8 Best Italian Restaurants near Portland

“Matt, Ryan and Rene were perfect! We had constant attention and stellar service. We ordered the Calabrian Steak & Shrimp Bucatini, which was one of the best meals I’ve had in quite a while. The chef cooked our steaks exactly the way we wanted them, and the shrimp was delicious. The pasta was tender, and the sauce was unbelievable! The restaurant was busy but we didn’t have to wait. We can’t wait to come back for more. Absolutely amazing, Olive Garden! What a great visit.“

“Highly recommend Luciano’s. Great atmosphere, food, customer service and management all together make this a great experience. Mr. Matthew, one of the managers, served us during our dinner visit. They were needing some help serving and he had no problem filling the spot because this team of professionals work well as a team. Many from the team have been working together for many years. This is the where you achieve the inviting welcoming family atmosphere. This, along with the great food, made our experience a great one. Thank you Mr. Matthew, we will be visiting again soon.“

“We have eaten at Bellino’s several times recently. Delicious food and pleasant and efficient servers. We love their chicken parmigiana. Pizzas, and trying their specials.“

“I had the beef tips today and it was DELICIOUS. My vegetables were cooked perfectly- even a crispy carrot. Perfect, perfect tomato basil soup.“

“Marco’s and Co, and Kathy, are incredibly professional and easy to work with. We hired them to cater for our small wedding (~65 attendees including bridal party, vendors, and security), and Kathy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to recommendations, and even provided reasons for why they did certain things they way they did (bowtie pasta for alfredo due to it being attire friendly when it came to sauce, unlike fettuccine). Their food is excellent, accommodating, and they offer a wide variety of options considering their price point, which is absolutely perfect for budgets. Their servers are professional and not pushy when it comes to passing hors d'oeuvres, and they came prepared to package the leftovers in smaller personal containers and in larger foil pans. Overall, their food is amazing, their people are amazing and conduct themselves very professionally. They absolutely outdid themselves, and we would hire them again in a heartbeat.“

“I hav never had bad service there and the food is good every time.“
