    Bella our waiter was terrific and all four of our meals were excellent… We had two of the specials - pork chop and braised fish and my wife and I had veal. Very happy we made a reservation with open table as the seating was beautiful with large sunny windows overlooking the wooded stream. Great night with family. Thank you.

    What a gem! We had the burrata special with prosciutto, grilled octopus with chickpeas, tagliatelle ala bolognese, and squid ink pasta with clams. Everything was en pointe and we appreciated not having things doused in butter and cream. Reminded us of food we had in north Italy.. And the limoncello cake was delicious

    One of the disappointments of leaving Maine for the late fall and winter is our last opportunity to eat at the Ports of Italy in Rockport. It is always a pleasure to see the owner, Sante, and the excellent and friendly staff. The food choices and quality and the selection of Italian wines are the other reason Ports of Italy is truly one of the best Italian restaurants in the country. We are already looking forward to our first return visit in the spring. Highly recommended to anyone who love Italian cuisine.
