This is my absolute favorite Italian place in portland. I remember the days when Gino was running around singing to the guests. Very authentic food and a laid-back department. Highly recommend getting reservations even on a weekday.

One of my favorite Italian spots. It honestly reminds me of when I did a food & drink tour in Italy. It has a very family owned/operated feel to it which adds to its charm. The staff is amazing and helpful. I have a dairy allergy which isn't the easiest with Italian food but they were so helpful in recommending dishes I would be able to eat. The food was delicious the wine pours are generous too. Highly recommend reservations. I tried to walk in for dinner once and they were full for the dinner service

It’s a shame that the pretty decent food was accompanied by the worst service Ive ever seen. This was our first time and unfortunately, our last. We liked the food but couldn’t get over just how neglectful the server was. We waited a good 25 minutes just waiting for our card to be ran… this was while the server went and talked with everyone else. Aside from that, they never refilled our water. Now, the cherry on top: we got up to leave without a thank you or goodbye.

Food was amazing but the service? It was fantastic! Jaden was our server and he was absolutely stellar! You could really tell he actually enjoys his job! Thank you for a great experience! Ps, they do the Gluten Free lasagna & it was delicious.

Piazza Italia is one of my absolute favorite Italian restaurants in Portland. Their Insalata Caprese is hands-down the best Ive had anywhere in the Portland, flavorful, consistently tasty. The mozzarella? Always the right texture and temperature.
I order the same thing every time: Insalata Caprese + rigatoni bolognese. And it never disappoints! The pasta is cooked to perfection. The sauce? Rich, hearty, and full of flavor. (portion size could be better) C'mon ... it's pasta... This is a restaurant that knows what they're doing and does it well.
Now for the one (ongoing) issue: Where is the bread? I usually place my orders on DoorDash, and whether or not I receive bread is always a toss-up. Sometimes it's there. Often, it's not. And thats honestly disappointing.... especially when Im spending close to $40 per person. I know prices have gone up. Thats expected. But bread is inexpensive, and when I dine in, I receive it automatically.
There is really no reason that takeout customers shouldn't receive bread. Especially considering the price point. My 7-year-old son asks, Wheres the bread?? It's my fav..... Nogo this time.... Ughhhh he says!
So no I'm not deducting a star. Because the food is that good. But I am asking, again, as a loyal customer: PLEASE include the bread. It completes the meal. And honestly? It's just the right thing to do. Tighten up and..... a caesar salad would be a great addition to your menu.
