I am simple and to the point. Coming from a NYC Italian **** background cooking w/the best and power players on the Food Network back in the 90's I know what I am talking about. You enter into a red rose basically. Nice art. Not frilly fancy. Smart, simple, clean w/a glow y ambiance. Our food. The $2 bean antipasto was my fave, nice light dress and near and dear to me, garbanzos. The butternut squash spread and foccocia was heavenly, and less caloric than butter. The vegetable lasagna was perfection. My friend had the ravioli of the day. I highly recommend this restaurant and the prices are very fair. Great for a 1st date i would think. Ciao all, come get a falafel too at fat Kitty Falafel! . Pros: Great service, wonderful food. Cons: None

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...

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

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

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.

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
