

I visited on a Friday night last month with two friends, and Nina June was everything we'd hoped it…read morewould be! Other friends have raved about it and it's easy to see why this is a special place. Since we were booked for 8:30pm and it was the solstice, we had the good fortune of wandering out on the deck with our delicious cocktails to watch the sunset. The view is absolutely glorious out over the water--honestly you can't do better than this for summer perfection! Back at our table, we commenced to order all of the following to share: *house-made sourdough bread: this is not ordinary bread; it incorporated smoked paprika and fennel pollen somehow and was served soft and warm; if I had this daily I would be in heaven *steamed mussels: plump little salt/brine bombs with the perfect tender-just-ever-so-slightly-bouncy bite *little gem salad: basically their version of a wedge salad so OF COURSE we were getting it, and then we fought over the last of the roasted bacon croutons *3 pasta dishes: a lamb pappardelle, goat cheese ravioli, and pasta al limone with Maine crab meat (every single bite of every single one was delicious but the al limone with crab was out of this world) *halibut: yes we all just had pasta mains but no way were we passing up halibut in season; this was a lovely bright spring presentation with white beans, cucumber, and a tomato vinaigrette and cooked to perfection *dessert round! Even though we were full we made room for espressos, a chocolate gelato, and rhubarb crisp; no one was mad about this choice As is pretty clear, everything we had was delicious! What I love best is that in addition to being served the freshest and most in-season ingredients possible, the recipes really let them shine by not overcomplicating things, while still presenting some new combinations. Service was wonderful too (including a great wine recommendation for a bottle of red that worked with everything). And the overall vibe is wonderfully relaxed, and the space is somehow both airy and cozy. Yes, it's a splurge--but what you get is superlative, and quite honestly when we got our bill we were surprised it wasn't more, considering our big order! How good is Nina June? My friends and I made the reservation a month in advance when we knew we'd all be visiting the Midcoast from Portland. But now that I've been to this restaurant once, I'm already thinking about how to plan a quick getaway for the sole purpose of eating here again.
