"The tented sidewalk patio of this Italian market and cafe sprawls out into Northeast Flanders Street, making it a great spot to stop for a moment with a quick grab-and-go lunch, or enjoy a long — potentially romantic — conversation over dinner. In Portland, warm and cold days alternate without notice, but Montelupo’s menu caters to both, with refreshing radicchio salads during surprising sunny moments, or comforting tajarin in truffle butter and lumache alla vodka bolstered with Italian sausage when that cool breeze is still a little too cool." - Thom Hilton
