My wife and I ate here while on a recent two-day trip to Portland.
My wife ordered the chef's prix fix menu, which came with special wines for the first and second course. I had the spicy saugage and tomato soup (dynamite!) and the seared duck breast (also fantastic).
My wife's first course was an exquisite pumpkin gnocchi in a brown butter sauce. The waitress brought out the wrong fish for my wife's second course. She apologised, and promised to return shortly with the right dish. After a few minutes, she came out with some delicious salmon.
At the end of the meal, we were shocked to see the bill: the restaurant had taken off a number of charges to compensate for the mistaken dish. In fact, they charged us about half of what they should have.
In short, the food and service couldn't have been better. I highly recommend Iorio.
Pros: great food and service
Cons: a bit noisy
