Featuring Paolo Laboa, international chef from Genoa, Italy. Solo Italiano combines the traditional with the modern, Maine freshness with Genovese flavor.
Paolo Laboa’s journey started in his mothers kitchen, where he learned the secrets of real Genovese cooking, the pinnacle of Northern Italian cuisine. Every ingredient chef Paolo touches is fresh from the farm to his kitchen to your table. Some of his favorite farms are Stonecipher farm, Dandelion springs farm, Valley Farm, Olivia’s Garden for basil and herbs, and North spore for foraged mushrooms. Fresh fish is brought in each day by either Upstream, Harbor fish market or Browne Trading Co. He also sources things like wild rabbit from Sumner Valley Farm, lamb and pork from Two Cove Farm, while our dairy comes from a variety these farmers as well.
“Cooking is what I love and I want each ingredient to sing. Simplicity is my goal. If there are five ingredients, I want you to taste all five of them.” Portland reminds Paolo very much of Genova, Italy. “I love having the sea in front and the mountains and forest in the back, so many different food flavors to work with”, says chef Paolo.
