Named after the chef/owner’s grandmother, Angelina’s has a long list of Italian classics and has been described as the most authentic Italian food and wine restaurant in Maine. The ambience is compared to an Italian villa in Tuscany, so whether your visit is a celebration of Valentine’s Day, or perhaps a more
auspicious event (proposal, maybe?), you will make a lasting memory here.

While you are on that much needed break from shiftlessness, check out the
outdoor events at Laudholm Farm for the month of February. From wildlife
tracking to exploring “nature through a variety of creative lenses”, to
invigorating, (and possibly romantic) moonlit treks, there are plenty of
adventures to keep cabin fever at a minimum. Additionally, if a proposal has
been made while feasting on Italian specialties, or gazing in your loved one’s
eyes on a moonlit walk, inquire about the Farm’s wedding venue. You’re there,
after all.

Enjoy a Treat from a Local Icon
Ever drive by Congdon’s Restaurant at 1090 Post Rd., Wells, ME and wonder
why cars are lined up on Rt. 1, and people are congregating out the door?
Simply put, Congdon’s strive for the best in everything and, according to Food
and Wine’s list of “Best Doughnuts in Every State”, (2022), they have achieved
their goal.
Originally located in Kennebunk in 1945, the most popular item on their menu
was and continues to be doughnuts. The business relocated to Wells in 1955
where doughnuts continue to be #1, but their apple fritters are not to be missed
either.
The family business continued to expand and now, in addition to the restaurant,
which serves a family friendly menu, they added their “Food Truck Park After
Dark” in 2017, a seasonal home to 10 food trucks, two bars, live entertainment,
and 100 plus picnic tables for a whole lot of family fun throughout the summer
season. It is the only food truck park in New England operating daily during the
summer. Free parking and admission.
Sign up for Congdon’s Reward Club to earn points toward a “Loyalty
Certificate”, redeemable for free food or merchandise.
Be sure to visit Congdon’s while on vacation in Wells and you will understand
why cars line up before dawn. congdons.com
