13 Best Italian Restaurants near Lewiston

“Great meal in a comfortable setting. We visited on a quiet Monday night in the fall for dinner. Our server, Spencer, was very friendly and had great recommendations. We had the Chicken Amore, tasty sausage and moist chicken served over penne in a solid Alfredo sauce; and also had the Potato Gnocchi with Sausage Ragu - meaty, delicious, and satisfying. The entrees were served piping hot, and the portions were really generous, and there’ll be more than enough for lunch tomorrow too. The complimentary garlic bread knots were warm and tasted homemade, and even the starter salads were really fresh and nicely prepared. DaVinci’s was definitely worth the visit.“

“Eggplant parm here is the best I have ever had!! got the ceasar salad too and they make their own dressing. yum. 10/10.“

“I stopped in to Luiggi's today and could tell the staff was very busy. Despite that, one woman heard me coughing and immediately stopped what she was doing to offer me a cup of water. Great food, but even better, kind and thoughtful staff.“

“When I said I wanted bacon and a "grotesque " amount of onions on my turkey sandwich... they did NOT skimp on me!!! The bread is not crusty.. its so soft... always the sane sandwich and always a happy customer.... PS... it may be the Creme Horns too!!!“

“The staff is always courteous and provide professional service with a personal touch! Have gotten take out at least a dozen times lately and EVERY ORDER WAS 100% CORRECT!!! I strongly recommend this Sam’s location!!!

Parking: The traffic light directly by the location offers easy safe access in and out.“

“My family and I frequent Sam's quite often and each time the specials change. Of course each member of the family has their go-to favorites, my oldest is obsessed with the quality and deliciousness of the Chicken Parm, and my middle child loves his Parmesan cheese with a side of cheese pizza. ? As for my self, the classic Sam's Italian is a must! Love it so much that when I was away for college years ago, the staff separated all the ingredients for 6 Italians and was sent directly to my college in New York for me to enjoy! Thanks always for the delicious memories and great service!“

“Delicious food, attentive/friendly service, and wonderful atmosphere! Always impressed by the expansive menu and really enjoyed outside dining in the dwindling days of summer. Since we've moved a bit further away, we haven't dined here as frequently - but our experience Wednesday night reminded us it's well worth the drive!“

“Mary and Eric, thank you so much for making rehearsal dinner so easy! The food was amazing and communication to delivery flawless. This mother of the groom appreciates it tremendously!!!❤️“

“Olive Garden in Auburn, Maine, has seen its fair share of mixed reviews over the last year, with some patrons expressing disappointment in the past. However, my recent visit suggests a shift toward a more positive dining experience.

Upon entering, the warm and inviting atmosphere immediately set a pleasant tone for the evening. The staff were attentive and courteous, ensuring that each guest felt welcome. The menu offered a variety of classic Italian dishes, and the food was both flavorful and well-prepared. The breadsticks and salad were as delightful as ever, living up to the Olive Garden reputation.

While previous reviews might have highlighted inconsistencies, it appears that the Auburn location has made significant improvements. The overall experience was satisfying, making it a commendable option for those craving a taste of Italy in a cozy, family-friendly setting. If you had reservations about visiting based on past feedback, it might be time to give Olive Garden in Auburn another chance.“

“First time here under new ownership. Wow, not disappointed! Might have been the best pizza we ever had. Had large green pepper, onion, and hamburg with extra cheese and sauce. Usually you get a little extra if fortunate. Not here! The cheese was running off and the sauce was running out! Sooo good. People are very nice. Plenty of seating outside or in. They didn't even mind that we had a small dog with us as we ate outside and were on our way back from camping in Eustis. Will definitely return!

Kid-friendliness: Good seating

Wheelchair accessibility: Has a wheelchair ramp“
