- CCornellVIPGreater Boston •19 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoWe were very impressed with our server, who was very attentive, helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was very good, indeed the pan seared Haddock was exceptional. However, the room was so dark that all of us kept using our phone flashlights to see the menu and the food enters when they would arrive. When you can't enjoy seeing the food you are eating, the ambiance or mood lighting is TOO DARK.More infoThe Corner RoomPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portland•4.7
- TTomGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFantastic experience. We ended up wanting to show up a little earlier than our reservation, and they were very accommodating. The food, atmosphere and people were excellent. If you want something small, intimate, relatively quiet with an outstanding menu, this is your place. This was our third visit. We'll probably go again the next time we're in town, well done!More infoIsa Bistro - PortlandPrice: Expensive• Bistro• Portland•4.9
- SSandraGreater Boston •31 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had a wonderful Christmas eve dinner at Solo Italiano (with the help of an early Christmas gift card!) The Il Cappon Magro was a really fun and different antipasti starter course for a special evening. As we were walking to our table, we had seen in the prep area behind the glass, this rather giant jello mold looking mound with shrimp that piqued our interest. Upon inquiring, we discovered it was a "traditional Genovese fish layered 'cake' of halibut, scallop, lobster, Gulf shrimp, mussels, salsa verde, beets, cauliflower, carrots, green beans and potatoes!" (took photo of description off the menu!) We shared a very large serving, and thoroughly enjoyed it, although too much for the 2 of us to finish as an appetizer! For our main courses, we had a very good stuffed ravioli as well as an amazing "Filetto in Crosta" beef tenderloin in puff pastry with foie gras & prosciutto, served with Brussels sprouts, their house steak sauce and winter truffles. The wonderful chocolatey dessert was a great finish!More infoSolo ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Portland•4.7
