The Best Tasting Menus and Prix Fixe Dinners in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland
"Beaverton is home to very few restaurants like Don’s Favorite Foods, a tiny Italian restaurant with an atmosphere that lands somewhere between midcentury dinner party and upscale lodge restaurant. And midcentury is not far off: Meals begin with things like Italian cold cuts and sesame popovers, clams casino and steak tartare, before moving into the world of pasta and larger, meaty mains. Owner Don Salamone blends his years in fine dining with childhood memories of his East Coast Italian American family dinners, which translate to dishes like short rib pizzaiola and pork braciole. Don’t confuse “classic” with “tired,” however; those family recipes are meticulously executed and polished, and dishes like ‘nduja carbonara or octopus with dandelion and castelvetrano olives are far from old hat. Dinner is $150 per person with vegetarian menus for $125; reserve via OpenTable." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
