64 dollars bought: a bottle of pinot grigio, bottle of sparkling pellegrino, salt cod bruschetta, fiddlehead, truffle oil macaroni and cheese, lobster and scallop canneloni, and tiramisu. We ate the meal at a leisurely pace, and hands down one of the best meals I have eaten in ages. Everything was thoughtfully presented and melted in your mouth. You are supporting area business as opposed to your local Olive Garden. Bread is foccacia type served with a side rich olive oil, freshly ground pepper and sea salt. Downtown Portland has many great restaurants to offer, but this is a fantastic date restaurant - and a place to bring the whole family! Treat yourself to the best Italian food in Portland.
Pros: creative menu, affordable wine list, great experience
Cons: parking in downtown is hard - but its worth the walk
