   Hands down the best dining experience we’ve had in Portland in the almost 30 years we’ve lived here. Fantastic food, sublime service, didn’t have a bad dish and believe me, we had many, many dishes! 5 star!!

   Had a fabulous brunch today. Everything we ate was fantastic. We had the ricotta donuts, the eggs in purgatory, polenta and poached eggs, arancini, and the croqué monsieur and it was all incredible. They also make a mean espresso martini and mezcal Bloody Mary. The service was wonderful. Will definitely be coming back!

   Went here with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. Overall I was very impressed. Food and drinks are fantastic, Service was perfect. It’s a small space and felt a little cramped, but otherwise ambiance is nice. I’m still thinking about those warm olives and focaccia bread… I’ll definitely be back!

   The food was fantastic. Service was excellent. We came here for brunch and returned for dinner and both times have been excellent food and service. The only negative is when the waiter tells you that the way they do things there is family style and that everything is meant to be shared, and that each person should order 4 to 5 menu items and then share them. And that they stagger the arrival of the items. I don’t think anyone likes to be told that they have to share. Why don’t you let the people that are ordering and paying for the food decide if they’d like to share? 🤔 Also, we see the staggering of the food more a convenience for the kitchen. The food arrived willy-nilly with no rhyme or reason. It was suggested we order 4 to 5 menu items PER person to share?! Thank God we didn’t listen. My husband and I ordered a total of 3 items-one pork chop, side of polenta and one appetizer of Buratto and it was more than enough for our dinner. Our friends ordered the pork chop and 2 other sides/starters and that was plenty for them too. The place was full probably because the food is delicious, but I just think dictating sharing is very presumptuous and suggesting 4-5 menu items per person🤪🤪. Go here- make reservations for sure. But don’t listen to the waiter about sharing unless you want to and be prepared for the food to come out erratically😊 get the garlic focaccia bread!! Yum

    Wonderful meal top to bottom. Focacci is a must, though I wish it were larger. Pork chop and gnocchi were amazing. Loved the espresso martini and the mezcal cocktail, too. Our server was attentive and helpful in selecting nearly everything we ordered. Definitely coming back.
