Went to Mama Mia Trattoria on a first date with someone from Hinge. Beautiful atmosphere, great food, accommodating service, great prices, with one of the best Happy Hour menus I've seen in Portland! Could not recommend more!

Everything about Tartuca was fantastic. As soon as you enter you are greeted warmly (the place is so intimate) by friendly staff. Our waiter was practically a sommelier, producing an astounding amount of knowledge about different vinos. The food was all delicious, plated carefully with care to visual presentation, and portioned right. The focaccia is a can't miss; light, tasty, and a perfect jump start to the palate. Every pasta dish ordered had its own spectacular standout flavor; you cannot go wrong! Shoutout to the bartender on his Lake Como Group Chat as well; a finely balanced cocktail that was SO smooth, your first sip made you want to put it away so you wouldn't dare finish it, that's how tasty it was. Thanks Tartuca for a magical dinner.

A great restaurant in a surprising location…strip mall. The food and atmosphere was outstanding. Service was outstanding not only from our server Malia but others as well. I had the special short rib and my husband the Italian sausage lasagne. Yum. Will definitely go back and try the pizza as it looked delicious on my dining neighbor’s table.

A night at the Red Room is the perfect urban escape! Sofia is an amazing cocktail craftsman. The staff is always lovely and the owner, Dave, is a social butterfly. It all makes for a wonderful night. Can't go wrong with thr prawns and focaccia bread. Yum.
