Dame - Portland

Omg. The Focaccia (served with Ricotta! was absolutely magnificent. Highly recommend the spicy ink paste and mushroom risotto. Try an absolute must for Italian in Portland

Probably my favorite dinner during my trip through Portland. Good natural wine selection, great flavors in our meal, and only a great mood all around. The ink paste was fantastic!

[after 5/7/2022 visit] Still perfect. This time we tried different menus and surprised again. Even donuts were just out of the oil and ingenious. 5/5 period. None of servers was in tux, but the service was top-notch-- used plates were replaced, bread crumbs were deleted. We had a truffle-stuffed triangoli and a spicy pasta. We have seen restaurants used truffle salt or truffle oil for taste, but this place actually uses minced truffles. What a nice surprise. The squid pasta was simply amazing. I almost used an F word in my first bite. Pasta itself was also brilliant, but the basic soup of the squid pasta was better than famous cioppino from Sotto Mare in SF. Overall, the pastas were comparable or better than rosemary. As for dessert, the chocolate mousse was great, but the cannoli sunk. Another wow ice since Bos Taurus in Bend. Will definitely revisit and try all the items in the menu.

Absolutely divine! came to a mood here as they had reservations available last minute, so glad we did. The servers delivered the best service and gave us great recommendations. We loved everything we ordered, food melted in the mouth. Although the parts were on the smaller side, they were surprisingly so filled! The restaurant is small and intimate, has a cozy and romantic ambience. On the more expensive side, but it is worthwhile for the quality of food and service. Come on!

Had the pleasure of doing a private dinner right before Covid hit last year. Staff couldn?t have been more helpful and inviting. The space is beautiful, but the real star is the food. Oh my goodness. Nothing failed to impress me. Even seemingly simple vegetable dishes were memorable. I?m so glad we had a set menu because I ended up trying things I probably wouldn?t have thought to order. Highly recommend. Feels very homey and yet elegant.
