Great space, relaxed & cosy, lovely staff and delicious freshly made food! The pasta portions could do with being bigger per serve vs the price. I'd be happy to eat there again tho ☺️
Start with focaccia and some polpette . Add some wine . And enjoy a half pasta per person, being sure to share (I had the pappardelle with rabbit , which was great). Perfect, simple meal.
Flavors are one-note and service is inattentive and cold. Skip the appetizers and opt for the veg sides. Leeks are too salty and buttery but still tasty. Hardly the experience it was made out to be.
Grab a few half orders of the many lovely pastas and some wine and you’re in for a treat. the lamb radiatori was a highlight.
I’m not a big fan of pasta in general but the olive focaccia , cauliflower polpette , and octopus salad were likely the best I’ve ever had.
Fantastic. Lovely atmosphere. Courteous waitress . I highly recommend the coffee with your dessert .
Love the small bites concept and all the veggies were incredible
The cappelletti in brodo is amazing!
I had the lunch special and loved the tagliatelle
Really good pasta and antipasti . A half order of pasta is pretty much all but the hungriest need - full plates are better for sharing.
Best time to go is between 2 and 5. Lunch and dinner there's a helluva wait.
Great pesto , beef and pork raghu, and excellent desserts all around. Also good very reasonably priced wines .
Put your name in and then go over to June for a few cocktails . It's worth the wait.
Def start with some antipasti (arancino or polpette ), octopus salad , and half order of a pasta .
The rabbit pasta is incredible!
The food was good, but the portions are quite small for the price. The panacotta was the best I've had. Would go back just for that.
great service. good meal. cute space.
Spaghetti w/garlic and hot peppers was good but fettuccini w/onion & pecorino was better. Salads and dessert was meh.
Excellent duck ragu .
The fig and goat cheese is REALLY good.

One of my fave Italian spots in Portland, I always end up getting the cavatelli - so hearty and tasty. Great service also! - Nia Groce
This shop is chill and makes outstanding espresso drinks. One of the more laid-back places in PDX. Best of all, it's down the street from Screen Door, one of the best brunch places in Portland. - Luke Bornheimer

Mac n cheese and the Brie sandwich. Both are so good and the portion sizes are very appropriate (not too big). - Annie Chiu
