Discover the Best Pasta Dish in Portland, Maine: A Comfort Food Favorite
Winter has officially arrived in the great state of Maine, marking the start of two major seasons: ski season and comfort food season. Although, let's be honest, isn't it always comfort food season?
It's hard for it not to be, especially if you're in Portland or the surrounding area. The local food scene is irresistible, pulling you in and keeping you indulging in its culinary delights.
But winter really seems to amplify the craving for comfort food. The bone-chilling cold and harsh weather certainly have a way of making us yearn for hearty, calorie-packed, and carb-filled dishes that warm us from the inside out.
This leads us right into today's subject, comfort food. One of the world's most beloved comfort foods is the subject of a brand-new article from the popular foodies over at LoveFood. The site selected the best bowl of pasta in every state. And they did not miss with their choice for the Pine Tree State. Maine's selection for best was the Lobster Diavolo at Portland's iconic Street and Co.
Why Street and Co.'s Lobster Diavolo is Maine's Top Pasta Dish
Trust me when I say this dish is the perfect choice. It embodies everything that makes Maine special: a fresh, locally sourced seafood medley paired with perfectly cooked pasta. Is there anything more soul-warming than that?
Street and Co.'s signature Lobster Diavolo begins with a generous seafood stew featuring mussels, calamari, clams, and a variety of other fresh seafood delicacies. This is then combined with a hefty portion of lobster and linguini. And to top it off, it's drenched in an indulgent amount of butter and garlic. This dish is fit for royalty—or anyone who appreciates incredible food. Finding a pasta dish in Maine that rivals this hearty masterpiece will be no easy task.
