Ribollita

Ribollita is an Italian restaurant serving traditional dishes shaped by Maine's seafood and farm produce. The menu includes its namesake ribollita soup, handmade pastas, risotto, and a range of local seafood such as steamed mussels, polenta-crusted calamari, and cacciucco, a Tuscan fish stew. Dolce options include tiramisu and affogato.

The restaurant has been open for more than two decades in an intimate room on Middle Street in Portland's Old Port and East End area. It is open Wednesday through Saturday evenings, starting at 4 PM. Reservations and takeout are handled by phone, and the chef and owner is Kevin Quiet.
