A very intimate and cozy atmosphere. Food and drinks were amazing. Perfect for a special night out.
August 2026: Early lunch here was fantastic. Food was fresh, tasty with good portions. Prices were fair.
I had never been to a Grassa location until last night. I went to the one on 23rd and it was amazing. The food was excellent, perfect texture and the atmosphere was nice and busy but not too loud. Our server Alissa even brought out freshly crushed pepper with our order!! Real italian touch. Lauren was working the front order desk and was very kind.

Grassa serves delicious, fresh pasta with both traditional and innovative dishes. The restaurant has spacious seating both indoors and outdoors, making it a great spot for al fresco dining. Guests can enjoy efficient service while watching pasta being made in front of them. The menu features homemade pasta along with delicious pizza. Reasonable prices provide great value for handmade Italian cuisine. Unique sides, like the watermelon salad, are seasonal highlights and refreshing for summer. A standout dish is the Mac n Cheese with pork belly, praised for its crispy, tender texture and perfect sweetness. The ribbed lumache used in this dish is cooked perfectly al dente, making it a favorite among customers. The fusilli alla vodka is also popular, with its bright sauce pairing well with generous Italian sausage. Many appreciate the perfect chew and bite of the pasta. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, quickly remaking orders if needed. The cocktail menu has unique options, and the atmosphere is welcoming. It’s a Portland original, definitely worth visiting for casual, high-quality pasta eats and comforting meals. Visitors often wish there was a location in other cities, showing how much people enjoy the food.
