Enoteca Athena

Midcoast Maine


Have a date night at this smart but casual Mediterranean nook, where you can sample racks of extra virgin olive oil or indulge in dishes like halibut poached in white wine, housemade bucatini with guanciale (an Italian cured meat), or foraged mushrooms served with local vegetables and fresh ricotta.
