This place is a perfect example of what Portlanders want when dining out. The service is orchestrated like watching a corregraphed ballet with symphany. No one goes without, meaning if your server is busy, the others will take over. Very smooth! Now onto the food: wonderful!! It couldn't be better. It's truly PNW Italian with local flare. And the Italian chef makes no mistake to put his own stamp on each dish, which makes it truly special. We are still raving about the wine list. Very hard to find wines, which we haven't seen since Italy, truly well crafted to compliment every budget and meal. It can tend to get a bit loud, but you still feel it is romantic and sets a perfect back drop to a marvelous, fun evening. Chairs on the side walls need upgrading, as they are similar to outdoor chairs we had in college. Bravo Chef Vito!! We strongly recommend not to give this a miss.
Pros: fresh local menu, wine list-superb, A+ service
Cons: crowded, could be larger, but may lose it's niche, chairs small and uncomfortable
