What a charming little brunch spot! The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal. I ordered the Black Pearl Benedict, and it was outstanding. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, the toasted brioche was light and buttery, and the sautéed vegetables added wonderful flavor and freshness. The apple-balsamic crème sauce was unique and delicious, bringing just the right balance of sweetness and tang, while the toasted almonds added a satisfying crunch. The oven-roasted potatoes were crispy, flavorful, and the perfect side. Every bite was thoughtfully prepared, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Nice spot, good food, low key. I had the Italian melt, had fresh mozzarella, tasty marinara. I also had a glass of white Pinot which was very good, light, fruity on a hot day. My wife had the turkey sandwich which was very tasty too. She had the sangria which she really liked. Prices were reasonable, service was good, not over the top, but allowed us to enjoy ourselves without constant questions. We will go back. read more

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

Delicious and amazing service Lunch portions and selection is awesome! Def going back for sure The pasta was perfect 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. What a weird place. 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

Very surprised to realize the restaurant was the back side of a gelato shop. Clever photography made it look like a more elaborate space. The waiter seemed a little embarrassed by the whole idea but was gracious and competent. The caprese salad was well presented and tasty. The pasta dishes were average pasta with freshly prepared chicken. Not what we expected but pretty good for an ice cream shop. read more

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

Such a gem of a place in the Pearl District. This neighborhood favorite consistently serves great food in a quaint atmosphere. Its corner location across from Tanner Springs Park makes for a wonderful setting, inside and out. We regularly get lunch here and the salads are fabulous. The service is also great. Highly recommend! 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

I was in town visiting and made reservations to meet family to eat here. It was a very pleasant atmosphere, comfortable seating outside. I really enjoyed my food as did the rest of the family. Parking was very easy, right in front of the door. 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

Via Delizia - an olive tree in a restaurant - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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. The service was very quick and the entire restaurant had a calming and relaxing ambiance. read more

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

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

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

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

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

The food was delicious! We started with the burrata. They brought us extra bread when asked. I had the salmon - also delicious. Service was friendly and all orders accurate, though just a little bit slow. Ambience was great! If I could give 4.5 stars I would. Solid place. I will return. read more

OMG what a hidden gem. I really thought it was just a gelato or ice cream place and the food is amazing. Oh and they have Peroni!!!!! Definitely coming back. The staff was so nice too. I forgot how people could smile until I met them. read more

Excellent all around, foods delicious, Service is perfect and nice personalities. Can't go wrong.

Good price for the top quality food. Beautiful part of Portland and nice park across the street. Place was immaculate and well decorated with a cool tree inside. Gelato selection was heaven along with all the other desserts I tried. Very rich food. The dinner itself was hearty but healthy and not massive quantities. Good background music. Very cute to see the prom couples there. Waitresses were very polite and easy going. Pretty too. The place smelled really good even from outside as we walked up. Can't wait for summer to get cold gelatos all the time! Thank you guys! read more

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

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

Via Delizia - Beet Salad Dinner - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

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
