The pasta was so delicious and the waitstaff were all so kind and helpful. I can't wait to come back here and try a different dish. I would recommend coming in as a pair or a trio since seating is limited. We had 3 in our party and came at 5:20 and had to wait almost an hour (we were prepared for this and it was no issue), so keep that in mind!
The food was incredible and there was a huge wine selection. Our server was very helpful in our wine selection. The atmosphere is cozy yet sophisticated. We had a wonderful time. We were there for a small birthday dinner but it is a lovely date spot if you get on the wait-list early.
Love this place. I always get the Tagliatelle with beef and pork ragu! Tried the crostini cod and rabbit liver, both were tasty. Dessert was excellent - poached pear was my favorite.
Hands down my favorite restaurant in all of Portland! I’ve eaten here countless times and it never gets old. So many options for having a dairy restriction. My perfect order: Fennel Salad Octopus and Potato Clams and Spaghetti Stuffed Trout Pork Chop Cabbage Cauliflower and Pine Nuts They have lovely wines. The entire crew is amazing and Andrew is the best!
This is a classic Italian spot we have gone to whenever we want a fun, cute night out. Quite often there are also solo diners just enjoying the atmosphere! They always have fun new options and delicious classics. Great extensive wine menu. Their handmade pastas are amazing, and are offered in full and half sizes. We like to split and share, and 2 half sizes plus a salad is always perfect. Add an appetizer if you need a bit more. We got the Radiatore with lamb & saffron, and I believe the cavatelli with pesto. NOTE there can sometimes be a wait, but luckily a sister-wine bar, bar Martina, opened next door and you can even order a bottle there and finish it during your meal. perfect place to wait!
