Gnocchi with Ox tail Sugo was comfort food all the way. As was the spaghetti with seafood . The house made salted Carmel gelato was delicate and paired perfectly with espresso :-) Overall - great dinner

Consistently some of the best food in the city . I am never, ever disappointed. Get the lobster pasta to share and any entree with scallops .

Artichokes were good, but too fried and oily. The part in the middle is best. Lobster pasta great...probably due to butter. Lamb pasta also good. Half portions are enough if you're getting appetizers .

One of the the best Italian restaurants I have ever been too. Great service, friendly ambiance, and excellent food.

The corn lobster ravioli is excellent

You must try their Agnolotti ... Who knew corn and mascarpone could be such a lovely combo!

On the current menu (may, 2010) you have to order the bruschetta trio and the roman style roasted baby artichokes with sea salt . You've never had artichokes like this before...unless you're Roman.

Always great food. Relaxing ambiance and top notch friendly staff .

If you don't know what to get, order a handful of small dishes and a pizza . Group of 2 or more, of course.

A sophisticated Italian restaurant alights on Sellwood’s main drag and attracts an unlikely crowd of lively Portland diners. Read more

Legit Italian food , and I'm Italian!

Arthur Mitchell

Below average food. Food came out lukewarm. Service was disjointed and slow, hence lukewarm food. The primi were really the pasta course of an Italian meal .

Jack Kuang

I prefer spaghetti

Cristie

Ask about wines off the menu .

Fara Grim

Overpriced and horrible service. Food was good but not enough to outweigh the negatives!
