Incredible dinner! Definitely a top five dining experience in Portland. Everything was delicious from the martinis, salads and main dishes. Highly recommend the beet and grapefruit salad, octopus, and steak.

Super cute date night spot. We went stopped by early evening on a Friday without a reservation and were able to grab seats at the bar. Delicious cocktails, great food, friendly and attentive service.

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.

Food is incredible. Absolutely try the cauliflower!! The service was top notch. Honestly, probably the best I’ve had in Portland ever. Great drink list and just overall incredible experience. Perfect for date night or friends. All the food is shareable and don’t miss out on dessert.

Great dinner in Portland. We walked in without reservations and got the last table in the place. We tried 7-8 dishes and my fave was the meatballs and the savoy cabbage was incredible.

Resy does not work glitch i would like to reserve

Have to order everything at once. Kind of felt rushed by our waiter even though we were trying to enjoy some bubbles and catch up as we looked at our menus. Tasted practically everything on the menu. Would be nice if we could have just ordered a dish while we browsed the menu rather than being hounded to order.

The poached egg on polenta was amazing! The coffees we ordered were warm when they arrived so we ordered again but the 2nd round coffees were not hot when they arrived.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Portland. Perfect for any occasion. Reservation is recommended. The rosemary mafaldine, octopus and grilled steak creates a tsunami of flavors in your pallette. Aperitivo is interesting and loved it. Large selection of vegetarian options. Cocktails and beer were nice. Will try their wine the next time.

Very good food, service, atmosphere.Expensive.We thoroughly enjoyed the grilled prawns, Manila clams, beet salad and chocolate torte.Recommended with qualifications regarding cost and general annoyance of 3% added fee. You need to dispense with that; it’s like having a resort fee added to your hotel room charge-something that should be part of the displayed hotel room cost and not an additional fee.
