Step back in time and embark with us on a journey through the fascinating history of DiMillo’s on The Water, a renowned Portland waterfront restaurant that has been serving the freshest seafood for decades.
It all started back in 1954 when Tony DiMillo, a passionate restaurateur, opened his first eatery, “Anthony’s,” on Fore Street in Portland, Maine. Tony’s creativity and love for fresh seafood led him to coin the catchy slogan, “The clams you eat here today slept last night in Casco Bay.” With this commitment to quality and freshness, Anthony’s quickly gained popularity among locals and visitors alike.
As the 1960s brought significant development to Fore Street, Tony made the decision to relocate Anthony’s to Center Street. This move ensured that the restaurant could continue to thrive and provide its patrons with the same exceptional dining experience they had come to expect.
