Azure Cafe - A Taste of Italy on the Coast of Maine

Freeport Maine Dining on Main Street - Two Doors North of LL Bean. Dine outdoors under colorful umbrellas in season. Casual lunch with Maine seafood & Italian favorites by day, upscale dining by night. Full Bar & creative cocktails.

The menu includes Italian favorites such as lasagna and eggplant, chicken or veal Parmesan. Standout dishes include the Maine seafood cakes, mussels cooked in a cast-iron skillet and fried calamari. Main course selections run the gamut; there’s veal Marsala, Sicilian-style cioppino with lobster, clams, white fish and mussels in a spicy tomato broth; wild Maine blueberry barbecue salmon, and spring ravioli made with North End ricotta.

The wine list is distinctive, offering rare bottlings with good vintage age as well as more approachable choices moderately priced. Menu available at http://www.azurecafe.com.
