The food at this place is amazing. I had a gluten free pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. It did not even taste or look like a gluten free one. So much flavor. Great service as well. Highly recommend, will definitely go back.

It has been a while since I have been to this classic Old Port diner and man it’s nice to be back. Marcy herself is gone (which some might feel is a good thing…), Mandy was friendly and wonderful to chat with between serving up orders. Not a place I was expecting to find a gluten-free option, but she was very pleased to make me a hot GF cinnamon roll (from BamBam Bakery!) with cream cheese frosting made fresh on the spot. Will definitely be back and I look forward to bringing my kids.

The pizza was great! I ordered a thin crust Margherita pizza and my friend ordered a Sicilian slab. Both were good, but I’d definitely get the slab if I went back! Of note, there were not great gluten free options (just salad). However, there were good vegetarian and vegan options!

I have been a few times now. The first day with the new owners I had a waitress who seemed clueless, and when I went back, she was gone. The waitstaff since then has been wonderful! I am celiac and can't have dairy, but I have gotten the burger with a side salad. It is simple and delicious! I have gone with different folks each time and we have eaten our way through much of the menu...nothing has been mediocre yet!

Best meal of the trip! I am gluten-free and was completely safe! My entree was duck and it was some of the best I have ever had. Even the charcuterie board had complimentary flavors beyond what most offer. Do not miss this innovative and delicious food in search of a mediocre lobster roll!

Artemisia is one of Portland's very special small, privately owned cafes. What I appreciate is the friendliness of the wait staff. They are exceptional. The atmosphere is warm (big windows allowing for lots of sun), comfy booths, plants and art makes it very unique. The food is delicious and hot when you get it. They use natural ingredients, have vegan choices and gluten free english muffins. I love it for breakfast. My friend, who is very fussy, likes it too. Years ago, I had an office in this neighborhood, Artemisia is quiet, quaint and yummy.
