20 years we've been coming here because not only is the food and drink delicious, but it is consistent. Congrats Nostrana, you are still the one!

Each time we dine here the service is amazing and the food is amazing! Both those make for a great night/experience!
Abhinav
Food was cold and each drink order took 20 mins to arrive. The ambiance was good but the food and overall experience was not worth the hype.
Doug
Waitress was curt and not friendly, but efficient. Appetizers were great. Meals were average. Dessert was very good , drinks were ok. Have had better there previously. We are from the east coast and always eat at Nostrana when we're here visiting. Somehow last nights meal just didn't live up to the usual standard.

I've been to a lot of great restaurants the food was great but the service wasn't there . Our server was very short and wasn't helpful with the menu it was our first time there and didn't take the time to explain the options that I asked , I asked if there was appitizers and she smirked and said yes right there and didn't bother to explain any of them . When I got the bill I was surprised that she got a 22 percent tip no wonder the service wasn't there it was just 2 of us and she got 34 dollars to treat me like I was clueless thanks for a horrible experience

For a place that charges 22% mandatory tip, this place was appalling in how slow service was. Our order wasn't even taken until 30 minutes into our reservation and the wait times between courses was excessive. I don't know why it took 15 minutes to bring out ice cream. The portions are very small too. The food was decent, at best. The pizza was entirely burnt and flavorless. There are far better restaurants, on every metric (food, service, cost) in Portland. Will definitely never come here again.

We had 8 o'clock reservations and I guess that's when the happy hour starts. I had the happy hour wine, pasta and pizza. All were great. Actually, the pasta was better than my wife's ragu pasta and 1/3 the price! Waitress was super nice and attentive.
Amit
Perfect service and great vibes. Main dishes are not very generous in size, and both main dishes we ordered were definitely over-salted and got in the way of our ability to really enjoy them. The radicchio salad and crab sandwich were excellent. All in all, won't come back considering how expensive the place is.

Went to this restaurant for anniversary I ordered the half chicken which was OK my wife ordered spaghetti. The spaghetti was undercooked and didn't really have any sauce on it overall I would say we are disappointed with the food. My wife however, did like that she could test some of the wines and the ones she got was very good.

delicious food, good size portions- a little spendier than many italian restaurants. delicious , though
Overall solid experience. Only downside was multiple fruit flies flying around our table which happened to land in my wine. Service was good and our waitress was attentive.

We came to Portland from the south-central coast on a pizza quest. To the chagrin of old school pizza cities like New York, Chicago, Detroit and New Haven, Portland has been named one of the best pizza cities in not just the country... but the world. The water quality and fresh, locally sourced ingredients coupled with creative pizzaioli have put Portland on the map when it comes to pizza. We spent the weekend visiting a few highly recommended pizzerias and Nostrana was on the top of our list. We enjoyed a charcuterie board as an appetizer and then ordered various pizzas before sharing each of their dessert offerings. Everything was exquisite! Nostrana is the perfect trifecta of excellent food quality, fun atmosphere and exceptional service. We are already planning a return trip to experience some of their other menu items.

Happy hour menu at Enoteca is undefeated. It has not become a regular date night and a favorite
Kirk
Very disappointed. With a 22% service charge included one would expect stellar service. It was just the opposite. We had to constantly flag down someone for wine, refills on water, update on our long delayed dinner service. They served the wrong salad, the benefit of which is that we were able to try both of the green salads only to discover that the lettuces were wilted and the dressings tasteless. The clam spaghetti had old clams and an equally tasteless sauce. The high points of the meal were the burrata and the steak. The ambience was too bright and loud. All in all, this restaurant does not come anywhere close to deserving the ratings it has received in the past.

Simply the best restaurant in Portland. Absolutely no peer that delivers the type of quality food, experience, and service every single time.
