4 Best Italian Restaurants near Turner

“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“

“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.“

“My husband and I just had lunch at the Sam’s Italian Restaurant in Augusta, Maine. The cranberry almond chicken salad sandwich was excellent, and I had to save half of it for later because it was so huge. My husband had the chicken parmigiana sandwich and he said it was the best he ever had. Kind, friendly employees. The place was nice and clean. Glad we found this restaurant. We will definitely be back soon.“
