50 Best Italian Restaurants near Beaverton

“My partner and I had dinner with our new frinds last night. I recommended this restaurant because it's clean, the staff is always friendly, and their food is good. I ordered the shortribs and I thought it was a bit too garlicky this time. I LOVE garlic, but it had the bitterness taste of raw garlic. The beef was tender and tasted good as I remebered. Our server was very friendly and patient― He tried not to interrupt our conversation. decarli is hands down one of our favorite restaurants in Portland.“

“The loveliest little restaurant in downtown Beaverton. We came here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. Love a fixed menu that takes the decision making out of ordering. Such a cute and cozy vibe inside. Phenomenal wine list - you can do a glass, bottle or full pairing with your courses (highly recommend). Would also get reservations, it’s a pretty small space. They do have a vegetarian menu as well. Staff was so friendly and thoughtful!“

“Staged a good-sized wine dinner in the private room (34 people). Fantastic food & service, even with a full restaurant on a busy Sunday night. Michael and his team do a wonderful job- all the dishes were beautiful, inventive, and delicious. Don't sleep on the "Olive Oil Cake" for dessert- your taste-buds and waistband will thank you.“

“Omg! I am a pasta obsessed human. By the name of this place I thought it was going to be gross like noodles and company. But no way. This was absolutely delicious! I got the salmon now tie pasta, and wow! Service is prompt, food is delicious. Will be back!“

“This Italian place always has open spots.
The spacious building invites you to relax and connect—whether it’s lunch or dinner.
Today I enjoyed a comforting bowl of Minestrone and flavorful Shrimp Scampi.
The staff here is incredibly kind—if you’d like an extra serving of soup or salad, they’ll gladly bring more with a smile.
There’s something about the warm, welcoming atmosphere that leaves you with soft memories and a quiet wish to return. ❤️“

“Was super yummy! Also very surprised with the pricing. I’ve spent more money on smaller servings in smaller towns which should be cheaper than this place! First dining experience near portland as well!“

“Great place!!! Will definitely be visiting again. The food was amazing and service was great.“

“Love the pizza love the customer service you have I will definitely pass the word on to everybody I know to give you guys a try keep up the great work“

“Oh wow. I read reviews about this place online so we made a visit when we first arrived in Portland tonight. There was only seating at the bar and that was fine as it was last minute and this place was booked up. The service was great, the drinks just perfect and the food - excellent! My husband was skeptical at first but the more he ate, the happier he was! The heirloom tomato dish with one of the foccacias is a must! We combined the prawns with a tagliatelle- delicious. The cocktails were well crafted and tasty. We will be back!“

“Great food! Our first visit and we were very happy with everything. Enjoyed our waiter’s knowledge of menu items.“

“Mucca Osteria came highly recommended by a friend. The restaurant is indeed elegant and has a very intimate feel to it. The food was incredibly delicious. My family ordered scallops as an appetizer and all of us agreed they were among the best we've ever tasted. Our server Jenny was supremely knowledgeable about each entree and appropriate wine pairing for each of our meals. My son ordered octopus which he enjoyed immensely. The dessert they served as a birthday celebration was especially memorable. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.“

“We were in Portland overnight and Gilda's was recommended to us by the hotel staff. The food was amazing. It was crazy busy and the staff were hustling, but very professional. Even when a customer at the next table was being unnecessarily difficult (his companion and the waitress and we all knew it was his error, not the waitress's) the waitress handled the situation with grace. We were so impressed with the food and the staff, we went back on our return trip through Portland a week later. Equally impressive food and service, but on a slow night, so the staff had time to happily engage with customers. Shout outs to Taylor and Gabby and Chef Marco. Everything was delicious and the service was friendly and professional. Highly recommend.“

“We had an amazing experience here for our wedding dinner we had almost 30 people in the main room. Everything from the service, food, drinks and preparation was stress free. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great for any occasion. PERFECTION..!!!“

“So I get so tired of going to places where I have to yell to be heard across the table. Both the Grand Amari and the Little Bitter Bar allowed for actual conversation. On top of it, had great service and the food was amazing. Wine selection was great - had a delicious Barbera. Tried the gnocchi and my socks were blown off. Sole was so delicious! All 4 of us in our party will be back!“

“The server was really great. I didn’t catch his name, but he was super helpful. He told me I could mix Alfredo and pesto sauce and I wish more restaurants would offer that. Especially love their pesto - it’s super garlicky in a great way. Brought my newborn and we sat inside - he quickly took a nap.“

“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 ;)“

“We had a great evening! Celebrated our adult son’s birthday! Excellent food and a very good and friendly server! Love this place! And our six year old had his front tooth fall out into a plate of pasta! Don’t worry, we found it :) He was so excited!“

“Friendly staff.. great food and service“

“Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Food was exquisite, tasty, beautifully plated. I had been wanting to come here for quite some time and finally made it in. We will be back.“

“Excellent food. Great staff. Very nice experience“

“So to start the food is on point it's like a taste of the old word Italian food grandmother would make this place is a must for anyone looking to eat and real Italian food done right the service is great not rushed easy going easy to talk to people that work here the atmosphere here is relaxed and easy going like going to your favorite pub after a long day at work truly an enjoyable experience in its self my wife also agrees that Gambinos Italian cafe is a true gem“

“Always awesome every time“

“I just had a birthday party for 17 friends at this fantastic neighborhood restaurant! It was absolutely incredible! The service was top notch. The food, 7 courses, was amazing! Each served in a timely manner. The cocktails were finely crafted! My friends can’t stop raving about their evening at Allora!!!!“

“I have been at Riccardo's twice for lunch in the pass month. The food, and service are superb. I wanted to tell Riccardo in person what a wonderful Ristorante that he has, but he had already left. Thank you.“

“Best Papa Murphy's in the portland area. Always get my order correct, never had a problem with this location and I've been going here for over 16 years.This is my favorite location the staff is always nice and they know who I am when I come in.“

“From the host Aria, bartender Josh, to our server Sandra, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We feel understood, welcomed, and supported. We went in with a group of 7, from 3 to 80 year olds. All the food items were delicious! And the environment was very pleasant, too.“

“Tiny little hole in the wall that offers far more than I expected. I dropped in for a quick bite. I ordered the BBQ chicken calzone. It was absolutely delicious. Far better than I anticipated, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend.

This is more of a take out facility, as they only have three chairs and a short bar style table for seating.“

“Good food. Ate chicken piccata if it were only a little larger portion for the price it would be nice. The flavor was excellent!“

“Legitimately one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever experienced in the US. I have lived in Italy and my husband is Italian and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our dinner. The wine selection is varied and thoughtfully curated. We enjoyed a bottle of Sardinian Carignano which is a rare find in the states. The prices are more than reasonable. We had a lovely locally sourced steak that melted in the mouth for $32. Bread is homemade fresh TWICE daily and the meat and cheeses were top quality If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC Italian in Portland, look no further. Nero Gallo has it all; great food, prices, staff, atmosphere and we will most definitely be back.“

“Excellent food and service. Flew in from CA for my daughter’s graduation and booked a table for 8.“

“I used Mama Mia Catering for a Christmas Party last night. The delivery came perfectly on time, food was hot and fresh, portions were perfect, and many people asked where it came from as they headed for seconds.“

“Great, friendly service and the food was delicious as always.“

“Portland has great restaurants. Grassa does not disappoint. We ordered the chopped salad, fusilli alla vodka, rigatoni and meatballs. The fusilli had a nice kick to the sauce that was delightful. The rigatoni with pork was like your nanna used to make. The pasta was perfect and the meatballs are a must have. You would have to go the north end of Boston, or New York to get such a fine Italian meal. I wish they would open one in Seattle.“

“great service with a sense of humor, and the food was absolutely amazing! Try the special, if they are all as good as tonight's, you will be thrilled.“

“The only thing my daughter and I don't like is the bread that is served with the pasta, and is also used to make the Panini. The bread is so bad… I don't recommend the Panini.
My favorites are the Carbonara and Gnocchi.“

“Tucci has a vast menu with options galore and reasonable prices. The service has always been excellent. They have a policy of no corkage fee so bring a bottle of wine with you! The only downside is the restaurant can be quite noisy, so be aware.“

“Amazing dinner! Wonderful appetizer and great wait staff!!“

“This homemade pasta is done right. So good. I had the Carbonara and my daughter had the spaghetti aglio olio. Both good and was hearing lots of mmmmm’s. The carbonara was excellent - lots of big chunks of panchetta , a little peppery, nice pecorino and pasta water sauce and the fried egg yoke took it to another level. The aglio olio also good with delicate spaghetti. The hardest thing was deciding what to try. The entire menu looked delicious. The service was excellent, happy people, incredible food. Portion size is perfect. Oh…and make sure to order the garlic bread. Also good - a little crispy on the outside and soft and garlicky in the middle. One order was perfect for two people give. We will most definitely be back. My new favorite place to go.“

“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!“

“First time leaving a public review for anywhere, but Amico Chef is worth this review!2022-2023 I ordered pasta from this place 44 times! BEST PASTA I’VE EVER HAD and I can’t get sick of it! My go to is the Shrimp Pesto Linguine add artichoke hearts. The ingredients are so fresh and enormous portions! I could never make it to this caliber at home! The garlic bread is somehow always perfect and mighty tasty! If you like pasta please visit Amico Chef it will not disappoint!2024 I’ve already ordered 7 times!“

“Hey Bob, the pizza was fantastic. Best sauce on a pizza I have had in a long time. I am not a huge tomato sauce fan, but I kept going back for more. The fresh basil was such a nice touch. Nice and crispy and foldable. Pepperoni was chef’s kiss. Thank you. So frickn’ good.“

“Good food! Prices have gone up though!!“

“By far, the best & most authentic Italian food I've ever had. They aren't cheap, but their portions are very large and the food all tastes fresh and homemade!“

“What a great spot. We tried the meatballs, burrata, rigatoni, spaghetti, carbonara, caesar salad, cocktails and sodas and everything was great. Everyone on our group enjoyed everything family style and everyone at the restaurant was super nice and sweet to the kids. We're going to be back again soon. Thanks!“

“We have ordered from here a few times and each time it doesn’t disappoint! I’ve tried to try new things each time as I can be a creature of habit. It’s been wonderful every time even with the timeframe of delivery where we live. Excellent food. One day we will make it there in person“

“😀Today a group of nine of us former colleagues had a most pleasant lunch. The wait staff were very well organized and tuned in to our needs, while being in the background in our conversation. I am very impressed and recommend this place, despite their need for a restricted parking lot.“

“I wish this place located anywhere besides downtown because it deserves to be packed every night. It is that good. Pizza: better than Ken’s. Pasta (special): better than Dolly Olive. Gelato: better than Pinolo on Division. Overall excellent experience…just wish the street was more vibrant.“

“The Mediterranean pizza was delish. It just happened to hit the spot for me. I will definitely go there again and highly recommend it.“
