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.“

“My wife and I came here for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. The food is incredible and incorporated both flavor and texture I've never even experienced before. I'm going to just rave about the food for a minute. The mushroom manicotti crepe was the best I've ever had hands down. The crepe was delicate and the filling was so smooth and luxurious. The pistachio pesto was similarly inspired. I love pesto and eat a lot of it and I'd never had pesto like that. The beef braciole fell apart on the fork and I loved the layers of flavor with filling, sauce, and squash. The last two dishes, the concord grape granita and the pumpkin semifreddo, were just insanely good. Don came by to tell us about each course, and service was attentive without interrupting the conversation. Speaking of which, the atmosphere in this place rules. I loved that we could see the kitchen, and the music was tasteful and not too loud to talk. The decor is great too and backed up the intimate feel. Thanks Don & co for an amazing evening!“

“Affordable and delicious Italian food. I ordered pasta with their marinara sauce.

Highlights:
1. All ingredients tasted fresh.
2. Great table service. They pay great attention to you. You're treated to a great salad and bread while you wait. You're given more as needed for free if you're really hungry or if service is delayed.
3. For the most part, good pricing.
4. Good selection and authentic dishes. I'd love to come back to try something else.
6. Speed of service.

Thanks you guys!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fresh, high quality food. My wife LOVED the fried goat cheese and I thoroughly enjoyed every last bite of my speck, even after sharing two appetizers and the autumn salad. Portions were generous. We had a lovely two top next to the outdoor fireplace. Staff was professional and helpful. Only downside is the location right on busy Vaughn, but the outdoor seating is thoughtfully organized to feel warm and secluded.“

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

“Charming ambiance, phenomenal meal, and excellent service. Thank you Abigail for waiting on us. I regret it's taken us so long to find our way back here. Still as great as it was a few years ago. That's a testament to a great owner and team. We really enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer, creative mocktails, the king salmon and Dungeness crab pasta specials, and the best tiramisu in all of Portland! See you again soon!“

“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 ;)“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent food. Great staff. Very nice experience“

“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.“

“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.“

“This was our first time to Gambino's, they made us feel so welcomed. Our waitress was so nice, service was quick, prices were very reasonable. The food was high quality and so delicious! The ravioli appetizer w meatball and pesto was absolutely amazing!!! We will definitely be back! 😍🍴“

“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!!!!“

“Always awesome every time“

“Holy 5-alarm fire! I got the Fusiili ala Vodka, which I know is supposed to have some heat, but this one —- it’s like the cap fell off the jar of chili flakes! I still loved it - the pasta was perfectly cooked, the pork shoulder was bursting with great spices, but I was still facially sweating through the whole meal. We got their Caesar salad too, which was excellent, not too much dressing and just the right amount of anchovies. The real deal, and helped cool off my lips.
Grassa has their counter service food model down pat, and the meals come out fairly quick, fresh and hot, so thumbs up there. Service is up and down, depending on how slammed they are, but I give them a pass since they do do aLOT of takeout orders and are not meant to be table service. Love that they have beer, wine and some cocktails too.
This location works well for all the reasons stated above, but we often get our food to go — the ambiance here is not that great. Strip-mall -modern-meets industrial in a cold, cavernous space does not make you want to linger. No thanks.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“The staff was great as well as the food . The manager went out of his way to check with every customer to make shure everything was good. we had a great meal and a good vibe“

“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!“

“found ourselves in the st johns area and had this pizzeria on our list to visit for a while! simple pie choices on the menu, but in my humble opinion that is the mark of a good pizza place. the pizza we chose (prosciutto with green olives) had very high quality ingredients and tasted great. the crust was next level crisp and flavorful. lombardo's has a few picnic tables outside for seating, which was a lovely way to eat a lovely pizza on a lovely autumn day. service was friendly and quick. absolutely would recommend and would return.“

“😀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.“

“Noodles are the star of the show at this place. I’m Italian, born and raised in New York and I can honestly say their spaghetti and meatballs and fusilli à la vodka pass the test💯. I’ve heard some people say the fusilli Has too much spice, but if you think thats spicy, you probably think mayonnaise and spicy🤷“
