    Focaccia
    Lindsay G.

    Always a lovely meal at Pomelia. They accommodated myself, my daughter & my baby in his baby stroller for an early dinner. I usually get the fried chicken sandwich but decided to indulge in a pizza with some salad. The pizza was AMAZING!! Love the focaccia bread it is on

    Great wine

    This atmosphere was really nice and seated by the window. Service was top notch and the food was very good. We tried the Cheesy Arancini and Ricotta Meatballs for appetizers. I had their Pesce Gratinati which was tasty, and my husband had the Marsala Porcini dish which he absolutely loved and a bottle of wine.

    Caesar - and this is a half.

    Soooo good! I am stuffed and wish I could have tried dessert. Made a reservation for lunch with a long-time friend. We shared a Caesar salad that was garlicky, with crisply croutons & just the right amount of dressing. Warm focaccia bread was amazing and then the pizza!!! Thick, crispy crust, ratio of tomato sauce to the cheese & topping could not have been better. I was intrigued with the use of sweetness that was nestled in the cup char. I especially liked that Mary Beth was our server, made the day and will return.

    Great spot, with cool vibe, amazing service, delicious food, and ice cold beer in chilled glasses. I had a Hot Honey Crispy chicken sandwich and fries... it was very good (just the right amount of heat). The pasta dishes and small pizzas being served around me looked amazing as well. Located down an unassuming side street. Indoor/outdoor seating. Plenty of parking. Good for small and medium groups. It was busy for a Wednesday night - I'd call ahead to reservations if on the weekend.

    Bloody Mary and bread

    Service was Great! Tables are very small and packed together. They sat us where when the front door opens the cold air hits you. Definitely wear a warm sweater in the colder months. The food was simply okay. My husband had the chicken parm and it was dry and tasteless. The sauce had zero spices and was a simple red sauce. For an appetizer we had calamari. Overcooked and extremely chewy. Bloody Mary was wonderful yet the margarita I had was small the ice cube was as big as the glass and my second one tasted nothing like the first. I had the eggplant dish. Very small pieces of eggplant with a large amount of sauce so it appeared to be more than it was. I add shrimp which was very tasty and cooked well. This dish all and all was good just very much overpriced for eggplant drowning in Sauce. I don't mind spending money on good food but it was painful to pay for this meal. We will not go back.

    Sicilian panzanella

    We had a reservation last night for my friend's birthday and I'm glad we did - the restaurant was busy. Service was impeccable - from reservation to seating, hostess, and wait staff. Everyone was professional, attentive and friendly. Asia was fantastic. The dining room is bright. Doesn't rise to the level of "ambiance" for me but it was comfortable enough. While I very much appreciated the free focaccia before our appetizer, I prefer mine with a little rosemary/herb (personal preference) - if not on the bread itself, maybe offer an infused oil? The black pepper was flavorful. Cheesy arancini was good. My panzanella was tasty too. It has a lot of red onion and peperoncini. My friend ordered the spicy ragu di salsiccia but couldn't eat it. He described it as "spice for the sake of spice" and too hot. Again, I realize this might be personal preference. I can say, the manager took it off our bill - without us asking - which was a classy, appreciated move. Service really is very good. The chicken parmigiana (replacement) was good. Several, around us, ordered dessert and those looked good but we did not partake.

    Pesto ribbon pasta

    From the focaccia to the service to the wine, you cannot go wrong at Pomelia. Don't fill up too quickly on the fresh oil and herb bread to start (you will have one piece and keep going back for more). The frommagio pizza is to die for and a large will feed 2-3 people. The pesto ribbon pasta in a sun-dried tomato based sauce with almonds and focaccia breadcrumbs for texture and it deserves an 8/10. Cocktails and mocktails are as delicious as they sound. Pomelia is my new go to for Italian in the area. Enjoy!

    Spicy Salsiccia - local sausage ragu, San Marzano tomato, fennel, pecorino, preheated pasta - perfect balance of flavor and spice!

    Our first but not last visit to Brunswick's newest restaurant - Pomelia. Specializing in Sicilian cuisine, their menu offers a different take on similar regional Italian dishes that we've enjoyed elsewhere. The charred cauliflower was nicely different than the usual spicy / buffalo cauliflower - fennel, pine nuts, golden raisins, and pickled shallots make this a fresh and lighter version of one of our favorite appetizers. The pasta all a normal has such a rich, warm eggplant and tomato sauce - three of our group ordered and loved it! I had the spicy salsiccia - a perfect balance of spice and flavor...will definitely get it again. Thomas be the area's only Prosecco bar - gotta love that. And the small wine list has enough good and affordable options that will match any item on the menu. Pomalia now offers take out - just order online and pick it up for an easy home meal. It's be great if there was a vegan entree - hopefully that can be added sooner rather than later. Definitely recommend this new local gem!

    A Peroni and warm bread on a chilly day.

    This was my first visit to this relatively new restaurant in Brunswick. After hearing a number of good reviews from acquaintances, I decided to take my wife here for lunch on our day off for Veterans Day. We obviously were not the only people who had that idea since the restaurant was packed, which is fantastic for a Tuesday lunch! After starting with a mocktail for my wife and a Peroni Pilsner for me (absolutely love that beer by the way), they brought a basket of warm focaccia. Drizzled with a bit of the fruity and bright olive oil on the table and it made for a great beginning. My wife and I shared two pizzas, one was their take on a pepperoni and the other was a Rianata with olives, capers, red onions, oregano and a pomodoro sauce. As with all of their pizzas, they are done Sicilian style on a focaccia style crust. Typically, I am a fan of a thin New Haven type crust, but I was very impressed that despite this crust's thickness it was crisp on the outside yet light and airy in the middle. The toppings were savory and delicious. The staff were friendly and the service was efficient. We will definitely be back!

    Pro's (nearly all): Oh WOW! We saw an article in the Harpswell Anchor this morning and hadn't realized Scarlet's had closed and Pomelia emerged. As a celiac, thrilled to find they have a dedicated gluten free fryer with all fried items gf- we had calamari and meatballs as apps and shared spicy ragu, all GF, and all AMAZING. Gluten lovers wouldn't know. So good. We had started to lose hope with so many closures and not anything spectacular coming in, until THIS. So worth a try. We will absolutely be back. Do betters: really just ambience. Candles or stick lights on tables with overall lower lighting would feel less 'cafeteria'. We also didn't see a dessert menu, not sure if there is one (we couldn't have eaten more either way). Our waitress was thorough, friendly, knowledgeable. Really can't wait to go back to try the chicken parm that I saw another guest enjoying---- it looked aaaaahmazing! We loved it!

    Seafood Gratinati

    When Pomelia first opened, my partner and I were excited to see more regional Italian cuisine here in Maine. The menu reflected Sicilian staples, but unfortunately the execution was lacking. I am so happy to say that our earlier experience was probably due to its recent opening and still zeroing in on the details. Our recent visit was quite the opposite-- they've nailed it! We opted for their fix price lunch menu and was not disappointed. We started with the zuppa di ceci, a rich tomato-based soup with ceci beans. Topped with a little evoo, it took the chill out of the cold day. Though concerned about the "garlicky" in the title of their Caesar salad, the garlic stayed in the background and the umami of the anchovies was just the right balance. For our main courses we had the seafood gratinati perfectly cooked and just waiting to dip a piece of that home made focaccia. Nothing could be more Sicilian than pasta al pistacchio. The pasta was cooked al dente and the white sauce mixed well with the prosciutto (though I would have preferred the sauce to be more cheesey than buttery). For our dolci we had the cannoli. Perfect shell with a bright splash of lemon covered with chocolate and, of course, pistacchio! Service was great and we appreciated Lindsay's customer service. Italy has such a wide range of cuisine types and it's nice to see something more than our standard red sauce Italian-American dishes. Ben fatto, Pomelia! Well done.

I walked in thinking I'd order something simple, but Jocelyn somehow anticipated exactly what I wanted before I even said it -- an oatmeal latte with honey infused right into the espresso. It was warm, silky, lightly sweet, and honestly one of the most thoughtful, dialed‑in drinks I've had anywhere. You can tell when someone really knows their craft, and she absolutely does. We also grabbed the curried chicken sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of creamy and bright. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid‑bite and go, "Wait... this is really good." The whole place has that cozy‑local‑favorite energy -- friendly staff, great food, and the kind of coffee that makes you want to reroute your trip just to come back again. If you're driving through Freeport, Camden, or anywhere along the coast, Wild Oats is 100% worth the detour.

We ordered two turkey sandwiches and a tuna salad on a bagel, so nothing cooked, besides the toasted bread. While waiting about 25-30mins for our food, it got really hot inside. I looked up at the built in fans/vents in the ceiling and noticed they were filthy. I was afraid if I had asked for air to be turned on, that dust would have shot onto people's food! There was also a situation where the man behind the register needed a choice made by an elderly customer that had already taken a seat. She shouted out the answer to his question and he responded rather loud and rudely for her to "Next time come to the counter! I don't like yelling across the room!" (Or something to that extent) Whatever it was, it seemed really aggressive and unprofessional, not to mention disrespectful. The sandwiches were good, had fresh ingredients, but I'm not sure this place was throwing the right vibes for me to revisit.
