This is a really nice look from pictures, but once you get here, it is completely different. It is super small and has very uncomfortable seating. The food quality was great, but the quantity of the food was not there. The server was ok, not great, but not horrible. I got little neck clam pasta, it did come with 6 clams and pasta was cooked perfectly. I also got the cheese platter for my app. It comes with three small pieces of different cheese. After I ate, I felt like I needed another meal. Between the 30 min between my app and getting my entree, and the still feeling hungry, I wouldn’t be coming back.

Came for my birthday and had an amazing meal! This is far and beyond one of the best meals I’ve had in Maine, definitely the best pasta (besides what my grandmother makes ). The house-made focaccia was an excellent compliment to our drinks, the wine list is unique and has something for everyone. We really enjoyed the short rib ragu and the carbonara. For the quality and freshness off the food, the prices are more than fair and the portions are perfect. We will definitely be making the drive up from Auburn again!

So refreshing to have a great authentic Italian place nearby. Had lost all hope after trying Italian food in Italy, than along came Bisto Milliard. So cozy and inviting. My husband is not a big pasta fan, or he wasn’t until Bistro came along. We’ve been at least 6 times and already planning next reservation. My go to is the bolognese, unless the lobster spaghetti is an option. If you haven’t been, I strongly suggest you do. And make reservation.

Small boutique restaurant. I would say beautiful rustic Italian with a bit of French provincial. Everything we tried was excellent the pear salad and the clam pasta were standouts, the gnocchi was on another level, nice continental wine list. Excellent service.

Every dish was perfection. I had the cauliflower soup, and the pappardelle with short rib ragu. Portions were perfect. Loved every bite. The wine was also great and reasonably priced. Desserts were outstanding as well. Highly recommend. Wouldn’t go anywhere else if I’m ever in Hallowell again.

A cozy spot with a great atmosphere. Recommend coming early for guaranteed seating. Food is spectacular every time I have been here. Locally sourced ingredients. The best I have eaten in the area.

Well worth the walk in after the last restaurant was clearly unprepared for customers. We looked at the menu and it totally spoke to us. Italian, simple and elegant menu, a good wine list and lovely service. If you are in Hallowell or environs, go!

Do yourself a favor and eat here. I lived in Italy for several years and this place takes me right back. We had apps, pasta and dessert and it’s impossible to pick what was my favorite. Every single dish was delicious. The server was incredibly welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back soon.
