They were very busy and we didn't have a reservation, we were seated outside because that's all they had left - we were perfectly okay and happy with this. Our server was very sweet and attentive, I wish I could remember her name! Outside was beautiful and there were fresh flowers everywhere, the food was yummy and the overall vibes were super romantic. We will be back if we're ever nearby again for sure. Also, the food was DELICIOUS. And the blueberry margarita was so refreshing and tasty!

We loved her. The food, though, was just... fine. I'm a big pasta and sauce person, and while everything was perfectly decent, it didn't quite live up to the hype we'd heard going in. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. My espresso martini was good, but nothing special. That said, the building itself is charming and a little eccentric in a good way. I can definitely see how the experience would be elevated in warmer weather--sitting out on the patio overlooking the river would be a big plus. Overall, a good night thanks to great service and atmosphere, but the food didn't quite wow us.

The drinks are good, food has always been hot and fresh. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly. They interact with the customers and each other far beyond "what can I get you" and co-workers. They always seem to genuinely be happy that they're there. I don't think I'll ever not recommend this place. We go here often! PS- in addition to all of that, they're wonderful to the community. They donate time, food, gift certificates, etc. and many of our local youth sports teams have their team parties here.

Damariscotta-Newcastle have long been needing a nice Italian restaurant, and our first dinner at…read moreMedicini was a very satisfying way to bring the long Italian drought to a close. The venue, tucked away up the hill in the parking lot behind Publick House, is completely and very nicely renovated, providing comfortable eating and drinking space, indoors and out. Our food was nicely prepared and presented, and tasty: the ragu lasagna, Ceasar salad, house-made bread, and house-made tiramisu were absolutely delicious; the pasta primavera was nice, but we thought it would benefit from a little more seasoning. The wine list includes some good options at reasonable per-glass or per-bottle prices. Our server, Megan, was very hospitable, attentive and knowledgeable; she guided us nicely through our options, and delivered our food at a perfect pace. We will be back to try some other items on the menu! One suggestion: the owner should make his cell phone calls somewhere other than the customer areas, even if the call topic is related to the restaurant. I don't care to listen to anyone's phone conversations while I am eating my dinner and conversing with my table mates.

We started with the mussels and two of the house salads and they were both delicious. Our waitress was very helpful in helping us narrow down what we wanted to eat.

The star of the show was their chocolate mousse which was some of the best we have had in a long time!

We had the place to ourselves for the first hour or so very quaint and we had the pick of a table. The server was superb with her knowledge and suggestions on what to try. We had a bottle of wine "Nebbiolo" which was so good and our meals (pork w/mushrooms) & Bolognese with all fresh ingredients. The only thing we did notice was the amount of food served on very large plates. Could have had a bit more of everything just saying. Also complimented the Chef throughout to the server and she said he loves to hear people's compliments but when leaving and he just barely acknowledged our compliments. Maybe he was tired but how often do you get a chance to compliment someone especially "The Chef" on their expert cooking. Anyway would we come back in the future but it does have a limited menu so best to check before making any plans.

Sausage had no spices and appeared to have been grilled. Two links were on top of the spaghetti not sliced and cooked in the sauce. Sauce was good but spaghetti was very sticky. Seemed like it had been cooked a few hours earlier. My wife had the eggplant parmigiana. Lots of breading but no eggplant. Her spaghetti was also very sticky and gummy. My mother had the lasagna and said it was good. A lot to improve on the food and service.

Our server, Jason, was fantastic and friendly, and so were the other servers who chatted with us and checked on us. The cocktails were great, and the Caesar salad was crispy and light. We also were treated to a lovely little antipasto that was colorful, fresh, and flavorful. We were told the meatballs were the best, and since I didn't want them as the appetizer I asked if I could add meatballs to the orechiette with spicy sausage ragu. The long and the short of it is I could, and now you should absolutely go ask for "The Jessie" when you go in and try it for yourself. Tell them Jessie sent you Overall a wonderful meal, a gorgeous environment, and a fantastic staff.

I sat at the bar and even though the place was very busy, the servers were attentive. The food did take a bit to come out, but I didn't mind. I would definitely try the meatballs if I get the chance to come back here again. If you plan to come on a weekend, I would definitely recommend a reservation. Overall, everything was good, but I felt the prices were a bit high for the return. Other than that I had no issues.

The place is geared towards takeout and delivery which is order at the counter with very limited table seating. The menu offers thin crust pizza, Chicago deep dish pizza, gluten free pizza, calzones (with ricotta), strombolis, fried foods, subs, wraps, sandwiches, salads, quesadillas, and Pepsi products and juices in the coolers. They have pizza by the slice, and specials such as poutines, steak & cheese eggrolls, fried Oreos, fried raviolis, turtle cheesecake. I ordered a Slice of Pepperoni Pizza ($3.78 with tax), which heated up in the oven and served to me. The thin crust pizza slice was topped with a zesty red sauce to the edge, melted cheese and topped with 12 pepperoni slices filling up the slice on a firm chewy thin crust. The pizza slice was a pretty good quick snack. On a future visit, I would like to try out one of their Chicago deep dish pizzas.
