We started with spanakopita, which is baked and made of layers of phyllo dough, spinach, fresh herbs, ricotta cheese, and feta cheese. For dinner I had the mushroom pasta, which incorporated fresh pappardelle with locally sourced mushrooms. It was in a cream sauce, but the sauce was subtle and didn't overwhelm the dish. I also got the meatballs, which were so flavorful and delicious. My wife had the comfort bowl, which was breaded chicken over Maine mashed potatoes. But what took this over the top was the pear/apple compote and fried leeks. The owner spent some time with us talking about the dishes, the locally sourced ingredients (some from her garden) and Bangor. It was a nice night and a restaurant that I'd return to if I was back in Bangor.

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.

Our server brought out drinks very quickly and checked on us in a timely manner. The star of the show was the mussels appetizer. I have had many mussels in my life and this would be in my top three favorites. The sauce was so flavorful, mussels were cooked PERFECTLY, and it came with the best focaccia I have ever had. Our entrees were just as flavorful . We both paired pastas with a glass of montepulciano which was delicious. Highly recommend a dinner here if you need a pasta break from lobster rolls!

Madison our server was friendly, attentive and helpful throughout our meal. The restaraunt offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We had the restaurant to ourselves initially so I cannot speak for the acoustics but overall Porcelli's offers a nice atmosphere for dinner. My family of four were eager to enjoy an Italian meal after days of traditional New England style meals. We began with the Strawberry & Burrata Salad and the Polpetti (meatballs with polenta). The starters were okay but the stars of the show came next. Our boys each enjoyed the halibut served with risotto. My husband had the Cacio e Pepe. He said it was as good as any he had while in Rome. I had the Gnocchi Mushroom Ragu. It was one of the top Gnocchi dishes I have had the pleasure of enjoying. Our ten year old son said it was the best gnocchi he has ever had. The texture of the gnocchi and the flavors of the sauce made for a flawless dish. The chef makes all pastas in-house and you can tell. The pasta dishes are exceptional! The entree portions are generous so you won't mind sharing a bite or two with your dining companions. I only wish we would have discovered this gem earlier in our trip. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Porcelli's.

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!!

We had the place to ourselves for the first hour or so very quaint and we had the pick of a table. The server was superb with her knowledge and suggestions on what to try. We had a bottle of wine "Nebbiolo" which was so good and our meals (pork w/mushrooms) & Bolognese with all fresh ingredients. The only thing we did notice was the amount of food served on very large plates. Could have had a bit more of everything just saying. Also complimented the Chef throughout to the server and she said he loves to hear people's compliments but when leaving and he just barely acknowledged our compliments. Maybe he was tired but how often do you get a chance to compliment someone especially "The Chef" on their expert cooking. Anyway would we come back in the future but it does have a limited menu so best to check before making any plans.

Nothing was seasoned, the chicken was barely grilled, and the steak was inedible and tasted gamey like lamb. Usually a tasty sauce can save mediocre meat, but the tzatziki tasted like plain yogurt.

The food arrived in a timely manner. We started with the breadsticks, of course. I didn't taste any garlic on them, but then I am a garlic fiend. We both went with the soup and pasta lunch specials. We started with Pasta e Fagioli soup, and as it was endless soup with the special, we followed up with the Chicken & Gnocchi. They were both good. I had the spaghetti with two meatballs, which I see now from a previous review I had once before. Next time I will order the lasagna! I smiled when I saw it comes with just two meatballs, but they are larger than average and was enough for my serving. It was good, but I forgot to ask if I could have thinner pasta with it. I rarely use regular thick spaghetti at home. My wife had the Eggplant Parma which, unlike what the menu picture showed, only came with one eggplant slice! Reminded me of the Gary Muledeer punchline of telling the Maitre D, "My compliments to the photographer!" But it was a good experience overall and I expect we will go back someday. It had been over two years and our lunch specials only went up a dollar, which isn't bad in the new era of inflation.

The food was great, the drinks were great, but when we got the bill we noticed the server had put a truly rude note for the kitchen, describing her substitution and finishing it off with "stupid vegan people." If you can't accommodate dietary restrictions and substitutions that's fine, but there's no reason for nasty messages. It's the most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced at a restaurant.

We arrived about five minutes early and were directed to the harbor view seating towards the shore, second door outside. We were greet by our server warmly, and got some fresh still water...nicely chilled. The menu has all options, but we were here for fresh seafood. My wife had a nice glass of wine and I tried Amayas Choice, a lemon spritzer with a fresh squeeze on top. Refreshing! We started our meals with a half dozen oysters on the half shell and an order of the fish cakes. Both were fresh and delicious. Especially the oysters!! Next up came our entrees. I had the Clam Pasta and my wife enjoyed the macadamia encrusted local haddock. Both dishes were prepared perfectly, my only regret was no fresh bread to sop up the delicious butter sauce. My pasta was delicious, and the clams burst with flavor. I sampled the haddock and it was perfect as well. It was accompanied by locally grown zucchini and soft mashed potatoes. We left room for dessert and enjoyed a wonderful slice of orange sour pie. The ginger bread crust was to die for, and it was topped with fresh whipping cream and a zest of orange. This is the dining spot on the island if you want fresh fish in a slightly sophisticated atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
