L'unico Alimentari

"L’Unico Alimentari was renowned for its exceptional pasta." - Eater Staff

"L’Unico was a breakout hit food cart of 2020, with its cart-made pastas and exceptional brunch fare. Now, it’s gone, within days of its first anniversary. In March of 2020, a food cart opened specializing in Italian snacks and sandwiches... L’Unico — owned by Portland native Caitlyn Hamel-Spencer and Italian chef Lanfranco Paliotti — hit the radar of Portland diners... Despite its growing fame, Paliotti and Hamel-Spencer announced Sunday that the cart had closed for good... The cart’s simple carbonara, made with a bucatini for the brunch menu, was one of the city’s finest, and the cart’s specials often involved dazzling in-season produce and pristine seafood... Michael Russell at the Oregonian wrote that the cart’s pastas as 'could hold their own against all but a handful of Portland’s best restaurants,' and Portland Monthly’s Katherine Chew Hamilton described the cart’s adored Dungeness-burrata tonnarelli as 'simple yet indulgent, humble but with a touch of New York fine dining glamour.'" - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"L’Unico is an Italian food cart that has gained attention for its remarkable pasta offerings." - Eater Staff

"L’Unico is a new food cart making some of the city’s best pasta. On Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the cart serves things like breakfast carbonara, prosciutto eggs Benedict, and sausage-topped polenta with a gooey poached egg." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
