We had the focaccia and olives to start, and the rabbit and rotolo for our entrees. Everything was delicious and came out very quickly. It was fun to sit at the counter and see our food prepared right in front of us. We will be back!
By far the best dining experience I've had in Oregon, our server was exceptional, our glasses were never empty and the food was delicious, we had 2 entrees, an appetizer and desert, the whole experience was under 100 dollars for an amazing meal. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of their menu.
The food and the service was great and I love the little backrooom dinning area. It was very cozy and cute. The tiramisu was amazing!
Excellent service. We had a reserved space at the counter. Everyone from chef to wait staff and concierge were outstanding. Food very good. We will return👍
We were pleasantly surprised about our first visit to and dinner at Tortuca. Food and service were excellent It was certainly not our last visit. Uta
The food was fabulous. The menu is very seasonal and changes a lot, but we had the burrata and two pastas and we were blown away. The flavors and the presentation was all perfect. We both had a glass of wine which were also very good. Ambiance was cozy and elevated. Server was attentive and very helpful. We enjoyed our date night very much. We didn't opt for the desserts as there were only two options and neither seemed to pique our interest. We noticed a boozy ice cream place down the street and had a scoop there. We love making the trek to Mississippi.
Unfortunately, the photos that were online do not depict what they actually are serving and due to that after we arrived, realized that the menu was completely different understanding they changed it from time to time, but if you're going to submit photos to what your surveying it should align with what you actually are serving in this case we ended up leaving because we were looking for the photos we were looking for what you were advertising, you did supply, but you did not
Amazing food and service! My family loved it for our small get together and we are already talking about going back!
I reserved a table at this restaurant, drove 40 minutes to get there, but when I arrived, I was told that the restaurant was closed already. I think that says everything you need to know about the level of service and attention to customers at this place...
The food, service, and vibe were exceptional. The freshly made pasta is reason enough to dine here. Very intimate space, reserve a table. Slight criticism, just because usually everything is perfection - it seemed to be an off night for the baker - the foccacia was not as I remembered it, dense instead of airy, and the budino was runny to the point we didn't finish it. A first! Keep doing what you're doing, Tartuca. We love this restaurant.

Tartuca is a cozy restaurant with a small, pasta-centric menu. It has a nice ambiance with an open kitchen and bar and high top seating, and a small patio in the rear. My wife and I had excellent service from Hayden, who said he'd only been there 3 weeks. We started with oysters for my wife, focaccia with prosciutto, and olives. We shared a Caesar salad, and my wife had lamb meatballs and parsnips; I had radiatori pasta with Bolognese sauce. All was quite good. I brought a nice bottle of ‘17 Brunello for which there was a $30 corkage fee. The only drawback to this place is a limited menu with no secondi (older menu online had several).
Our server....sorry I cannot remember her name.....Very short blond hair....was terrific!!!!! The four of us all had different meals and everyone was very happy with what they ordered. I had the pasta with tomato, garlic, leeks and it was fabulous!!!!! Keep that one the menu. We will definately be back
Dinner was most excellent, as was staff and ambience. Not stuffy or fancy. Food prepared to order. Every dish outstanding. Will go back. Thank you for a wonderful evening
First time; definitely not a last time. Fantastic service from the welcoming to the good night...thank you for coming. Food was excellent, as were cocktails and the wine paired with our dinners.
I really wanted to give more stars and like the place more but the food was decent, not great. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it and The taste was definitely there... But, for instance- I ordered the braised beef and I thought there was going to be a bunch of meat in it. Nope! I seriously got like one shred of meet it was a literally a bunch of dough balls in barely any sauce. A friend of mine wanted one of the noodle dishes but without me and they told her that they would make it and add a bunch of different vegetables for her- it came out and was just a bunch of noodles came out but only had 1 vegetable in it and not much of it either. They try to get too fancy or something with their dishes and are missing the mark. It's expensive for what you get.
