    Three Words: Awesome. Fresh. Food. Three more words: RED! SAUCE! RESTAURANT! The use of the phrase "red sauce restaurant" in a review usually signals a reader immediately. It is at once descriptive and dismissive, marking a restaurant's cuisine predictable but uninspired -- comfortable, safe, and humdrum. Di Santo's a gem of an Italian restaurant located not far from Exit 63 of the Maine Turnpike in southern Maine, is anything but. Its food is exciting, inspiring, and just plain outstanding. How outstanding? I have eaten Italian food in northern, central, and southern Italy, and in the Italian enclaves of New York and New Jersey. I visited Di Santo's a few weeks ago while staying in Maine with family. With that background, I can say this with confidence: Di Santo's offers up simple, delicious, fresh meals on par with the best Italian cuisine you'll find in or out of Italia. Di Santo's builds its foundation from components recognizable from all great restaurants: fresh ingredients prepared excellently, combined into taste and texture duets that complement each other and leave the customer wanting more. Service that is timely, friendly, knowledgeable -- and that makes you feel at home. But the food is the star at Di Santo's. Sausage? Ground, mixed, and stuffed daily; its spices positively aromatic, exploding in the mouth on first bite, but not overpowering the palate. Gnocchi? Dough made that day, then rolled, cut, scored and boiled not long before they hit your plate. Tender, not dense. Springy and soft, not chewy. Lobster? Pulled from the Gulf of Maine that day, flaky, buttery, awesome. Sauce? Prepared freshly every day, full of fresh vegetables, with a tomato base that is sweet with an acid kick, but not an unpleasant one. My party of 6, to a person, loved their meals. Ours ranged from veal to seafood to sausage, and all of us raved about our dishes to each other and to our waitstaff. I came to Yelp expecting to be one among a host of reviewers praising Di Santo's. I was surprised to not find a single mention of the restaurant on the entire site. So, let me be the first to say: if you are in the "Lakes Region" of Maine, in search of Italian food, prepared excellently with only the freshest ingredients, rendering meals on par with great Italian worldwide, stop at Di Santo's.

    Stopped by on our way to Sunday river. Not impressed. The menu was huge. It was an overload for the eyes. Service was not the greatest. We sat in bar table area which we heard the bar tender flirting with waitresses/ hostesses. Just unprofessional, but it happens. Food was alright, but not worth it to take for left overs. There were many people coming in and out of restaurant. If I had to, I'd go back. But not for a while. Owner is related to the family who owns Anjons....Anjons in Scarbourgh is hands down better quality!

    This place was starting to become "our place" for my boyfriend and I. It's where he asked me to be his girlfriend, and it's where we went to celebrate occasions. Good drink special selection and the only place the Mr. could get authentic veal parm. That's what the 2nd star is for. Then...I made a reservation for Valentine's Day 2012 for 6:30 and even asked for a specific table. This was after conferring with the Mr. about a good time for him (the end of his work day is very open ended) and even called with my sister in the car (so I had a witness). We arrived at 6:31 and they had given our table away--they wrote down my reservation for 6:15 and considered us a no show. I was so careful NOT to be late for 6:30 that there was NO WAY I made a 6:15 reservation. That's such a random time, and not convenient for me. I asked why they didn't even call me, since my phone number was right there next to my name. The snappy answer: "we don't have time to call everyone to confirm." No, but you SHOULD call them if you take their phone number and you're about to give your table away! I live 5 minutes away--if they had called we would have left right away to get there. I asked for a different table, but due to the holiday they were booked and could not accomodate us. We spent Valentine's Day, all dressed up, at Cole Farms. I WANT to go back here. I liked it. It was special to me. But I just can't get over how I was treated. And I know I was in the right, but couldn't argue. It was their word against mine, and they had 6:15 on paper. We now call it "The Restaurant That Shall Not Be Named."

    We live close by with 2 small kids so it's a good option for a quick dinner out. Their marina sauce is delicious-I actually purchase their jarred Anjon's sauce at my local supermarket. My husband loves the chicken parm and since I'm a vegaquarian I usually get pasta or seafood. This last time I ordered the mussels and a side salad. The mussels had decent flavor with the garlic, butter and wine; however, there was way too much butter. They were swimming in it! Also, after we got home I noticed that we were charged extra $ for the two kids meals to have the sauce on the side. We are normally not charged extra, so not sure what happened. For a family of four our bill was around $70 w/tax & tip-which is a bit pricey in my opinion. We will be back since there aren't many non-chain options in the area, but there is definitely room for improvement on their part.

    This is a hidden gem. I have driven past it a million times and never would have guessed how good the food and service are. I grew up in NY and spent a lot of time in NJ, both homes to fantastic Italian restaurants. This rivals the best "Red Sauce" joints I have been to. Maine has plenty of fancy restaurants in Portland, Rockland and down in York, but Di Santo's is by far the best Italian I have had in the last 10 years here. I had the Chicken Calabrese my wife, my wife the Chicken Piccata and my daughter spaghetti and meatballs. Loved everything.

    The atmosphere was pleasant, the food was okay based on their high pricing should have been spectacular and the service was mediocre. Our server hung out at the bar watching TV and other servers took care of our drinks and other requests as ours was no where in sight. Would probably give it another try if the pricing was better.

    The Gnocchi are incredible. I am from an Italian family and they had one of the better red and Vodka cream sauces I have ever had. Great atmosphere and a great family. Definitely recommend

    I enjoyed the pasta bolgnese, while my wife had a wonderful prime rib. Will definitely return.

    Went to this restaurant on a Friday afternoon and there were only a few other people eating here. My friend and I had the fried ravoli as an appetizer and they were delicious. I was disappointed they did not serve bread before the main dish. It was only brought to the table because we ordered a salad. I had the chicken marsala and it had a lot of flavor. The chicken was plain, except the sauce gave it flavor. After the 2nd soda refill, the waitress said it would be additional money for extra refills. That was a turn off. Overall, great taste - not sure if it was worth the $62.00 for two people. I'd likely go back after some time.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
