It was pretty hot that day, though, so we eventually headed inside. The inside has more of a traditional pub-style feel.

Parking was super easy, too--we parked right in front. They also have a cute entryway with a garden-like vibe that I really loved. Overall, a fun spot to stop in for a few drinks they did serve food however we didn't get anything to eat.

I don't typically write a lot of reviews but when I do, it is about an experience that was either…read morereally impressive or hugely disappointing. So here goes... My daughter had been wanting to go to Via Vecchia for a while but couldn't afford it on a college student's income. So we went during my visit. My hopes were high as we walked in--a beautiful glass enclosure at the entrance that was draped with ceiling to floor ivy; an intimate but lively atmosphere; and an offering of creative cocktails...my enthusiasm quickly vanished when our appetizers arrived. We ordered the focaccia, grilled octopus, and Caesar salad. The focaccia was soggy and flavorless. Even the olive oil that accompanied the bread was flavorless. The grilled octopus was another disappointment--there were more cloves of garlic than pieces of octopus. And what little octopus was there, a third of it was charred to black. Thankfully, the Caesar salad was fresh and fairly tasty. Ironically the focaccia croutons were the highlight of the salad. Then the entrees arrived--chicken Marsala and a spicy shrimp pasta in cream sauce (can't remember the name of the dish). My daughter liked the second dish enjoying the slight kick of whatever pepper/spice was used in the recipe. For me, it was just okay. The biggest disappointment however was the chicken Marsala--the gnocchi was overcooked, the entire dish itself was too salty, and the chicken--overcooked in some parts and fairly tender in others--tasted like it came out of a can. Quite honestly, I don't know what all the hype is about. This restaurant is mediocre at best. Perhaps the cocktails numb everyone's tastebuds to the overly salty but otherwise bland dishes. It was not worth the money and I would never go again. If this is the best that Portland has to offer by way of fine Italian dining, I'd say it's time Portland redefined the meaning of "fine".

I'm not sure if I was supposed to wait since the server didn't mention anything. The ice cream ended up melting out of the bite hole, so we didn't eat it. Suckling pig skin itself was delicious, but the meat under was dry and not tender.

Heaven forbid anyone in your party is running late because none of you will be seated until everyone is there. Super fun!!! When we were seated, I had the server station a couple feet behind me with staff calling loudly to one another. The expensive wine they served us was bad. Should have been sent back. The lobster bisque had an unpleasant taste, was overpoweringly creamy, and what little lobster was in it was not fresh and was mushy. I can't even remember what I had for a main course (Maine course?). Unremarkable. One of the salads with blue cheese in it was okay. Some of my compatriots got the stew which is a bouillabase type dish with various shellfish and some fish in it along with a tomato base with a little kick to it. Not bad. The desserts are solid. Can't go wrong with a sundae. They also have Indian pudding which is a regional dish and interesting to try. Not sure if it needs to be renamed for current norms? Other people in our group enjoyed the meal. Lining up and standing around waiting to get into hyped up noisy places with mediocre expensive food, some of it nearly inedible in this case, is always in fashion somewhere. Have at it. I'm out.

It's a tiny but welcoming, romantic space with a 4 seater bar and sweet service. A nice thing about the well-curated, expensive, not extensive, wine list is that half bottles are available at exactly half the price of a bottle, not marked up. The only downside is that all the prices are above average for restaurants of similar stature. Took too long to discover this oasis!
