I was happy to see Grassa at PDX. I usually get the Rigatoni or Pork Belly Mac & Cheese at the other locations, but I wanted to try a different pasta dish. I enjoyed the Black Truffle Parpadelle (4 stars), and I would order it again. I liked the texture of the parpadelle noodles that was coated with just enough of the delicious buttery sauce. The black truffle flavor was balanced and not overwhelming. The service was 4 stars. My food seemed to be ready faster than the 15-20 minutes they mentioned when I ordered. It's a good spot if are already a Grassa fan or dining before your flight out of PDX. read more

Seeing an airport carbonara had me a little skeptical but it was surprisingly not bad. It's not the most traditional one with the egg on top, but it was still pretty delicious. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get some carbs before a flight. Lots of seating and free water as well. read more

Handmade pasta in the airport? Must have! I saw a pappardelle dish and definitely needed to have it. The black truffle was fragrant and noodles were cooked perfectly. It definitely exceeds your typical expectations of airport food. Perfect if you need a filling meal before you walk over to your gate! read more

AI told me to come here while I wait for my friend after arriving at PDX. It said that people raved about their meal as being one of the best you could get at an airport. I ordered a Fusili ala vodka. I knew that I would wait a little bit, because AI also told me. But it probably felt longer of a wait because I was alone. When that bowl came, it was a beautiful site. When I dug my fork in and took my first bite, it was an amazingly beautiful experience. I think it helped that I was alone with no kids to stop me from enjoying every bite. I told my friend about it later and she reminded me that we ate at a Grassa in Portland a few years ago. And I suddenly remembered another wonderful experience there. I can't believe I forget. I know I should do my own research and not always depend on AI, but I am just really glad to have eaten at a Grassa again! read more

Grabbed breakfast at 7:30am and service was fast and friendly. The PDX to JFK breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, Tillamook cheddar on poppy seed bun) was very flavorful and a good medium size (neither small nor large). The bacon is very thin slice but has solid bacon flavor. My favorite part was the over easy egg had the yolk 80% cooked. Just like a great homemade sandwich. The seating area is lovely as well. read more

I'd had one of the other Grassa locations bookmarked for ages, so when we had to come to the airport a few hours before a flight, I was excited to finally get to check them out! My mom and I ordered a Caesar salad and garlic bread to share, then each got our own bowl of the Carbonara. We probably could've even shared the carbonara with everything else since the portions are pretty good and we weren't that hungry. The Caesar salad was fantastic with the preserved lemons and anchovies, I've been wanting preserved lemons on my salad again ever since I had them here a few months ago. The garlic bread was good and I'm glad we got it. The only thing I wasn't crazy about it was the pasta, I would get a different one next time. The pancetta was pretty fatty/greasy and I've had better carbonaras. I did like that it came with the fried egg on top though! The restaurant is located just past security, so it's pretty convenient no matter which gate your flight is at. They have seating in their immediate area, as well as other tables right out of what is technically there space. read more

This location was impressive and what they had to offer in such a small smaller space. Staff was extremely friendly as I had never had breakfast with them.

Wow so yummy! Traveling home through PDX airport I spotted this place to eat at! Love Italian food and saw handcrafted pasta sign and was automatically drawn in. So glad I stopped. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs because of another review and I had a salad with me with no dressing so I asked for a little of the Caesar dressing which they did not charge me for and I tried the blueberry ginger lime. The guy taking the order was so friendly and caring about you and what you want. Very nice. You order and they bring it to you on china and with real silverware. There is a water station and to go boxes as well. The plate of food was piping hot and so delicious. I just came from Italy and know good pasta and meatballs! This is some good stuff! The drink he made homemade with syrups and ginger beer; just the right amount of everything. Was very delicious. The homemade Cesar dressing was the best I've ever had and I've tried a lot of salad dressings in my time! A must stop by and try something kind of place! I want to open one in my neighborhood!

GETTING HERE: Located inside the PDX airport REVIEW: As a non-frequent flyer, any food I eat whilst traveling is usually limited to chips and soda (ugh, gross, right?) - so color me stoked when I found myself tired, in a new airport, and hangry a few weeks ago and walked right by Grassa. OK, pasta? Bread? Very yes. It was late and much to my chagrin they had sold out of their garlic bread. Uhm, wha?! But, I was craving protein (better choice) and needed something quick and somewhat portable as I was heading to the exit. I ordered their meatballs and they were pretty good. Of course, they were served hot (win!) and I was able to eat them while walking. It took a bit longer than I had hoped for/expected, but overall that wasn't an issue because my protein was hot and very flavorful. Service was OK; nothing noteworthy. Ambience was a bit awkward IMO, but the seating was open and located right in front of the counter. Please Grassa, when I return to PDX next, save me some garlic bread. read more

Hats off to Grassa and to the Portland Airport for redesigning and refining what is possible for airport food. Grassa, of course, fits into the new mission of the Portland Airport: to highlight local vendors that run high quality Oregon businesses and exemplify the quirky, creative food and retail scene. That is an ambitious goal, but somehow they are managing to do it. And well. Grassa is a perfect ambassador for well priced casual local cuisine. The first location opened in SE Portland fifteen years ago. The quality of this spaghetti and meatballs order is on par with restaurant-quality food. Toothsome pasta, a good sauce, good pork meatballs and generous fresh parm. A positive casual dining experience with cooked to order pasta delivered to your table by helpful staff, and plated nicely. More like a restaurant-quality food experience than most currently offered in most US airports. Don't sleep on this. read more

Airport food that actually surprises you in the best way. I wasn't expecting much beyond "good enough before a flight," but this spot delivered. The Black Truffle Pappardelle was rich, comforting, and clearly made with care. The perfectly cooked pasta, earthy truffle flavor, and not overly heavy. The garlic bread was warm, crispy in the best way, and impossible not to finish, and the lemonade was refreshing and balanced. What really stood out was the local feel. This isn't a generic airport chain, it felt like a true extension of Portland's food scene. If you have time before your flight because the line can be long, this is absolutely worth sitting down for. Proof that good food does exist at the airport. read more

Grabbed an Italian Flag sandwich for the road on my way to Vegas where all the restaurants close by the time I arrive. Taste was okay. Bread is softer than you expect so it's not the mouthful it looks like. I like the firmness of the cheese. Using roasted tomato sauce saves it from the sogginess of fresh and gives it a tang. Ambivalent right now if I would buy another one. read more

PDX has phenomenal food options, wow! I stopped at Grassa before my recent flight and was so impressed! I was expertly the "airport version" to not be as good as other locations, but wow! Everything was spot on! My Mac and Cheese was made to order (took 20 minutes, but they advised me of the wait ahead of time) and was so, so good. If you arrive at the airport early and are looking for something to fill your tummy, Grassa is definitely worth a visit. Note that you can order for dine in or to go. If you dine in, there are ample tables available. 2025: 41/100 read more

I wasn't very hungry, but when I saw the grassa at the pdx airport, I had to stop for some fresh pasta. Prices are amazing for an airport, pdx has done a great job. The pasta does take a bit to be prepared so not a good choice if you're in a hurry, but if you have an extra fifteen minutes, this is a restaurant worth stopping by. The restaurant has a nice seating area and it feels very high end for an airport restaurant. The fresh pasta from grassa is always amazing and the airport maintains the quality of their standalone restaurants. read more

The customer service is always amazing: friendly, fast, and welcoming every time. All of the dishes are tasty, but the Pork Ragu is on another level--rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

Delicious fresh pasta in an airport in the Pacific Northwest before you fly? 1000% yes. A simple menu, it offers a little bit of something for everyone. Their handcrafted pass is as advertised. Fresh delicious and tasty. I myself had the rigatoni and it was a very excellent dish. Their drink prices are very reasonable, and their syrups are made in house. Honestly, where else can you get an experience like this in an airport. The cherry on top is the really good service and friendly vibe. I actually feel like I'm not in an airport here.

I got the Fusilli Alla Vodka and it was honestly one of the best airport meals I've had. The handmade pasta was amazing--thick, spiraled noodles cooked perfectly al dente. I like my pasta a little softer, so I let it sit and ate it on my flight, and it was still delicious. The sauce thickened a bit and the flavor got even better. There was a generous amount of sausage, and while it was a bit peppery, I didn't mind it. The portion was shareable, the price was fair, and the service was quick and friendly.

Grassa at the airport before your flight? PDX and Grassa are stepping up their game serving travelers with unique and tasty foods from Portland. I'm a fan! I remembered the first time I had Grassa while in Portland, years ago. I remembered it being good. So, during our flight back, we saw Grassa and decided to try. It was as good as you can get for airport restaurants. The service was friendly and quick--although you bus your own tables. Self serve water to the side. Remodeled decor just outside of Concourse E, the food and drinks looks like what you'd get at one of the Grassa restaurants in the city. We ordered the Mac & Cheese and Carbonara. Both were very good. It seems as if the other dishes and their drink selection would not disappoint. read more

The dessert tasted homey though also unique. Service from beginning to end was friendly, very knowledgeable and thoughtful. Wine pairing recommendations were on point. If I lived in Portland, this would be on regular rotation. Highly recommend.

I made reservations for two for a special date night out. They required a deposit to make a…read morereservation, which isn't my favorite policy. But they also gave the option to pre-purchase cookies or caviar, which is a fun way to surprise the reservation party members. We had bar seats and left the option open to order à la carte or go with their prix fixe. The example menu on the website is several months out of date, so I was not quite sure what we'd get. But I understand the focus of this restaurant to be fresh, in-season food, locally sourced, vegetable-forward, French-inspired. It's a neat location near Mt Tabor. There's not a lot nearby, so it feels like a destination. There is a small parking lot next door, which is convenient. You enter through their market/oyster bar. There's not an immediately clear check-in table. And you're walked through the back to the other side where the Coquine dining room is. It feels a tad underwhelming - perhaps too casual for the finer dining expectation. Additionally, the person who greeted us was a tad surly. Service was friendlier during dinner but a little less hands-on than I'd like. I liked the design of the restaurant. Good lighting, natural decor, red countertop. They are a "zero foodprint" restaurant so the napkins and coasters are washable, serving utensils are wood, etc. It gave a very organic feel. Okay that said! We ordered the following à la carte: -Half dozen oysters (fun toppings - pomegranate gelee) -Bread and butter (normal, would skip next time) -Roasted carrots -Shaved cauliflower salad -Potato gnocchi -Pan seared black cod (our favorite) -Citrus tart (unique) Everything was tasty: well prepared, beautiful to look at, fun sauces and elements to discover. It might have been too many cold dishes at the start. We also got a half dozen cookies to go. I've heard that these are the best cookies in the city. They have nuts, which is an immediate disqualifier for me, but even without that I'm not sure they live up to the hype. Very delicious? Sure. Best in the city? I don't know about that. Overall this was a good meal, in a nice atmosphere. It felt very "Pacific Northwest." Worth a visit if you appreciate seasonal, ingredient-driven dining.

Brought an out of town friend here the other night and she couldn't believe the quality, taste and portion of her chicken cacciatore over fusilli pasta for under $16. Enough for two meals! I had the Fusilli alla Vodka with spicy sausage that gave the dish a nice kick of heat. it was comforting, satisfying - and enough for lunch the next day. Another winner! We shared a bottle of the Pinot Noir which was really delicious. Since I am not a fan of Pinot Noir, and I mentioned that, the cashier offered me a taste. Yes, thank you! It was full bodied than most Pinot Noirs so we went with it and it paired perfectly with our rich and spicy pastas. And of course I got a cannoli. The crisp shell was stuffed with creamy ricotta dotted with mini chocolate chips perfection. When they first opened, the music was way too loud especially when they were playing head banker music. Thankfully they have turned the volume down and are playing a more universally pleasing soundtrack. Street parking.

They had a nice food counter at the back of the store, with a lot of different items. I would've been glad to go for a grilled cheese with tomato soup, if I had not already just eaten at the airport lounge. The place smelled good. I hear sometimes they have samples available, this time they didn't. Besides the food counter, they did have a good amount of their cheese available, in both blocks and bags. I got two bags, a black pepper cheese, and a cheese curds, both for only 11 bucks, and that was before the military/veterans discount. Those aren't airport prices, those are street prices. I was very pleased. I tried both of my cheese when I got home. You could definitely taste the black pepper, but it didn't over power the cheese. They played very well together. The cheese curds were creamy, with a little bit of the "squeak" that you expect with a good cheese curd. A great store, worth a stop. Thanks.

My first visit was on my birthday, so I got a free dozen doughnuts - such an amazing deal! The doughnuts are the perfect bite size, making it easy to sample a variety of flavors. I also love that they're more old-fashioned cake-style than light, yeasty doughnuts. My favorite flavor is the Raw Honey & Sea Salt. The flaky sea salt perfectly balances the sweetness. They rotate flavors often, but Raw Honey & Sea Salt and Cinnamon Sugar are always available. The chai flavors are also excellent, especially the King & I, inspired by Thai pandan tea. It's warm, lightly spiced, and packed with flavor. Consistently delicious, fun seasonal flavors, and always worth the stop. One of my favorite donut shops, hands down.

For me, the star of the show is the donuts. These delectable morsels are crafted in front of you so they come out fresh and hot. There are a variety of flavors and I've heard whispers of a secret menu... Check their Instagram for more info there. While I do gravitate towards the donuts first, I know they are also famous for their chai. So if you are a chai fan don't skip that option here. I just had a chance to interact with their mobile food truck at an event, which was such a fun aspect to the overall event. I got a quad of donuts and a chocolatey chai! Also I will say this: Pip's offers a free birthday dozen, which is incredibly generous gift. My birthday falls around the holidays so I usually can't make it in, but I want to be clear that I have absolutely zero complaints about that. Adults, especially, should never grumble about not receiving a generous freebie. The fact that they offer it at all speaks volumes about the kind of business they are!
