Die besten italienischen Restaurants in Pearl District

This is a traditional favorite, if we can arrange it, before going to a play at Portland Center Stage. Their wines by the glass are as satisfying as more expensive bottles. Give us the Nostrana salad & a Margherita pizza to share, with added prosciutto and arugula (pay the extra!), and we're off to a good start for the evening. Servers are knowledgeable, efficient, and still manage to treat guests like family.

Service and food were excellent! I highly recommend!

I love The Star since it opened. I rented in NE Portland for years and was within walking distance. Now that I’ve moved to Happy Valley, I dont get there that often. Went last night for my wife’s birthday. The pizza and drinks are perfect. Great ambiance, and the waitstaff was great as always. The longtime staff has always given A+ service.

We have eaten there each time we have tickets for Portland Center Stage over the past several years and continue to enjoy the experience. The ambiance and staff are comfortable and relaxing. The waiters take time to interact in a comfortable, relaxing, and helpful manner and make the dining experience even more special. The food is consistently excellent.

The olives and the focaccia were delicious. Overall, the mains were average with the meatballs being the standout. The the others had too much going on with thick sauces. Portions were small, but not miniscule. Dessert was outstanding. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was pleasant. The space was smallish, but the mix of bar, tables, railing and booths worked well. Overall a decent experience, but I wouldn't go back.
