Fantastic fresh pasta and food with a some twists and tweaks. The gnocco frito, grilled cabbage, choc tagliatelle, agnolotti and pork were all outstanding. And the choc cake was to die for! Above all wonderful service: at the end of the night when everyone was gone except 1 bar patron instead of rushing us out and clearing everything they brought us 2 fresh bottles of water!! 💪🏽👏🏽🤌🏽

Its a great blend of cozy and sophisticated. Excellent menu, every time, drinks especially well crafted. Service is responsive, informed, friendly but not invasive. Cuisine is some of the finest in the region.

For the price and hype, this was truly a disappointing experience for a lover of Italian food. Service was abrupt and felt very bland, like the rigatoni.

Food was good and atmosphere but inattentive workers. They didn’t bring my girlfriend her birthday desert and rudely responded when I pursued understanding what happened. Won’t be returning.

My fiancée and I were in town for the weekend. We hadn’t really planned anything so we were looking for dinner for her birthday. We called and they said they were full but bar seats should open around 6:45 which makes sense as it was a Saturday night. The wait to get a seat was quick and right at 6:45 as the host had said. The staff were all friendly and professional. The person running the bar was fascinating to watch as they perfectly and neatly executed each drink. We started with the focaccia bread. It was flavorful and soft. We ordered the polenta and gnocchi dishes to share. Both dishes were perfect. We both really enjoy trying new places with great food. The food created and executed by these cooks/chefs was flawless. Presentation was amazing. Execution was very fast. Taste was beyond a 10/10. Do not go to Portland without visiting here.

This is our second time coming here and it was absolutely exquisite both times. We had the squash bloosom apatizer.Fried in the lightest of batters it was so good. Between that and the two house made pasta dishes we had we moon with flavor and deliciousness. If your in portland check this place out, you wont be disappointed.
Meal was fantastic. Lobster Spaghettini and Spicy Pork Ragu were both amazing.

Leeward hosted a birthday celebration for 36 friends and family and the individuals in the group uniformly felt it was one of the best meals they could recall. The food was over the top fantastic. Each course was special, with attention to detail making each memorable.
In addition, everything was done right in a way that made the evening special. The staff was a pleasure and fun. The space is open and beautiful. This is a special place and highly recommended.

Delicious food! Had the spaghettini with lobster and it was divine. Their housemade focaccia was so fluffy and flavorful, I could have eaten a truck load of it. Definitely recommend 👌🏽

Leeward is our favorite restaurant in Portland. It is like being with family. The wait staff is superb, especially Maura.Wonderful inventive food that changes seasonally, and then the staples like the superb focaccia, tempura fried squash blossoms and the gelatos. I can’t say enough good things about Leeward!
