“I took my wife here on our first date a long time ago. We wanted a place that had a good vibe and where we could catch up with old friends. While we waited for our table to be set, we had a chance to meet the owner. He was interesting and funny. He really cares about this place and customers. The food was delicious, service great, and the bartender is top notch. We were a group of 4 and we all had the Ziti with Vodka sauce and sausage. A great evening. I'll be back.“

“Fillmore Trattoria is our favorite dining experience in Portland. We have eaten there for 8 years on our visits to Portland. It is truly where the locals eat. The Food is excellent and Spencer and Emma are wonderful cooks and hosts. I highly recommend eating there.“

“Gumba, I love you. This is my third time eating here and today I fell in love even more. We started with the burrata and fry bread and damn that was amazing. Then the calamari arrived and damn that was amazing. We shared the tagliatelle with duck confit , pappardelle, and the squid ink and damn they were all so so amazing. Every bit was perfection. No other Italian restaurant compares to Gumba.“

“No resys, just walk ins and it's busy but going earlier is always best or be prepared to wait a bit. It's more than worth it, the food is fire and with the portions it still feels like a lot but it's nice to try a little of everything. My favorite is the pesto and oyster mushroom pasta dish and the radiatore with lamb! Great wine selection as well. Quaint small and nice spot.“

“Such a cute place run by the sweetest people. Perfect Portland atmosphere. They open at 5 pm and there was already a line of people at 4:45 waiting to get in. Since the menu is small (changes every week) so they can whip out orders quickly. High quality, delicious food. Indoor and outdoor seating. It was worth the 40 minute drive we took to get here!“

“Had a great meal here on Friday night, including some of the best gluten free pasta we've ever had. Service was lovely, very professional and we were treated well. Was a nice evening out. We did make a reservation, which was ready and waiting for us. I would recommend reserving a table before hand as it gets quite busy. Can't wait to go back!“
“We have been dining at Gilda’s for 6 months. Thank you to our friends Linda and Paul for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. It is a family owned restaurant and the pride of the naturally sourced ingredients is very evident. Everything is made in house. The service is exemplary! Go, you won’t be sorry!“

“First I want to say that the Alfredo pizza was the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had. The food here is 10/10 with some of the best vegan food in all of Portland. However, the service was horrible, we had to work to get our waiters attention to get more water and asked for our bill twice before receiving it. With a no tipping policy in place I feel there was no incentive to provide good service.“

“The deep dish pizza and salads are to die for. The restaurant was clearly a little short-handed but our waitress did a good job of keeping us happy. We love the decor, especially when it is warm enough to open the sliding doors. Hopefully that will be soon.“

“Such a great restaurant! My wife had recently been put on a gluten and dairy free exclusion diet and they were able to accommodate and everything was still absolutely delicious. Service is phenomenal and it’s a really beautiful restaurant.“

“NY style pizza from a food truck? You betcha. Top PDX pizza places for NY style pizza are usually Escape from NY, SFNY, SIZZLE Pie, Baby Doll but now you can add Giants NY to the list. Ordered an 18” Pepperoni pie and everything about it is just right. The fold, the cheese pull, the taste, Yumm! Also ordered a sausage calzone because it is so rare to find a calzone here that contains ricotta cheese. This was huge and full of goodness. That ricotta sure hits the spot!“

“I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely this place is. I especially liked the ambiance and the coloring of the restaurant. My friend and I got the tagliatelle with crab and the risotto. Both were so delicious, light and well balanced with all the flavors.“

They were honest and transparent of the wait time.I ordered the prosciutto and green olive pie.Pizza was cooked to perfection and you can tell the ingredients were fresh! Pizza was delicious and I don’t even like olives! Seriously, I’ll be coming in and trying all their other pies.Will come again.“

“We Loved Serrato's. We have been going there since the Nineties, and go about once a month. Two negative notes. It was extremely noisy and conversation was almost impossible. I know it's true of almost all restaurants these - they lack of tablecloths doesn't help. and the prices seem to have gone up a deal. However, IT IS STILL A GREAT RESTAURANT. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is just sensational, and ether's valet parking. apart from minor irritations, it's heaven on earth!“

“What a wonderful night out with friends. Bar Mingo has a great atmosphere. We started at the bar enjoying house bread and a few glasses of wine while we waited for our table.The staff was super amazing and we never wanted for anything.The food speaks for itself. Just look at these photos. The lasagna was out of this world and I guess Wednesday are is Risotto night.I went home very satisfied“

“I had one of the best dishes that I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Upon the waitresses enthusiastic recommendation (she seemed really excited about it) I went with the Boscaiola with pasta instead of ravioli. Every bite I took I closed my eyes to just enjoy the explosion of flavors. Hands down best food ever. Highly recommend but don’t forget your reservation!“

“Food was lovely, pasta had a perfect portion size if you’re just in the middle of being hungry and not. Service was good, just took a little long because it was a friday night. Atmosphere was not the best, there was a rowdy table behind my family that just put off out our whole vibe for the night and was very overwhelming for being outside around a lot of other people. (if you easily get overstimulated I suggest eating inside) Totally not the restraints fault, just an unlucky role of the dice“

“On my first visit, I went with a group and we shared nearly the entire pasta menu family-style. Before we even left, I was texting a friend about how they needed to try this place because each dish was, individually, the best pasta dish I’d ever had. On the next visit, I heard the table to the left of me say “This is the best bolognese I’ve ever had.” Earlier in the night the table to the right of me couldn’t stop talking about how the chicken cavatelli was their favorite pasta they’d ever had.So, come to Montelupo for the best pasta you’ll ever have!“

“Had a lovely dinner here tonight. The food was delicious and the service attentive. We shared the casa, radiatore, lamb chops and tiramisu. I fully recommend this place for a special dinner or a night out. Also a nice neighborhood to walk around (we went to the nearby bible study speakeasy before our meal).“

“Authentic panzerotti experience ! 10/10The owner was so friendly and a pleasure chatting with. Was a mandatory stop before ending our trip in Portland and driving back to Vancouver, Canada. Tasted like we were back in Bari, Italy. It’s all about the Barese! Bravo!“

“I applaud you for being open!!! I ordered my food Togo on the phone. When I got there front door was open with a table blocking which there was a sign order here. I went to back door which was closed, I opened cause I guessed maybe that’s where you get your food Togo and it was to be picked up there. I come thru he said you order from the front( also didn’t really give me a chance to politely saying anything) and noted there was another guy in there that looked to be picking up food as well. Then went to the front he come to the front door with a iPad to take my order and I say a order Togo for Robbie. Then was “owe ok”. Get home the food was great some of the best pie I have ever had! Only reason I explained this was I think clear signage would make this transaction easier. This is a very tough time and people want to be safe. I also LIKED he asked to pay Cc over the phone and asking for the tip ahead of time does limits person contact. Will be back!“

“I was in town sort of visiting after helping move my daughter and her boyfriend to the Portland area. we randomly met the owner of this restaurant and thought we'd give it a try after seeing the menu online. Instantly loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in to be seated!!! The waitstaff was friendly and awesome, than the food came and it was delicous and off the charts amazing!!! presentation, portion size and taste was perfect in my book. I loved it!!! Great experience!!!“

“Sorbu’s food tonight brought me back to my hometown, Livorno. Perfect rendition of the classic “5 e 5 con le melanzane” like you can find in the streets of Livorno, and a Porchetta sandwich as it could have been served by a legendary paninoteca from my youth (the salsa verde is the real deal). We’ll be back! Thanks to fellow Tuscan-Portlander for the recommendation!“

“I walked up to order and saw loads of basil in front of me getting ready to be turned into something delicious. I ordered a small order of arancini balls. I was delighted that I could choose different ones on the same order. They had 4 varieties and all sounded amazing. I ordered the original mozz and the pepperoni and mozz. Then I could choose from 4 different sauces and I chose the original marinara. These were so good along with the sauce that I can’t wait to go back and try all of them but next time I’m ordering the large for sure! Additionally I ordered the Italian chopped salad and added grilled chicken and soppressata dry cured ham. It was an explosion of flavors! The grilled chicken was so good along with the ham. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Next I’m trying either the eggplant parm sub of the vegan pesto pasta, especially after witnessing the mound-o-basil. I won’t be forgetting the large aracini balls either ;)“

“I decided to try Big Foot Pizza on a whim tonight and was not disappointed! The crust was perfect, not to hard or chewy, lots of flavor and held together nicely. The amount of sauce and toppings was amazing. It's almost like they knew me (without knowing me)LOLI am definitely coming back and adding to my list of top pizza places here in Portland!“

“This place is marketed as a dive online, but it's more like a casual bar and restaurant. The cocktail program and menu are incredible, really tasty and perfectly prepared. Staff is friendly and made sure I got the meatballs on my rigatoni. And I could eat and entire jar of the pickled cauliflower. I just moved into the neighborhood and I will be back often“

“First time at Noodles. I’ve heard a lot of good things and was super excited to go. This restaurant has been around for many years.Ordered the chicken alfredo and cheesy garlic bread. It was amazing!Portions were perfect and the bread was out of this world good. Would have given it four stars but the seating was limited and I think next time I might take it to go instead.“

“I recently came back to have some lunch here after about a year. And I'm glad I did. Everything I've tried so far hits the spot. Atleast my spot. Came in around 11:30 and it was starting to get fairly busy. Not many places to sit inside but that is no problem. There hot sandwiches are fantastic as well as there cold ones. Whatever you're in the mood for, there sandwiches will fulfill your craving. If you have not tried them go check it out“

“I live in this area and never really noticed this restaurant from the outside because the exterior is nothing special and the dim lighting inside doesn't give you a hint of the festivities inside. But after reading about it on a website for best Italian restaurants, I went for dinner with a friend. We sat at the counter (and were able to order ala carte, there was no tasting menu only). Overall, the vibe is friendly neighborhood restaurant that's a bit high-end. The dishes are bit pricey (and like some people said already, the portions, especially the antipasti, are on the small end) but the flavors and cooking are really well done. The pasta of course was perfectly fresh (we had the agnolotti) and the pork tomahawk special of the day ($53) was an interesting mix of pork chop and chorizo. Service was super attentive, but like others said, maybe too attentive because they check on you so often that at one point I felt I couldn't really enjoy the meal with all the interruptions. I can see how this is a great place to celebrate a special occasion and the quality is first rate, people just need to be prepared for what it is, which is slightly smaller dishes at premium prices. With an Italian menu, there are several courses (like a primi and secondi) so if you want to do all courses, including desserts, then probably can share. But if you're not planning to do multiple dishes, then the serving size is good for one person.“

“Best pizza joint in PDX from my family of pizza snobs lol.Wood fired, so not New Haven style exactly, but pretty darn close for what you'll find in the metro area. Crust nice and thin with a crunch.*If you like doughy pizza with way too much cheese and toppings that turn the pie into mush...this place is not for you.*Thanks for giving us a slice of home Dimo's!“

“I miss the old Nicholas so I was happy to see Loui’s. We went in Friday with a group of 8. They were decently busy. New staff, new place so still training and working it out. Overall great experience. Kids loved Italian sodas. The cheese bread and bruschetta were so good. Pizza was great even the GF. We also ordered chicken piccata & Alfredo. The piccata wasn’t our fave. Maybe just an off night for that one because everything else was awesome. Just waiting to see that antipasto plate and you’ll have me all the time.“

“Amazing service. Really cute place. I got the white sauce lasagna and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Not only did I have one of the best meals of my life, but they also have wet wipes in the bathroom. For me this was the cherry on top, but it goes to show that they go the extra mile to make customers comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!!“

“I recommend the food. The staff? I’m sitting outside City Pets next door and I can’t go in because of Covid policy. I didn’t want to sit in my hot car. Cibo was not yet open. There are five empty outside tables and zero outside tables taken. I asked if I could sit at one while I waited for City Pets to finish. The complete answer I got was “Well… we open in four minutes.” So now I stand against my car on the sidewalk, staring at five tables outside Cibo still not in use. Much appreciated. I should not have bothered to ask. I doubt anyone seated outside will appreciate me staring at them, should any tables ever be taken. Again, the food is good.“

“What an unexpected surprise. We were celebrating husband's birthday. When we arrived, there were roses on the table and a card for him from the restaurant. Started off with their signature Focaccia Bread, which was wonderful. Then husband had the Lamb Osso Bucco and I had the Parm-crusted Sole. We are both raving about our dinners. There isn't anything bad we could say about either dish. Finished off with Chocolate Mousse and it was amazing. Next to the service - We were greeted warmly at the front door and seated immediately (reservations recommended). Our server Alex was amazing as well. Very attentive but not intrusive. Even David, the owner stopped by for a nice chat. This is a place we highly recommend and we will be back for sure many times in the future!“

The warm hospitality and conversation with the owners, the fried fish and shrimp, the welcoming atmosphere.. you HAVE to go and enjoy this *almost* hidden gem. We’ll be back with more people for soul food Sunday! Thank you, Marcus and Angelette, for an incredible meal!“

“UPDATE: Chelsea, the assistant operations manager, followed up with a kind gesture + professionalism with addressing this issue, along with the reassurance that "We should absolutely be serving food up until we are closed." Fingers crossed!On Sunday, April 28th at 8:22pm, my partner and I placed an order on Uber Eats. Aware that this was ~40 minutes before closing, we understood it could be denied, though we erred on the side of optimism since it wasn't, say, 5-10 minutes before closing. To our delight, the order was accepted. Once it was ready, we were notified that a delivery driver was picking it up. Upon arrival, the driver seemed to encounter an issue, and another driver was sent to pick it up. Then another. After three drivers failed to pick up the order, we called Virtuous Pie only to be blankly told that there was no order. When we asked why the order—which went from being accepted to being prepared to ready for pickup—somehow didn't exist, we were met with smug dismissal and total disinterest in explanation, apology, or making things right. It was a masterclass in anti-customer customer service. My partner and I have been regulars of Virtuous Pie since day one, but we could never in good conscience order from here again. If you have any self-respect as a consumer worthy of common decency, you shouldn't either. Uber Eats eventually cancelled the order on behalf of Virtuous Pie and stopped payment.“

“I LOVE Caffe Mingo. I have been coming here at least once per month for the past year. It is a little bit on the pricey side for me, however, it is worth it. The service is fabulous, the manager and servers are nice and accommodating (including when you order off-menu drinks and modify some of the food dishes), and the atmosphere is great. The food is exquisite and the drinks are delicious. I always get their fun mocktails, such as my ultimate favorite, the sondrio, however, people who have been with me have enjoyed many of their other specialty cocktails (the calabria, the limoncello, and more!) I love their pizza and pretty much exclusively order that, however, I also know many of their pasta dishes are delicious (such as the penne al forno and the ravioli in the brown butter sauce). People who have been with me have also loved the beef tenderloin, as well as the various stew specials over the past few months (lamb and beef). The cavoletti (brussels sprouts) is also always a hit. Thank you for being such an amazing and welcoming restaurant! Going here is one of the highlights of my month.“

“I love this place thru & thru! If you haven't been, do yourself a favor. So chilled, with a poetic and tepid groovy vibe, this spot is hotter than lukewarm. All the puns not intended actually. It's just a well designed little place to enjoy attendant service, tiny or not so tiny dishes of luxury, and a balanced ambiance erring on the side of elegance. Come. You won't regret it.“
