We always have such a great time dining at Rosmarino Osteria. The food is handmade and is always consistently delicious, and the service is exceptional. They also have an extensive wine and cocktail list. Additionally, the ambiance makes you feel like you are dining in Italy. We highly recommend dining here.

About the restaurant

"Inclusive from the moment you grace the doorway, 3 Doors Down Cafe and Lounge has a keen acumen for speeding up your wind down, flipping the switch from maddening day to welcoming respite. A playful, thoughtful, and engaging dining experience begins with the dynamic wine list (including barrel to bar wines by the glass), flowing effortlessly to the inventive starters, big bowls of pasta and shellfish, perfectly grilled fish and meats. 3 Doors Down Cafe and Lounge offers a doff of the hat to Mother Italy and a harmonious affair with locally procured Pacific Northwest cuisine. Come in, sit down, and eat!"

This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant in the Portland metro area. There is a variety of tasty dishes nicely presented. This last time, we tried the lattuga salad and a pizza (Salsiccia). Salad was well balanced, and the various ingredients blended well. The dressing was just right. The pizza was excellent with a very thin crust. The sausage was very flavorful without overwhelming the other ingredients. We also had dessert. The gelato is always great. I also recommend the soufflé chocolata. Last but not least, the service is always good. Welcoming and attentive without being intrusive.

Tartuca

$31 to $50

Italian

Northeast Portland

About the restaurant

Since 2022, Tartuca has been a quintessential Pacific Northwest restaurant, contextualizing its hyper-local, farm-direct produce through an Italian lens on the active strip of Mississippi Avenue in North Portland. Tartuca has formed partnerships with local farmers and respects their soulful work by treating their produce as simply as possible, letting the quality of the ingredients shine above all else. Inside Tartuca is a hip, bustling environment powered by a grooving soundtrack and abundantly flowing wine from a tightly curated All-Italian list that exclusively features small, artisanal producers making wine naturally from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards, often from over-looked regions. For those seeking a quieter experience, Tartuca's best kept secret is a cozy back patio featuring a garden full of herbs that likely will garnish your pizza or bowl of pasta. We are excited to serve you! Abbondanza!
