Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Pearl District

I like the open kitchen where you can watch your food being made. All the pasta dishes we ordered were delicious. They make their pastas and bread in house. I wasn’t a fan for the olive oil that came with focaccia, but the bread was soft and yummy. Oysters were fresh. The plating was very nice. I definitely will go back and also recommend this place to all my friends. 

Born into an Italian family, we wanted to experience an authentic meal. My wife and I were in town visiting our son for a few days and we said let's go eat at Mama Mia Trattoria. To summarize our meal and experience, the ambiance was perfect, the food was over the top and the ingredients were fresh, perfectly cooked, and tasty. The value of what one pays for this restaurant is a great deal. We will be back and Gracie!

I cannot recommend this place enough! The food was outstanding. And that includes Portland restaurants. Best meal I’ve had all year. The setting and the ambience of the restaurant is warm, cute and vintage and just perfect. Don and his wife serve the food to the table with each course and tell you what to expect. It was exceptional. You won’t regret paying a visit to Don’s.

This is a regular spot for my friends and I. It’s fabulous!
