Ogunquit is located in southeast Maine along the coast. It is not an overly popular golfing location as there is just one golf course within the official boundaries of the town. It does, however, host a few attractions, such as the beach and sea kayaking. For vacationers, the town's appeal lies in its proximity to other big draws. In keeping with this, the restaurants match nearby destination cities, such as York, Old Orchard Beach and Saco, serving casual to gourmet breakfast, lunch and dinner. When members of a party, can't decide what to eat, Italian cuisine pleases even the harshest critics.

Amore Breakfast
A limited number of Italian restaurants exist in Ogunquit; it's a small town. Serving only the first meal of the day, Amore Breakfast possesses an Italian influence. The mild influence stems from the owner and operator, who has Italian roots. With over 15 years in business, Amore Breakfast offers a menu tested by time. The reasonably priced restaurant offers 14 varieties of omelets, such as the Oscar Madison with crabmeat, asparagus, Swiss and bernaise sauce. The restaurant also creates eight versions of the classic Eggs Benedict with ingredients, such as bacon, zucchini, and lobster. The specialty of the restaurant is the French toast stuffed with cream cheese. The restaurant creates about four toppings for the French toast, which draws in tourists and locals.
