“This place is truly amazing!! The cutest atmosphere, friendliest staff and omg the food and wine are THE BEST!! You definitely need to check this place out!!Parking: There is an overflow lot across the street. I have always found parking.“
“NY style pizza from a food truck? You betcha. Top PDX pizza places for NY style pizza are usually Escape from NY, SFNY, SIZZLE Pie, Baby Doll but now you can add Giants NY to the list. Ordered an 18” Pepperoni pie and everything about it is just right. The fold, the cheese pull, the taste, Yumm! Also ordered a sausage calzone because it is so rare to find a calzone here that contains ricotta cheese. This was huge and full of goodness. That ricotta sure hits the spot!“
“Hot damn, the meatballs are UNREAL. So fresh and incredible flavor. First time at this food truck and the portions are HUGE, the pasta was so fresh, and seating patio was perfect even in the winter in Oregon! Heated and covered! 10/10 and the owner was so kind and provided the best most welcoming service. This was our first time and was such a hidden surprise!“
“Food was lovely, pasta had a perfect portion size if you’re just in the middle of being hungry and not. Service was good, just took a little long because it was a friday night. Atmosphere was not the best, there was a rowdy table behind my family that just put off out our whole vibe for the night and was very overwhelming for being outside around a lot of other people. (if you easily get overstimulated I suggest eating inside) Totally not the restraints fault, just an unlucky role of the dice“
“I applaud you for being open!!! I ordered my food Togo on the phone. When I got there front door was open with a table blocking which there was a sign order here. I went to back door which was closed, I opened cause I guessed maybe that’s where you get your food Togo and it was to be picked up there. I come thru he said you order from the front( also didn’t really give me a chance to politely saying anything) and noted there was another guy in there that looked to be picking up food as well. Then went to the front he come to the front door with a iPad to take my order and I say a order Togo for Robbie. Then was “owe ok”. Get home the food was great some of the best pie I have ever had! Only reason I explained this was I think clear signage would make this transaction easier. This is a very tough time and people want to be safe. I also LIKED he asked to pay Cc over the phone and asking for the tip ahead of time does limits person contact. Will be back!“
“I was in town sort of visiting after helping move my daughter and her boyfriend to the Portland area. we randomly met the owner of this restaurant and thought we'd give it a try after seeing the menu online. Instantly loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in to be seated!!! The waitstaff was friendly and awesome, than the food came and it was delicous and off the charts amazing!!! presentation, portion size and taste was perfect in my book. I loved it!!! Great experience!!!“
“From bolognese on pasta to nettle ravioli and delicious dessert options, we all enjoyed our meal and the cozy atmosphere. The limoncello drew several sighs of delight, too. Waitstaff are very attentive and took good care of our party.Parking: On street and side/residential parking is hard to come by, so allow a few minutes to find a spot and it's all good.“

“This place was shockingly good with service to match. I had spaghetti with meatballs and my wife had beef stroganoff. Both were of the highest quality. Each bite made me stop and think about all of the flavors. It's not a fancy restaurant by any means and it's small, but that's not any reason not to go. There is a decent sized parking lot.“
“We don’t encounter a lot of Romanian food stops so I was pretty excited to find one here.Food is delicious - flavor is on point and exactly how my in laws would make their soups and creamy mash potatoes.Owner is also really nice and personable.“
“Hands down the best lasagna I've ever tasted. Paired with a glass of Chianti, I was a happy camper!Parking: It was unfortunate that I had to leave my family and park several blocks away, but the exceptional dining experience helped me forget about that inconvenience.“
“Cool little downtown Main St pizza place. What they serve - pizzas, a couple salads, calzones, panini. Oh and alcohol.Our meatball panini was overcooked so that the panini was just cracking apart. It was too dry but I thought the meatballs tasted good. The 2 pizzas we ordered were loved by their eaters. One with fig jam, prosciutto (& other toppings) had an umami thing about it and the other was olives, chicken, pesto, sundried tomatoes (& another topping) was really tasty.Nice atmosphere - rustic, comfortable wooden bench seats in the booth where we sat. Service was great - friendly, funny & attentive. Great little downtown area filled with shops & eateries.“
“There’s something really special about a place where you can sit, enjoy a meal, and sense that everyone from back of the house all the way to the front of house, has chosen to be there. Passion and intention seeps from this restaurant. What more can you ask for?Portland is lucky. Decent Italian food, outside the home, is hard to find in our city.My advice to anyone reading this review:Just go. Take an evening and just go. Try the olives and have a glass of grappa.Thank you and see you soon.“
“Every time you come to eat here you will be greated and served by the owner Tony. Have been coming here for over 5 years and his smile has only gotten biggerYou will not find larger delicious portions for a more affordable price anywhere in the entire city or better customer service. From the bottom of my heart thank you for going above and beyond when you could choose to simply to the bare minimum like so many others.“
“Hands down the best vegan pizza I have ever had. Sizzler’s vegan pizza is just really crust, tomato sauce and toppings. Most places can’t get the cheese right.This place does the vegan cheese so well - the texture (the stretchiness and the chewiness) of the cheese is just like dairy cheese.After turning vegan, I had the rare craving for pizza (not meat really) and this place is perfect for that.The ice cream was also excellent.“
“One of my all time favorite places to dine. The food is amazing, prepared so thoughtfully, with a wine selection that is so well matched. Whether you are here for lunch, dinner, dessert, or all three, you will find something you like. My favorites include: Costatine di Agnello, La Tagliata al Bistecca, Lasagna delle Marche, and Ravioli della Casa. Make sure to say hello to Riccardo!“
“We were in the area for my son's Judo tournament at PCC, so we decided to take a stroll down memory lane. My in-laws used to bring my husband here when he was growing up. My in-laws also frequented here when they were dating. It brought back a lot of memories since the passing of my MIL in February.The food was great and very plentiful. I ordered the lasagna and had leftovers. My son ordered the spaghetti and marinara with meatballs and had leftovers. Basically, we all had leftovers! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stop back in.“
“My partner and I have been fans of Pastini but had not eaten at the Bridgeport location. There was a nearly hour wait to get seated on a Saturday night, but boy was it worth it. We got excellent service from Ina, who was friendly, willing to answer any questions, and prompt in delivering our food. Prices here are excellent for the value of the food you get. Their pesto is some of the freshest I've ever had, and I fell in love with the meat sauce pasta that my boyfriend ordered. Even better was the soup of the day, which was a bacon corn chowder, that I'll definitely be craving for a long time. For dessert, they have a few good options that they typically offer at Italian restaurants, and we'd highly recommend their gelato. The restaurant was nice and clean, simple but comforting yet classy. Excellent experience here and we plan to return for sure (we just hope the chowder will be there when we do).“
“I recommend the food. The staff? I’m sitting outside City Pets next door and I can’t go in because of Covid policy. I didn’t want to sit in my hot car. Cibo was not yet open. There are five empty outside tables and zero outside tables taken. I asked if I could sit at one while I waited for City Pets to finish. The complete answer I got was “Well… we open in four minutes.” So now I stand against my car on the sidewalk, staring at five tables outside Cibo still not in use. Much appreciated. I should not have bothered to ask. I doubt anyone seated outside will appreciate me staring at them, should any tables ever be taken. Again, the food is good.“
“I ordered the large stuffed crust pepperoni pizza and it was amazing. It had thin crust and light on the sauce. it was just the right amount of spice fresh ingredients and the stuffed crust was filled with mozzarella. I will definitely order from them again.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in all of Portland. I became gluten free a few years ago but here you can sub out any pasta with a gluten free spaghetti or ziti and you cannot tell the difference. My favorite is linguine misto mare with gluten free spaghetti. I make sure to come here everytime I'm in Portland.Dietary restrictions: GF“
“I went here on a Sunday morning. It's a relatively small place, a corridor with about 5-6 tables. You're always within earshot of all of them. There is a cabinet with exotic looking wine on one end and the barista/cash counter on the other. There are a few snacks available as well, but the coffee is of course the main attraction. I thought I knew something about the espresso coffee variants, but I found myself stumped by the names of the drinks on there, and put on the spot, I went for the usual latte. Next time I will do more research beforehand and definitely pick one of the more exotic drinks. The coffee tasted great! Give it a try if you are looking for something different.“
“Dined here last last night for the first time and had the best dish I've had this year - the Lamb Sugo. Great upscale atmosphere, attentive and friendly service from the host to the server to the bartender. I stuck my head in the kitchen to compliment the chef and it was received with genuine appreciation. Will definitely be going back for more!!!“
“Old-school red sauce Italian. The food here ordered by DoorDash so am not familiar with in-store service. The food reminds me of New England which is my favorite style. Haved ordered several times and food is delicious. Seriously delicious.“
“Our family really loves this pizzeria! They have the best wings and kale salad in addition to their pizzas. I love the garlic bread and we always order the Soprasetta And the Italian sausage pizzas to share.! This is our favorite pizza place!“
“This was our first time at Grassa and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We even had a misunderstanding about ingredients and the front manager, Andy, not only took care of it right away for us, he also comped the meal, which amazed us. We will most definitely be back!We had the Luke, the Miles, a Caesar salad, garlic bread, and the gnocchi. All of it amazing!“
“Server fun and her first night, and she was great!Food hot , which is number one in my book .Hamburger little over cooked they do not any thing dut well done. If it would 165 med it would have rocked. Tomatoes lettuce and pickels fresh and hot fries crispy delicious. ? ranch good too.“
“The pizza here is always top notch and delicious. On 9/21/23 I placed a to go order for me to pick up after work and accidentally worked past the time I was supposed to pick up my pizza. When I got to the store the associates working told me that they were going to remake my pizza free of charge. I told them I was totally fine with the old pizza as it was my fault but they insisted and asked if I could wait five more mins. They didn’t have to do that and I’m now going home with fresh pizza. You’ve got a very kind PM crew there today. I always have a good experience with Rovente teammates but today was way above and beyond and it needed to be recognized. Thank you!!“
“My wife and I had dinner here on Tom Grant Tuesday as Tom was playing music during dinner. It was great to see and hear him in action as he played at our reception over two decades ago. We had a chance to chat with him and snapped a photo. Dinner was great as was the service. We will definitely be back again on Tom Grant Tuesday!“
“Bugatti's is one of the best restaurants I've eaten in. The food was to die for, and the service was top notch. The prices weren't bad either! If you're in the area, you really need to try Bugattis. You won't be disappointed!Vegetarian options: I'm not a vegetarian, but the clam chowder and champagne salad were delicious, and my friend and I shared a turkey club that was like one you've never seen. The bread sticks were handmade foccacia, served with an oil with little chunks of garlic in it.“
“The restaurant is very nice, inside and out. The menu has what you expect, which in this case is great. We were seated immediately, and the staff were quick to provide drinks, menus, and garlic bread sticks. The food was great, I enjoyed the Tour of Italy. It's a big plate, and I ate everything.Prices are about the same as all the other restaurants, so it won't break the bank. I will add that the chairs are not comfortable, but if they were, people wouldn't leave after they ate. I highly recommend this Olive Garden. CheersParking: Parking is really good. I have a full size 1 ton diesel truck, and I had no problem parking. Parking is available on 3 sides of the building“
“Restaurant was busy but my waiter Cedar (forgive me if spelled wrong) he was good and very attentive, food was hot and fresh and the ice tea was fresh too. He has great customer service skills. The manager is very involved and yes manager there was a beeping coming from the first dining room. I always enjoy coming here.“
“The view was great, and the food was truly amazing! By far the best lasagna I have ever had. Between meal and that of the rest of my party, all of the food; Chicken Parmigiano, Mizithra cheese pasta, and garlic cheesy bread, was absolutely great. I would recommend this restaurant to any and everyone who even remotely likes Italian food.“
“We were coming back through the city and wanted a late night bite to eat, and this pizza place came through as they're open late at night! We got the chicken Alfredo and it was pretty good! It definitely hit the spot for a near-midnight snack. The portions and prices were pretty fair as well, as we didn't want a ton of leftovers since we were leaving the next day, but it still satisfied us. LoveVerona is a great option for pizza in Portland!“
“Great place to dine for seniors. Go before the dinner hour for no waiting to seat and great service. Senior menu offers a smaller entree for less money, but with all the trimmings. Handicapped parking close to entrance with slight ramp to sidewalk. Greeter seated us in a booth a short walk from the entrance. Partner managed easily with his cane. Has gluten-free pasta option for $1.99 additional.“
“Ordered the pepper Philly cheese steak. I added mayo to mine. I absolutely loved it. Plenty of meat and great balance of cheese. Can't believe I waited so long to try it. Bought a brownie too. Very good. Had an IPA beer while I waited. All around great experience.“
