Service is always great, but can sometime slow down when the line gets long (there is no table service). The ambiance is very rustic and casual. If the main area fills up, there is an additional room with lots of seating through the hallway on the right.

Even going on a Monday night, it was packed with people, however, we were able to snag a table for two without a reservation right away. The service was attentive and helpful. I got the full portion of the smoked mushroom ravioli and I absolutely loved it. I appreciated that the portion was quite large because too often ordering ravioli means you barely get any pasta. The sauce was decadent, savory, smokey, and had a hint of sweetness, which pulled everything together.

Tuesday night is half price bottle night, which was a happy coincidence, as we happened in on a…read moreTuesday. The biggest draw for me was the favorable reviews about gluten free options. Our server was friendly and quick. She answered questions and described the specials. They have gluten free focaccia!!!! It was super yummy, but it was also served kinda cold. Worth it. We ordered the fresh catch, which was halibut with some potatoes and grilled asparagus. The accompanying sauces were delicious. The asparagus was good. The white potatoes though had been cooked previously and weren't reheated enough. They were described as new potatoes but were definitely large chunks of russets. They were hard to eat. So we didn't. We also had the Punta di Fesa which is a braised beef dish with mushrooms on polenta. The balsamic mushrooms and polenta were so flavorful and delicious. It was a good thing that my husband started with this dish (we traded halfway through and had plenty to eat!) because I would have eaten his share of the polenta too. The beef however was dry and not what I would have expected from a braised beef. When we were given a knife, we were told we probably wouldn't need it. We did. The service here was friendly and helpful. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten free needs and recommended a great bottle of wine that went well with our fish AND the beef (which is tricky...yummy Chianti AND half price!). It was pretty busy for a Tuesday night at 7. There were people that ended up waiting but not too long. There are shelves of Italian goods all around you. My husband said he felt like he was eating in a store. You kind of are, but it was still cozy. I plan to come back to try the gluten free pasta and maybe a lunch sandwich if they have solid gf options there. Also, the dessert menu looked great. We were just full.

Entering the shop, you will be greeted by loud music. Be ready for that. You will have the option to dine outside, if the weather provides it and the seats are empty. The hosts are wonderful and very accepting with a positive attitude. Smiles and all. I ordered the Jim because it was the only sandwich I could eat. The majority of the sandwiches contain meat, so I would not recommend this for vegans or pescatarians. Jim was delicious and I consumed both halves of Jim flawlessly. Either hunger overruled me, or the sandwich was that satisfying. I do recommend the shop, but with limited options for non-meat eaters, I truthfully would rate Lottie and Zulas, 4.5. Yet, I don't believe the spot was "good."

We also had the Vinny which was fine, a bit spicier than I thought it would be, but I'm a wimp. The service was fine, not overly friendly but adequate. The food is 4 stars, the service 3 starts, but the real bummer was all the plastic. Plastic container, plastic cups and we were eating in. They asked if it was to go and we said no, but everything came in plastic anyway. The ambiance is quintessential Portland, right up until they bring all your food in plastic with plastic silverware to boot.

You take a bite and you can tell they know what they're doing in that kitchen. The atmosphere in there was perfect too. Nice and relaxed, not too loud, not too crazy. I was able to sit down and study for a few hours and nobody rushed me or gave me a hard time. Just a good comfortable place to hang out for a bit. The guy who took my order was a tall guy with a mustache and he was great. Friendly, quick, and just ran things the right way. The kind of guy who makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time in. Overall I had a great time. Good food, great service, and a really nice vibe. When a place does things right like that you come back. Simple as that.

On a recent visit, I found that while the inventory is high-quality, it can be hit-or-miss for specific items like niche probiotics. Prices remain in the average-to-high range, but the deli counter continues to be a highlight-specifically the cheeseburgers. Overall, it's a clean well put together store that is a premium shopping experience that's worth the price if you're looking for high-end staples.
