When she didn't come out, we went back in, and she looked like she had completely forgotten about us. We waited another 10 to 15 minutes before our table was ready. We were quite impressed with the menu, however when our appetizers arrived, we were quite surprised at the scant portions. We had planned on sharing, and with a $15 price point had no reason to think that we wouldn't be able to. The 3 sisters corn fritters were barely enough for one person and used canned corn at a time when corn is wonderfully abundant in the local area from multiple farms nearby. It was quite a shock when our server mentioned to some guests behind us that it was corn season, but yet he was using canned corn off the Sysco truck. The tomato caprese app was equally disappointing. It arrived with what appeared to be one slice from a store purchased log of fresh mozzarella that had been over fried and burned on the bottom with one thin slice of tomato cut in half and that was to be considered two layers. Impressive. Taste was mediocre and we mentioned to the server that one thin, sliced tomato cut in half was underwhelming, he came back and said he would comp the app stating that he would not have served that and he was sorry. Because of the time we waited for our table and the tiny portions in the appetizers, my sister asked if they had any type of bread plate. The waitress said they had a bread and olive oil appetizer on a previous menu and she would serve it to us. It was a few pieces of bread, lightly toasted and some olive oil and basil in a bowl. My sister ordered the pork tenderloin special. It was to be served with.aglio e olio, rhubarb chutney. When the plate arrived, there was a rather large slab of watermelon on the side, which was completely out of place on a dinner entrée. It was as though they had added it to simply fill the space. The aglio e olio was an overcooked mushy pile of corkscrew pasta that was in no way authentically Italian. The chutney was brown and not very good. My sister said the pork was OK, her boyfriend said it was kind of dry. I ordered the rigatoni à la vodka. I had pretty high expectations because I love a good vodka sauce. When it arrived, it wasn't rigatoni at all, but another type of curved tubular pasta, there was very little sauce and the sauce that was there was a spicy and not vodka sauce at all. My sister's boyfriend asked the server if he could bring some sauce. He seemed a little irritated, but said sure. He brought back a small bowl of the sauce, and I added it to the pasta. The sauce was not creamy at all, and I had a few bites and then left the rest. The server asked if I wanted to take it home, and I politely told him no. The reason for the two stars is because we ordered a veggie luxe pizza with added arugula to take with us, and it was excellent. It was our general opinion they should stick to the Pizza and other simple menu items versus trying to cook, authentic Italian dishes that fall flat. You can still have an exceptional menu without trying to overreach on things that you just don't know how to prepare properly. We were very disappointed. It was clear the server/owner was agitated and not interested in our very honest and polite feedback. When we were finished, we left out the back door. If you are looking for a basic meal, and not anything exceptional, go ahead and give it a try. The pizza is great. Otherwise, I would pick from one of the many other excellent restaurants in the area.

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.

Chitarrucci neri ai frutti di mare (black ink chitarra pasta with seafood), however, was something I really wanted to have again. I was hoping that it would be as great as I remembered ... it was. We started with Cozze alla sambuca. I would not have thought of putting fennel or sambuca with mussels, but it was a good combination. The other players (shallot and herbs) were well balanced too. The Insalata de Cesare was fresh and well dressed, with a generous portion of shaved parmesan. The Chitarrucci was the star, with pasta cooked just right and plenty of mussels, shrimp, scallops, calamari, and clams. If I have to be picky, the calamari may have been slightly over cooked, but I'd order this dish over and over again. (I didn't taste it, but the gentleman at the next table had a beautiful plate of ossobuco, with the osso standing up in the middle of the risotto with a sprig of herb 'planted' in the marrow. He said it was great) If you're anywhere near Boothbay, make a reservation and try Ports of Italy.

We dined at Ports of Italy one night while in Boothbay Harbor. For an Italian restaurant, it was…read moregood but not great. We shared a Caesar salad, which was fine, but it was nothing memorable either. We each got our own entrees, which we hadn't been doing because it's usually too much food, and since we were on a road trip, there wasn't much point to requesting doggy bags like we normally would because we wouldn't be able to eat the leftovers. Unfortunately, neither of us finished our meals... they were both tasty, but we ended up leaving food on our plates. I hate wasting food like that. I think we'll return to our one-entree-and-share-it protocol for the remainder of our trip. That seems to be working for us. My chicken dish, Pollo con Funghi, which came with tomatoes, olives and mushrooms in a white wine butter sauce seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano, was tasty, but it was too large a portion for me to finish. There was also some squash, and we had ordered a side of spinach, too. I was very sad to not have taken the remaining food for leftovers. Would've been great. My husband ordered the Ravioli di Astice, which was lobster and ricotta filled ravioli in a prosecco and aurora sauce. Not sure what aurora sauce is, but when I tasted it, the sauce was delicious. My issue with his dish was that the ravioli was severely undercooked, and it was way too chewy... definitely not al dente. They simply didn't cook it long enough, which was a shame because the flavors were excellent. Big miss for an Italian restaurant. I suppose I'd give this place another try if we're ever fortunate enough to return to Boothbay. We definitely would have to agree on one entree between the two of us, though, so we don't waste food.

Every one of them is a privilege to eat at and this place is AT LEAST as good as any of them and quite possibly the best of the bunch!!! Before we could get started, it being our first visit, we were brought a complimentary small antipasti plate of pickles, olives, picked onions and red peppers, balsamic vinegar and fresh mozzarella that is so perfect it makes you swear you are in the old country! We knew we were in love with this place very early on in our visit. I love a good sauce (or gravy if you're so inclined) so we tried all the right stuff for my taste buds a buds: My girlfriend and I shared the Arancini (light, airy, delicious) and the meatballs (pork filled bliss in a flavorful sauce-seasoned to perfection!). By this point, we were already so satiated I could have left a happy camper. Seriously. For entrees I got the Spicy Ragu di Salsiccia, which is a very tasty Orecchiette pasta in a spicy red sauce that I loved. My girlfriend though, let me try her chicken parm that was arguably the best chicken Parmesian ever created!!! When I mentioned it to my server, she said it was a Gluten Free Panko and we are both still talking about it an hour or two later. I am seriously considering going back to get it for lunch tomorrow!!! We finished off the meal with vanilla bean gelato. She got it with some rich fudge cake thing that was great! Needless to say, we were blown away throughout the meal-every bite was excellent, and for us, that would be enough...but service was at least as good as the food!!! At Pomelia we found service to be outstanding without being even a little pretentious. It's why I am way more inclined to eat out in Maine - I enjoy meals out more here - the food culture is strong in Portland on all along the coast in Maine and I hope this place remains a fixture in Brunswick because we are the newest fans and WE WILL BE BACK!!!!
