I have been to Roberto's many times over the years and am disappointed to say its gone down a few notches. Perhaps some of this could be explained due to it being the off-season; perhaps the staff is new and inexperienced, but that's all speculation, and, we still paid high season prices. Roberto's continues to have a warm and romantic ambience. They have taken good care of the location. The staff was very friendly but apparently quite inexperienced in even some very basic ways. The hostess was quite pleasant but looked jarringly out of place in sneakers, some sort of football jersey, and ripped blue jeans. Maybe ok for Chili's or a sports bar but not for a place where people are looking for something a little more romantic. Our waiter was dressed fine and was very pleasant and attentive. But he seemed confused, forgetting things. My wife ordered a steak and he gave her a butter knife to cut it with. The food isn't at the same level as it used to be overall. The strip steak lacked flavor. The chicken marsala was served in a bowl; it looked more like a stew, but the real disappointment was the flavor. The chicken was dry in spite of being submerged in sauce and the sauce itself was missing something. The only positive note was the baked manicotti which was delicious. I have fond memories of Roberto's, so I hope they can get it back together and return to the level of quality they achieved in the past. read more

Second time here and far better than the first. Sat at the bar this time. Great cocktails and service. Terrific food too - we had the haddock and the swordfish. One of the best meals we have had in some time. We will be back! read more

Ordered linguine with meatballs, menu price was $20. The linguine was typical linguine, meatballs were delicious. The bill comes and I was charged $21, so I asked the waitress about the discrepancy---she said there was a $1 charge for the SAUCE on the meatballs. Not only did the menu not state this, but she didn't ask me if I wanted sauce at an extra charge. Typical overcharging of customers in a tourist town. Would never go there again. read more

The food and service was good. We are big eaters, and I feel like the portions were a bit small for pasta dishes. my 10 year old got scallops over linguini and I thought there should be more linguini. I understand the need to not deal with leftovers in a vacation area, but it's an Italian restaurant and you should never leave one hungry! My halibut over julienned veggies dish was very good but I had to add salt, pepper, borrow my husband's lemon wedge and throw a bit of olive oil on it. Then it was perfect (for me). Nice atmosphere and all, but a bit pricey for what we received. read more

Been coming to Ogunquit for years with my wife. We took my mother in law to Roberto's for her 55th birthday dinner. We waited 1-1/2hrs for apps and made reservations for 8pm. When we were done eating it was 10:30 and we skip desert. We ask to talk to the manager and the owner came out. And blame all there issues on us. She had an excuse for everything. We ask why the apps came out so late and she told us why are you eating so late. She rip up a piece of paper in my mother face and told us she wasn't comping us and doesn't care if we ever come back because she always busy and doesn't need our money. What a you know what. We will never step foot in her establishment and you shouldn't either. I suggest that place in ogunquit for eating instead of this attitude in ogunquit.y read more

My daughter and I went two nights ago and had a very nice experience. Last night 5 people in our party went again. We will never go back. Despite the food being good we had a horrible experience. In a nutshell we waited over an hour and a half for our food. The waitress kept telling us "two minutes".... Asked to speak with manager. Owner Kathy commerato came to our table. Expected her to apologize, offer to see what the delay was... Whatever. No, she told us to take a chill pill. Called us liars, said "you are on vacation, chill out" etc etc.... W We will never go again and strongly suggest no one else does!!! read more

Overall, a very disappointing experience. Be prepared to wait. It is very obvious that this restaurant is short staffed. Our waitress apologized many times because there was only one bartender working and that's why our drinks were taking so long. The food took just as long and when it came the waitress had messed up one of the orders.The food was just okay. My husband was extremely disappointed in his veal saltimbocca because it was covered in spinach. He orders this dish often in Italian restaurants and there is never any spinach in it and there was no mention of spinach on the menu. The waitress never asked how our food was and she didn't bring a second round of drinks that was ordered. Will not be going back at those prices. read more

This place is amazing. The food and drink are the best Italian fare around. The menu is extensive and the prices are reasonable and portions are ample, no wonder they have been in business for more than 40 years. read more

Overpriced. Chicken parm was $22. Ravioli 25, and about 4 of them in bottom of large bowl. Nice rounds tables for groups. But nothing over the top. read more

This was the final restaurant of our stay in Ogunquit and it was a fabulous way to cap off our dining experience! Started with lobster bisque that was, well, you pick the adjective, but I'm going with scrumptious! Wife had the caprese salad and loved it. At our table we had the lobster risotto, seafood risotto and the lobster popadello and they all were amazing. The portions were generous and most of us left some on our plate. In spite of not having any room, we had the blueberry pie for dessert and it was well worth the extra bites! This hits high on our list of favorites. read more

Went here for my brother Kevin's birthday dinner -- I don't usually get excited about Caesar salad but it was awesome. Also had clams casino for an appetizer, they were great. Being from NJ, was initially skeptical of Maine Italian food. They crushed it here. I had the penne bolognese which seems simple but was delicious. Our server Michael was excellent, and Alex was great too. Looking forward to coming back. Other entrees we ordered were osso bucco, veal saltimboca, and chicken marsala. Everything was great. read more

I went to the pizza place next door. This is my second time visiting this place. The pizza was burnt all around the edges and they were being extremely cheap with their toppings. And I only ordered the cheese pizza..... How does one be cheap on the cheese part of a cheese pizza? We also got an order of their wings. It tasted good but it was also a bit burnt. The only reason they didn't get a 1 star or lower is because their staff was clearly overworked and lacked the patience to deal with peak season of the summer crowd. read more

Excellent food and service once we got seated. Prior to that we had a bit of a wait even though we had a reservation. It looked like perhaps it was a bit understaffed, however once we sat down; the table service and quality of the food made up for that wait. I had the veal picatta and it was excellent. read more

Nightmare "dining." Never in fifty years of dining in NYC, London, Paris and all across the United States have I witnessed a temper tantrum from an owner like the owner of Roberto's. With hostility and belligerence she ranted at my brother and I while accusing me of causing a disturbance. This was because my brother refused a veal parmigiana that was prepared without parmigiana and then returned to the table with microwaved melted cheese and the same cold side dish of pasta. The night before we sent back overcooked veal and lamb chops. The courteous waitress agreed and had the kitchen prepare new chops. The owner from hell never made an appearance. We went the second time because of the proximity to out hotel and we didn't want to drive or walk far. We could never have imagined the bizarre behavior we encountered on our return visit. When we recounted our tale to our hotel they said they never send guests there. The bartender at another hotel's restaurant said he'd warn his customers. When we shared our experience with the waitress at "Jackie's Too " Perkin's Cove, she looked at us and with perfect delivery responded succinctly, "try working there." There are so many good choices in Ogunquit for dining. Even if you are tired, it's worth the car or trolley to go to a professionally run restaurant. Take the advice and recommendations of your hotel. read more

Tried here because we couldn't get into Angelinas last minute. Nice meal - food was good and so was service. Will def go back

Food was good. Only reason it's not getting 1 star here. Extremely slow service. Waitress got multiple things wrong on our order. Would disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time. Pleasant staff although not very strong in English so it makes ordering difficult. Staff did not have good knowledge of the menu. Very difficult for patrons with small children - no ramp for a stroller, barely any room for a high chair, in fact didn't even offer us one, so my wife sat and ate with our baby in a body sling. Staff was somewhat miffed that they had to "deal" with our stroller. Far better restaurants are only a stone's throw away so I would avoid this one- especially with the prices of the entrees. read more

We had a reservation this evening. Arrived to find a hostess who clearly had lost control of the restaurant, and had no idea when we might get a table although several were empty. We eventually found a seat in the bar only to be verbally abused, talked down to, eye rolled by the young bartender/waiter because it was busy and he didn't want to do his job. Eventually, the jovial other man behind the bar took our drink order and the younger man gave us menus. It then has taken several times to be able to place an order.....the young man finally takes the food order but said he can't take the drink order. Understandably a busy night, but the treatment we've received thus far makes me wonder if I'll ever return. Still waiting on the food.....it certainly looks worth the wait, so we are hopeful for that. I recommend they give their young bartender some customer service training. read more

I attended this restaurant with the hope that I would have a great time with my friends but upon arrival I was treated with disrespect and inappropriate behavior. They served my friend with a gluten intolerance food that was downright unacceptable. The owner was rude to me and my companions and did not appreciate us one bit. I would never recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy. Horrible service and anticlimactic nasty food. Will never ever ever ever come back. Long live the US of A. read more

Last night an odd thing happend at Roberto's..my family turned into lepers sometime between the antipasta and the main course. It must be so since our waitress ignored for nearly 1:20 minutes. We sat at 7:30 and received our entress at 9:20. I have had a similar experience as other reviewers; went once & loved it, albeit in the off season. Last night was the "on" season and forget it, I won't go back. The tables are so close the waitress's skirt brushes your tables but her attention doesn't come anywhere near you. Unless you are the table behind us, that she was fawning over. No water glasses being refilled...no bread not a "sorry, we're backed up, here's a complimentary appitizer" etc. Really, "sorry" would have done it. I spent $145. I need a bit more attention for that kind of money. When the food arived, the rack of lamb was greasy, the pasta was out of a box. Box is OK but use Barilla or some good quality stuff not Ronzoni. On to a better restaurant. There are plenty more. Won't go back. ***post note***the owner contacted me 9 months after this riview to say, "gee, wish you had come to see me while you were here" Here" mmm let's see, you mean while you were fighting with a cook in the hallway? This place was chaotic that night. read more

This was underwhelming at best. If you see an ala carte menu, the expection is that each dish is carefully and impeccably prepared. Our table had an array of dishes including Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Picatta, Manicotti, and Osso Bucco, etc. The Chicken Parm was generic, and the Short Ribs were compared to "Dinty Moore beef stew". The other dishes were good, but not great. Commenting on atmosphere/ service, the location and ambience is warm and welcoming. The room that we were placed in had three other parties. One party was so loud, I didn't realize that they had music playing until an hour into service. The loudest/craziest of of their "party" turned out to be on the wait staff??!! Another party was wearing "Giant" sportswear. Now, granted, it may not be the wisest thing to wear NY sportswear in New England, however what happened was unbelievable. The two guests were belittled by someone on the wait staff... hostess.... owner? , YELLED at for their choice of attire, and in essence encouraged to leave. These were paying customers (and a whole lot more civilized than the rowdy party). In conclusion, if you are looking for quality authentic Italian cuisine, this is not your destination. If you want noisy drama, and a forgettable meal, this is your spot! read more

This establishment trys to mask an overworked staff and even worse the uptight rude boss. EPIC FAIL. We have seen enough here and will not be back. The food is mediocre at best but supporting such a nasty person and the way she treats customers and staff isn't on my radar. Be warned you don't want to get into it with her. There are so many good restaurants in town we will go elsewhere. read more

Made a 6:30 reservation for two the restaurant was busy but not full by any means the hostess then informed us that she could seat us but we wouldn't be waited on till 7:30 and then stated "it would just be easier if u came back at 7:30 we just don't have enough staff. "The food I'll never know we were not going to come back an hour later and hope the front house problems were worked out read more

We've been here many times with just two people and to 6 people. The drink pour is a healthy size and the complimentary bread is a nice offer. Let's talk food...the seafood risotto is EXCELLENT! It's hard for me not to order something else! The oysters Rockefeller are great. The beef carpaccio is amazing - we get an order every time we go. The osso bucco is delicious Thank you to Alex the bartender for the recommendation. The menu is huge and diverse. There is something for everyone. Be patient and be prepared as this restaurant is busy and the kitchen takes it's time in preparing your dish. The flip side of this is that you are not rushed out of your seat for the next party. Complimentary valet is a plus. You may also see the lovely owner walking around and letting her gracious hard working staff do their thing. See you all soon! read more

Outstanding food, exceptional wait staff. Great atmosphere. Don't forget to tip the valet!

This is a nice place with a good atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is excellent and presents well served in proper etiquette. Folks leave your flip flops and hawain shirts at home. If you want a diner go someplace else. read more

Visited the Pizzaria side of the restaurant. Reasonably pticed, pizza was very delicious and fresh. The house wings taste amazing. An excellent value all around. Will definitely return and would highly reccomend. read more

Robertos Italian Restaurant - The Margarita pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

We found this place to be quite delicious, with a calm aesthetic atmosphere which made dinner very enjoyable. We started off with an order of the bruschetta, and even I found it delicious not being a huge fan of raw tomato. They also bring out a basket of bread with a bowl of olive oil and sundried tomatoes, which was pleasantly tasty. We ordered the seafood risotto that consisted of scallops, shrimp and lobster in a homemade risotto (SO GOOD) and chicken parm (EVEN BETTER). All in all this was an excellent dinner and we will definitely be returning next time we're in ogunquit. PS. the house chardonnay is wonderful, just ask the two empty bottles that the busboy picked off our table. read more

My husband and I have been enjoying wonderful meals and family memories at Roberto's for almost 20 years. I can't believe that Yelp is rated at 3 stars because we have literally been all over the world and Roberto's has to be consistently one of the top 5 restaurants we have ever been to. The service and food are exemplary. The minestrone is not to be missed and the chicken parm, piccata and Marsala are better than some that you would get in the north end of Boston. Don't let others reviews sway you away from trying this Ogunquit staple. You will not be disappointed. read more

Avoid this place! I went there on a Wednesday night at 7:30pm with my wife and two kids. We waited over an hour after we placed our order for it finally to show up. Our waiter was very good and kept apologizing for the long delay, he also said if he could he would go cook it himself. My wife ordered shrimp scampi that was just pasta and shrimp covered with lemon juice. My son ordered grilled zucchini which said it came with vegetables but only came with zucchini with sauce on it no vegetables. The bar had it own issues, the table behind us got a chardonnay that they said tasted like it was musty/moldy. We had to ask for a second basket of bread to help with four hungry people. Two hours to get seated and eat on a Wednesday night seems like they have kitchen issues. The menu is pricey and not a problem if food is deliver in a timely manner with what is stated on the menu. We have eaten here many times before and enjoyed it but I think we are going to look other places for fine Italian food in the Ogunquit area read more

So I have been here many times before and it had always been a good experience. Unfortunately tonight was by far the worse dining experience I have ever had. Not only did we have to wait an hour for our table we then had to wait another hour for our food which was over cooked. Management was no where to be found and the inexperienced staff appeared to have no where to go to for assistance. Unfortunately this will be removed from my list of go to places in Ogunquit. read more

Definitely a hidden gem. It was still off-season, and a rainy evening, so it was pretty quiet when we came in for dinner. My husband has a cheese allergy, and the staff was wonderful about working around it to accommodate him (some places find this quite difficult, especially Italian!). Servers were super friendly, portions are large, pasta is fresh-made (mmmm!), the wine was great, and we had a wonderful first anniversary dinner. read more

Don't bother. Terrible service, actually no service at all. We were seated and we were abandoned, we had to leave.

Good price put the pizza is so oily, to much fat juice... Impossible to taste the vegetables in pizza.

We had mistaken the date of our reservation at a restaurant nearby so we decided to ignore the poor reviews that had kept us from trying this restaurant in tbe past. To start with ehat was goid it is,a lovely, well appointed restaurant. From there it went pretty much doen hill. The service eas not the best but the server seemed to be fairly new. We ordered Oysters Rockefeller which were over stuffed with cheese that made the oysters a side of the dish rather than the focus. Our meals zzz rrived and my wife was given a meal other than what she ordered. When she mentioned it to the server there was a discussion about what she actually ordered and what she recieved. In defense of the establishment tbey did not charge for the meal on the final bill which does not excuse the original mistake. I ordered Chicken Picotta which is a relatively standard mrsl at any Italian Restaurant. This was inlike any I had eaten in the past which would have been alright had the pasta not been under done and the chicken grossly overdone It i s as good bet that we will never return to Roberto's and would advise others to avoid it as well. read more

Not bad for pizza in the York area. Not that great though. The crust is pretty standard and the sauce tastes on the Greek side. Good for a snack. read more

Had take out salads from takeout side of the house. They where just ok. They seemed a little unorganized with the order when we picked it up. read more

Delicious chicken parmigian. Nice and crispy with a pleasant marinara sauce.

Another GREAT meal. Service was excellent and everyone was happy and pleasant. The valet parking is a great bonus as parking is not always easy in Ogunquit. read more

Food was adequate. Our server was very nice but the kitchen was slow and it was not very busy (a Monday night at the end of the season). For the price, the food should have been a little better. read more

My family and I go to Robertos on an annual basis. I have to say service this year and the past couple has improved and been so awesome that I am giving them a 5 star rating. I rarely do this for any place, but they really earned it! The 4 meals we had were all excellent and the price was reasonable for Ogunquit. Thanks Robertos for some great memories that my family and I will cherish! read more
