Best Italian Restaurants in Rockcreek

Serrato delivered a perfect evening with friends-elegant ambiance, exceptional service, and incredible food. The chille shrimp was divine and dessert the ideal finale. A truly unforgettable dining experience!

My husband and I come here about once every couple of months because the food is fantastic, and all the staff are great, especially Jemma! The atmosphere is perfect for a moderately fancy, but fun and sultry food experience. This is a go-to date night spot!

Nostrana delivers on all fronts: great service, a beautiful interior, and fantastic food from beginning to end. We went for our anniversary and were very satisfied!

They had me at Focaccia! This restaurant is a total gem. Wonderful intimate ambiance, great staff, nice to see the chefs working away in the open kitchen. The food will keep you coming back - I know I will! I visited with a friend and we shared focaccia bread and three dishes and then each had a dessert - so perfect!!! Top notch fresh ingredients make the difference here - Yum!

Considering how many exceptional restaurants there are in the Portland area, it's a bit unusual that we choose to go to Mingo so often, but dinners like the one we enjoyed last Friday night are exactly why we do. It literally was one of the best meals, and best dining experiences, we've had in quite some time. As usual, the staff were friendly and approachable, even when informing us that the party ahead of us at our table was taking longer than they expected to finish up. So Michael, the owner, found a couple of seats at the bar took our drink order, which we enjoyed while we waited for our table. The wait was less than 10 minutes and no big deal...it was a busy Friday night during the holidays after all. When we were seated, it didn't take long for our server. Suzie, to come over, tell us about the menu specials for the evening and recommend what turned out to be a lovely bottle of red wine that we had with dinner. We split a crab cake appetizer and a Mingo (Caesar) salad and both were fresh and delicious. My wife ordered the daily ravioli dish and I selected cioppino, and we were both very happy with our entrees. The cioppino was packed with seafood in a delicious broth...I would definitely get it again. The entire place had a festive vibe to it, with a solid "hum" of conversation but it wasn't so loud as to make it difficult for us to talk with each other and with Suzie. It was an absolutely lovely evening from start to finish.
