The Best Restaurants and Bars in Portland’s Pearl District | Eater Portland

"From Nostrana’s James Beard-nominated founder Cathy Whims, Oven and Shaker serves wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas made using a decades-old sourdough starter. Years of trips to Italy yielded a menu stacked with Italian street food and libations, like saffron arancini, kale salad with apples and aged balsamic, and pizzas topped with pistachio pesto, pork belly, and maple. Don’t sleep on the cocktails, which often incorporate Italian amari, fortified wines, and liqueurs; the nonalcoholic menu is also extensive." - Thom Hilton
