ETK Dining Guide 2023-2024

The future looks bright

A

After three years of ups and downs, changes and adjustments, the 2023 dining scene can be summed up in one phrase: FULL SPEED AHEAD.

Old favorites like Alisson’s, Fed’s, Sebago and Duffy’s are already in the swing of the season, feeding people on a daily basis.

But there’s a LOT of new stuff happening:

Laura Dolce Executive Director Kennebunk Kennebunkport Arundel Chamber of Commerce

• Stripers has a new chef and we’re hearing raves.

• Smoke BBQ opened on Route 1 in Kennebunk and people can’t get enough. Burnt ends, anyone?

• The new owners at the Kennebunk Inn have made it their own, renaming the restaurant The Tavern and adding new dishes.

• Holy Donut is FINALLY open - and people are loving it.

• And speaking of love, Kport Bagels opened at the Morning Walk Cottages and people are flocking there.

• Mornings in Paris opened a great new Creperie just down the driveway.

• The White Barn Inn is celebrating its 50th anniversary of fine dining with a guest chef series. Favorite Jonathan Cartwright headlines on June 9.

• Rococo Ice Cream has moved to a FABULOUS, larger space in the Shipyard Shops (near Federal Jack’s), formerly the home of Honeymaker Mead Works.

• The Kennebunkport Resort Collection has opened Via Sophia in the space that formerly housed Pearl, and is opening Rosella - the Kennebunks’ first sustainable sushi restaurant - in The Grand Hotel.

• And Chef German Lucarelli, of The Lost Fire fame, bought the former Pier 77/The Ramp property and has BIG plans (you’ll see more on that in the following pages). With stronger staffing, this may finally be the season where things feel back to normal and what a blessed relief that is.

So loosen those waistbands and get ready to dine out like it’s 2019 again!

German Lucarelli’s cookbook released last year was a No. 1 seller on Amazon, and still folks came into The Lost Fire to buy an autographed copy.

Dining scene :

This year it’s “full speed ahead”

By Laura Dolce Executive Director

GGerman Lucarelli had a busy 2022, with the growing success of his restaurant, The Lost Fire, the popularity of the outdoor space, Luca, and the release of his new Lost Fire cookbook.

“Lost Fire is well-established now,” he said of the restaurant known for its prime grilled steaks and other meats. “We always search for the best meat — Wagyu, lamb, whatever is freshest

in the market.”

And as for his cookbook, Lucarelli said his publisher had done very well by it.

“I’m amazed by the response,” he said. “It was number one on Amazon.”

People often come into the restaurant to buy an autographed copy, though the book is available in local shops and online through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. But compared to what Lucarelli

the future looks bright

has going on in 2023, last year looks like a cakewalk.

At the end of last year the chef purchased the building formerly occupied by Pier 77 and The Ramp (at 77 Pier Road in Cape Porpoise) and his dreams for the space will be realized this spring.

Upstairs: Ultramar, seafood grill and a raw bar, not to mention killer views. It takes its name from the mythical place European sailors sought for centuries, one where the ocean would bring them untold riches.

Open for dinner, the new space will be handicap accessible and have an

expanded bar. It will be helmed by Chef Alejandro Crespo.

“He’s a friend,” Lucarelli said. “He’s very passionate about food and we have the same ideas and approach to seafood.”

Downstairs, Lucarelli will create Casa Seventy Seven Osteria, open for lunch and dinner.

“It’s about comfort food,” he said, “having a good time with friends.”

And while the two restaurants will occupy the space in the building, he has a third treat planned on-site: Dos Elenas, a gelato and ice cream truck,

Now that The Lost Fire is well established, Lucarelli said he’s ready to expand his reach again.

Rosella sushi comes to KPT Lucarell isn’t the only one making a splash this summer.

The Kennebunkport Resort Collection is coming up on the one-year anniversary of its beautiful Via Sophia by the Sea, an extension of the Via Sophia at the Hamilton Hotel in Washington, D.C.

The restaurant, in the space formerly occupied by Pearl, made its debut last summer and quickly became a favorite.

It’s a place “where classic Italian dishes and fresh-from-the-boat seafood are paired with bespoke beverages and a discerning wine list.”

Not resting on its laurels, the KRC is launching the widely anticipated Rosella KPT this summer — the first sustainable sushi restaurant in the Kennebunks.

It will be located in the Grand Hotel, on Western Avenue in Lower

Village, and is also a branch of its parent restaurant, Rosella in NYC.

“Rosella was originally founded on the principle to nurture the uniquely interconnected relationships that make up our ecosystem,” according to a press release, “and will introduce its responsibly farmed and caught sushi to Kennebunk, Maine’s emerging culinary destination.”

So get those taste buds ready - you’re in for a culinary treat in 2023!

Via Sophia by the Sea serves up classic Italian dishes and fresh-from-the-boat seafood.

Via Sophia by the Sea opened last summer in Lower Village Kennebunk, an extension of the restaurant in Washington, D.C.
