"This steakhouse is a hidden gem ! Everytime we have been here it’s as good as the last. The staff, the owner and the food are amazing! You can tell the owner really cares about his restaurant and takes pride in it . We take an hour trip just to come here ! If you are ever in Ogunquit and looking to have a different experience make a reservation here. You will not be disappointed! The desserts are also amazing!"

"I was very impressed with this Brazilian steakhouse. It’s the only one in Maine that we could find. It’s roughly $100 a person after drinks and tipping for me and my wife on our anniversary it was 155 plus tip. And we live near Augusta so it was a 2 hour drive. All that being said we felt it was worth both the money and the drive. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect. I think we will be making Bonissoni a tradition for our family.
We did visit pre tourist season so it wasn’t filled to capacity so for us quite enough to have a civilized conversation the music was helped set the perfect tone and the staff was friendly and non intrusive but still attentive.
They take reservations and based on where they are located I would definitely recommend having one"

"Food and service was top notch! The atmosphere was incredible also. All food was hot, they always made sure you had new food, got to try all of the cuts! The pork was on the dryer side but still delicious"

Steakhouse – This is a very casual steak house with not-to-be-missed homemade sides. They don’t take reservations and the wait is long but it’s a must try for a local “a cheap and cheerful” steak dinner. We always order a steak with a salad and side of baked beans, applesauce and house potatoes.
