50 Best Italian Restaurants near Beaverton

“I went here for dinner with my husband. OMG! I loved how spacious and buzzing this place was for dinner service on Saturday night.

The service was amazing! I think her name was Katie(?) but she took such good care of us and even recommended some dishes we should try.

If you're looking for a cozy date night place, you should go here.“

“This was our first time ordering meals online. The online menu ordering system worked very well except for the comments section. It asked if there were any special instructions and I assumed that the delivery person would knock on the door or ring the doorbell or somehow notify us that the food had arrived. I didn't think to ask the delivery person to notify us when the food had been delivered. Anyway, about 30 minutes after the order was delivered I found it sitting on the front porch. Fortunately the big dog across the street didn't find the food before we did so it ended well. The food was very good and I will use this service again.“

“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.“

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

“Love this place! Excellent food and great prices — there’s a reason they have been in business here for decades! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We always request Kevin as our server! He's always so attentive, friendly, and has always guided me in the right direction for vegetarian options. Kevin is also a favorite for my child. Quick with the jokes, but easily and effortlessly reels it in when necessary to get the job done. He is always so efficient and pays attention to details.“

“First time at Don's, and they managed the impossible: they fed me things I usually hate, and I loved every bite. It's also an absolute gem for romance—perfect for an anniversary or just a top-tier date night. The antipasto was a knockout—Dungeness crab with a hint of heat paired perfectly with a fresh popover. Even the Oyster Casino won me over, and I normally don't touch oysters. They even pulled off a Gorgonzola iceberg salad that I couldn't stop eating. Don has this incredible knack for balancing flavors so perfectly that my "no-go" ingredients became the highlights of the night. A total win for a special night out. I'll definitely be back. Unfortunately no pictures because the food was gone before I remembered to take a picture :).“

“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“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat downtown. Staff knows the menu so well. And is kind to make sure everything they prepare meets your dietary needs. Drinks are wonderful. And while the main dining room is great the bar behind the restaurant is a good hack with the same menu on a busy night.“

“I had one of the most sumptuous dinners here. As I watched the chef prepare our meals, I was amazed to see the precision they use to give each dish the perfect taste, color, and temperature. I simply loved the wonderful flavors of the freshly made pasta and the recommended wine pairing. I loved the food and the entire experience. I hope the management franchises this restaurant to more cities!“

“We loved our service and the food was so delicious! We ordered the filet mignon with blue cheese, pasta spec, and the eggplant parm. Would totally come back. We wanted to sit outside to enjoy the evening and the staff brought out a heater and got the wood stove going so we would be comfortable.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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 ;)“

“Best tiramisu around. Love this place.“

“great food nice people also the breakfast it's good.“

“Lunch pasta dishes were yummy and generous portions“

“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!!!!“

“Basically my favorite kale salad ever.
But I warn you get ready to have the worst garlic breath until the next day 😂😂😂
So worth it. I always order one to go.
As for the pastas I like simple here.
I skip the lasagna and go light.
Great wine selection.
Parking could suck.
Good service.“

“Excellent food. Great staff. Very nice experience“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love the food the atmosphere is super cozy“

“We went to Grassa today at the request of a coworker. We walked in 12 deep and were able to find a table that fit all of us. We placed our order at the counter, food came to us and was delicious and fresh. Everything we tried was better than the thing we tried before it. The Cesar salad, pork belly mac and cheese, bacon wrapped dates and the canolli, 10/10. Price was also awesome. We all ate and took home food for just under $400.
You will not be dissapointed. They also have a unique cocktail list I hope to make it back and try.“

“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.“

“Jsut simply amazing food and ambience!“

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

“GREAT food. I've only been here twice, but everything we tried was delicious both times. I've been here with a group of 4 and a group of 6, and we elected to order family-style both times. Great for sharing. The Sunday sauce is outstanding, as is the eggplant parm.“

“😀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.“

“My wife and I ate here before taking in the Christmas Ship parade on the Columbia. I had the Radiatore. My wife had the Potato Gnocchi both of which were excellent. But the star for us was the Brussel Sprouts with Pickled Mustard Seed dressing, outstanding.“

“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.“

“I’ve been here many times before and have always thoroughly enjoyed my experiences. However, when I went today with my family, the food was overwhelmingly salty across all of our different pastas and their sauces (pesto, red sauce, carbonara). I loved the crunch and texture of the nuts but could not finish my pesto dish.

I am disappointed and hope this is a fluke where kitchen staffing was negatively affected by the holiday weekend.“

“Came yesterday for lunch and had Kassandra as our server! She was the best, super sweet and gave us fabulous service!!!!

The only bummer of our visit was really burnt breadsticks. Not sure what was happening in the kitchen but they were seriously rock hard.“

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

“Food is top-notch! You can always expect to leave full in spirirt, mind, and stomach. Italian classics elevated and some of the best pizza on this side of the Mississippi. The chefs are cooking like they have something to prove. Can not recommend this place enough! Eat at Scorfana“

“I ordered Baked Rigatoni for take out and it was excellent. When I picked it up the food was hot and stayed hot until I got home. The guy I talked to on the phone for the order was very upbeat and pleasant when I picked up the order. I will order from here again. I think I'm going to try the special lasagna.“

“stellar slices, whacky workers and endless hot chili flakes, what more do you even want?? The pizza is great and the people are even better! Conveniently located by the river, high potential for a romantic slice in the park. RUN don’t walk here folks.“

“The pasta here is absolutely amazing. We own a catering company, and my husband is a classically trained chef with over 35 years of experience, so we definitely appreciate great food and great service when we find it. We travel quite a bit and always make it a point to stop here when flying into Portland on our way to Cannon Beach and Seaside.

Hands down some of the best pasta, fantastic cocktails, wonderful service, and just an overall great place to relax and hang out. The gentleman with the amazing ink is always incredibly friendly and welcoming. This spot has become part of our Oregon coast tradition. Don’t miss this one.“

“Delicious food, generous portions, friendly staff, large selection of wine, beautiful restaurant with low lighting, perfect for a nice little date! Dress up or dress down. Fairly casual but nobody will judge if you come dressed gorgeous.“

“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!“

“Lombardos is on its way to being a neighborhood institution, the owner is incredibly friendly and is tipping his homage to his New Jersey pizza roots. When I went in they were sold out of everything except their bar pie. A light crispy crust with a zesty sauce and perfectly caramelized cheese. They only prep about 40 or so pies a day but the restaurant clearly has room to expand and for their sake I hope the community floods them with business until they are forced to do so. Truly reaching those east coast roots I highly recommend making the trip into St. John’s for this wonderfully done pie where you will find true beauty in its simplicity.“

“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.“

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

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

“great food and service. the bolognese was delicious 😋“

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

“Excellent food and service in a comfortable environment. Highly recommended!“
