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!

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.

After we are finally seated, they bring us menus and then ignore us for 20 minutes. several people who came in after us were served immediately - we ended up just leaving angry and hungry after 25 minutes of not even being asked if we wanted a drink. This place ruined date night.

It's rare that I return to a restaurant that I really enjoyed and pick exactly the same dish I had…read morebefore; I usually want to explore the rest of the menu. 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.

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.

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.

This place is excellent!!! I mean, I have a few favorite restaurants and most of them are Italian…read moreplaces. 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!!!!

I sat at the bar and even though the place was very busy, the servers were attentive. The food did take a bit to come out, but I didn't mind. I would definitely try the meatballs if I get the chance to come back here again. If you plan to come on a weekend, I would definitely recommend a reservation. Overall, everything was good, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the return. Other than that I had no issues.

First sandwich was a wrap with lettuce, tomato, bacon, jam and shredded cheese. First of all, there was more wrap than anything else. Second, one, ONE thin piece of bacon. And when you think of shredded cheese, you think melted. Nope. Just some raw shredded cheese. The other sandwich was pesto, tomato, mozzarella and balsamic. Again, just really skimpy, mostly bread and not good at all. Somehow, the balsamic tasted spoiled. I'm not even sure how that's possible. The mozzarella moons barley had any cheese in them. Again, like previously stated with everything else, mainly just breading. It's not good. And MASSIVELY overpriced. I cannot state enough this place is a massive scam.
