After many years at the helm of her acclaimed New York City restaurants, Chef Sara, who was born next door in Camden, Maine, but raised in Italy, Spain, and Lebanon, now brings her Mediterranean passion to the magnificent array of products from the bounty of Maine’s oceans and farms. Take the finest Maine has to offer, then give it a fresh, tasty Mediterranean spin—that’s what you’ll find at Nina June (the name comes from Sara’s childhood nickname).

Nina June draws inspiration from two sources: the classic Maine diner where locals gather and talk town politics, and the simple neighborhood trattoria that you might find on a back street of Rome or Florence.
