Maglia Rosa

We just had lunch here this afternoon and it was incredible! We all agreed it is easily one of the best meals we've had in Portland. Each dish is curated with excellent ingredients and the flavor combinations are divine. We got 2 apps, 4 mains, and 2 desserts, and split them all, and although I was bursting at the seems by the end, I'm so glad we got to try so many dishes. I should have taken a picture of the menu to reference since it changes often, but I highly recommend the focaccia, mushroom crepes, lasagna, and you have to try both the flourless torta and canoli pie for dessert - you will not be disappointed! Can't wait to come back for dinner!

We just had lunch at Maglia Rosa and it was great. The house-made focaccia was delicious and the arancini some of the best that we've had since Sicily. Fresh beer on tap. An excellent outdoor space. A sweet little market for picking up things Italian. We'll be back.

Had a lovely time stopping in for lunch. Had the pear and burrata appetizer (photo is after I ate half), creamy mushroom pasta and chocolate torte. Everything was really yummy, flavors were intense and thoughtful. Got "the Don" whiskey (pomegranate juice?) cocktail and that was also amazing. Our server Saturday was super friendly.

I was blessed and lucky enough to live in Rome for a couple years. I struggle with Italian food in America ever since then. I judge any Italian restaurant I go to buy their Bolognese in this place do not disappoint. It was for sure the best Bolognese I've had in a restaurant and outside of my own Kitchen in a very long time!

Our party of three absolutely loved our meal at Maglia Rosa. The food was so tasty and fresh and the staff is very friendly. We highly recommend and can’t wait to go back! Thank you!

You should go here!! The vinaigrette on the Radicchio salad was delicious, the star of the show was Mint Tagliatelle. I will definitely be returning!

Mixed review. The focaccia was excellent but the main, the gnocchi which was explained as squash stuffed dumplings was anything but. The “dumplings” which were so soft they didn’t resemble any other dumplings I’ve ever had were stuffed with something white and mushy that was certainly not squash. However the orange wine which was recommended was delicious. Not sure I’ll be back.

Really cool Italian market/bar that just opened up on Division. They had a great wine selection, which is 40% off if you are just buying the bottle, but also would love the chance to try their menu and dine in. A good assortment of high quality ingredients and pastas. Apparently they will have a deli section too. I was greeted so kindly when I entered, great vibe, looking forward to returning soon.

From the minute we arrived, we were delighted! The outdoor seating is beautiful with shady plants and lights strung above, with heaters for the cooler days ahead! We were greeted warmly and quickly placed our orders before settling in at our covered patio table. Cold frosty drinks were delivered quickly and with a smile, followed shortly by food that was not just delicious - it is memorably good! Fluffy chewy focaccia and hearty perfectly seasoned minestrone did not disappoint. Even the side salads hit just right, but the star of the show was the Panino Bollito. Juicy, flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth braised beef on a perfect roll with an amazing, herby verde sauce and chili oil (which I could not get enough of) and accompanied by perfectly crispy housemade potato chips. I have dreamt of this sandwich. Can't wait to get back for another! We also bought a lasagne to bake at home and will definitely do that again, too. Get to Maglia Rosa PDX pronto! You'll start planning your return before you even leave!

We agree with some others that the model feels a bit odd to have candles and cloth napkins like a nice sit down restaurant but order at the counter. We and other behind us all missed the menus right inside the door. Then a wait person does come around to bring more water, take more drink orders or dessert. So finish off the atmosphere and let us sit down first and take our order. On to the food. The sugo was good but didn't have the depth of like Cibo but better than the last time I went to Three Doors Down. They explained why the pasta was softer than typical al dente because of the type of flour. It was nice they offered extra Parmesan and I would ask right away next time. I am very intrigued by the to go items too. My husband had the beef stew and it was good and with a nice rich sauce. They were very nice to substitute the mash for some more roasted veggies for him.

Verdict: someone involved has good taste, but ultimately this place tries for a level of esteem unbefitting its odd choices in quality and dining experience Pros + arancini was decent + braised pork was quite good (albeit rustic to the point of betraying its immodest price) + a ton of space (though even Bollywood couldn't quite wield command of it, so we'll see) + a market offering that shows promise Cons - lamb lasagna that was so obviously and painfully over-(re)heated as to be burnt to a literal crisp; a solid 1/3 was inedible, w/o much to be admired in the remaining 2/3 - counter service that read as rather vacant, only to be affirmed by the sparing table service that followed (e.g., "servers" not knowing the wine menu), all coalescing in a bizarre dining experience that I shouldn't think will scale well

Can't even lie, this braised beef sandwich has to be one of the best I've had in Portland. The bread was great and the beef was tender and flavorful. Fast service and cool looking space. I definitely want try more of their menu items.

Great experience at Maglia Rosa! I had the panzanella salad which was super fresh, crisp, and well seasoned. The zucchini ravioli was also a winner, delicate thin pasta filled with creamy cheese and roasted zuchs- love! Lots of wine options and a cool market with take home goods. Lasagna is also delicious, super crispy edges and idk how they get so many layers packed in there. The ordering is a bit weird. It kind of disrupts the flow of a nice sit down dinner with friends if you all have to get back up and wait in line for another glass of wine, leaving your food at the table. Just isn't the best set up in my opinion. But the restaurant is beautiful and I'll definitely be back! Overall a solid spot. Ooh and last thing - they have an amazing patio!

They just opened tonight - an amazing new addition to the neighborhood! They've done a great job transforming the old Bollywood spot. The patio is perfect for warm summer days, and the interior feels open and spacious. The gem salad was super refreshing, and all the pasta dishes were delicious. Service was excellent, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. We will be back!

Amazing food; everything is so fresh and tastes incredible. Entire family loved it, we hit up the shop on the way out (lots of pastas, sauces, special ingredients, soups, etc). We've been back a few x, and I've sent friends/family there. Great addition to Portland

Went to dinner with a couple of friends. The food was really nice, salads & mains. Ordered up at the counter and food was brought to our table. Service was prompt and friendly. The website needs a bit of work, menu at least, takeout orders. A casual friendly place. We will definitely be back.

Delicious Italian dishes at decent price. Awesome ambiance ... would appreciate a few more moderately priced wines but...

I would never recommend this place to anyone! They were microwaving their lasagna and who knows what else. The fish was so overcooked and bland. Uncreative dull menu all around! There are so many better options in Portland, I'd never give this place the time of day again. The only decent aspect of this place was the wide range of wine available. If I want good Italian ingredients, I'd go to Providore, not this wannabe Italian restauran/market

Just tried this new restaurant. Seems like they have worked out the kinks. Despite the counter service, all staff were attentive and present. The food was delicious and I'd go back.

I was excited for a new Italian restaurant but i was disappointed with my experience at Maglia Rosa. I tried the grilled albacore and thought the fish could be fresher. Very high prices for counter service. I hope this business improves but I'm reluctant to come back.

Fantastic food and service. I almost never leave reviews but we had such a wonderful experience. We came in late on a Saturday and had a great meal with super friendly service. It's counter service but you don't bus your own table, which felt like a dream in Portland. The market also seems like it has a bunch of great housemade items. Will definitely be coming back -- so happy they're in the neighborhood.

Maglia Rosa is an amazing new restaurant. Highly recommend. All the appetizers and entrees were outstanding. Will definitely be back.
