In case you%26#39;ll be in the area (or just haven%26#39;t tried it yet!), one of our favorite stops on our trip was in South Portland at the Terre Cotta Pasta Company. They have a huge range of delicious frozen pastas (many different filled raviolis) and frozen sauces - perfect for taking back to your rental for an amazing Italian dinner! We were thrilled that our hotel had a kitchenette so that we could enjoy our purchases. They also have lots of prepared items that you can pick up for a quick to-go lunch (no seating available) or dinner. Hot soups, prepared salads, desserts, breads, etc. are all quick choices. After the staff found out that we were new to the store, they truly went out of their way to be sure that we understood all of the items, tried their favorite sauces and breads - they were one of the best parts of the visit! Once we said we%26#39;d love to take a few things for a picnic at the lighthouse (it%26#39;s right on the road leading to the park), they offered to heat up our stuffed pizza bread before we left. My husband loved the olive oil -- the taste was great, and they sell bottles that can be brought back to the store and refilled for a reduced price. We would have loved to try more while we were there, but just didn%26#39;t have enough time -- and, unfortunately they don%26#39;t ship their items yet! Hopefully someone else will give it a try and have the same yummy experience that were had there!
