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- Michelle H.October 10, 2013Consistently some of the best food in the city. I am never, ever disappointed. Get the lobster pasta to share and any entree with scallops.
Irena BJuly 28, 2012Artichokes 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.
Marred Jones-SellickMay 26, 2013One of the the best Italian restaurants I have ever been too. Great service, friendly ambiance, and excellent food.
M. ScottNovember 22, 2022Expensive but really amazing Italian food. Butterscotch pudding was so light and yummy- sabrinawcJuly 14, 2013You must try their Agnolotti ... Who knew corn and mascarpone could be such a lovely combo!
Lisa BrockMay 30, 2010On 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.
Justin DuranoFebruary 11, 2013If you don't know what to get, order a handful of small dishes and a pizza. Group of 2 or more, of course.
Portland MonthlyJune 30, 2010A sophisticated Italian restaurant alights on Sellwood’s main drag and attracts an unlikely crowd of lively Portland diners. Read more
Arthur MitchellOctober 9, 2021Below 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.
Fara GrimJuly 25, 2013Overpriced and horrible service. Food was good but not enough to outweigh the negatives!

"The best clam starter in town! Great vino list and the bartender delivers heavy pours as well. Cioppino and tiramisu are also a couple of my faves on the menu."
