Amalfi's Italian Restaurant

I had lasagna - it was hot and cheesy and melty. It was a nice size, but next time I’ll probably try a different dish, as I found it adequate but not a star of the show. I started my meal with the wedge salad (shared) and it was outstanding. My fave of course was the scoop of spumoni ice cream at the end. I took a look at the happy hour menu and that may be worth checking out in the future. My dining partners mostly chose the lite spaghetti dinner and were all happy with it. The meatballs looked like a nice size. The pizza was not good - very odd tasting dough and tough crust.

Happy hour. Food was just delicious. Carafe of cocktails is recommended. Service absolutely impeccable.

Great place for Italian that won’t disappoint. I will say the best part of this experience was out servers Zahn and Lindsey. Outstanding service, checked on us multiple time and made the experience worthwhile. Check them out! Atmosphere was relaxing and friendly.

Amalfis is ridiculous. Happy hour is only in the bar area. Happy hour is not happy. The drinks are small & weak. The bartender is not friendly. The whole experience was not enjoyable. Pizza was decent but not exceptional. Overpriced! Will not be back.

As someone who grew up going here for pasta for 20 years, my wife and I were a little shocked that it went from a very comfortable family style to a modern less than inviting family restaurant. There is something to be said for updating but I think this went a little too far. The food was okay; certainly not what it used to be. The marinra sauce was a little too watery. We will be back for sure to try it again. Can't say enough good things about the GM!!! Great call on putting her in charge (shorter lady long dark hair). I was glad to hear that the restuarant is still in the family! This is probably the biggest reason we will be back. Specifically because we used to always get served by Deb (Debbie). She always made us feel like family!! The spamoni ice cream is still wonderful and the cake are delicious! The antipasti was also amazing!! Maybe a little tweek to the sauce would make it better or is this even the orginal recipe with fresh ingredients? We will look forward to another try and hopefully see a full dinner option vs ala carte menu.

We ordered our food to go through the website. It was quick and easy to use. The staff prepared and packaged our order perfectly. When I opened the container that had my spaghetti and meat sauce, it was still perfectly hot. The overall flavor was divine. I highly recommend if your looking for some authentic Italian food. Maybe next time we will get to dine in for the full experience.

I wish I had realized how close Amalfi’s is to me much earlier. Crazy tasty Italian food. I had the Chicken Parmesan - hot damn the garlic bread was good. The layers of cheese, sauce, and chicken was just what the Dr ordered. My wife had the Lasagna and loved it. Between our table we ordered what felt like most of the menu. Everyone enjoyed. The pizza looked great. They have it all.

We generally take out when we get Amalfi's. This time we dined in. While the food is not going to blow you away, it is consistently good. Our kids love it. Everyone working was friendly and welcoming. The place was about 1/3 full and the service was slow.

My in-laws had their first date at Amalfi's in 1964. It seemed only fitting to have my Mother-in Laws celebration of life in a place they both loved. They have been loyal customers for all these years. Amalfi's has been a place for our entire family to celebrate special occasions. We chose to have it catered and had around 50 people. Michael-Gene and her staff were all amazing everything was perfectly timed. The food was excellent we have received several messages to say how everyone loved it. Kiauna the owner even stopped in to offer her condolences. I would not hesitate to have catering events here. Thank you Amalfi's for taking such good care of Norm and Kathy over the years.You made yesterday a very special memory for all of us who loved Kathy.

We've definitely had better vegetarian Italian food in PDX. Quantity was alright for sharing, definitely more than enough for 1 person. Service was great. Our server was friendly and attentive. It seemed to be a popular place for birthday celebrations. We had 4 other birthdays on that day. That being said- I'd recommend this place for someone trying it for the first time... we probably won't go back again.... Although the pizzas on the menu looked intriguing!! (Oh, none of us ordered pizzas.. so no reviews on that!) Here are all the vegetarian options we tried- Greek salad - was ok. I'd pass. Lasagna - ok.. better than manicotti Manicotti- hard pass! Cheesy garlic bread- dominos is better than this! So.. pass

I would not recommend this place, is not well ran and food is very underwhelming and heavy. They have no menus and only use QR codes that are not legible for your phone to read. Also there was a VERY large swarm of flies not being delt with. If you want to spend good money than go somewhere better.

Went to Amalfi's on a Wednesday evening to have dinner with a friend. Upon approaching the restaurant, I noticed the exterior of the building was clean and so was the inside of the restaurant. You get to seat yourself. Signs said to place orders using the QR code, but the server said he would take our orders. I ordered the Lasagna which came with a piece of garlic bread and a Shirley Temple. I ordered the Greek Salad and the Spicy Noma 54 pizza to take home to a family member. The food didn't take long to come and it was delicious! I really enjoyed the Lasagna. It was presented well, was hot and bubbly, but the portion size compared to the price was poor. Once we had finished eating, we asked for to-go boxes and the check. Both came quickly. It took awhile for the server to take the payment. That was the biggest downside to my experience at Amalfi's. I would definitely go again as I hear they have live music on the weekends. I also recommend this restaurant.

The worst restaurant experience I've ever had in Portland. Nonexistent service: you enter your order on your phone after scanning a QR code, self-service water from plastic cups, pay and tip in advance, and food takes forever to come out. Meanwhile the prices are the same as a full-service restaurant. Food is mediocre at best. The massive patio was near empty when we visited on a Sunday night, and now I understand why. Depressing atmosphere. Maybe it was an off night; they apologized and gave us a free dessert for takeaway before we left, but in a city with so many great dining options there is no reason to ever go back.

The only constant in life is change. I have so many fond memories of going to Amalfi's as a child with my family. We would order a pizza and watch the old clock with the hands that spun backwards with amusement. My how times change! We visited today for the first time in awhile. The ambiance has changed. They have a bar with a small fire pit and booths and tables up the stairs. They also have a Mercato where you can purchase take out food and other Italian treats. It seems to have lost its original Italian feel, but it's still a nice restaurant. They also have ample outdoor seating with live music during the summer which is nice. We ordered a half Legendary Combo and half Mediterranean pizza. The pizza wasn't as good as I remember. The cheese was a bit stringy, and the crust was too hard. Our original server was very friendly, but then she disappeared, and we had a total of 3 different servers that came to our table. Odd.. I wanted the nostalgic Amalfi's from my past, but tonight, I did not receive it.

Our neighbors recommended this place as my out-of-town sister and brother-in-law love old-school Italian. It came well recommend. The anti-pasta platter was capable. My sister enjoyed the chicken parmigiana while her man enjoyed the veggie lasagna. I ordered the meat lasagna, and I found the noodles a bit too firm for my liking... but generous portions and served piping hot. The garlic bread was super yummy btw. We were too stuffed for desserts. Overall, a good experience with a friendly staff and a variety of seating options. Very family/kid friendly. The neighborhood was super cute too. We did some window shopping afterwards ... to let the pasta settle!

I must have passed this place a hundred times, I'm around this area a lot because my dad lives pretty close to these establishments. My father and I and his friend came in here got a few drinks and got a pizza. Now considering Portland is surrounded by Pizza establishments everywhere you look, this place was actually pretty good. The toppings were fresh the cheese was fresh, the crust, it was okay, I do prefer thicker crust, but that's just the way they make their Pizza here. Very good customer service, a really laid-back spot, you can come in here just for a snack or a few drinks. I love the vibe here I would definitely come back.

Very disappointed with my dinner last night. Back in the 70's when we went there it was very authentic Italian food served fresh and home made like Italian food should be served. Last night the Raviolis were machine made like you would buy in the frozen food area in stores. Minestrone soup was like water down with very small amount of vegtables and noodles. Garlic bread was dry hardly toasted and had very little spread on it. The Cobb salad was swimming in dressing and the the lettuce was hard. All that was very over priced. Olive Garden is 100% better and for half the price, sorry but it was very disappointing, not the same anymore.

These guys still get a 5 star review from but I must say I believe there real specialty is their pizza. The dishes are at best average. They could totally succeed just as an Italian pizza house.

Based on ambiance alone, Amalfi's deserves five stars. I'd driven past several times before, and knew I was going to love it here, but the experience was further enhanced by dining outdoors, under a patio table, in perfect, 70-ish degree sunny weather. A cocktail, a bowl of hearty pasta, and some *live music!*, and that, my friends, is a recipe for perfection! The interior décor is similarly charming. My wife and I toured the place while waiting for our order, and agreed that this would be a wonderful place for a cozy, casual date night. We were also impressed by the variety and quality of goods available in the attached mercado, which is sure to see repeat visits from us to grab some ready made pastas, pizzas, cheeses, cocktail mixers, sauces, sausages, preserved meats, cheeses, chocolates, and other fun grab-and-go goodies. Amalfi's only falters, sadly, in its entrées and their presentation. The food is hearty, home-cooked style, but fails to impress on a technical level. It's definitely not *bad*; it's just not knock-your-socks-off amazing. Part of this lies in expectation: considering how everything else about Amalfi's is top notch, it was slightly disappointing to discover that the food doesn't rise to the same level as the ambiance of the restaurant would imply. As my wife remarked, it's "better than the Old Spaghetti Factory", but light years shy of Nostrana or similar Italian heavy-hitters. When dining in, ordering is as you'd expect, with tableside service provided by Amalfi's fantastic servers. Outside, it's a different beast: orders can be placed via either a manned kiosk on the side of the restaurant, or a QR code at your table, which brings you to a website where you can place the entirety of your order, check out, pay AND tip, before anything arrives at your table. This is not my favorite means of ordering, as it is extremely impersonal, and tipping ahead of time may fail to deter bad servers from improving, but for this experience, it was fine. Our order arrived within 15 minutes, hot and fresh. My wife couldn't decide between the ravioli or the carbonara so, sticking with the same pattern we've gone with at other Italian restaurants, I ordered one, she ordered the other, and we split them both. Each of them was hearty, filling, and tasty, but also a bit basic, with nothing that made either stand out or "wow" us. Meat, cheese, tomato sauce...all the actors were on stage, but none of them was the star of the show; instead, they were more of an ensemble cast - all of them working together in equal measure. I felt like I could make both of them at home, with a similar level of quality, and for a lot cheaper than their associated price tags. Of course, Amalfi's patio is better than mine, so I guess we're paying a premium for such an excellent outdoor venue! Another oddity: while our entrées arrived on proper dinnerware, we saw several other diners' orders delivered in paper bowls and other disposable dinnerware. My wife's iced tea came in a similar paper soda cup, but thankfully, my Dime Piece cocktail came in a glass. The inconsistency of the tableware seemed strange; an artifact of the (thankfully dying) COVID era? I hope so, because a restaurant this classy, at least on the surface, should aspire to do better. Overall, Amalfi's is a five-star venue, serving three-star food, brought to you by four-star servers, on two-star dinnerware. There are far more positives than negatives, with the pros being overwhelmingly favorable, and the cons being mostly nitpicks. Knowing this ahead of time will help you to temper your expectations, and get the most bang for your buck during your visit.

Paid $25 for vegetable lasagna that came in a small tray. Food was ordinary, service friendly but slow. I didn't order drinks just water but the bill for three was about $100. Won't be going back anytime soon.

On the one hand, they had a nice outdoor space with a live band, if that's what you're looking for. It was too warm for us though so we ate inside. We were not charmed by having to order from our phones without the chance to ask for modifications, clarifications or recommendations. The drinks were fine and no more overpriced then the next restaurant. The antipasto plate was nothing special, that you couldn't pull out of a jar or package. I split a pizza with one of my dining mates and it was cut into little pieces midwestern style. The crust was rather artless and the toppings just okay. My other companion did not enjoy her chicken parm. There must be better ltalian restaurants in Portland.

Wonderful ambience and atmosphere. Great cozy bar experience. The food is exquisite, their market is unique with Italian specialties. I hate the meatballs & mozzarella along with their cheese bread! Bellissimo!

I have lived in the neighborhood 8 years and finally made it in, and it was a horrible mistake. Mediocre pub pizza and the worst pasta and meat sauce I have ever had in my life. I'm not one to go to Olive Garden, but I guarantee I would have been 10x happier with my food if i did. Server did take my order instead of the QR code on the table, and she was very nice. Star added for the nice patio and live music. This is seriously cafeteria food delivered right off the Sysco truck and heated up, without any seasoning or additions. A lot of frustrated diners around me for the time to receive their food, and a lot of food left on dishes after food did arrive. I don't think this is a one off situation, and wouldn't go back unless for music and a drink, and maybe a select appetizer or pizza if I was starving.

Always a good call, at least for those of us that grew up in NE Portland. Reasonably priced. pizzas are a bit better than the pasta dishes. Big outdoor space.

It's a bummer. We've gone here on and off for years because we live in the neighborhood. Used to be a community staple. Now you order via the QR code at the table-- no service and the food is meh. We'll be at Red Sauce from now on.

I was really impressed by their Vegetarian Lasagna! It seemed very authentic, and I love the personalized size. Also, we were big fans of the Tiramisu. The service was very great, also!

Fancy restaurant prices, Olive Garden Quality. the pizza menu is kind of confusing / misleading so we did not get what we thought we ordered - we didn't want to waste food so we were going to eat it, but it was also very undercooked so we ended up just not eating it in the end unfortunately. They gave us a refund, I really appreciated that, hence the 3 stars. The music was amazing!

Since the beginning of the pandemic we have tried this spot three or four times for take out. It was average at best but easy and quick to pick up. Since things are opening up again we thought we would go in for a sit down experience. We were barely greeted and then told to order at one of the two counters once we figured out what we want to eat. We grabbed a table that was number assigned and looked at the menu. Our ice tea came to the table and we requested sweetener. We were given one packet of sweetener. We had to request more. Same with the salt and Parmesan and red peppers. There are so many places that have these condiments readily available again so this just seems like a hassle. It took a long time to get some thing when we asked for it as we weren't really being waited on. We never even received our second iced tea. I felt like we were just getting takeout at Taco Bell. The food came on paper plates which was not very good for the spaghetti dish we ordered because of the sauce made it all soft and squishy. The spaghetti had literally zero seasoning. The noodles were cooked OK but I am telling you it was straight up canned tomato sauce. We ordered a chicken pizza that absolutely looks phenomenal but the bite was horrible. We didn't even eat a full slice between the two of us. The chicken was so dry that it was hard. The crust was chewy and not flavorful. At the end of the meal someone came by and asked if we needed boxes and we said no. You could tell there was a ton of food still left on the table and no one asked if anything was wrong or offered any type of concern. Since we had to pre-pay before we sat down at our table we just got up and left. No one said anything on the way out and we passed by three staff. We were extremely disappointed in this experience and we will not be returning to it.

Been going downhill quality wise for years. We decided to give this place another chance and googled to see if they still had a happy hour. They still have it up on their website but apparently it's no longer available. It's what we get for doing our research online and not calling ahead https://www.amalfisrestaurant.com/pdf/happyhour-menu.pdf

Disappointed they didn't have the dining room open. Our experience wasn't great. We were with another couple. Their food arrived. Ours did not. Ours took another 20 minutes. I ordered a beer at the counter for hubby. They gave me a lager, not the IPA I ordered. We sat outside. Lovely space but the dining experience fell flat. I understand why you can't have beverages in glassware. But serving the entire meal on paper plates? My $9 salad would have been so much better on a chilled plate. The pizza sizes are smaller, as well. I've been coming here for too many years to count. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here in 1990. All these years I've raved about Almalfi's being our top three pizza places. Sadly, I can't say that anymore. I miss the inside ambience - the dark dining space with cozy booths. Amalfis has changed so much. We won't be back.

I had a couple girlfriends in town and we wanted to catch up. We were craving Italian so I suggested Amalfi's. In the past I had heard nothing but great things. On my way from the parking lot that is behind the restaurant I noticed they have a large outdoor seating area with picnic tables. Once inside there was a sign that said "Dining room is closed". I stood and waited and a guy appeared and said that we would need to sit in the bar area called "One Love". So I grabbed a high top for 4. My friends arrived at 6:05. 2 of us ordered the carbonara and the other the lasagne, $20 each. The waitress said that the salads were large enough and shareable for 2 so we ordered one for $9.75. We just had ice tea and diet coke, $4 each. The salad arrived in a cardboard/take out bowl and it was just a little bit larger than what most places call a side salad so only large enough for 1 person. The ice tea was watered down. I kid you not.... we waited for our pasta for 55 minutes. First the waitress said it was on it's way at the 20 minute mark and then at the 40 minute mark said that the kitchen had been working on a catering order and overcooked our meals so they were re-making them. She then slapped some paper plates and paper napkins on our table. Finally the food came and the pasta's were good. They came with a piece of grilled buttered toast that was supposed to be garlic toast per our waitress. We received the check and not even a "sorry". Everything was full price. No discount offer was given. And we were not even offered something to snack on such as another salad/appetizer. I do not know what has happened to this place..... so sad for the Italian community as well. They need to revise their website. The place is nothing what it used to be...no more class act here. It is more like a bar with paper plates and some even had paper cups. So sad that one of Portland's Landmarks has bit the dust. :(

super clean family friendly atmosphere and friendly staff. I love the attached store and they have a nice wine selection. Love being able to support a business that has been in the community a long time and one of the few black owned sit down restaurants as well. Very cute atmosphere and reasonable pricing for the selection.

I will go back for the music. It was amazing. I think there needs to be more food for vegetarians so they can expand the business. Please bring back glasses if bottled wine is ordered.

Over priced Under seasoned No service to speak of Low quality everything Would have a better experience at a PPS cafeteria on pizza/spaghetti day Apathetic staff Same crappy booths from 1980s Did I forget something? Oh yeah, been going there since 1976. Use to be amazing now it rivals Little Caesars. So sad, how the mighty have fallen

The service was terrible!!! Our waiter had no clue what he was doing and seemed like he needed some more training on waiting tables. They were very short staffed and they were not super friendly or welcoming. We waited 45 MINUTES for our food. Would not go back.

Very expensive for mediocre food. The meat sauce tasted like spaghetti-o's. Chicken parmesan had no flavor. Bathrooms had an awful chlorine/bleach smell that made me dizzy. The staff were very nice tho.

Amalfi's was once a neighborhood go-to when one wanted great Italian food. The ambience and service were superb. Now it is a slightly sad version without the buzz, no service to be found and a pared-down, overpriced menu. Would hate to see this place close, but that's what happens corners are cut.

quiet and clean! Lots of parking space...great drinks and food! The food came out quickly...the ambience was nice too!

I really don't like to give a poor review of a neighborhood restaurant that's been here forever, but I am so disappointed. Super high noise level, overcooked pasta, meat sauce with little meat, but the beers were cold and the servers were nice and attentive. I live in the neighborhood and I've tried to like this place for the last 10 years, but always seem to strike out. Disappointing.

The menu has been reduced down, my daughter's favorite item was removed from the menu, which was the pesto chicken calzone. The food did not taste as good as it has in the past, leading me to believe that they changed some of the recipes. Last, we do not like the new ordering system. Sit down at the table, look at the menu, then get up and go to the counter to order, hoping you remember what everyone wanted. We will not be back.

Quality of food and service here have been lacking for several years. Maybe there was a change in ownership? Not sure. Certainly used to be better.

This place used to be amazing. Now it's crap. The food is good but that can't make up for everything else. You have to order from your phone. The QR code is on a glass brick on the table. The glass brick was filthy disgusting. We got our salads before we even got water. The lack of service ruined the whole experience for us. We were there celebrating Valentine's Day early and it felt like we were out to a very expensive lunch. Ambiance and great service are no longer a top priority for this restaurant. Unless you like bad service at a high price I'd go somewhere else. I used to love this place, extremely disappointed!

What happened? This was one of the best pizza places in Portland. Now I think that Domino's is better.

First time visiting this restaurant and likely the last. The outdoor seating and live music were great. Ordered via the QR code, so the only service was them bringing my food & drink to me. I bussed my own table. The green salad and cocktail were good. The pizza was on par with a frozen DiGiorno... although I think the DiGiorno might be better.

My dining experience was an experience. As soon as I got to Amalfi's and was seated, I noticed the tables (yes, more than one) were covered in crumbs. My party and I had to clean the table ourselves. Aside from the cleanliness of the tables, my sister ordered a drink on the app that never showed up. Yet my drink arrived in 5 minutes. After 40 minutes of waiting we asked where her drink was. We were told the drink never went through on the app even though we had proof of it being ordered. For my drink, I ordered a a Pinot Grigio. I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I know a water goblet when I see one. My wine was served in a water goblet with no room for aeration. Very dissatisfied, especially since my glass was dirty! I was also informed this was a black owned restaurant, however I didn't see any black staff. As a black women, when I go to an advertised black owned restaurant I expect to see my people. As an Italian restaurant, I expect there have bread while we're waiting for food. Unfortunately that was not the case here. My party and I waited over an hour for our food to arrive, and only 4 other small parties were in the restaurant. Parties arrived after us, received their food and left before we received our food! It seemed they weren't looking at our order and didn't start cooking until we complained after waiting for an hour. And when we did get the food, it was flavorless and bland. Not made with love. I'm not a chef, but my oatmeal is more flavorful than the food served at Amalfi's. I would NOT recommend this restaurant if you value your time and enjoy a dining experience. The food was horrible. The only good thing was complimentary blueberry & lemon cake (delicious)

We've been customers for 26 years UNTIL today! Normally I might give this establishment at worse - a 3 star. Today, we made the mistake of doing a to-go-order with Amalfi's that they screwed so I had to make a second trip. We've moved from their neighborhood so it wasn't a short drive the first time - let alone having to make a 2nd. At their to-go counter I ask for the rest of our missing order. They had some of our order but they were STILL missing the extra sauce we ordered. We MADE SURE this was clear the first time. Ot was now almost ten minutes waiting with no other customers in their restaurant. Some gal that already had an attitude finally brought the sauce out when I ask, exactly: "how about a tiramisu dessert for having to make a second trip? She copped MORE attitude saying: "I'm already giving you the sauce." I said... WE PAID for the sauce - so what about a dessert? She ignored me. I hate the next asinine response she gave because it's nothing but a cop out- with attitude. She says.... "that's not very nice." All I asked for was a dessert for the inconvenience of having to make a 2nd trip. I tell her that her response is indicative of her complete lack of understanding of what customer service is and I would just contact the manager or owner. So. ONE: they screwed up the order - not the customer. TWO: They took NO ownership of their mistake. THREE: THEN - they made NO effort to make the situation better. This is their customer service?!!? Don't blame a pandemic. Don't blame a customer and lose the attitude!! We will NOT be back! Amalfi's - you lost a 26 year customer.

Tried Almalfi's for the first time since the global pandemic. It's really different & not what we expected but we still enjoyed ourselves. My husband grew up going to Almalfi's & so I've been going there for the last 25 years. We love the family dinners where you get salad, entree, bread & a cup of spumoni ice cream. My mum is visiting & so we talked it up, only to be surprised that it's no longer offered. Ha! The menu is pared down so they no longer offer dessert & everything is now a la carte. Entrees come with bread but no longer a salad, so you'll need to order a salad separately. They use nice thick compostable paper "dishes" with real utensils. The outdoor seating is nice & covered. Music was fun.

The menu got shorter and my husband got his pizza screwed up 3 times yesterday. The pizza family got was under cooked and it took them 3 tries to get my husband pizza right.

Their ordering system sucks, nothing works properly, places that have done this deserve to lose business, winr be back!!!!!

Decided to try this location for a birthday dinner and I really loved it. They have a ton of outdoor seating and they just recently started doing live music. Their staff was wonderful and super attentive. They have taken a large portion of their parking lot taken over by outdoor seating. We tried their Caesar salad, chicken parm, lemon berry marscapone cake and the Miss Parker Miss Parker drink, unfortunately I have very few photos because I shuffled it down The Caesar salad was super flavorful, really large and we ended up sharing it between two of us. The chicken parm was fantastic. Crispy but only one side was breaded which kept it still light unlike other chicken parm I've had in the past. I would absolutely order it again. The lemon berry marscapone cake was decadent! The lemon flavor was on the berries so when you got a bite it was sharp and tangy but good. The Miss Parker was soooo good. It was light, refreshing and so delicious. I would highly recommend trying it.

I want to make it clear. I had order a calzone a chianti and a beer. After i was there for literally one hour and twenty-five minutes, l went to the counter to cancel my food that had never arrived. The beer and wine in a Plastic cup was good though.

Pizza Week Review: 7 of 10 consecutive pizza slices I want to start off saying, I am no professional... I did eat 10 different companies slices on one day, one after another... so yeah... With that said, I am unhappy with (2) things here... first off, it's a 2 dollar pizza slice, let us get it to go... let your pizza do the talking and I am sure you will be having repeat customers. Next I will say the crust was not a crust I would have hoped for, it is evident that this is a restaurant and not a pizza place, but I think that we should have solid crust if you are a contender. Where I am happy was the pizza was hot, fresh, and had a good taste to it. It was another odd one with some green shredded vegetable on top, I think pizza places are taking the basil, arugula, and the like and trying to reinvent the wheel. I do not like this, I do not like this Sam I am, I do not like it on a pizza, I don not like it... The venue was very nice, the outside had some decorative fire tables, and the kids went nuts for that. the hosts and wait staff were very nice, though the waitress had no idea that people need napkins, I kept hearing each table ask for napkins and things like silverware... but maybe she was spread thin, or maybe this was something that was supposed to be done by another employee. I would like to come check this out for a happy hour or a meal, but I would not go for the pizza again.

We ordered for delivery thru one of the big guys because it's a long holiday weekend and being out in the muck didn't sound palatable. We ordered 2 pizzas one with just onions (I know, yuck) and got all olives. While not totally horrible, it wasn't what we ordered. 1 star strike. The second pizza was piled with the three toppings we ordered and was easy on the palette. The sauce is rather sweet and gloppy (is that a word), the crust was crunchy, not soft, and reminded me of pizza from my home state of Missouri. A woman owned business making it thru the pandemic and still has an amazing menu, albeit dumbed down a bit due to staffing and food shortages I'm sure. We were pleased with what we got and didn't complain about the olive pizza. The prices were a bit steep for the large pizza, but we expected to pay more with delivery. I think 4 stars is fair. Had we gotten what we ordered I would have given them a 5 even without an in person visit. I was going to post pictures but we were hungry. Oh yeah the best part was we got our order in 45 mins on a Friday night, we'll played Amalfis!

Fantastic local restaurant! Amazing staff, delicious food, and chill atmosphere! Thank you!

Pros: excellent service, calm ambience, generous portions and includes soup or salad, garlic bread and several scoops of spumoni. Cons: pork as only meat option, pork base in minestrone soup, which was the only soup option available.

Update: Talked with the manager the next day and she refunded our money for our entire dinner and apologized for our experience. I appreciated her response I will likely try this place again because of her response.

My family has been dining at Amalfi's for 50 years. To see it degrade into a third-rate dive is sad. We went to Amalfi's for an important family event. The dinning room was closed. we were forced to sit in the bar. Our water was served to us in paper cups. The venue is a shell of the past. None of our favorite dishes were on the menu. Loud music inappropriate for the age of the customers blared at us. The food tasted like high school school cafeteria food. They blamed their problems on "lack of staffing", but when I went to pay my bill the "back of house" had shoulder to shoulder young people shuffling around accomplishing nothing. Amalfi's needs Adult Professional Management or it will fail.

Disclaimer: I came in on a day they were only serving salad,Pizza, and bread. This place is rather elegant from the outside, and the interior is what you would expect from Portland. "Modern" my order consisted of 3 salads, 3 pizzas, garlic cheese bread, and a "Carafe" of margarita, shared among four people. The good: the pizza is definitely brick oven, condiments are of good quality. We were checked on about six times over the course of 30 minutes. The margarita was well mixed and potent for what it was The salads were assembled well The Bad: Paper and plastic cutlery, at a whopping price tag of $150 is rather inexcusable. Although it could have been due to the heat warning, it's my first time here. The Carafe of margarita was jam packed with ice as well as my glasses, causing the carafe to only fill three drinks. It is advertised to fill 4-5 glasses, this was not the case. $10 a glass isn't unfounded for mixed drinks in Portland, but the excess of ice was a serious turn off. When I brought this to their attention I was told "I can't garnish the glasses without Ice" the "garnish" was a lime slice, and I didn't try to argue or comprehend how it would be impossible to do without ice. Marinara was thin. Takeaway: if you've got disposable income and you're looking for some decent pizza and a drink, it's not bad, but it's nothing special.
