The 38 Best Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland
"In a period of time where so many Portland restaurants are overwhelmingly earnest, Killingsworth neighborhood Italian American joint Gabbiano’s exudes a good-hearted ridiculousness, a commitment to the bit that feels truly refreshing. Fried mozzarella shot glasses filled with marinara? For sure. Caprese Negronis with sundried tomato Campari and mozzarella ball garnishes? Totally. But if Gabbiano’s were simply a gimmick, it wouldn’t appear on this map; each dish has a true sense of deliciousness, from frisbee-sized discs of juicy chicken parm in a bright pomodoro, or a Dungeness crab alla vodka with the heat and crunch of pistachio chile crisp. Not every restaurant should be serious; this city needs its silly little corners, and Gabbiano’s is one of them." - Eater Staff
