Now, treat yourself to a night at <strong>Roberto\u2019s Restaurant, 200 Shore Road<\/strong>. You deserve it. It\u2019s classic North End Boston meets the seagulls and drama of breezy <strong>Ogunquit<\/strong>. Awnings, paintings (hey, we\u2019re in an art colony), hardwood floors. Lucky there\u2019s valet parking\u2014this place is packed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Our guide for this adventure is a bottle of Valpolicella\u2014Secco-Bertani Valpantena Ripasso, 2012 ($40)\u2014with fresh Tuscan Garlic Bread ($5.50) and olive oil. After devouring the Vegetable Mediterranean Stack ($11), zesty with \u201cwilted spinach, grilled eggplant, portabella, roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella, grilled zucchini, and basil oil,\u201d we dip into the Cioppino ($35)\u2014\u201cMaine lobster meat, shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, fish, in marinara broth over linguini.\u201d Mmm! The Eggplant Parmigiana served with pasta ($21) is a great way to satisfy a traveler on a chilly fall night. Total for a romantic dinner for two is $161, including tip. Did I mention we\u2019re in a hurry? Zipping up a side road, we could easily make it to a seasonal show at <strong>Ogunquit Playhouse<\/strong> with time to spare. We\u2019ve driven past Roberto\u2019s many times without realizing how easy the parking is out back or how fun the experience is. It may not be the new place on the street\u2014it\u2019s been in business for over 30 years. But if you dare to tilt Maine sideways and see Ogunquit with a fresh eye, who knows what new experiences await? We dare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p4\"><em><span class=\"s2\">Roberto\u2019s, 200 Shore Road, Ogunquit.
