Grassa

I'm a skeptic until my first by and HOLY ???? is the pasta awesome here. Best dish I've ever had...get the Carbonara and you'll be fulfilled in your pasta life ☑️

Gigantic and cheap bowls of handmade pasta without pretension. Always try the Chicken Radiatore, which is an updated chicken cacciatore , complete with crispy chicken skin adornments.

Easily the best Italian food that you will taste in Portland and possibly anywhere else. Go for the Rigatoni Pork Ragu . Please. Also loved the Carbonara , Squid Ink & Pesto dishes. -London 13yr

Easily the best pasta I’ve had outside of Europe. I love the carbonara and the ragu , but you can’t go wrong. Grab a beer from the bar next door or Lardo via the interconnected passages.

Casual setting, order at front, and communal style seatings. The food tastes fab & dishes are of reasonable size. You’d likely have leftover if you’re a smaller eater like myself. Highly recommend

Lardo and Grassa share the same kitchen, but they really share nothing else in common. Best pasta dishes you could ask for, well-priced cocktails and a collection of record albums to die for.

Order at least one dish per person, then ask for a couple plates and share the delicious bounty. It's a great way to try multiple dishes, since picking just one is really, really hard!

The best pasta in Portland by far. Rivals some of the best pasta I've had in Italy. The Aglio e Olio is to die for

The #butternutsquash pasta !!!! Had a myriad of delightful flavors - an instant classic dish. #sage ???? Garlic bread , cocktails too.

Came in for lunch and the bright space is beautifully lit. Grilled chicken piccata was light and the meat, tender, with some crispy skin to add some crunch to the clean dish.

Please do yourself a favor and start with the Porkbelly Mac n' Cheese everything is excellent but you need to try possibly the best version of this classic.

Squid Ink pasta was amazing as was the Carbonara . Italian "margarita " was tart and refreshing. The shaved zucchini was a nice light ap. Open table seating with some facing kitchen and three booths .

Great noodles , I got the brussels sprouts too which was super delicious!

Definitely grab a seat at the bar--it's so fun to watch the kitchen in action. Fantastic pasta and calamari !

Changes the nature of pasta in Portland. Like a small, family Florentine restaurant , but in an updated Portland space. Tried three pastas and three apps - all were spectacular!

You just can't miss the Brussels sprouts . The best I've ever had. If you are in grassa don't leave until you have the brussel sprouts .

You don't realize how much better fresh pasta tastes until you've had it here. Carbonara and frito misto were both amazing

Best pasta I've ever had. Even simple dishes (like spaghetti aglio olio ) are outta this world

One of my favorite spots for pasta downtown. Cool spot with a variety of pasta dishes that will fill you up. Also, get garlic bread .

Best place in downtown to have Pasta ! Delicious handmade pasta and the flavors are awesome. Get an Italian wine with your pasta .

Cozy place and nice atmosphere inside,their pasta so delicious,the service was great,good location,highly recommend

Ordered takeout and still tasty. I really liked the truffle cacio e pepe and papperdale. Great pasta texture ????

Cool concept. Order meals at the counter then they are brought to you. Very good pasta dishes for the price.

the homemade noodles are fantastic. loved the pomodoro and the cacio e pepe

Tonarelli with sand dabs is delightfully light and flavorful. Salsa verde rocks it! Spinning vintage albums makes atmosphere lively and unique.

Pasta is pretty much the only thing they serve but it is soo good. They also play vinyl records for their music .

Carbonara for sure. Can’t be beat. Great prices and delicious.

Bucatini Alla Zucca is probably one of the best pastas ever. Rustic , savory, a little crunch. OMG

The Cesar salad are so good, add pork belly or pancetta for a filling and delicious lunch

Easily the best pasta I've ever had outside of Europe.

Amazing hand made pasta . try the one with lamb meatball and smoked yoghurt .

The lasagna and macaroni & cheese are amazing! I love the atmosphere and the quick service .

A gem! Amazing pasta . Loved ragu + garlic bread . Probably wouldn’t get meatballs again.

Simple and delicious homemade pasta . Where has this been all my life? The Bucatini is especially delightful.

Cacio e pepe is oily, salty, and one-note in flavor. At least the dish looks pretty... Spaghetti 'aglio olio ' is extremely garlicky and reminds one of leftover ramen .

Amazing handmade pasta . The carbonara was just insane!

Amazing pasta . Went with the hostess ' recommendation and was extremely thrilled with my choice. Ask if unsure :)

Squid ink pasta , flexible seating, good natural light

Not for advertising but this is the real taste of Italy... (home made pasta )

Cacio e pepe is great for the price, and online ordering / outdoor pickup works great

There is a booth positioned next to the kitchen so you can watch stuff being made

seriously some of the best pasta i've had. go for the pomodoro or the ox tail .

One of my favorites, the pasta carbonara is amazing. Fresh made pasta so good.

Pasta options - some are staples and some seasonal. Try everything

Always the highlight of my memory in Portland.

Everything we tried was amazing, and you can also get drinks next door at Lardo !

Beautifully cooked, flavoursome pasta . More of a quick bite to eat than a sit down meal.

Fresh pasta dishes in unique combinations. Definitely not your traditional Italian joint.

The carbonara was delicious! Fast service .

Please bring back the cavatelli with crispy chicken skin . Also, add on some meatballs and garlic bread .
