    Amazing food and fast service. The only negative was that it was so loud that it was difficult to have a conversation or hear the server when they were explaining our dishes. Still would definitely come back.

    Love the new menu for May! So many great things to choose from. The Rigatoni is so well (hand)made and tasty. Olives and Focaccia are a fabulous starter with their amazing drinks/wine and the Meatballs are by FAR, the best we've had anywhere in Portland. We could live off those dishes...yum! The staff is wonderful and make the experience a great one for us. Its out go-to place several times a month!

    We were invited back by the manager after a not so pleasant experience a while ago. This time everything was perfect. The food and wine were excellent and the service was great. So sad that it is closing soon.
