Really excellent food & service. Our granddaughter is a vegetarian and she had plenty of choices. The pinsa (a kind of pizza) were so good!! The service was especially thoughtful. I’m sorry, I forgot our server’s name but she deserves a special mention! We will return to Cafe Med next time we’re in Eugene. The parking, as noted, is limited!

Always love coming to Cibo, but this meal was exceptional! The server was great and the porcini ravioli was outstanding! Highly recommend dipping your polenta fries in olive oil, salt and pepper. Chef's Kiss!

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance of simplicity and authenticity, with warm, inviting decor that immediately sets the tone. The staff was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and impressively knowledgeable about every detail of the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations without being overbearing. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was prepared with precision, and the balance of flavors in each bite was both creative and refined. We started with the burrata and butter lettuce salad—both fresh, vibrant, and beautifully plated. For mains, the roasted pork chop was a standout: tender, juicy, and coated in a rich, flavorful glaze that brought everything together. The bouillabaisse was equally memorable—deeply flavorful with a generous portion of perfectly cooked seafood. From service to presentation to taste, this place hits every mark. We’ll definitely be back.

Since 2022, Tartuca has been a quintessential Pacific Northwest restaurant, contextualizing its hyper-local, farm-direct produce through an Italian lens on the active strip of Mississippi Avenue in North Portland. Inside Tartuca is a hip, bustling environment with an open kitchen, powered by a grooving soundtrack, house made pastas and focaccia, inventive composed dishes, and abundantly flowing wine from a tightly curated Italian list that exclusively features small, artisanal producers making wine naturally from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards. For those seeking a quieter experience, Tartuca's best kept secret is a cozy back patio open all year round. We can't wait to serve you!
