Lived next to this place since they opened! It's great if you're craving late night Italian (just go before 10:30, they stop serving food pretty early), but its pretty pricey for the portions you get sometimes. The mozzarella sticks are very small so for $12 it's crazy. The food is generally good but it's not worth writing home about. Sometimes it comes out fast and sometimes it takes 45 minutes for one salad. The caesar salad is actually my favorite thing on the menu! The cannoli... don't get them. It is the blandest cannoli you will ever eat. All that being said! I love the cute back patio and that it's close to home. However, considering how many fantastic bars are in North Portland, most of the time I will go elsewhere.
This little bar has it all! A huge patio, a pool table, pinball, a photo booth, great food w vegan options & they play excellent music! Cannot recommend enough!

This place has no right being this good. The environment is very much a bar (dark lit, has pool, loud music), but it also has some fun board games to play. However, the best part about this place is the pasta. You’d think you were eating at a gourmet restaurant the pasta is so good! I love a chill evening playing cribbage with a buddy and the best pasta I’ve had in portland.

The food was good, but I got the roasted squash for $15. It was literally three less than 1/2 inch slices of squash. It added a chicken cutlet thinking it’d be a typical salad portion and protein. I was left super super hungry and $20 down… flavor food, but portion like 5 star restaurant portion…. Tasty, but literally like a few bites .there was a pesto sauce but no ricotta.

I dropped by this newer spot on a quiet Sunday night with a few friends, curious to see what the buzz was about. Spoiler: it more than lived up to the hype.
First off, the food—wow. Every bite was outstanding, bursting with flavor. The kind of meal that leaves you thinking about it long after the plates are cleared.
The vibe? Totally unique. Outside, they’ve got a mix of seating areas—some open-air, some under cover, making it perfect whether you want to enjoy the fresh air or stay cozy.
Inside, it’s all fun and games—literally. There’s a gaming area complete with a pool table, the classic Ms. Pac-Man, and even a Photo Booth for capturing those spontaneous moments.
Whether you’re in it for the food or the cool, laid-back atmosphere, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended.

I mainly went there for the pinball. Unfortunately couldn’t stay long due to the cleaning products used, that smelled waaaaay to fruity. I went back a second time more recently and brought my partner (for pinball) but again couldn’t stay due to the cleaning product smell.

Good food, great service, sometimes a loud atmosphere.
Lackluster and very disappointing. The back patio is gorgeous, but the drinks were wayyyy overpriced and weak, and appetizers were frozen and reheated. In a city of incredible dive bars, this one sets the bar as low as possible.
Seriously good casual Italian plates. Pool. Pinball. Killer cocktails. Friendly staff. Well curated musical playlists. Big outdoor patio. Wouldn't change a single thing about this place if I could

Good vibes, laid back, big patio, and great food. My friends and I are convinced that there is a renowned chef back in the kitchen.
