Food was good, but the service was abysmal -- even for Portland's already low standards.

Great place! My wife and I heard good things so went to check it out. No reservation but they had room. Super friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and really good food! We enjoyed our entire experience and will be back!
This restaurant was recommended by a friend so we took a chance and brought some friends here for a birthday dinner. WOW. Everything from the kind service to the other people at the restaurant sharing wine and food with us, to the food being SO incredibly good. My husband and I can't recommend this place enough. I ordered the 'Gino's Favorite' and everyone in our group of 6 loved it. Seriously - highly recommend!!
I had dinner once , food was great , service ok with me that time . This time , totally unacceptable. I ordered a take out at 3:30p , said would be ready at 5:05p . restaurant Opened at 4:30p. 4:30p I arrived at restaurant, but I waited outside . At 445p, I walked in and checked , A guy told me would be ready in a minutes . I then seated and waited in front of his working table . At 4:55p I saw my cell showed my order was ready but I did not ask him since he saw me in just few steps away if it was ready . At 5:05p , I approached him , knowing food was ready 10 minutes ago . Plus I ordered and paid for bread extra 3.00 , after I came home found no bread . If this restaurant in a big city like New York , I will not give a bad review , but this is in Portland Oregon .

Loved everything about it! I didn't have reservations and got in by luck. It would seem having a reservation is the safest bet, as this restaurant is fairly small and was completely full when I left. Other comments about the service seem off base. I was seated promptly and my starters order was quickly brought to the table. Likewise for those seated around me in other parties. For dinner I had the handmade chicken Raviolli which was delightful. The quality of the food was great, and prices were very moderate, an overall great value. Will be back.

Why did my pasta taste like buttered popcorn? I’m truly disturbed by this. Also, the minestrone soup tasted like cabbage water that Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka would be sipping on.

I realized after trying various lasagnas from different restaurants, I don’t like traditional lasagna, but I will say that the quality is good despite my preferences. Definitely give it a try if you’re a lasagna lover!
The special on New Year’s Eve with the lobster ravioli with creamy pink sauce was so good! I wish that was a permanent item.
The Tiramisu is perfect. Not too sweet, it’s sweet enough, and not too soggy. Sugar is present. I only say this because I’ve tried other places where it was not sweet at all and plain
Recommended dishes: Tiramisu, Bruschetta Al Pomodoro, La Gricia

At this point I've been here half a dozen times in less than a year and everything has been amazing, every time. The creamy pesto is divine, and the vibes are unbeatable. Highly recommend this place to people who like food!
