“My wife and I had dinner here on Tom Grant Tuesday as Tom was playing music during dinner. It was great to see and hear him in action as he played at our reception over two decades ago. We had a chance to chat with him and snapped a photo. Dinner was great as was the service. We will definitely be back again on Tom Grant Tuesday!“
“This was our first time at Grassa and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We even had a misunderstanding about ingredients and the front manager, Andy, not only took care of it right away for us, he also comped the meal, which amazed us. We will most definitely be back!We had the Luke, the Miles, a Caesar salad, garlic bread, and the gnocchi. All of it amazing!“
“Our family really loves this pizzeria! They have the best wings and kale salad in addition to their pizzas. I love the garlic bread and we always order the Soprasetta And the Italian sausage pizzas to share.! This is our favorite pizza place!“
“We had latte caramello and cappuccino vienese. I wasn't expecting the level of goodness from the creamy whip topping.We enjoyed a sunny Saturday wine testing on Feb 11. Eight tasteful varieties at $20 per person. There are plenty of choices to purchase and take home.The next event is March 11We visited again on Feb 25. Two more great coffees to go and a treat to watch it come together.“
“We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer. The dip and bread tastes good. The dip was unique with the spice they added.I ordered the Mama Calda pizza. Definitely a two or three person meal. I ate one slice and I was full. It was a bit too heavy on the cheese and toppings for me.My husband ordered the gnocchi. The flavor of the sauce was fantastic.“
“My husband & I stopped by for a late lunch/early dinner. The restaurant was pretty busy, but we waited less than five minutes for a table. The staff were all very friendly and smiling, and made us feel very welcomed. I ordered the Neverending soup, salad, and breadsticks, and my husband got his go-to Chicken & Shrimp Carbonara. I don't know who was cooking that day, but WOW! Fantastic job!!! The sauce was like it used to be, creamy and full of flavor! The Chicken gnocchi soup was delicious and nice and hot, perfect on an icy cold day, and I was not cheese shamed! lol. Our waiter was perfectly attentive and professional while being relaxed and friendly enough to make us feel very comfortable. 5☆ all the way Olive Garden!!! Thank you ALL for a wonderful experience & the best meal we've had out in a long time, It was worth the drive from Tillamook and we look forward to coming back soon!!! ???“
“I love this place thru & thru! If you haven't been, do yourself a favor. So chilled, with a poetic and tepid groovy vibe, this spot is hotter than lukewarm. All the puns not intended actually. It's just a well designed little place to enjoy attendant service, tiny or not so tiny dishes of luxury, and a balanced ambiance erring on the side of elegance. Come. You won't regret it.“
“This neighborhood gem is always a pleasure to visit. The food was well prepared and delicious! There are plenty of options for vegetarians as well as omnivores. The portions are very generous. We love the ambiance and wonderful art. The servers are attentive, friendly and efficient. This is a favorite place to take friends and out of town guests.“
“I don't know if the service or food is better but both are incredible. I haven't had better pasta. The albacore bruschetta was one of the best appetizers I've ever hadm so was the burrata was this fry bread. Go back and get something else again. It's so good.“
“Had a great meal here on Friday night, including some of the best gluten free pasta we've ever had. Service was lovely, very professional and we were treated well. Was a nice evening out. We did make a reservation, which was ready and waiting for us. I would recommend reserving a table before hand as it gets quite busy. Can't wait to go back!“
“We have been dining at Gilda’s for 6 months. Thank you to our friends Linda and Paul for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. It is a family owned restaurant and the pride of the naturally sourced ingredients is very evident. Everything is made in house. The service is exemplary! Go, you won’t be sorry!“
“First I want to say that the Alfredo pizza was the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had. The food here is 10/10 with some of the best vegan food in all of Portland. However, the service was horrible, we had to work to get our waiters attention to get more water and asked for our bill twice before receiving it. With a no tipping policy in place I feel there was no incentive to provide good service.“
“I went with my family during Happy Hour and the food was delicious.For starters we ordered some ricotta cheese crostinis that were delicious and a "small" salad which was more than enough for 3 people.The pizza was a delight but the best thing was to accompany it with a delicious sangria.I highly recommend this place.“
“Food was outstanding! We had the carpaccio and crudo to start, carpaccio was the show stopper. Trout and pork for mains, both cooked excellently, and then had the sorbetto and pana Cotta for dessert. The quality of ingredients and flavor/texture combinations were amazing! The service was so-so, told them it was a special occasion in advance but no acknowledgement of that. The server also gave us some awkward guidance when selecting wine, and wasn't super warm or friendly. Tables were pretty close to each other, it felt like we were spilling off a little with two entrees and drinks.Dietary restrictions: Amazing selection of gluten free appetizers and entrees!!“
“Outstanding food, service, ambiance, everything. The food was consistently refined but unpretentious, and every bite was balanced and sooo yummy. The service was a level of fine dining that we don't otherwise get in Beaverton, but still totally relaxed. It's a set menu, six courses the night we were there (maybe always?), each one delivered by Don with an explanation and background. Tiny space, make a reservation.“
“I used to live just outside of Venice and this is some of the most authentic Northern Italian food I've had in the states. We fell in love with the salt cod crostini (cicchetti al baccalà), radicchio salad with fresh oranges and black olives, supplì with a raddichio and gorgonzola filling, handmade pastas, buttermilk panna cotta, risotto tart, and the wine list (!) It's all perfect and the wait staff were attentive, super knowledgeable, and happy to share their love of authentic Italian food! We will be back many times.“
“Fillmore Trattoria is our favorite dining experience in Portland. We have eaten there for 8 years on our visits to Portland. It is truly where the locals eat. The Food is excellent and Spencer and Emma are wonderful cooks and hosts. I highly recommend eating there.“
“We had a magical time celebrating our adult son's birthday. The service was at the next level, the food was delicious, and the space and ambiance were so comfortable. The wine list gave us some great options as well. Highly recommend this place.“

“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!“
“Food was lovely, pasta had a perfect portion size if you’re just in the middle of being hungry and not. Service was good, just took a little long because it was a friday night. Atmosphere was not the best, there was a rowdy table behind my family that just put off out our whole vibe for the night and was very overwhelming for being outside around a lot of other people. (if you easily get overstimulated I suggest eating inside) Totally not the restraints fault, just an unlucky role of the dice“
“On my first visit, I went with a group and we shared nearly the entire pasta menu family-style. Before we even left, I was texting a friend about how they needed to try this place because each dish was, individually, the best pasta dish I’d ever had. On the next visit, I heard the table to the left of me say “This is the best bolognese I’ve ever had.” Earlier in the night the table to the right of me couldn’t stop talking about how the chicken cavatelli was their favorite pasta they’d ever had.So, come to Montelupo for the best pasta you’ll ever have!“
“I've been coming to Giants for years. Even before the cart; when they still ran out of the corner store on 82nd. I've since moved away from lents, but I still make the drive for a giants sammy whenever I can. For me, best sandwich in PDX. The bread is crispy but soft, oil is just right, and the spicy bacon is incredible. The family who runs it, and specifically the mother are the nicest people. My wife and I are always happy to see them and leave with a smile. They are truly a piller of the SE culinary community. Awesome spot, highly recommended.“
“I had dinner there tonight and left happy. I kept it simple with their spaghetti and meatballs and the dish was phenomenal. Great service and atmosphere, along with really great food. I look forward to going back and exploring their menu more.“
“This is the new go-to lunch and dinner spot for all Portland adventurers.Amazing meal! You can taste the high quality of the ingredients and the love put into the food.The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere is perfect for anything from first dates, to family dinners, to business lunches. I cannot wait to come back. Perfect 10’s!P.S best wine selection in Portland!“
“This is one of those reliable, reasonably priced, delightful places to dine. Service was the best. Recommendations were appreciated with spot on wine pairings. The cacio pepe was delicious!! As was the rock fish & broccolini. I enjoy the mushroom bruschetta every time. It is my favorite. Aria gin Martini was perfect. All desserts were great. We tried 4. The pot de cream really shown. Only negative was the bread. Maybe stale. Or maybe just not the best. Hard with little flavor. But otherwise, wonderful!!“
“I applaud you for being open!!! I ordered my food Togo on the phone. When I got there front door was open with a table blocking which there was a sign order here. I went to back door which was closed, I opened cause I guessed maybe that’s where you get your food Togo and it was to be picked up there. I come thru he said you order from the front( also didn’t really give me a chance to politely saying anything) and noted there was another guy in there that looked to be picking up food as well. Then went to the front he come to the front door with a iPad to take my order and I say a order Togo for Robbie. Then was “owe ok”. Get home the food was great some of the best pie I have ever had! Only reason I explained this was I think clear signage would make this transaction easier. This is a very tough time and people want to be safe. I also LIKED he asked to pay Cc over the phone and asking for the tip ahead of time does limits person contact. Will be back!“
“I was in town sort of visiting after helping move my daughter and her boyfriend to the Portland area. we randomly met the owner of this restaurant and thought we'd give it a try after seeing the menu online. Instantly loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in to be seated!!! The waitstaff was friendly and awesome, than the food came and it was delicous and off the charts amazing!!! presentation, portion size and taste was perfect in my book. I loved it!!! Great experience!!!“
“I used to work at one of the Geraldis in Arkansas and it was pretty spot on to what I know. Worth the 3 hr drive. I ordered the Italian sausage and they cut it into medallions instead of lengthwise. Other than that, flavor match is what I remember. Very good. I’ll need to come back and get the chicken parm sandwich and the Chicago beef.“
“Authentic panzerotti experience ! 10/10The owner was so friendly and a pleasure chatting with. Was a mandatory stop before ending our trip in Portland and driving back to Vancouver, Canada. Tasted like we were back in Bari, Italy. It’s all about the Barese! Bravo!“
“From bolognese on pasta to nettle ravioli and delicious dessert options, we all enjoyed our meal and the cozy atmosphere. The limoncello drew several sighs of delight, too. Waitstaff are very attentive and took good care of our party.Parking: On street and side/residential parking is hard to come by, so allow a few minutes to find a spot and it's all good.“
“Sorbu’s food tonight brought me back to my hometown, Livorno. Perfect rendition of the classic “5 e 5 con le melanzane” like you can find in the streets of Livorno, and a Porchetta sandwich as it could have been served by a legendary paninoteca from my youth (the salsa verde is the real deal). We’ll be back! Thanks to fellow Tuscan-Portlander for the recommendation!“
“I decided to try Big Foot Pizza on a whim tonight and was not disappointed! The crust was perfect, not to hard or chewy, lots of flavor and held together nicely. The amount of sauce and toppings was amazing. It's almost like they knew me (without knowing me)LOLI am definitely coming back and adding to my list of top pizza places here in Portland!“

“This place was shockingly good with service to match. I had spaghetti with meatballs and my wife had beef stroganoff. Both were of the highest quality. Each bite made me stop and think about all of the flavors. It's not a fancy restaurant by any means and it's small, but that's not any reason not to go. There is a decent sized parking lot.“
“Best pizza joint in PDX from my family of pizza snobs lol.Wood fired, so not New Haven style exactly, but pretty darn close for what you'll find in the metro area. Crust nice and thin with a crunch.*If you like doughy pizza with way too much cheese and toppings that turn the pie into mush...this place is not for you.*Thanks for giving us a slice of home Dimo's!“
“Our area needs more small businesses and especially restaurants! We wandered into Gambino's one day, and we've probably been back a half a dozen times now! It's a super cute and cozy environment, food is amazing, and service is always great! Definitely recommend trying it out, you won't be disappointed!“
“I have dined at Decarli for years, and it has started to slip. This was the first time I had eaten at the new location (the former buffet), and atmosphere took a big hit. Food is different. I had Chitarra and the pancetta was decent, but not as tender or as delicious as before. There was no bread served. And the feel was one of get in, get out. The staff was fine, it was just disengaged. The worst thing was the Resy app to reserve a seat. It is detestable. It is bad enough that if I am required to use it, I will not eat at the restaurant. I do not need a reminder text an hour before the appointment. It is dreadful, and commodities customers.“
“Excellent, excellent service and lovely wine pairing with good food in a quaint and intimate atmosphere. The food was delicious but didn't leave a lasting impression. Was it bad food no not at all, but was anything special about the food...not really. It was all a little bland all in all. I would come back, but would I ever crave to do so,no.“
“My date picked this spot for a spontaneous lunch date, and we were both so happy we came!I tried the fried Brussels sprouts, which I honestly couldn't have done better myself. They were so tasty, sinfully good even ?She tried the black truffle pasta, and the delicata fritters, and we were both totally blown away by all the food.I'm definitely coming back for more! Gotta try the eggplant parmesan next!!“
“Hands down the best lasagna I've ever tasted. Paired with a glass of Chianti, I was a happy camper!Parking: It was unfortunate that I had to leave my family and park several blocks away, but the exceptional dining experience helped me forget about that inconvenience.“
“We have been dining at Gilda’s for 6 months. Thank you to our friends Linda and Paul for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. It is a family owned restaurant and the pride of the naturally sourced ingredients is very evident. Everything is made in house. The service is exemplary! Go, you won’t be sorry!“
“There’s something really special about a place where you can sit, enjoy a meal, and sense that everyone from back of the house all the way to the front of house, has chosen to be there. Passion and intention seeps from this restaurant. What more can you ask for?Portland is lucky. Decent Italian food, outside the home, is hard to find in our city.My advice to anyone reading this review:Just go. Take an evening and just go. Try the olives and have a glass of grappa.Thank you and see you soon.“
“We don’t encounter a lot of Romanian food stops so I was pretty excited to find one here.Food is delicious - flavor is on point and exactly how my in laws would make their soups and creamy mash potatoes.Owner is also really nice and personable.“
“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!“
“Hands down the best vegan pizza I have ever had. Sizzler’s vegan pizza is just really crust, tomato sauce and toppings. Most places can’t get the cheese right.This place does the vegan cheese so well - the texture (the stretchiness and the chewiness) of the cheese is just like dairy cheese.After turning vegan, I had the rare craving for pizza (not meat really) and this place is perfect for that.The ice cream was also excellent.“
“Love love love this place. The server was fantastic. He described everything perfectly. Great communication. The food was so creative and tasty. Italian - American with a creative twist. The owner was so lovely. He gave us limoncello. We are going back for sure.“
“I applaud you for being open!!! I ordered my food Togo on the phone. When I got there front door was open with a table blocking which there was a sign order here.

“We used to live in PDX and still go back occasionally. When we do, Cafe Mingo, after all these years, remains a dining destination. In a foody city, it is consistently good, lively and friendly. It's a nice mix of "old Portland" with a younger neighborhood clientele and predictably good food. It's the ultimate "comfort food" place.“
“Bar Rione is a lovely wine bar next door to Piazza Italia, an authentic Italian, tasty, affordable food with classic Italian service and beautiful wine selection. Friendly, clean, and happy environment for great food. Annually, the put on a Truffle Dinner with a guest chef from Italy who brings black truffles for the meal. Special event with special people.“
“I love this restaurant! The food is excellent, and there is always something new to try. The wait staff is on top of it! And they were very nice and professional. I can't wait to go back. I want to try the whole menu. Of course, just one visit at a time. Hahaha!“
