Cottage Street, Bar Harbor, Maine
Handmade pasta every morning, Maine lobster every night. The same little dining room since 1998, steps from the harbor.
Rosa opened this little dining room on Cottage Street in 1998 with her mother's recipe book and a single pasta machine. Twenty-six years later, the machine still runs every morning. So does Rosa.
Everything that can be made in-house, is: the tagliatelle, the marinara that simmers all afternoon, the tiramisu that regulars call in to reserve before dinner.
Doors open at 4:30. By then the marinara has simmered all afternoon, and regulars have already called in to reserve tonight's tiramisu.
“The lobster ravioli is the best thing I ate in all of Maine.”

“Rosa greeted every single table. You can taste that somebody cares.”
