Excellent starters and salads. The Mingo Salad is not to be missed. The gnocchi is fantastic (polenta-based instead of the typical potato version). I've tried several other dishes and have yet to find even a mediocre entree. Everything is first rate and the staff is very accomodating. Give the kitchen table a try if you want to see how it's done. The chefs are friendly and will answer questions. While the ambience is lively, we find it neither pretentious nor brash (as indicated in another review here). Overall, this is our favorite Italian restaurant in Portland and highly recommend it.
Pros: Fantastic Food, Excellent Service, Pleasant Ambience
Cons: Sparse Street Parking
