The food and service were both great for a Sunday lunch. We also liked the ambiance.

We're greeted nicely upon arrival asked to sit inside as it was hot outside, but actually ended up hotter inside ( no AC I guess). Ordered two salads -dressing on the side they put dressing on both of them. One of the salads alsolooked a little old. The wedge was the better of the 2 and I enjoyed it The waiter when he brought our dishes was on his phone so he couldn't tell him he missed the dressing & we were hungry so just ate it. Also he said he would bring me extra bread and he never did. Not a big deal, but it was recommended by a local store and just did not hold up. read more

I walked in to order a panini to go. Cashier was the least friendly person I've ever come across in the food industry! He acted like I was bothering him, even though the place was empty and was at least an hour before closing. I wanted to ask about the gelato but was turned off at that point. I ate my sandwich in the car, it was nothing special, but the salad was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a weird place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Made a reservation- on line for 7pm. We brought friends to dinner. Upon arrival we were told closing time was 8pm. Found this strange since we made reservations on line. Whole meal felt rushed. plates removed when people not finished courses. Both waitresses did not seem to want to serve. Told at 8pm they' were closed. We were so embarrassed. Would not go back. the food itself was good but then whole experience was the worst we have had in a long time. Been to this restaurant during the day and we really enjoyed the staff and food. Sad this was our experience. Even our guests were shocked. read more

I think this might be my go-to dessert spot this summer. Reasonably priced gelato at $3.85. Lots of options and basically now I'll need to try each flavor. Super friendly staff with a good sense of humor, which is appreciated. Cute inside seating with a giant tree (it's the nature in me). They also have some outside and there's the park across the street to enjoy your gelato. read more

Via Delizia - Gelato - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The owner is an absolute jerk. Would not stop making rude comments about me and my relationship with my father. Worst experience in a restaurant I've ever had. read more

We had some time to kill in the area and happened to discover this small restaurant. We were looking a an iced coffee at the time and discovered that the Starbucks around the corner had closed. It's a small corner restaurant with in door and outdoor seating. The inside is quaint with fake trees in an area designed as a European courtyard. It was a relaxed vibe. They serve coffees, gelato, wines and a food menu. I can't speak to the food, but it was a hot day and the staff recommended an Affogoto; Italian espresso poured over a scoop (traditionally) of vanilla ice cream or gelato. My husband went the traditional route and I ordered mine over cookies and cream gelato. It was such a refreshing treat! My husband actually ordered a second one to go and I had a Doppio shot of espresso to go. Yes. (86 can assume we liked it!! We definitely would be back when we are in the area. read more

This is a great option if you are wanting a weekend brunch place that doesn't have a wait and has easy nearby parking. Pre-Covid I am sure this was not true, but sadly The Pearl is not what it used to be, which in this case worked to our advantage. We dined here at prime brunch time on a Saturday. I had made a reservation, but it really was not necessary, as it was not that busy.  We ordered the Pearl Benedict, and the Frienze. I really enjoyed my omelette, but friend was disappointed in here Benedict as it said it came with brioche, but her's had the same boring piece of bread that came with my omelette. You expect an Italian place to have amazing bread but it was nothing short of what you get in the grocery store. Both dishes seemed very similar. The only difference is the Benedict had a poached egg, but the vegetables and the sauce seemed to be the same. read more

Great food. Lunch portions are a nice size and not too big. Service was unbelievably slow.

Everything was amazing about this place! The food came out very quick, and was really tasty and flavorful. I ordered the sangria, and for $10 this was an amazing deal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was very quick and the entire restaurant had a calming and relaxing ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The worst Italian food I have ever had. I apologized to my out of town guest. Bland everything, overcooked pasta.

I found out about Via Delizia through TikTok, and was enchanted by the tree and the ambience of the restaurant. The video did a good job making the restaurant looking way bigger than it really is. It's a very small restaurant. When we came, thankfully we missed the lunch rush, and we got seated at a table right by the tree decor. It was so lovely to take photos by. We both got pasta dishes, which to be honest, weren't very memorable. They were kind to give us samples of gelato and ice cream from desserts, and we ordered two small cups for ourselves. A satisfying lunch before continuing on the rest of our adventures in Portland. read more

This place has really gone downhill in the last couple of years. The service is good, but the food is just terrible.

Food wasn't good. The wild salmon scramble had the palest salmon I've ever seen, which is proof it isn't wild but farm raised. There was not much egg in the scramble after I separated the muddy tasting potatoes out of it. Coffee was alright. read more

What a great little gem. They have outdoor or indoor seating. The service was impeccable! Very inviting and casual ambience. I had the Mediterranean salad with chicken and avocado. It was very delicious. Fresh and had the best combination of savory flavors. I will definitely be back to try some of their Italian dishes and paninis read more

Delicious! High quality food. Went for lunch - reasonable prices and [[HIGHLIGHT]]charming ambience[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Happy servers

The food was delicious! We started with the burrata. They brought us extra bread when asked. I had the salmon - also delicious.

A small corner bistro that has an amazing range of gelato and a decent selection of fresh food options. Located in the Pearl, on a rather nondescript corner, Via Delizia has a few outdoor tables to enjoy Tanner Springs Park and the parade of people making their way to and from. On the food side, pasta, a few different protein dishes and a nice range of vegetables - make it easy for just about everyone to enjoy a meal. They have a few wine pours of both red and white varietals, and the ever important negroni. The service is kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Ticks all the boxes. read more

Sorry to give such a review as the service was very good and the ambiance nice sitting under the big olive tree; however, my daughter, whose birthday we were celebrating, was the only one who enjoyed her dish! I am so glad for that, as she chose the place! We started with the buratta, which was tasty, but could have been better with smaller chopped tomatoes (they were very big!) My daughter got the fettuccine Alfredo had chicken, chicken, spinach, and tomatoes and was very good (a bit light on the sauce, though). My bolognese, to be honest, I could have made much better myself. The meat sauce tastes slightly burnt. Hubby got the seafood risotto, but as you can see in the picture, it was more like a brother soup than a risotto! So, it was not the best Italian experience. read more

Via Delizia - Interior - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have had lunch and coffee here multiple times somehow never got down to the review . The place is pretty popular with the neighborhood so you will find them crowded most lunch days .The interior exudes a cozy atmosphere, featuring imitation trees and a laid-back ambiance but the seating is not very comfortable . I love that they are not too extensive with the menu but what they have they make really good . I would highly recommend the gelatos here -lots of options and great quality . read more

I've passed by so many times on walks around my friend's place in the Pearl and finally stopped by this morning (solo) for a quick breakfast. Wow! The service was amazing the moment I walked in. Two friendly men greeted me immediately, handed me a menu and asked if I'd like something to drink. I got a vanilla latte that transported me to heaven! The foam on top was delicious, too. I ordered the black Pearl Benedict and well, just look at this photo! It was so good. The only reason this experience is 4 stars and not 5 is because my eggs were overcooked, not an ounce of jiggle, which as you know is blasphemous for eggs Benny. It was delicious, and I can't wait to come back and try lunch! read more

Via Delizia - Breakfast panini with potatoes - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

First of all, the staff at Via Delizia are wonderful people and a joy to be around. I work nearby, and by the time I actually ordered food from there, I was already a fan. However, I have a very particular palette and wasn't surprised when there was something to my dish I wasn't quite sure about. The quality and taste was amazing, but there was just something I couldn't quite distinguish so I could order the dish a bit differently, next time. I did not ask, but the chef actually came out and went through each ingredient with me. He was able to figure out exactly how I would like it best, and without a second thought, brought it out to me after remaking my dish. It was absolutely delicious. I didn't write a review after this experience, though. I generally don't unless I think a place is truly special and absolutely deserves it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After coming in several more times, I found Via Delizia's versatility refreshing and quite fun, actually.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]For what are you in the mood, today? Dinner with a date in a romantic setting? Make a reservation for what you have in mind. Are you looking for a place to have lunch with a colleague? There's a beautiful bar area that overlooks the Pearl District and not the cash register.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are the people, as well, who like to take their time, sit in the sun outside, and enjoy a quality glass of wine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Personally, being on the go much of the time, I like to pick up orders that have always been made just as I'm picking them up. Honestly, the chef is amazing. When I have time, sometimes I just stop in for a treat, which is always top shelf. The gelato is amazing, and they keep things interesting with a flavorful rotating menu for it. It's a must to try out, and truthfully, Via Delizia is a must to try out. As I found out over time and not just one particular great experience, Via Delizia covers just about any dining experience you're looking to have. Honestly, though, it's the unbelievable Mediterranean fusion inspired dish the chef went out of his way to make sure was everything I could want that is the basis for this review. That is the kind of service, when paired with amazing food, that can set a restaurant apart from most when backed by consistency. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Via Delizia has not only been consistent over the course of time but has also delivered in many different ways providing outstanding versatility, as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's the kind of place you will see the same people at multiple times per week, including myself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I truly appreciate the people behind the food and service at Via Delizia, the embodiment of the vibe you'll find in the Pearl District.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Tonight my son took me to Via Delizia. He goes there often and wanted me to try their food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the atmosphere, especially the huge tree covering the ceiling.

I can't wait to go back and sample some of the other dishes on the menu. Thank you Via Delizia for a wonderful evening!! read more
