When you have time some day, would you please list a few more of
your favorite eating places in Greater Portland. We moved from
Massachusetts to Kennebunk in 1976 and have eaten at relatively
few of the Portland restaurants.
Here's a few I always liked. Note these are mostly in the general Portland area. I moved from Portland to the Hartford area a year ago and miss living in Maine(born and raised). Alot more New York fans, but I still have some die hard Boston sports fans as well.
- Ricettas (by the mall) and Espos Tratorria (Congress St) are a couple good italian places I always enjoyed.
- Anthony's Italian Kitchen is a great sandwich shop in the Old Port, used to eat there all the time during work days.
- Portland Pie Company has a location in the Old Port and in Westbrook, great place if you like a good pie. A number of good specialty pies as well from here.
-Gritty's (Freeport and the Old Port), Sebago Brewing Company (by the mall and in Gorham), Ri-Ras (Irish bar by the ferry terminal in Ol Port), and The Great Lost Bear (Forest Ave) all serve decent food along with good beers and atmostphere.
- Margaritas is some decent Mexican, nothing special but good food and fairly good atmosphere. (Funny enough they actually have a Margaritas about ten minutes from Hartford, I always thought they were more of a Maine/NH -chain)
- Fore Street is a highly rated restaurant, a little more pricey and more of a special occasion thing. From what I've read, reservations is recommended.
- Becky's Diner in the Ol Port (right down on Commercial) is inexpensive, decent breakfast if you happen to be in the area. Nothing special, but it's always good to know a good breakfast joint if you end up in the Ol Port overnight.
Just a couple to throw out there, assuming these haven't gone out of business or moved in the last year. (And yes, I registered and made my first post on a Maine thread.)
