50 Best Italian Restaurants near Beaverton

“I love this place. Been coming here for well over 15 years. It’s got this small family/neighborhood feel to it. It’s my go to food spot when I need something good/fast. I genuinely don’t know what I’ll do if they ever leave. Thank u for the food!“

“Wonderful night for our 35th anniversary! Everything was beyond great 😊 We have been coming here at least once a year for a special dinner, it’s ALWAYS awesome, this time exceeded even more. The food was wonderful, service wonderful and just a really memorable dinner! Thank you Decarli’s!“

“Staged a good-sized wine dinner in the private room (34 people). Fantastic food & service, even with a full restaurant on a busy Sunday night. Michael and his team do a wonderful job- all the dishes were beautiful, inventive, and delicious. Don't sleep on the "Olive Oil Cake" for dessert- your taste-buds and waistband will thank you.“

“Great place!!! Will definitely be visiting again. The food was amazing and service was great.“

“Me and my boyfriend came in for lunch and our Server Skarlett was the absolute sweetest.
She was super nice and always made sure we were taken care of. Whenever she came by she would talk with us and make us laugh. We will definitely come back just to have her as our server again!“

“Love this place! Excellent food and great prices — there’s a reason they have been in business here for decades! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love the pizza love the customer service you have I will definitely pass the word on to everybody I know to give you guys a try keep up the great work“

“We had an absolutely fabulous meal at this cozy Italian bistro-what a gem. The carefully constructed menu offers lots of inventive twists on traditional Italian cuisine like the amazingly delicious fresh burrata with fresh seasonal berries and a strawberry coulis! Superb! I also loved the fresh baked focaccia with its fluffy texture and crackling crust and stuffed with savory rosemary and soft roasted garlic (so good I ended up getting a second order of it). The short rib arancini were crispy with a nice sauce and are ordered by the each.

I forgot to mention that the menu is designed for sharing so plan on 2-3 dishes per person. The spicy pork pasta had fun thin ribbons of noodles with a curly edge (like skinny lasagne noodles) and wasn’t too spicy. My wife really like the seasonal sweet corn ravioli with its beautiful lite preparation. All this food was more than enough and very reasonably priced. The wine list is small but assembled with a careful eye and the by the glass options were of high quality.

Service was friendly and the meal moved along at a relaxed pace. Water glasses were filled and team service ensured prompt delivery of food and clearing of dishes.

The dining room is small with a wonderful hand-painted tile floor. Definitely recommended but be sure to make a reservation. They were full by 7 on a Thursday when we visited.“

“Ate here last night for my bday and it was an incredible experience. We did the 4 course menu and it had great options for a vegetarian like me and a meat eater like my partner.
Tried a unique wine for the first time (look at the wine that has skin contact next to it). It has an orange flavor and was very delicious.
The scallop appetizer was to die for.

All around fantastic experience“

“We had a great evening! Celebrated our adult son’s birthday! Excellent food and a very good and friendly server! Love this place! And our six year old had his front tooth fall out into a plate of pasta! Don’t worry, we found it :) He was so excited!“

“Great food! Our first visit and we were very happy with everything. Enjoyed our waiter’s knowledge of menu items.“

“The Mediterranean pizza was delish. It just happened to hit the spot for me. I will definitely go there again and highly recommend it.“

“Charming ambiance, phenomenal meal, and excellent service. Thank you Abigail for waiting on us. I regret it's taken us so long to find our way back here. Still as great as it was a few years ago. That's a testament to a great owner and team. We really enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer, creative mocktails, the king salmon and Dungeness crab pasta specials, and the best tiramisu in all of Portland! See you again soon!“

“Dynamite. Great crust that's a blend of crispy but soft under the immediate toppings so when you eat it the temp is what wrecks the top of your mouth but then you don't chop it up with the too crisp crust shards. Sauce is lovely, hint of orange. Quality cut meats and veggies. Come here and eat this pie.“

“Lunch pasta dishes were yummy and generous portions“

“My daughter and I went to Adelleda for brunch on Sunday and it was fabulous. Each item on the menu was so enticing we had a hard time choosing. The Honus Wagner, chicken and waffle style fried oyster mushrooms over waffles with truffle syrup, was incredible. Ultra crispy mushrooms paired so well with the syrup and waffles. The Bobby Bonilla beet pastrami sandwich was a many layered flavor bomb. Such a great play of textures and spices. And Mr. 350 was the best version of chilaquiles I have ever had. Better than any in Tucson. We got to sample brioche straight from the oven and are still dreaming about it. Slathered in house made vegan butter and, no shame, dunked in that truffle syrup. There Will Be Blood was a mighty fine Bloody Mary but the Pina Caliente blew my cocktail loving mind. Smokey from the mezcal, spicy and smooth as pineapple silk. Huge kudos to the mixologist!!! The atmosphere was lovely and chill and the service made us feel special. A real gem!!!!“

“Best tiramisu around. Love this place.“

“great food nice people also the breakfast it's good.“

“I walked up to order and saw loads of basil in front of me getting ready to be turned into something delicious. I ordered a small order of arancini balls. I was delighted that I could choose different ones on the same order. They had 4 varieties and all sounded amazing. I ordered the original mozz and the pepperoni and mozz. Then I could choose from 4 different sauces and I chose the original marinara. These were so good along with the sauce that I can’t wait to go back and try all of them but next time I’m ordering the large for sure! Additionally I ordered the Italian chopped salad and added grilled chicken and soppressata dry cured ham. It was an explosion of flavors! The grilled chicken was so good along with the ham. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Next I’m trying either the eggplant parm sub of the vegan pesto pasta, especially after witnessing the mound-o-basil. I won’t be forgetting the large aracini balls either ;)“

“I just had a birthday party for 17 friends at this fantastic neighborhood restaurant! It was absolutely incredible! The service was top notch. The food, 7 courses, was amazing! Each served in a timely manner. The cocktails were finely crafted! My friends can’t stop raving about their evening at Allora!!!!“

“People in the comments saying this is nothing special… wow. Seriously mistaken.

Firstly, the service here is outstanding. Yes, you will have to wait for a table if it’s busy, but guess what? You can have a tasty pint over at Saraveza, or a yummy cocktail or frozen slushie at Tulip Shop while you wait for your table.

-Chooch’s Caesar
-Sunday Sauce (duh)
-Orecchiette
-Chicken Parm
-Pork Chop Marsala

Everything is special, martini menu is fun and playful, there’s something for everyone.

Everyone loves to complain it seems, but I found nothing to complain about here.“

“Exceptional pasta! Wonderful wine, the kale salad is to die for.

Amazing for date nights. Super awesome staff.

We booked the “justa space” and it was so cool! Everyone had a exceptional time.“

“Excellent food. Great staff. Very nice experience“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“Legitimately one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever experienced in the US. I have lived in Italy and my husband is Italian and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our dinner. The wine selection is varied and thoughtfully curated. We enjoyed a bottle of Sardinian Carignano which is a rare find in the states. The prices are more than reasonable. We had a lovely locally sourced steak that melted in the mouth for $32. Bread is homemade fresh TWICE daily and the meat and cheeses were top quality If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC Italian in Portland, look no further. Nero Gallo has it all; great food, prices, staff, atmosphere and we will most definitely be back.“

“I have been at Riccardo's twice for lunch in the pass month. The food, and service are superb. I wanted to tell Riccardo in person what a wonderful Ristorante that he has, but he had already left. Thank you.“

“love the pizza great menu polite staff“

“great service with a sense of humor, and the food was absolutely amazing! Try the special, if they are all as good as tonight's, you will be thrilled.“

“I had my first experience with my family at Degarios and it was amazing. The service is super friendly and the food was out of this world. This is my new go to place for Italian food, this was just a treat. thank you to all the staff!!“

“Had the sprouts and Rhode Island style calamari. Outstanding.“

“Jsut simply amazing food and ambience!“

“Excellent food and service in a comfortable environment. Highly recommended!“

“Where do I even begin!

The staff was very welcoming and very attentive. Our fire time in Portland fresh off the airplane we decided pizza. Couldn’t be happier with this spot. Pizza was top notch beer was great a safe quiet get away from the busy streets of Portland.

Can’t wait to go back!“

“😀Today a group of nine of us former colleagues had a most pleasant lunch. The wait staff were very well organized and tuned in to our needs, while being in the background in our conversation. I am very impressed and recommend this place, despite their need for a restricted parking lot.“

“Ok, I love Grassa, been coming here for years both in Portland and in Vancouver. Didn't get the full five stars because they changed the meatball recipe or something to make them too spicy. Maybe they didn't make a test meatball from the mix to address quality control, but just wanted to make the owners aware that stuff matters.“

“Very nice as usual. But Kennedy and Joren did a really excellent job hosting our impromptu little crowd of about 30 people in two groups of about 15 as we trickled in from the wedding across the street. It just made it very nice and relaxing. Thank you both!!!“

“Food is top-notch! You can always expect to leave full in spirirt, mind, and stomach. Italian classics elevated and some of the best pizza on this side of the Mississippi. The chefs are cooking like they have something to prove. Can not recommend this place enough! Eat at Scorfana“

“Good food. Ate chicken piccata if it were only a little larger portion for the price it would be nice. The flavor was excellent!“

“I realized I’ve been coming to Grassa for years, guess I ought to share a review. It’s one of those places that I never think about yet is mostly pretty good. Had lunch there Saturday, and on the recommendation of my son in law, I decided to go with the pork belly mac & cheese. It was okay, oddly too sweet for my tastes, but filled me up nonetheless. Wife had the sweet pea agnolotti, and that was much better.“

“I ordered Baked Rigatoni for take out and it was excellent. When I picked it up the food was hot and stayed hot until I got home. The guy I talked to on the phone for the order was very upbeat and pleasant when I picked up the order. I will order from here again. I think I'm going to try the special lasagna.“

“The only thing my daughter and I don't like is the bread that is served with the pasta, and is also used to make the Panini. The bread is so bad… I don't recommend the Panini.
My favorites are the Carbonara and Gnocchi.“

“Absolutely stellar selection of sandwiches. I had the chicken parm, and my only regret is that I couldn't eat enough to try them all. Only thing to do is come back! Pool table and some arcade consoles for entertainment, lots of windows for ventilation. Music is on blast so not exactly a quiet spot, but definitely quietly enjoyable on the back patio.“

“Delicious pizza and great Greek salads. Kind of expensive, but good tasting food is worth it…once In a while.“

“My husband and I were visiting our son and we stopped by for lunch. It was amazing! I can’t wait to come back! The service was amazing and the food was even better!“

“Great lunch at Grassa. $15 lunch special includes spaghetti w meatballs or mac and cheese and a half caesar salad and a soda. All tasted great. Ambiance was relaxed and comfortable. The pork belly mac and cheese was an excellent entree!“

“Good food! Prices have gone up though!!“

“I was lucky enough to have been working on a building 2 doors down from grassa in lake oswego. I wasn't even going to give it a chance because I assumed it was very high dollar dining due to the person making fresh pasta in the resteraunt in vein of everyone. I decided that I would splurge one day on my lunch break and try it out. The price was more than reasonable and the food is easily the best pasta in the greater portland area. They always have a good record playing (actual vinyl on a record player). Since the first time i decided to eat here, 7byrs ago, to this day it is easily in my top 3 resteraunts in the city.“

“A Truly Wonderful Experience! I took my aunt and uncle to Nonna Emilia’s for Father’s Day to celebrate my uncle, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with incredible hospitality. The customer service was second to none, warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. We even had the pleasure of meeting the new owner, Sheri, who personally came to our table to introduce herself and make sure everything was perfect. That personal touch meant so much and speaks volumes about how much she cares about her guests. And the food… absolutely outstanding! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can truly tell the original cook is back because the quality is exceptional. I’ll be honest. There was a period when the food and service had declined, and we stopped coming. We had no idea the restaurant was under new ownership until our visit last Sunday, when our server shared the exciting news with us. We were so glad we decided to give Nonna Emilia’s another chance because what an incredible turnaround! The original cook is back, the food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and this beloved restaurant is better than ever. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, outstanding service, and an owner who truly cares about preserving what has made this restaurant a local favorite for so many years, look no further. Thank you, Sheri, and the entire team, for making Father’s Day so special for our family. We’ll absolutely be back again and again! ❤️🇮🇹🍝“

“I had one of the best dishes that I have ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth. Upon the waitresses enthusiastic recommendation (she seemed really excited about it) I went with the Boscaiola with pasta instead of ravioli. Every bite I took I closed my eyes to just enjoy the explosion of flavors. Hands down best food ever. Highly recommend but don’t forget your reservation!“
