Feels very homey and comfortable, but loud due to the small venue. My “steak” came warm and pre-cut like a children’s menu item. This was not worth $27 dollars. Won’t be returning, not worth the money. No one asked us how it tasted. Understandable as the steak was salty and the blue cheese was store bought crumbs.
Food, drinks, and service were great, as usual!
Enjoyed the food and drinks with a friend. Would definitely go back.
The people, food and service are 5 star. Atmosphere/ambience is loud but just people having fun (there is, after all, an Italian influence here). One suggestion: Make the House Manhattan neat, not on the rocks. 2 ice cubes and stir, pour into chilled glass with 1 cherry. Same price $9 is OK with that adjustment. One caution caveat: portions are small, poor value for the $$$. Parking: Bank across the street is open free after 5:00. Generous and helpful.
they were pretty cool about us hanging out there on their steps while they were opening, and we got two spacebags from the QFC, and then we caught our southbound outta brooklyn yard that same night. portland hospitality can suck real bad a lotta times, so five stars for the chillness. didn't get to try the food tho.
This restaurant and staff are the best I have encountered in a long time! From the moment we entered with our large group, the owner (?) led us to the enclosed heated patio and started moving tables and chairs for us. The biggest thing for me was I was super excited for a slider on their happy hour menu from their website, but wasn't on their current menu, but they made it for me anyway. It was delicious (could have used some aioli), but they were so awesome to do that for me. We ordered so many things off of the happy hour many and they all were amazing that we kept ordering more. We were happily stuffed after that meal. Thank you!
Great atmosphere, pretty good service, food and drink.
Excellent service and ambiance but the food itself was mediocre. Gnocchi were drowned in sauce and ‘pecorino’ looked more like powdered Parmesan, burger tasted like it had been frozen and thawed. Wine and dessert were lovely, may return just for this in the future.
