50 Best Italian Restaurants near Tigard

“Good food. Ate chicken piccata if it were only a little larger portion for the price it would be nice. The flavor was excellent!“

“I placed an order online with a gift card but was instead fully charged to my own card. I called to see if they can void or fix this issue and they immediately took care of it with out hesitation and were able to get my card payment voided and gift card used. Phenomenal customer service, we love Rovente Tigard!“

“Their shrimp pasta is DIVINE! It's so flavorful and they're quite generous with the amount of shrimp too. I like how they don't take reservations because it just means you're guaranteed a spot if you're there right when they open up.“

“Oh wow. I read reviews about this place online so we made a visit when we first arrived in Portland tonight. There was only seating at the bar and that was fine as it was last minute and this place was booked up. The service was great, the drinks just perfect and the food - excellent! My husband was skeptical at first but the more he ate, the happier he was! The heirloom tomato dish with one of the foccacias is a must! We combined the prawns with a tagliatelle- delicious. The cocktails were well crafted and tasty. We will be back!“

“Just finished a wonderful dinner at Lilla. Abby the hostess/waitress/bartender was amazing and the food was delicious: eggplant tower, rigitoni with artichoke cream, grilled zucchini pizza and sweeter innocence mocktail were all fantastic. Highly recommend!“

“Mucca Osteria came highly recommended by a friend. The restaurant is indeed elegant and has a very intimate feel to it. The food was incredibly delicious. My family ordered scallops as an appetizer and all of us agreed they were among the best we've ever tasted. Our server Jenny was supremely knowledgeable about each entree and appropriate wine pairing for each of our meals. My son ordered octopus which he enjoyed immensely. The dessert they served as a birthday celebration was especially memorable. Thank you for a lovely dining experience.“

“Deli made good food restaurant, outside frescoe atomosphere, good Italian food!“

“Excellent real Italian flavors and presentation in a comfortable neighborhood location. All you can ask for Italian taste with pretense.“

“My partner and I had dinner with our new frinds last night. I recommended this restaurant because it's clean, the staff is always friendly, and their food is good. I ordered the shortribs and I thought it was a bit too garlicky this time. I LOVE garlic, but it had the bitterness taste of raw garlic. The beef was tender and tasted good as I remebered. Our server was very friendly and patient― He tried not to interrupt our conversation. decarli is hands down one of our favorite restaurants in Portland.“

“Amazing food, great prices. Not to be missed.“

“Loved this place, great food!!“

“At the risk of sounding cliche, I wish I could give the service 10 stars. I’ve never experienced a better Portland bar service, they’re always friendly, they make killer classic drinks and excellent twists on classics with very high quality ingredients and craftsmanship. When you consider the quality of the food, drinks and service combined I would say this is in my mind the best bar in Portland. They have a small kitchen but always deliver on everything they make. Please don’t come here I like having it to myself!“

“So I get so tired of going to places where I have to yell to be heard across the table. Both the Grand Amari and the Little Bitter Bar allowed for actual conversation. On top of it, had great service and the food was amazing. Wine selection was great - had a delicious Barbera. Tried the gnocchi and my socks were blown off. Sole was so delicious! All 4 of us in our party will be back!“

“Charming ambiance, phenomenal meal, and excellent service. Thank you Abigail for waiting on us. I regret it's taken us so long to find our way back here. Still as great as it was a few years ago. That's a testament to a great owner and team. We really enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer, creative mocktails, the king salmon and Dungeness crab pasta specials, and the best tiramisu in all of Portland! See you again soon!“

“Staged a good-sized wine dinner in the private room (34 people). Fantastic food & service, even with a full restaurant on a busy Sunday night. Michael and his team do a wonderful job- all the dishes were beautiful, inventive, and delicious. Don't sleep on the "Olive Oil Cake" for dessert- your taste-buds and waistband will thank you.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Portland. I finally went into the restaurant after hearing about it for so long and every single time I’ve been here, I’ve had the most exquisite food with ample portions and the most satiating flavors of Italian food and wine that you could get in Portland. It is comfort food at its finest with the best local ingredients and everything is off The chart delicious. I’ve had the pizza, I’ve had pasta, and I’ve had steak twice. Everything is delicious and I can’t get enough of it. The decanting of the wine, the sides to the bread with olives and oil/vinegar. Every single thing I eat, seems to be at the highest level of ingredients with a lot of attention to detail put into everything. The vibe of the place with the uplifting atmosphere, the decor and the righteously amazing vibes of Chrissie the head bartender…makes me keep coming back for birthdays and special occasions. I actually don’t eat out very much with fast food or takeout because I save my money for this place. I can spend $20 at Taco Bell or I could spend $20 here and usually go home very full with leftovers. Chrissie can make the most delicious concoctions and she literally looks like she’s creating something magical when she comes up with something new. Her cocktails are on point yet she’s always innovating her craft. Attention to detail for every single drink. The best recommendations for what they have that night. She informed me that they bake their bread fresh every day. Foods are sourced locally and every single dish makes me want more. I’m trying to get some variety in what I order yet. The steak does it for me every time. The pizza is the best I’ve had in town and sooooo good. I’m very picky about pizza as it’s my favorite food yet this crust and the delicious cheese and greens and everything they put into their pizza is so tasty. The flavor of every single thing I have eaten makes me want to have it again and again and again. If the Italians that I know in my community, make this a regular spot, then I also know it’s good! It’s authentic righteously on point delicious food every single time I go. All my people come with me to this restaurant for special occasions. Do yourself a favor and visit Cibo! If somebody’s coming in from out of town… Take them to Cibo! To celebrate my children’s accomplishments, I take them to Cibo! I already have two reservation reservations for the first week of January and I went there last night. It’s this good! A lot of people post pictures of the food there and I’ve had every dish that I’ve seen online… But what means the most to me about this place is the whole experience of bringing My special people here to experience, uplifting vibes, delicious and exquisite food, the most incredible drinks, and an atmosphere that takes us out of our daily life and gives us such joy and pleasure to experience. Seriously. Just eat here once and you’ll know.“

“The server was really great. I didn’t catch his name, but he was super helpful. He told me I could mix Alfredo and pesto sauce and I wish more restaurants would offer that. Especially love their pesto - it’s super garlicky in a great way. Brought my newborn and we sat inside - he quickly took a nap.“

“Omg! I am a pasta obsessed human. By the name of this place I thought it was going to be gross like noodles and company. But no way. This was absolutely delicious! I got the salmon now tie pasta, and wow! Service is prompt, food is delicious. Will be back!“

“Love love love this place. The server was fantastic. He described everything perfectly. Great communication. The food was so creative and tasty. Italian - American with a creative twist. The owner was so lovely. He gave us limoncello. We are going back for sure.“

“I think a couple weeks to the menu would be needed. We noticed the same garnish with caviar on both hot and cold dishes. The caviar on the hot pork chop wasn't very pleasing. The pork chop definitely needed a pineapple salsa or sauce with it to cut through the fattiness of the chop and grits.“

“Amazing food and service! Love love this place!!!“

“We had a great evening! Celebrated our adult son’s birthday! Excellent food and a very good and friendly server! Love this place! And our six year old had his front tooth fall out into a plate of pasta! Don’t worry, we found it :) He was so excited!“

“Friendly staff.. great food and service“

“I had one of the best dishes that I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Upon the waitresses enthusiastic recommendation (she seemed really excited about it) I went with the Boscaiola with pasta instead of ravioli. Every bite I took I closed my eyes to just enjoy the explosion of flavors. Hands down best food ever. Highly recommend but don’t forget your reservation!“

“Excellent food. Great staff. Very nice experience“

“Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Food was exquisite, tasty, beautifully plated. I had been wanting to come here for quite some time and finally made it in. We will be back.“

“Incredible food, funny and personable hosts. Our new favorite restaurant!“

“So to start the food is on point it's like a taste of the old word Italian food grandmother would make this place is a must for anyone looking to eat and real Italian food done right the service is great not rushed easy going easy to talk to people that work here the atmosphere here is relaxed and easy going like going to your favorite pub after a long day at work truly an enjoyable experience in its self my wife also agrees that Gambinos Italian cafe is a true gem“

“Always awesome every time“

“Burrata and heirloom tomatoes !“

“I just had a birthday party for 17 friends at this fantastic neighborhood restaurant! It was absolutely incredible! The service was top notch. The food, 7 courses, was amazing! Each served in a timely manner. The cocktails were finely crafted! My friends can’t stop raving about their evening at Allora!!!!“

“Best Papa Murphy's in the portland area. Always get my order correct, never had a problem with this location and I've been going here for over 16 years.This is my favorite location the staff is always nice and they know who I am when I come in.“

“Tiny little hole in the wall that offers far more than I expected. I dropped in for a quick bite. I ordered the BBQ chicken calzone. It was absolutely delicious. Far better than I anticipated, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommend.

This is more of a take out facility, as they only have three chairs and a short bar style table for seating.“

“Legitimately one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever experienced in the US. I have lived in Italy and my husband is Italian and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our dinner. The wine selection is varied and thoughtfully curated. We enjoyed a bottle of Sardinian Carignano which is a rare find in the states. The prices are more than reasonable. We had a lovely locally sourced steak that melted in the mouth for $32. Bread is homemade fresh TWICE daily and the meat and cheeses were top quality If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC Italian in Portland, look no further. Nero Gallo has it all; great food, prices, staff, atmosphere and we will most definitely be back.“

“Good good and service. Great lunch special“

“I have been at Riccardo's twice for lunch in the pass month. The food, and service are superb. I wanted to tell Riccardo in person what a wonderful Ristorante that he has, but he had already left. Thank you.“

“I took my vegetarian significant other to Dame for his birthday and our first March dining experience. Everything was so delicious and the dining month value was good. To get the same thing a la carte would have cost $10 or so more. The food is locally sourced so seasonal dishes. My squid ink pasta was so tasty with a slight kick. And my SO wanted to “take a bucket of the salad home.” Highly recommended“

“Beautiful venue, amazing food, attentive staff!“

“This Italian place always has open spots.
The spacious building invites you to relax and connect—whether it’s lunch or dinner.
Today I enjoyed a comforting bowl of Minestrone and flavorful Shrimp Scampi.
The staff here is incredibly kind—if you’d like an extra serving of soup or salad, they’ll gladly bring more with a smile.
There’s something about the warm, welcoming atmosphere that leaves you with soft memories and a quiet wish to return. ❤️“

“From the host Aria, bartender Josh, to our server Sandra, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We feel understood, welcomed, and supported. We went in with a group of 7, from 3 to 80 year olds. All the food items were delicious! And the environment was very pleasant, too.“

“This spot delivered a classic, comforting Italian-American dining experience. The meal began with warm, buttery garlic bread and a hearty vegetable soup full of rustic flavor. The fettuccine Alfredo was creamy, rich, and generously portioned—simple but satisfying. For dessert, both the tiramisu and cannoli were delightful finishes, with the tiramisu offering a balanced coffee and cocoa profile, and the cannoli adding a fun crunch with a pistachio-dusted shell and sweet ricotta filling. The whole experience felt like a cozy trip to a vintage Italian kitchen.“

“Holy 5-alarm fire! I got the Fusiili ala Vodka, which I know is supposed to have some heat, but this one —- it’s like the cap fell off the jar of chili flakes! I still loved it - the pasta was perfectly cooked, the pork shoulder was bursting with great spices, but I was still facially sweating through the whole meal. We got their Caesar salad too, which was excellent, not too much dressing and just the right amount of anchovies. The real deal, and helped cool off my lips.
Grassa has their counter service food model down pat, and the meals come out fairly quick, fresh and hot, so thumbs up there. Service is up and down, depending on how slammed they are, but I give them a pass since they do do aLOT of takeout orders and are not meant to be table service. Love that they have beer, wine and some cocktails too.
This location works well for all the reasons stated above, but we often get our food to go — the ambiance here is not that great. Strip-mall -modern-meets industrial in a cold, cavernous space does not make you want to linger. No thanks.“

“Excellent food and service. Flew in from CA for my daughter’s graduation and booked a table for 8.“

“Had a wonderful meal, sampling several dishes- the chicken, the filled pasta, and the lamb lasagna. Magnificent! Extensive bottled wine selection along with a very attentive and friendly staff in a warm, welcoming atmosphere means we will be back again and again. Oh - and the focaccia bread? Trust me, get two orders!“
