Absolutely AMAZING food!!!! Great and friendly staff as well!! We got the shrimp & polenta, and calamari appetizer, the Cavatelli Saltimbocca and baked penne for dinner, and the crème brûlée and tiramisu for dessert!! I’ve had Italian from California to Italy itself and this was by far one of the best meals I’ve had! Highly recommend! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100

Great local spot for decent Italian in Rockland. We had the Supli app, similar to arancini. Really nice! Also the grilled chicken olivado and the baked ziti entrees. Generous portions and really great flavors. Park behind the restaurant. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
Excellent traditional Italian cuisine. Friendly atmosphere. We ordered Suppli and a speciality pie to start and Crispy Parm and Saltimbocca for a dinner entrées. Capped off our delicious meal with shots of limoncello and cannolis to go. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50

Listen! When I moved to Maine from the good ole food capital of the U.S. down south in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, etc. I would have never expected to find the best Italian food place that I’ve ever eaten at in my life. This place is LEGIT! Last night I took my girlfriend and she got baked Italian sausage pasta dish, I got the shrimp pasta meal, and as you can see from my picture every time I go here to eat I also order a PIZZA to go so I can enjoy this place the next day. I know it’s going to be a good day at work because I have a Rustica goat cheese pepperoni pizza in my passenger seat. 10 stars! 2 thumbs up! Best restaurant in Maine so far!

My husband has been craving Italian cuisine all week and we decided to try this place. Even without a reservation, they were able to seat us immediately on a busy night. The service was friendly and quick. My husband said these were the best meatballs that he's ever had. The fettuccine alfredo was delicious. Of course, the olive oil for the bread was delicious too. Wine is available by the glass or bottle. They offer specialty cocktails and local beers as well. Parking on the street was free with 2 hr time limit. There is additional parking in near by lots available. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30

Absolutely exquisite! Some of the best Italian food we have ever eaten during our first night in the Rockland area. We were blown away. Our compliments to the entire kitchen and front of house team. We had the beet Napoleons (crowd favorite for a reason), the cavatelli saltimbocca, and the Parmesan risotto special with shrimp and basil. We paired with a bottle of Leone de Castris Maiana Salice Salentino, legitimately one of Italy’s most well kept secrets when it comes to wine, and a favorite of ours that we order on special occasions. The tiramisu was also one of the best we’ve ever eaten. Don’t miss out on this wonderful restaurant if you’re in Rockland. It deserves to be the local favorite that it is, and it also deserves at least one more diamond in the AAA guide. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50

I have been here quite a few times since I moved to Rockland 10 years ago. It was tradition for my family and I to go every year around Christmas. Unfortunately, they are incredibly difficult to get a response let a lone a reservation (which they are only accepting currently). My fiance and I called more than once on different days to reserve a spot for a family event, and no one bothered to pick up. We were left with a high pitched dial tone each time, and no way to leave a voice-mail. Food is excellent.. not worth wasting hours of your time over though. Also, fair warning for larger parties, this is not a big restaurant. Don't bother with parties over 10, or we're all going to be inhaling each other's breath.
