3 stars based on the amount of food.. not the quality!! Though the food was absolutely delicious!! I admittedly left still hungry.. I ordered the $30 tortellini special, and though it was delicious, there was only 6.. so I inhaled this and also ate a majority of my husband’s carbonara dish?The service was great, the drinks were even better! The food needs to be more..**also, they do not accept tips on credit card transactions, so please remember to bring cash! PSA- tip your restaurant staff!!

First I want to say that the Alfredo pizza was the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had. The food here is 10/10 with some of the best vegan food in all of Portland. However, the service was horrible, we had to work to get our waiters attention to get more water and asked for our bill twice before receiving it. With a no tipping policy in place I feel there was no incentive to provide good service.

We went here for a double birthday celebration, and had the most wonderful food and experience. Everything was delicious, lovingly prepared, beautifully presented, and all vegan! None of us are vegan, and so appreciated that we didn’t miss anything. The mocktails were yummy too!

Love this place. Thank you for offering paper menus! Can't stand all the restaurants still using those stupid QR codes as a menu. Also, it's so refreshing to have table service! Why is it that almost all vegan restaurants are 'order at the bar/counter and then take your number'? Vegans deserve table service with waitstaff too! So thank you for making our dining service cozy and enjoyable. Only gripe is being handed a box to box up my leftovers. Hate that trend. Waitstaff should be doing that not the customers.

We went out to dinner here for a nice date night. We went early in the evening so it wasn't crowded. Wait staff was friendly, attentive and also knowledgeable. They have implemented a no tip policy which was nice and the prices weren't much higher than I would have paid other places.
The food was great, the fried mushrooms were yummy and the dill aioli was delicious. We had the bolognese and the "beef" tagliata. The "beef" was so close we had to actually ask if it was vegan. It was tender, shredded easily and reminded me of short ribs but without the animal cruelty.
The ganache dessert was some of the best vegan dessert I've ever had. Not too rich, the whipped cream was great- not coconut based which was a bonus.
Overall we highly enjoyed our meal and would recommend this place to anyone looking not just for vegan Italian food but Italian food in general.

I've only ordered delivery from Lilla thus far, but am pleased to see a vegan Italian restaurant once again in Portland (I'd had a birthday dinner once at the since-closed vegan Portobello Vegan Trattoria) delivering excellent flavors at reasonable prices. I've tried the "Chicken" Parmigiana (which was excellent), & look forward to trying out their pizzas & more as they seem to frequently tweak their menu.
We’ve visited Lilla several times over the last 2 years. Their share plates/appetizers are amazing. Our favorites are the croquettes and eggplant parm. Their pesto pasta is lovely. We loved their acorn risotto the best and I hope they bring it back. Their portions are very very generous and we always have leftovers! I have mixed feelings about the seasonal changing menus because I have some anxiety about losing my very favorite food! But they bring some amazing new items in the menu as well.We are vegan/vegetarian and just love Lilla. I hope Lilla continues to grow!

Croquettes cold inside, over salted risotto and unevenly cooked pasta. Nothing to like. Staff could pay more attention too.
