Sam Di Pietro Market - South Portland

We’ve been going here for years and years. They’re really great people and great food!

A family market run by a family that has produced award winning chefs. They do mostly light Italian take out. Good Maine Italian sandwiches pizza. Decent wine beer selection. (For the Italian food)

Wow, the steak, onion, pepper, and mushroom sandwich was fantastic—better than I expected! They also had an impressive selection of items to choose from. The person who made our sandwiches even asked us how we liked them after we finished eating in the parking lot. We definitely replied that they were great, though quite messy! They certainly don’t hold back on the fillings.

We passed by this place on our way to the Portland Head Lighthouse, and it caught our interest, so we decided to stop by on our way back. As soon as we entered, we noticed two things: first, it was a market with no seating available, but that wasn't an issue for us. Second, it was packed with locals, which is exactly what we were looking for. We ordered some fantastic sandwiches and took them to Bug Light Park. Wow! These sandwiches were excellent and a great value for the price.

Delicious Italian subs, chicken parmigiana sandwiches, pizza, and a variety of prepared pasta, salads, and other dishes. If you're in a rush, you can quickly grab cold penne or tortellini pasta, or chicken or eggplant parmigiana from their cooler and heat them up at home. They also have a liquor store!
