★★★★★
They have the best chicken parm. Huge portions, and the Alfredo sauce is something you'll never forget. Great place to come with family.

★★★★★
The beef short rib and gnocchi is a delightful plate of food. My wife had the Chicken Parmesan with fettuccine Alfredo and it was also great. For dessert, you have to try their bread pudding.

The food was really good and the service was outstanding. The price was very reasonable for the quality. I will definitely be going back.

It was my wife and I's first time here and we will definitely become regulars! The hostess welcomed us right in and said 'let's get you two fed!'

Our Story

A Century of Italian Hospitality

In 1997, Judi Stanley opened the Ivy Manor Inn in Bar Harbor, Maine, an eight-room bed and breakfast with a fine-dining restaurant. With Chef William Sellner soon at her side, the kitchen earned a AAA Four Diamond rating for 20 consecutive years.

In 2013, Judi opened Pascone's Ristorante on the same property, drawing on her mother's Italian heritage. Pascone was the family name. In 2018 she brought Pascone's to Florida, opening the New York-style Italian dining room you know today.
