Portland’s Best Restaurants and Bars, Spring 2025 | Eater Portland

"This downtown Portland Italian restaurant could earn its spot on the map based on hospitality alone, harkening back to an era of dining when servers in ties and vests refilled the water glasses after a sip or two, and warm focaccia landed on tables just a few moments after guests placed orders. The food meets the quality of the service, whether it’s a mound of burrata nestled in ribbons of 500-day prosciutto or sea scallops with dollops of caramelized shallots and chive blossoms, placed over a swipe of Parmesan fonduta. Pastas are made in house, with gentle bite and egg yolk-silky texture." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
