We stopped here on a trip to Portland from Nova Scotia. We were enticed by the bread made in the traditional tandoor oven. We were not disappointed. Everything was so delicious. We had shawarma meals which included humus, pickled turnip, Taziki, a sweet and the, hands down, best dolmas we have ever had and all for about $15 each. The cook was very helpful and efficient! We bought bread and humus to take with us. We are sure to come back several times on our next trip to Portland.

Restaurant located in front of Harbor Fish Market on where Commercial and Pearl Streets meet. Entrance on Commercial St.
Given the ambience and presentation of authenticity, Solo does not deliver like they should. On arrival, I made a Rez but was told Open Table accepted it, but "we're not seating and in this area, so we don't really have a table". However, she did end up seating us in that area, not a great introduction. Olive oil does not compliment sourdough bread that tastes like rye, and the olive oil could be better quality. The heirloom tomatoes, prosciutto and fresh mozz were delicious. The eggplant was pressed too hard and was really tough. It also needed more sauce. The one pasta dish on our table was over cooked. I will say the strip steak was perfectly cooked med-rare and really delicious. The bread sticks we're not light and crisp, they seemed mildly stale. The focaccia was odd and the cookies were rather tasteless and just crumbled apart when you tried to eat them. You just want a really good piece of semolina bread with Italian food, and perhaps almond floured cookies. I know semolina is not popular in northern Italy, but even plain crusty Italian bread would be better. Loved the wine list. Plenty of Italian wines to choose from.

Modern Italian restaurant with cuisine inspired from the humble foods of Southern and Central Italy that incorporates local Maine products.
This tiny restaurant is a wonder. Just 8 tables and a half dozen seats at a bar--it would be full with about 25 guests total--Piccolo does it right on all levels. The 2 servers doubled as bartender, making among other things generous and great Negronis. Every bite savored by my wife and me was near perfection, starting with the crazy good warm olives. The chef clearly has the time to give every plate attention, including the outrageously delicate peekytoe crab salad I had. Just a few simple ingredients--corn kernels, lettuce, crab, paper-thin shaved radishes, a sweet corn sauce and a basil oil ring around it all--and it was divine. We split a pasta dish of housemade cavatelli in an unctuous, deeply flavored lamb neck ragu. Amazing. Our entrees were also spot on, including my black bass with crispy skin and buttery, melt in your mouth flesh. All sauces, vegetables, and sides show a lot of love and display the fruits of long, slow, patient cooking. Our servers were great and had significant wine knowledge too. This was a most memorable evening! Cannot recommend it enough.

The Treehouse is adorable!! The restaurant itself looks pretty much like Pat's Cafe, which is not to say it isn't adorable; it is. More funky lights, which suit the space fine. The lounge, which we didn't stop in (but peeked at) is really nice, with two areas for small groups, as well as the bar area for more lively conversation. It's late in the season for the deck, but it looked good too.The Treehouse has loads of atmosphere!! On our next visit, we'll definitely start there. The food and service in the restaurant were both excellent too. Loved my cocktail (a Catalina) and my friend had a Baxter beer, which she loved. We shared a mussels appetizer, which we both enjoyed, and our entrees (wild mushroom sautéed and scallops were both amazing. The server (tiny girl with brown hair) was excellent - competent and attentive. Love, love, loved everything. Can't wait to go back.i am glad you enjoyed the treehouse.i originally built the cafe back in 96'but was away for quite awhile.i returned a couple of years back and rebranded as the treehouse,maybe why it feels the same.thanks you.sincerely,greg

We returned to EVO last night for another amazing meal. This restaurant just gets better and better. We started with the Brussel Sprouts, Chickpea fries and Muhammara, with each dish just excellent. The muhammara was served with fresh pita and crackers. The chickpea fries are addictive, and the brussel sprouts carmelized to perfection. We shared mussels served in a tumeric broth and fought over wiping the bowl with the pita bread. We followed that with falafel, monkfish and lobster dishes all of which were flavorful, artfully plated and cooked to perfection. We ended the meal with the cookie plate and baklava ice cream for dessert, the cookies were chocolate, a riff on pb &j, and baklava cookies and just saying that does not do justice to these amazing pastries. The wine list was interesting and varied, we got to try some wines we have ever tried before, and my martini was superb!

Emilitsa is a Greek restaurant located in the arts district of Portland, Maine and boasts a contemporary and casual atmosphere. Emilitsa brings a wide array of Mezethes (small plates), Megala Piata (large plates), and pristinely fresh seafood to the seaco
My wife and I had dinner here last week while visiting the Portland area. We really liked everything about this place, from the warm welcome, to the excellent and relaxed service, to the outstanding and refined version of Greek food that is on offer here. We are already wanting a return engagement. Everything was terrific, but I especially recommend the scallop appetizer and their take on cheesecake for desert. Do not miss this place. It stood head and shoulders above the other "fine dining" option we tried while in town.
