Quanto Basta Review - East End - Portland, ME - The Infatuation
"Quanto Basta translates to “just enough” in Italian, but that’s an awfully humble tagline for this East End pizza spot, natural wine bar, and restaurant that’s home to a gorgeous wood oven. What began as a mobile pizza truck, is now a casual, counter-service restaurant for a nice Happy Hour, new date hang, or even a little dinner with your kids at the bar. Come for the thin, Neapolitan pizza that highlights the seasonal produce in Maine on a tender, naturally leavened sourdough that is somehow both crisp and chewy. Yes, they do a good margherita, but our pick is La Stagione: Quanto Basta’s rotating special that features anything from local arugula and pea shoots to Italian horse mackerel and pickled maitake mushrooms." - Alana Dao
