"Montelupo was part of a welcome trend when it opened as a two-in-one market and restaurant. Since its inception, it has continued to expand, opening a focaccia shop in Sellwood-Moreland; however, dinner at the casual Italian cafe and bistro remains a favorite for neighborhood locals. While the restaurant does offer seasonally rotating pastas, go for the classics: delicate tajarin with truffle butter and piles of Parmesan, radiatori alla vodka bolstered with hot Italian sausage, mafaldine Bolognese, with beef and pork catching itself in the ridges of the pasta. Additionally, the market sells fresh pasta dishes to prepare at home, wine, pantry staples, and everything else needed to turn home kitchens into fine Italian dining." - Eater Staff
