We had an excellent experience dining here. As a vegetarian, I’m always curious if an Italian place has good veg options. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and I thought it was excellent. I loved the crispy edges and thought the sauce was so fresh. My friends had the two types of gnocchi and they were both awesome too.

An excellent Italian restaurant in Slubtown of Portland Oregon. I have bee coming here for sometime. The food here is excellent their menu includes many dishes of pasta, meat and fish. Menus items on the many have good variety unlike many other Italian restaurants in Portland. Their service is really good, this is the only restaurant in Portland that I don’t have to pour wine myself. (I find very odd that I have to pour wine to my glass myself when a bottle of wine is ordered. So far other establishments do not even try to pour their customers’ glass.) My pet peeve here. Anyway I don’t have to pour myself.

I liked the settings. Service was good and waiters were nice and friendly. We ordered filet bites, Zucchini Carpaccio, Potato Croquettes, Bombolotti Sugo di Carne, Linguini Prawns Fra Diavolo lamb chops. Filet bites tasted the best out of all the foods that we ordered. The rest tasted just ok, nothing to make us come back again.

Lovely little Italian restaurant, perfect for a special evening out. It’s a Portland-formal spot: people are there for special occasions but it’s still a bit casual. Tasty food and nice wine available. Parking, as always in that area, is a bit of a hassle. Patio a nice option on sunny days.

Great Italian food. The wine list is pretty average, but they do have deals on corkage if you’re a member at Willamette Wine Storage. The food was delicious. Overall, it was a nice place but a little spendy for some food options. We’ll be back.

One of the best Italian meals I’ve had in a long time. From the appetizers through dessert, everything was fresh, flavorful, and a refreshing change from the “drown everything in cheese and sauce’ approach many Italian restaurants take. The roasted chicken was absolutely on point. Friendly service, a dog-friendly outdoor patio, and nicely done cocktails…what more could you want?

The prices were extraordinarily high. Everything a la carte, no cooked vegetables available.

This was a delicious dinner. We had the fried goat cheese, lamb gnoochi, and new York strup. All were well balanced and good portions. Alex was so helpful and knowledgeable. Wonderful first visit, we’ll definitely be back! Also they had air-conditioning huge plus in this heat wave!!
