Primo Review

Owner-chef Melissa Kelly and her world-class gourmet restaurant in a restored Victorian home have won many awards and been written up in Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and O Magazine. Upstairs the vibe is funky, downstairs is fancier. Wherever you eat it's farm-to-table here: Primo raises chickens and pigs, cures meats, produces eggs, and grows produce for its restaurant. Combining fresh Maine ingredients with Mediterranean influences, the daily-changing menu has dishes like kale salad with creamy garlic dressing, housemade pasta with local squid, and duck with sweet-and-sour rhubarb chutney. Pastry chef and co-owner Price Kushner creates delectable desserts like cannoli featuring crushed pistachios and amarena cherries.
