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!“

“Incredible food, cutest little restaurant. Had such a good time. My husband and I ordered three antipasti dishes, two half orders of pasta, a side, and a special and that was great amount of food.

We tried the trout special and it was AMAZING! A real stand out.

The atmosphere is very nice, when i walk by at night it always looks so cozy in there like a movie. I will be back for sure :)“

“Walking in the door, we weren't sure if we came in the right door. A large curtain was right inside. I'm sure to keep out the weather, but no real direction once inside. For dinner it is tapas styled ordering. We had salad, gnocchi, prawns, a few more plates. Now, none of the food was bad, it just wasn't good. No balsamic for the bread. The gnocchi tasted more like slices of mozzarella in an alfredo sauce. The servers seemed as if we were putting them out when we ordered. The tables were so close together that we were uncomfortably involved with one tables politics and the others sexual escapades from the night before. Maybe try another time.“

“Absolutely in love with this place. The atmosphere is so cute and the food is phenomenal. We loved the raspberry vanilla Italian sodas, the chicken parmesan, and the pepperoni pizza. The chicken parmesan had great flavor and I loved the texture of the noodles. The pizza had excellent thin crust.“

“Fresh pasta and inventive salads“

“Great foods and great waitress!“

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

“Great food! Our first visit and we were very happy with everything. Enjoyed our waiter’s knowledge of menu items.“

“Elegant setting for a romantic date or a family dinner. Highest quality ingredients, ethically sourced meats, handmade pasta, always a delightful experience.“

“Delicious and interesting (but not TOO impetuous to where they’re trying too hard), this restaurant has become one of my favorites in the city after almost 20 years of calling Portland home. The staff are passionate about food and wine and good service. They’ll be happy to make this a truly enjoyable experience. I have never felt rushed even a little bit. They understand dining and good wine and the love shows. I’ll be back (with lots of friends) again and again.“

“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.“

“Patrick and his staff go ABOVE and beyond in terms of giving the best service and preparing the most delicious food. You can tell every dish is made with love, with so much attention to detail down to every single ingredient. Every time we dine-in, we are never disappointed and leave full and happy. Every dish I’ve tried always exceeds my expectations. Patrick is dedicated in his work and wants every single customer to experience the best. That’s what I love about Patrick, he will go out of his way to make sure you get to experience the full potential of every single one of his dishes. He’s always trying to find ways to improve his dishes every single day (which I’m not sure how that’s possible when it’s already the best) but that’s just the type of guy he is, always wanting to do better. Thank you for always taking care of us and making sure we have the best time when we come in❤️“

“We dined here on Sunday night August 18. It was a beautiful summer evening. We ate on the patio. The place had a nice romantic vibe. Lots of couples having a nice time. Our server, Emma, was very nice. We started with the the bruschetta and insalata Verdura. The bruschetta was pretty good but the salad was so bland. My mother makes better salad dressing than that. My husband had the prawns Verdura. It was very good. I had eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant was delicious, but there was no sauce on the linguini. I thought that was strange so I asked for sauce. I waited 5 minutes or so and Emma came by to ask if I had received the sauce. I said no. She went over to the kitchen, asked for sauce and had to stand there and wsit for a good 2 minutes for someone to hand her sauce. They weren't very busy. We thought this was peculiar. I don't know if they were short handed or what. Their sauce was good by the way. Not sure if we'll go back. We just felt sorry for Emma, so we tipped her well.“

“We were in Portland overnight and Gilda's was recommended to us by the hotel staff. The food was amazing. It was crazy busy and the staff were hustling, but very professional. Even when a customer at the next table was being unnecessarily difficult (his companion and the waitress and we all knew it was his error, not the waitress's) the waitress handled the situation with grace. We were so impressed with the food and the staff, we went back on our return trip through Portland a week later. Equally impressive food and service, but on a slow night, so the staff had time to happily engage with customers. Shout outs to Taylor and Gabby and Chef Marco. Everything was delicious and the service was friendly and professional. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing service and food. I went in tonight on a date night with my partner. We haven't been in here in a few years. I was impressed by the staff, their kindness, attention and the food was amazing. Got the organic salad with sherry vinaigrette, chilled red wine ( holy cow finally a place has this!) and the chicken sausage ravioli. My partner got the pomadoro and stout beer. Both were great and he was happy with the protein portion (chicken) of his dish. Overall an amazing night here. Grateful for the nice staff, as we started out at the bar, thought it was too cold and moved. They were attentive and helpful when I had questions and needed more wine. THANK YOU. I rarely get to go out and this experience exceeded my expectations. We will be back soon. 10 stars.“

“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“

“Excellent food. Great staff. Very nice experience“

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

“Always awesome every time“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Burrata and heirloom tomatoes !“

“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“

“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. ❤️“

“I used Mama Mia Catering for a Christmas Party last night. The delivery came perfectly on time, food was hot and fresh, portions were perfect, and many people asked where it came from as they headed for seconds.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Although the service and atmosphere were excellent, we were disappointed in the food offered for “happy hour”. The short rib beef sandwich looked great however the taste was a disappointment. Also, there is no value in happy hour as you are only saving $2 on well drinks and paying full price on the food. My advice is to skip the happy hour menu as the food is marginal and options are slim.“

“Friendly staff.. great food and service“

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

“The only thing my daughter and I don't like is the bread that is served with the pasta, and is also used to make the Panini. The bread is so bad… I don't recommend the Panini.
My favorites are the Carbonara and Gnocchi.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed lunched with my daughter and granddaughter today. So many delicious choices, great kids menu. Everything was so fresh. Planning to have dessert next time! We ate inside, outdoor seating is available.“

“Listen, I don’t have much to say, everything was a blur. Pasta, delicious. BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. ?THE ?MAC ?N ?CHEESE ?WITH ?PORKBELLY WAS SO FREAKING GOOD!!!

Affordable prices, nice portions, and best pork belly I have ever had. Listen, as an Asian man, I enjoy some good, crispy pork belly; BUT THIS?! Crispy, tender, perfect amount of sweetness. I have never had anything like it and will be back for more!!“
