"This Portland favorite for fresh pasta doused in punchy sauces recently opened a large, bright space on the Vancouver Waterfront. The menu includes pastas like wild mushroom alfredo and cacio e pepe, as well as kid-sized portions of the spaghetti and meatballs and mac and cheese. On sunny days, the family can hit up the waterfront’s interactive water play feature after an early dinner, or take an easy stroll along the Columbia River Renaissance Trail." - Rachel Pinsky
