Grassa

The Best Restaurants to Bring Your Kids in Portland | Eater Portland

"The children’s singer-songwriter Caspar Babypants once wrote an entire song about how much kids love noodles and butter, and this local chain serves a $5 version for pasta-particular kids. For an elevated-but-non-stuffy take on pasta, Grassa serves house-made noodles in a casual, counter-service setting. The pork belly mac and cheese is a huge hit of course, but you can’t go wrong with a simple combo of cacio e pepe made with truffle butter, salt, and pepper, or the spaghetti aglio olio with breadcrumbs and garlic. Kids pastas spaghetti and (one) meatball, mac and cheese, plus — of course — noodles and butter." - Rebecca Roland
