“Can't miss with the mussels, although we recollect them being larger the last time we dines there. Side potatoes were the breakable but the bread and eggplant side dishes were tasty too. Don't travel through Portland without a Street and Company meal! Reservations available on line 60 days in advance.“

“We had an opportunity to dine at Sicilian Table just recently and found it to be just amazingly good. The greeters at the door, the wait staff, Ethan and Aidan, wonderful. Charming and very competent. The food was great, too. We've never eaten there before, but have visited the Freeport restaurant many times. Never ever disappointed.“

“✨ Testimonial for Bistro Leluco ✨ After teaching last night, I finally had the joy of dining at Bistro Leluco in South Portland — and what an incredible experience! The warm, welcoming atmosphere and sweet décor made it feel instantly special, with both cozy indoor seating and a charming outdoor option. Owners Antonio and Michele, who met in New York and brought their passion for food to Maine, have truly created something magical here. The restaurant, named after their three children, is filled with heart — and it was especially meaningful for me since little Luca is one of my former Tikes students. I just had to experience it firsthand! The food did not disappoint — we shared several flavorful small plates, and the chicken kabob was absolutely delicious. Every dish was fresh, unique, and beautifully prepared. If you’re looking for a place that blends incredible food with a heartfelt story and atmosphere, Bistro Leluco is a must-visit!“

“Food was very good and tasty ?.Would definitely be returning.Now I get to eat healthy for a reasonable price.“
