The best from a business or family dinner to that special 1! 9/24/2009

Any time it's my pic for fine Italian dinning Iorio's is first on the lists. Especially if I wish to chat softly instead of competing with the din of a noisy kitchen or a bustling bar. It always spic-n-span, wonderful servers, fine food and drink... None match for such reasonable prices. Try the Ravioli, or the fresh catch. Pros: Terrific menu, easy location, and truly a comfortable atm Cons: Small Bar... more

Gluten free-ers EAT HERE 6/26/2009

First of all, I should have ate here a long time ago, GF or not. The wait staff and chef were so friendly and wonderful! I mentioned I was GF (knowing I would settle for a salad and wheatless entree), but they totally had a GF pasta handmade AND the best GF calamari. Chris, the chef, was gracious enough to make sure to let me know to call next time so he would have something GF prepared. I have had a hard time eating out at places and this was the best experience I've had since being GF 2 years ago! Amazing staff, great food and flourless chocolate cake... heaven.... Pros: Totally accomodating to GF peeps more

Great food and staff 4/27/2009

Went there on Saturday for the first time. Although, we had reservations, we had to wait over an hour for our table. No fault of the restaurant, but due to campers that we thought would never leave! Anyway, at first I was annoyed and had come to the conclusion that it was going to be our first and LAST time there. But then they offered us wine on the house as we waited and then when we finally sat down they proceed to give us an appetizer on the house too. So even though the wait was terrible, our meal was amazing and the service was top notch. Pros: food Cons: campers more

Ok food, could be better. 4/23/2009

We went here last week for dinner with our 2 young kids. We ordered a kids spagetti and meatballs dish for them to share. The noodles lacked sauce and the meatballs were too spicy for my kids to eat. My husband's lamb ragout was pretty good but salty. I did like my fish dish but it didn't really fill me. But then again i am a big eater...in a thin body might I add. We ordered their calamari which is suppose to have been voted best calarmari in Portland by Oregonian. But it was just ok. I've tried many way better at other places. Overall we won't be back. The food, especially our kids meal just didn't do it for us. Pros: Some good dishes. Cons: Some bad-ok dishes. more

Excellent catering, beautiful presentation, awesome Staff! 12/2/2008

We recently held a party in the ballroom above Iorio, and had Iorio cater the event. The attention to detail, menu, decor, and service was beyond perfect. The people who own this restaurant truly care about serving others. I heard they are celebrating their 3rd anniversary of business in December. Perhaps a congratulations is in order, from our town, Portland. Very few restaurants have made it past one year on the lower East Side. Thank you for bringing your home and your love for cooking and serving others into the neighborhood! The friends and family of Inner SE thank you Hilary and Chris! Salut! Very Grateful more

Good Food 10/2/2008

I have known chef Chris for some time now. His restaurant serves great food and he serves a lot of fresh, local selections. I only wish he was open all the time because I have showed up on days/times Iorio is closes. more

Great Ambiance 9/6/2008

My husband and I visited Iorio restaurant for our fourth wedding anniversary, and was pleased with how great our experience was! Upon arrival, we were given the best seat in the house! Our server was kind and up for small talk. She answered all our questions patiently. Our meals were great. Nothing beats home-made pasta! We couldn't have made a better choice for dinner that night! more
