Osteria Bucci

Damariscotta ME - I visited this new restaurant in Damariscotta a few days ago.  It is a "hole in the wall" in one of the alleys.

I was greeted by Bernie who owns this establishment.  He wanted to create a place with a feeling of visiting grandmother's house in Italy.

To create that feeling he has this table for patrons to sit around and talk.  On the walls he has photos of his grandparents. You can almost hear "Nonna" say, "Stay for lunch, I just made some Eggplant Parmesana".

Prices are very reasonable, a cup of coffee is a dollar.  Patrons are encouraged to stay, sit around Grandma's table, and just talk.
