Reviews for Mama Dimatteo's in Bar Harbor, ME
Easily the best restaurant we went to in Bar Harbor. We wanted to get something different after getting tired of lobster and... being disappointed by some other restaurants in this area. I kept it simple with the Spaghetti Marinara with Meatballs andwhile the spaghetti itself was exactly what you would expect, their meatballs just took it to another level. They were packedwith flavor and I just wish they had given me more than two! My wife got the Pan Browned Gnocchi and after trying some of hersI regretted not having ordered that for myself. It was absolutely amazing.. I don't know how they made that but wow.. Everythingwas cooked perfectly and it may be the best italian meal I've ever tasted. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that theygave us some veggies on the side in the form of brussel sprouts. We're not sure how they were cooked but they tasted great andwe just scarfed it down. If we're ever back in Bar Harbor we'd definitely come here again. Read more
Food and service were top notch. I truly don't understand how this place only has 4.1 stars (as of 9/7/22). The Garlic Haddock... and Mac and Lobster were delicious and the serving size plentiful. The homemade focaccia and the baked cheese for appetizerswere great as well. Don't miss this place! Read more
We were looking for some good Italian food after having eaten a LOT of Lobster and Clam Chowder over the past few days, and were... lucky enough to find Mama Dimatteo?s! We had a very good dinner there! We were so happy to find this place! My wife had theFettuccine Alfredo and thought it was pretty good. I had the Eggplant Parmesan and it was delicious! It was quite possibly thebest I?ve had! We also enjoyed some Baked Cheese as an appetizer and loved it! Our server, Alex, was very friendly, helpful,gracious, and attentive! Parking in Bar Harbor is challenging this time of year, but we found an on street spot about 2 blocksaway. No biggie? They have indoor and outdoor seating available. We had made reservations and our table was ready when wearrived. I would recommend this place highly and will return myself again when I can! Read more
This place was Amazing,I really enjoyed eating dinner here. I got buttered spaghetti its not on their menu. I ordered this... because I prefer more simplistic dishes due to my sensory issues. Our server Kira didn?t miss a beat in writing my odder downand sending it off to the kitchen. She is quite possibly the best server at any restaurant I?ve ever been to. We sat in thegarden outside, which was quite beautiful especially at night. The garden beds have all sorts of herbs ,tomatoes and squash.That they use in their cooking as well as flowers. The roasted garlic as an appetizer was just divine with their bread. Over allthis was a ten out of ten experience. With crème brûlée and local ice cream for desert! Read more
The food was absolutely amazing! This restaurant seems like a hidden gem. I?m surprised it is not packed! Please don?t get... offended by Alex, he is great just had a matter of fact personality. We had chicken gnocchi and garlic Parmesan haddock. For anappetizer we had the rossotto cheese ball which was delicious! Read more
Ordered the gnocchi and it was great, but chicken was not flavored whatsoever, so I just picked that out. Two members in our... party ordered the beef & mushroom ravioli only to be completely let down by the incredibly small portions. $6 per ravioli, anddefinitely not worth it. We ordered the bread & it was phenomenal. We ate an hour before closing and had a sweet older woman asour waitress. She was always checking in on us, brought out little bowls of vegetables along with cheese for all plates. Verypersonal and kind server! It was a great dining area, rather clean & quiet. Just wish they had the menu available on the websitewith prices listed for tourists, and maybe some photos as well. Read more
Wow! This was the best dining experience we had in Bar Harbor. It?s very easy to miss this hidden gem. It?s not on the main... roads and is in a quiet corner of downtown. The patio has beautiful flowers and fireplaces and inside is a charming mid centurycoastal vibe, very basic, but elegant. The service was attentive and felt slowed down and personal, not just another table toturn. The food was amazing, cooked and seasoned perfectly and the bottles of wine were reasonably priced. 12/10 would recommend. Read more
Was very disappointed tonight with our meal. We had been a couple times about two or three years ago. Was quite surprised how... the food has gone down hill. We used to sit outside, two rows of seating with heaters. Atmosphere b ack then was great. Thistime had to sit in Bar area to take part in 1/2 price drinks. That shouldn't be the case. Food this time was bland. HadFettuccine Alfredo. I could have could alot better. For an Italian restaurant you would think garlic bread and salad would beincluded.Sorry to say this was our favorite place and won't be back. I can't complain about waitress. She was great. Read more
