The Best Italian Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland | Eater Portland
"At Sesame Collective’s downtown Portland Italian restaurant, couples clink Peronis and zero-proof Negronis while awaiting slabs of focaccia or arancini filled with braised short rib. Sure, pastas like the decadent tagliatelle al burro, cheesy and rich with butter and cheese, are going to please the table. However, what sets the restaurant apart are its grilled entrees, like the prawns with a nutty almond romesco or pork chops with a Meyer lemon salsa. Brunch is also an option, involving things like breakfast panini or pesto polenta with poached egg." - Eater Staff
