An intimate and high quality restaurant with fabulous food and excellent cocktails. We celebrated my 80th there and enjoyed every moment. Where else could I go to eat Smoked Salmon Alfredo? Yum!

Be aware that you need to make reservations even with a small party and if you drive a truck don't even try parking in their lot just use the one next door, it's free. Now onto the good stuff.
Clean, cozy, warm esthetics
Fun and convivial atmosphere
Prompt, professional, and friendly service (coming from a server)
Scrumptious caprese, creamy but light chicken alfredo, buttery and fresh garden style gorgonzola roasted garlic ravioli (I added shrimp and I'll get it again next time I go)
Light and airy, not too sweet tiramisu

I don't go out too often but this is definitely my new favorite spot & I can't wait to go back *chef's kiss*

PS guys, always tip in cash

Quant Italian spot. But not simple, true Italian. My carbonara was not a glazing of the noodle. It was a thick, dark almost Alfredo sauce.

However, my friend got the gorgonzola ravioli, added sausage and it was excellent. We knew it would be heavy and it did not disappoint. Very tasty.

Tiramisu is a must.

Everything on the menu is outstanding! I've tried them all and just wow. You can also buy fresh pasta from them to finish at home. I've hesitated to review before due to how small it is and wanting to keep it from too hard to get in. Reservations are a must.

We discovered Placido's last year on a trip to Eugene and had to go back this year. The pasta is fresh and delicious, with large portions, and the service is attentive. Luckily they hadn't run out of tiramisu this time around, and we weren't disappointed because it was amazing. Our favorite restaurant in Eugene.

If you like pasta, they make good pasta in-house. I had the Pesto Chicken, a Cesar salad, and a Moscow Mule to drink. This was my first time eating here, we were out enjoying a late evening dinner with my son on his birthday. It's one of his families favorite pasta restaurants. While my pasta was good I found the pesto sauce a bit runny, almost watery. There wasn't much chicken to the dish either... The anchovies blended in the salad dressing were overpowering, I had the taste in my mouth for a couple hours after dinner and I only finished half the salad. That might have been my issue with the pesto chicken. Too intense on the anchovies so caution for anyone ordering their Cesar salad. For dessert we shared tiramisu and a chocolate cheesecake. The tiramisu was excellent, but the chocolate cheesecake was super rich and didn't get finished, it was okay but not great. The atmosphere is a small dining area that gets very loud as people compete to speak to each other. Good place for 2-4 people groups, although they can squeeze tables together for larger parties, but with 6 at our tables it felt crowded. The focaccia bread and marinara they served as an appetizer was delicious. Overall, descent but a little spendy.
