“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!!!“

“Best Italian food in Canby! Delicious every time.“

“Long live Ooh Pasta! I got the #4 peanut sauce dish and my husband got the #1 clam dish, both were 10/10! Fresh, perfectly cooked ingredients, the most delicious sauces made fresh to order, and big portions for the price. We used to come here often when we lived in the area, moved out of state many years ago but still have to come eat here whenever we’re in town!“

“Best tiramisu around. Love this place.“

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

“Dropped in for their Mercury Sandwich Week special. Came away imprwzsed by the custoner service, range of cocktails, and quality of great Italian food. Definitely worth a visit but can be busy if there a show next door at the Clinton St Theater.“

“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.“

“Love this true family restaurant! The service is impeccable. When we went the servers and hostess were speaking Italian. It’s been in Portland since the 1970’s! The founder’s adult son was cooking the night we came. The pasta was amazing, especially the “linguini by the sea“ dish. The minestrone soup was homemade and fabulous. The cannoli filling is homemade and suburb! I would have given it 5 stars but the bread wasn’t the best and the antipasto could improve. The side salad was excellent with robust Italian dressing- pucker for the vinegar! I also appreciate that this restaurant serves dinner late- they close at 10pm on the weekends!“

“We went to Grassa today at the request of a coworker. We walked in 12 deep and were able to find a table that fit all of us. We placed our order at the counter, food came to us and was delicious and fresh. Everything we tried was better than the thing we tried before it. The Cesar salad, pork belly mac and cheese, bacon wrapped dates and the canolli, 10/10. Price was also awesome. We all ate and took home food for just under $400.
You will not be dissapointed. They also have a unique cocktail list I hope to make it back and try.“

“I had to say I was very sad to see Bollywood go in the neighborhood bc it was one of my FAVORITES, but I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Maglia Rosa since the same chef was reinventing the space. We finally had a chance to dine there Friday night with a bunch of girlfriends and it was DELICIOUS. We tried almost every salad on the menu (beet/avocado/cucumber, chopped salad, and the Raddichio, all were yummy, perfectly dressed, fresh ingredients. For the main I ordered the cavatelli with beef ragu, was the perfect balance of sweet and savory, the pasta was perfectly cooked. We shared the fresh corn fritelle (corn fritters) that came with the yummiest peach chutney which felt like a nice nod to Bollywood:) For dessert I had the sorbet of the day (peach, yum!). I can't wait to come back and try some other things, I've heard the crespelle fiorentina is a favorite. I will also be back for some quick to go meals that come in handy during the busy week, and they have a lovely wine selection. They even let you taste some wines when you order your dinner. It's a bit funky ordering at the counter but that was how Bollywood was before, and it actually works, and the staff took note when the line was getting long, to add another person taking orders. Once we were at our table, several different servers checked in on us regularly and we could order additional drinks and our dessert without standing back in line which was awesome. I also just love the vibe in side with nice lighting, tall ceilings and tables of various sizes depending on your group. They also great seating outside with a lovely patio and covered area with heat lamps. Great addition to the neighborhood.“

“😀Today a group of nine of us former colleagues had a most pleasant lunch. The wait staff were very well organized and tuned in to our needs, while being in the background in our conversation. I am very impressed and recommend this place, despite their need for a restricted parking lot.“

“Came yesterday for lunch and had Kassandra as our server! She was the best, super sweet and gave us fabulous service!!!!

The only bummer of our visit was really burnt breadsticks. Not sure what was happening in the kitchen but they were seriously rock hard.“

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

“This place is a new fun addition to Sellwood Everything is intentionally approachable level of Italian food that is delivered well and the salads are crazy good, and the service is bar none. The pastas are consistently good and the atmosphere is always vibrant and lively, but you can always enjoy the conversation with whom you are with a solid experience that it's worth having.“

“stellar slices, whacky workers and endless hot chili flakes, what more do you even want?? The pizza is great and the people are even better! Conveniently located by the river, high potential for a romantic slice in the park. RUN don’t walk here folks.“

“Best NY pizza in town. You can truly taste the quality.“

“Tucci has a vast menu with options galore and reasonable prices. The service has always been excellent. They have a policy of no corkage fee so bring a bottle of wine with you! The only downside is the restaurant can be quite noisy, so be aware.“

“Extremely well run Olive Garden considering how busy it was. Highly impressed with the service, especially from our lovely, bubbly waitress Deonna. She made sure we had everything we needed responding to requests almost immediately while balancing her other tables too.“

“Excellent food and service in a comfortable environment. Highly recommended!“

“Honestly hands down one of the freshest most flavorful meals I had in 2025. Amazing pizza, great staff. Cozy environment. 10/10 for any small get together. Support local businesses!“

“Great food and great service!“
