Bresca Rating Scale


Bresca has been one of my favorite restaurants in Portland ever since they opened in 2007. I like everything on the menu but some of my favorites are the shaved brussels sprouts, roman gnocchi, and the rabbit fricassee. For dessert I highly recommend that you have the buttermilk panna cotta; it easily makes my short list of the Best Things to Eat in Portland.
The Boston Globe dubbed it a "Tiny Treasure of a Restaurant", and Conde Nast Traveler listed Bresca as one of the hottest restaurants in their 2008 global survey of up and coming eateries.
Bresca's menu is available on their website. Photos of Bresca's Chef/Owner Krista Desjarlais cooking are available on Flickr. It's amazing what she accomplishes in such a tiny kitchen. There's a good profile of Krista and her restaurant in Maine Home+Design magazine.
