What Italian restuarant have you ever been to that only has 2 types of pasta and spaghetti isn't one of them? The spot and atmosphere is wonderful but the food is so-so. Not sure why they have such a great reputation when there are so many better places out there?! more

I think as an owner of a restaurant, it is extremely important to listen to our customer's feedback. When I read this review, I was a little bit confused as to the point the customer was trying to make. It seems that the customer's complaint is based on lack of pasta on our menu. Here is where I'm confused, we...

The food and service are always top notch, but Roger seems to think he can be rude to anyone who brings up an issue. We were having a wonderful dinner one evening, when the staff started vacuuming. I made a positive comment on how great the dinner was, but asked if they could wait until after we left. He listened,... more

If you visit Wells and consider yourself a Foodie, you MUST try Varano's. My wife and I are here from Seattle and have tried it 3 times already. Everything we've had is awesome. It's got a very upscale menu, not your typical spaghetti and meatballs Italian variety (although I'm sure it's on the menu). We've eaten at some of the... more

We have visited Varano's many times during our trips to Maine. The sauce is great. I often have simply spaghetti & meatballs. The veal parm is also a favorite. My husband tried the Braccioletinne and raved about it! Can't wait to visit again more

My friend and I recently spent a long weekend in Wells Beach, and enjoyed dinner at Varano's. I travel to NYC twice a year, and Varano's equalled the best of Little Italy. Charlie, the bartender in the downstairs bar, was a real gentleman. When I mentioned that my friend and I are soft spoken women, and that the dining room... more

Being all adults we were able to eat downstairs at the bar where it was quieter and still had a full menu. The food is excellent! We tried 3 different apps and entrees and all did not disappoint. My only regret is that we did not go back again, but we will..... more

Everything about this place is inviting vrom the greeting by the host, to the service staff to the excellent wine list , to the food. This is easily the equal of any restautant in the North End or New York. We'll be... more
