Chef Cathy Whims serves up perfect oven-roasted pizzas (which is based on a venerable sourdough brought over form Nice), elegant hand-wrought pastas, lusty Italiante steaks, and fire-baked fish dishes
Budino...the best. Can't go wrong with the margherita + prosciutto pizza.
You must get the chocolate budino. No questions asked. :)
We are obsessed with this place! Order everything you can! We’re still dreaming about the Fava Toast, Garganelli, Cavatelli, Lamb Leg, and the Broccoli.
Bartender Evan Zimmerman is behind the menu. The eight-item cocktail list features unexpected flavors like black truffle (in the "Lights Out") and campari seeped with cedar (in the "Pan-Am").
Late night reservations have the added perk of being able to take home a gratis loaf of bread from Roman Candle Bakery...just in case you aren't already full.
The #butternutsquash pasta!!!! Had a myriad of delightful flavors - an instant classic dish. #sage 🍝 Garlic bread, cocktails too.
Gigantic and cheap bowls of handmade pasta without pretension. Always try the Chicken Radiatore, which is an updated chicken cacciatore, complete with crispy chicken skin adornments.
Knock Knock Who's there! Pasta! Pasta who? Pasta fork please!
Start with focaccia and some polpette. Add some wine. And enjoy a half pasta per person, being sure to share (I had the pappardelle with rabbit, which was great). Perfect, simple meal.
Put your name in and then go over to June for a few cocktails. It's worth the wait.
Best stuffed trout ever.
Perfect pasta. Get the fry bread with burrata, both are incredible.
wow ok their pasta is amazing and the potato bites were crispy and salty and perfect
EVERYTHING!!!
The desserts are awesome! Tiramisu and Panna Cotta are fresh.
Favorite Italian restaurant in all of Portland. Terrific/authentic food in a cozy bistro setting.
If you're lucky enough to pop in when they're serving rabbit, I highly recommend it! Read more.
fresh made pasta, good, casual, and have take home packs.
the garlic chili oil is awesome with any pasta (and even better if you add a chicken breast). the spinach salad is always super fresh, and the iced tea is refreshing.
The lasagna with Italian Sausage was really delicious. However, the lemon vinaigrette tossed in the greens was the standout for me. Simple, delicious obviously freshly made. Yum!
Their spaghetti isn't anything special. The crab ravioli is amazing. Garlic mizithra is really good too.
Great location right on the river!
The browned butter and mizithra cheese is the only way to top your pasta.
Terrific food, perfect spot for a semi-nice sit down dinner. Loved the pumpkin ravioli, scallop and every desert. Get the tasting menu, it's a little pricey but totally worth it.
The portion size of my ravioli was COMICALLY small. No wonder this place is always empty.
you're in Portland. you can do better than this place! now get a move on...
Consistently great American Italian comfort food. Always worth the wait.
Good food in generous portions… the chicken parm could feed at least three. Negroni caprese was a super creative cocktail too
Corn ravioli with lobster is incredible!!!!
One of the the best Italian restaurants I have ever been too. Great service, friendly ambiance, and excellent food.
Always great food. Relaxing ambiance and top notch friendly staff.
Really friendly staff and great food. The chef specializes in wild game and there's an extensive wine list
Let's do the painted hills burger and lemon drops...a lethal combo! Leggo
The happy hour burgers are definitely worth checking out! They cook it how you order it. And the crispy onions really top it off!
Get the Penne al Sugo di Carne. That dish has had me returning here as often as possible, in addition to the unbeatable vibe and friendly staff.
Best Italian in all of Portland!
The Caprese is outstanding as are the marinated olives.
Authentic food and atmosphere the staff are attentive and friendly. Try the cherry desert and yes the carbonara is fantastic.
The spaghetti carbonara is SO good.
Add a cup of minestrone to your meal for $3. Add lots of salt and then it's delicious! No mushrooms, fortunately.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
