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.
Expensive but really amazing Italian food . Butterscotch pudding was so light and yummy
Corn ravioli with lobster is incredible!!!!
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.
Superb service and exceptional food!
The rabbit pasta and lamb one are delicious!!
Agnolotti - tagliatelle
Everything
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!
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 .
I prefer spaghetti
Ask about wines off the menu .
Overpriced and horrible service. Food was good but not enough to outweigh the negatives!
Come for the great food and impressive accompanying wine list. Come back for more Grandma Jean's, tiramisu, and the amazing neighborhood vibe - Zak Accuardi
The pizza alone is worth the price of admission. Great atmosphere and service. - Andy Wang
Love this spot. It's a win whether you come with a group and order a varied menu or post at the bar and vibe and sip on a Fight Kat. Dope staff all the way around as well. - Daren R
Great place. Nice atmosphere. Great desserts. Try the Dirty Shirley! - Carey Harbuck
