Vignola - Portland, ME - Delicious


Four of us ate at this wonderful little place in the Old Port section of Portland this past weekend. We have eaten here before and have always been satisfied. There was more emphasis on pizza and, at least my impression, slightly less emphasis on seafood dishes. There were scallop and cod entrée, but I seem to remember a few more choices in this area before. [For really exceptional seafood, Street & Company is right around the corner]
I was very happy with what I ordered. I started with a baby spinach salad with little beets on the side - light and tasty. My
entrée was a fettuccini tossed with onion, oyster mushrooms, broccoli rabe, and frizzled cubes of pancetta. There was no heavy sauce - just the fresh flavors of the vegetables and the smoky, salty pancetta. Really good. They had two Chianti classico choices, so we had a great wine with the meal too.
