Great food and service. This small bar/restaurant is a great place to grab some food or sit at the bar for a drink. Their food was delicious but their fries were amazing. This is a great place to grab a bite.

Downtown Portland, Maine. March 2025. Cold winds make a 40-degree day feel like a 20. Perfect conditions for a local place that exudes hygge. Resurrected and renamed, in 2015 this dive bar took over after the age-old Sangillo's closed. A small space with big smiles and great service. Not the best place for a big crowd but if you get there at the right time it could work. I was greeted immediately by the bartender. A quick cold beer was served and I asked for some help with a menu choice--> the Steak Bomb sandwich was chosen and it didn't disappoint. I prefer softer breads with sandwiches. This one soaked up the juices. Fries were crisp, not overcooked and complete with a hint of seasoning. I add malt vinegar. Comfort pub food at its best. Two big screens to keep up with games. Will go again.

Let me tell yall something, if you want good quality food please check this place out! We ended up going to this super extra ritzy expensive bougie place around the corner called even tide aka high price tide for small portions… I spend $30 and left hungry! No drink just a damn crab roll. I’m so happy I Decided to check out this local spot. The atmosphere, my waiter .. I hate that I forgot her name but she made me feel incredibly welcome and gave us enough attention. The food and drinks were 10 out of 10!! Please give this place all the love !! I will be back ♥️

I came here late at night because the kitchen is open late. What a great dive bar (term of endearment)! The bartenders were super friendly, great atmosphere, and the dirt wings were excellent. I highly recommend this establishment if you are looking to hang out in Portland!

GET THE MAC & CHEESE! So cheesy and delicious! Definitely recommend the hot dog and the chicken tender macs they were so yummy! Fried pickles were cooked perfectly and came with a super yummy sauce. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite!

My gf and I were in Portland today and saw Tomaso’s … We were hungry but didn’t know what to think at first.. so we checked out the reviews before going in.. let me just say. The reviews about how delicious the Steak and Cheese Sub and Dump Truck Fries are worth the hype!!
Sooooo Good!!
It’s a cozy venue with a very pleasant and attentive staff! We went in hungry and left happy and very satisfied !
This place is definitely worth the visit!

Great local dive with awesome staff (shout out, Shawna!). Great beer selection and solid prices. Special shout out to the dominator breakfast sandwich and the spiciest bloody mary mix in town.

Oh, what to say about Tomaso's but if you're looking for a small little hole in the wall for one of the best steak bombs ever in New England, then look no further. This is the place to be.
It looks intimidating at first but you realize upon entering it's just a vibrant, intimate little sit-down bar. All the neon and lights inside just adds to its rustic charm.
Now to the main subject, the steakbomb. Tender, very peppery shredded beef, red peppers, succulent onions, and that cheese sauce. Oh, the cheese sauce. Just perfectly salty, creamy, and perfect to dip your crunchy fries into.
Think 'a grungy biker with a teddy bear personality' energy. This is what Tomaso's is and I'm all for it. I can't wait to go back again sometime. Local beer on tap, too! Delicious!

The only thing I couldn't understand is why there is no parking? There's a big ass parking lot but all the spots were for the bank, I feel like the owner should have made a deal with them or figured something out. I spent 30 mins trying to find a place to park to go in. Food was banging tho, got buffalo wings, asked for all flats and they did as many as they could (which was most of the 10 I ordered)
