Great food and a great wine list, can’t wait to go back, make reservations as small

A nice little place to sit and eat. Husband and wife own it and she can cook a fantastic meal! A little pricey but I thought it was worth it! Definitely will go back next time in town.

Food was great! One gentleman is host/waiter In this very small restaurant. Could be owner? All interactions with him were cold. Felt like we were an inconvenience. Could feel his eye roll when I ordered a small plate as a main course. He became our mealtime conversation because we felt so uncomfortable. Go for the food but be warned, you won’t feel welcome.

I’ve lived in Portland for 5 years and never really loved any of the Italian restaurants. A friend told me about Enio’s and I’m so glad they did! This is my new favorite place.

Best Caesar salad I have ever had and I order them everywhere and make my own. Braised chicken thighs with pasta was fabulous. I am a fan.

This hole in the wall mom and pop Italian restaurant will surprise you. The decor and the ambiance is average but the flavor is excellent. Service is rather brusque. We had the linguine vongole which I enjoyed the amount of clams they offered but found the balance of the acidic notes too forward. We also tried the pork tenderloin with all day sauce. Now this was the winner with lots of unctuous and big flavors. We didn't try dessert but their options looked delicious.

No frills, homey atmosphere featuring some of most spectacularly creative gourmet cooking anywhere. Having traveled extensively & dined at many of Italy's finest, his is not an exaggeration.We were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable pricing of their fresh, seasonal menu.Don't miss this unique, local gem!

Enio’s is understated and authentic, like the owners, Bob and chef Laura.We enjoyed a midweek dinner with friends on a quiet, cold night and pretty much had the place to ourselves. The wine list covers all the right bases with a few unexpected gems.We made our way through much of the menu, one beautifully executed dish after another. The pasta with sausage and brown butter and the tenderloin with mushrooms ravioli were standouts. As were all three of the deserts we shared.There’s no scene. No vibe. No loud music. No cocktails with clever names. (Actually, no cocktails at all.) It’s all about the food, the wine, and the personal, attentive service. Highly recommended!

Last night we went to Enio’s with a couple who has been raving about it among our friends. Our meal couldn’t have been better - from the food to the experience, everything was perfect and we are already craving our next meal. P.S. We have already made our next reservation!

We enjoyed our birthday celebration with amazing food at Enio's. Always a hit, superbly matched bottle of wine and some of the nicest owners in the business. what a gem on our side of the harbor. strongly recommend Enio's whether you are visiting or living in the neighborhood.
