We ordered a…read morespread with steak, rigatoni, gnocchi, Brussels sprouts, and spicy prawns, and every single dish delivered. The flavors were spot on across the board. What really stood out (beyond the food) was the service--attentive, friendly, and dialed in the entire night without ever feeling overbearing. If you're looking for a spot that can handle a great group dinner and still make it feel personal, this is it. Highly recommend.

We came here for the first time with a reservation and still had to wait about 15-20 minutes. That…read morewould have been fine if someone had acknowledged us, but we were left standing in the middle of the restaurant while multiple staff members walked by, made eye contact, and said nothing. What made it worse was watching a guest who arrived after us get helped before we were. That set the tone right away and felt off. The restaurant is small, so this wasn't a case of a busy, chaotic space. There were open tables and plenty of staff moving around, which made the lack of attention even more frustrating. Food was mediocre at best. Several items we wanted were already unavailable, which limited options. The cocktails were disappointing and not worth ordering. The space itself is nice and has a quaint feel, but service and execution matter more. Between being ignored at arrival, the disorganized seating, and average food, this was not a good experience. I would not recommend this place and would not return.

I have strong opinions about your conduct, most of which I cannot express here. I will state this: Do not arrive in our town and treat our residents that way. And I recognize you are not local, since no one here behaves like that. You are fortunate I was not present, because I would have called out your entitled behavior. I have no problems unleashing on people acting belligerently. As always, our food was excellent. That entitled, petulant individual can eff all the way off.

Dearest gentle readers,…read more A most scandalous correction must be issued how careless of me. The establishment in question is none other than the divine Grassa, a name that now rolls off the tongue with the same richness as its most indulgent fare. And oh, what fare it is. Here, along the lively stretch of Portland, one may witness noodles brought to life before their very eyes fresh, authentic, and handled with a confidence that borders on audacity. These delicate strands are then enrobed in a mac and cheese so decadently composed, so brazenly elevated, that it dares to redefine comfort itself. And just when one believes it cannot be improved enter the pig belly. Crisp, tender, and unapologetically rich... a finishing touch that transforms the dish into something whispered about in only the most exclusive of circles. Yes, dear reader, this is the sort of indulgence that lingers long after the final bite... the kind that ruins lesser versions without remorse. And so, with that final truth properly set, I take my leave once more. The tales of this fair city draw to a close, but not without leaving behind a most delicious legacy. Until our next adventure ever eastward. Yours most faithfully,

The mac and cheese was recommended to us and was definitely not a lie. Sweet, slightly spicy(not really), creamy, and tangy. A perfect blend of the best flavor profiles with sauce hoarding pasta. It's a life regret to not order this dish. Everything else was also very solid. I really enjoyed the refreshing flavors of the burrata dish and the Brussel sprouts were a necessary addition of vegetables.

I got the aglio oglio again, it's too good not to pass up and I don't know how to make it that well myself.

The interior is attractive and very modern, and there is a large covered and heated patio if you prefer to sit outside (we did). The service was a little bit slow, but not egregious and the server was very friendly. The menu is not extensive, but it has good variety and everything on it looked excellent. All of their ingredients seem high-quality, and they have a number of gluten-free and vegetarian offerings. I ended up getting the eggs benedict, which came with a little salad. The salad was fresh, not wilted, and came with a light vinaigrette. The eggs benedict was absolutely stellar-- perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and grilled halloumi to give some well-received brine to the bite, all atop an english muffin. For the price point and the quality, the portions are good. My one wish was that I could have subbed my salad for some of their potatoes! My partner got the pork belly hash, and thought that the potatoes were cooked perfectly-- crispy and well-seasoned. He did notice that there were only a few pieces of pork in the dish, but we chalked this up to the ingredient quality. We ended up staying for Happy Hour, which was fun! We got the fries with garlic aioli (so good!) and I ordered their daily cocktail special, a margarita. They gave me a good, heavy, pour, which is always appreciated. Great brunch spot if you want to go somewhere a little chic.

We were in the restaurant for 3 1/2 hours, but Chad never rushed us, and we enjoyed our experience fully. We started with a Maker's Mark Manhattan, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and San Pellegrino. All were excellent. Then we did have the appetizer that has been mentioned often as being very good...it was. The Ken's Artisan Garlic Ciabatta Bread was so darn good. We all enjoyed it immensely. Our friend and my wife split the Butter Lettuce. Again it was quite good. I had the French Onion Soup. It was one of the best I have ever had. For our main courses, our friend had the Seared Sea Scallops, my wife had the Ravioli and I had the Pappardelle. Incredible flavors and preparation. Chad was knowledgeable and quite engaging throughout our visit. The food was enjoyed with a perfect bottle of the 2020 Syrah. A perfect accompanient. Thanks Serratto for providing us a memorable evening.
