Where to Eat and Drink in Portland’s Pearl District
"Walking into Via Delizia, the first thing that greets diners is a looming faux olive tree and walls depicting a rambling street in Italy. Via Delizia started as a cafe focused on gelato and pastries, and later expanded to a full restaurant serving fresh pastas and salads. In the mornings, locals flock to the trattoria for Italian-style espressos and the black pearl Benedict with apple balsamic creme sauce. And it’s impossible to leave without at least one scoop of the restaurant’s gelato, which has held the neighborhood’s attention for more than 15 years." - Maya MacEvoy, Thom Hilton
