About Gilda's | Italian Restaurant

Gilda's | Italian Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with amazing service and spectacular food. The cozy, cafe-like ambiance has an upscale feel, making it a favorite among locals. Guests often enjoy delicious dishes like the risotto in generous portions, and the friendly atmosphere provides a warm, family-like feeling. The chef, Marco, creates the BEST Italian lunch, and the service is efficient and welcoming, even on busy soccer game days. The restaurant is a pretty space, but it can be loud when more guests arrive, so it’s not ideal for quiet conversations or intimate dates. It is located in a clean, safe area with plenty of parking, and the environment is comfortable and clean. The bread service, with chewy como bread and simple, tasty olive oil with tapenade, sets a great start. Appetizers like the classic Caesar are well-balanced and flavorful. The entrees truly shine, with dishes like Pappardelle alla Salsiccia featuring house-made Italian sausage and a flavorful sauce, and Pollo al Marsala topped with herbs and served with pan-roasted vegetables and red potatoes, all done to perfection. Many guests find the recipes to be authentic, reminiscent of home-cooked Italian meals from Nonna Gilda. The food is served beautifully without pretension, and the chef often comes out to check on guests, adding a personal touch. The cocktails are exactly what one would hope for, and special dishes are often offered on the house, making the experience memorable. Overall, Gilda's remains a must-try destination in Portland for tasty Italian family dishes and warm hospitality.

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!

We were in Portland overnight and Gilda's was recommended to us by the hotel staff. The food was amazing. It was crazy busy and the staff were hustling, but very professional. Even when a customer at the next table was being unnecessarily difficult (his companion and the waitress and we all knew it was his error, not the waitress's) the waitress handled the situation with grace. We were so impressed with the food and the staff, we went back on our return trip through Portland...read full review

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!
