"Lilla will be Portland’s first fully vegan Italian restaurant since Portobello closed in 2016. It will offer handmade pastas with sauces like hazelnut pesto and marinara, as well as Italian-style comfort foods, including meatballs, bruschetta, soy chicken parmesan sandwiches, and 12-inch thin crust pizzas. The vegan cheeses used will be made in-house from sunflower seeds or soy. The restaurant will also offer beer and wine pairings, take-and-bake lasagna, and other pasta dishes for takeout." - Waz Wu
