Rockland’s celebrated Primo restaurant is marking its 25th anniversary with a star chef-studded “Diva Dinner” this Saturday.
The dinner features a collaboration between Primo’s chef-owner Melissa Kelly, and five of her longtime chef friends, including Jody Adams of Trade and Porto in Boston and the former Rialto in Cambridge; Kathleen Blake of The Rusty Spoon in Orlando, Florida.; Ilma Lopez of Portland’s Chaval and Ugly Duckling; and pastry chef Emily Luchetti, formerly of New York City’s The Silver Palate and San Francisco’s influential restaurant, Stars.
Chef Larry Forgione, who mentored Kelly at An American Place in New York City, will also be on hand as a “divo.”
An exclusive meet-and-greet will kick off the evening at 4:30 p.m. with cocktails, appetizers and a chance to meet the guest chefs, each of whom is contributing a signature plate to the five-course meal, which begins at 6 p.m.
The dinner costs $275 per person, and the meet-and-greet is $100.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
