Reviews for Grassa in Lake Oswego, OR
I thought it was pretty good and I?d like to try some other pastas. This time I tried Carbonara. I like the fried egg on top,... sauce was light and creamy for a dish that can be heavy, pork was a bit over cooked, and I?m personally not a fan of fatnoodles. Reminds me more of udon rather than spaghetti. Update 2:had the pesto pasta this time. It was really good, if you likegarlic. Lots of sauce and spaghetti had perfect al dente finish. Update 3: had the pork belly mac and cheese. Very rich andcreamy sauce. Loved the big pasta shells that were filled with the cheese sauce. Pork belly was crispy outside with super softinterior. Said it jalapeños and I saw green things in dish, but I couldn?t taste anything jalapeño and absolutely no hint ofspiciness. Update 4: spaghetti aglio e olio. Simple dish with wonderful garlic and chili flake flavor. Total comfort pasta Read more
The cashier was friendly and nice. The sound system and music selection were horrible. The atmosphere was industrial and... unwelcoming. The tables were dirty. I had to clean the table myself. There were no dessert options. I ordered the rigatoni.There were a lot of pork pieces. The gravy was tasty. The rigatoni was overcooked. I will not go back. It's more of a take outplace. The interior is like Chipotle. They don't want you to stay. My companion loved the beer and my rigatoni dish. He agreedthat the music was too loud. Read more
Got the Chicken Parmesan Ravioli, meatballs and garlic bread. This place although small serves a big meal and it will not only... fill you up but tastes amazing! I will definitely visit this place again if my travels being me back to the Portland area! Read more
We have gone to Grassa before, but never has it been this good! When we went in the restaurant, there was great service. Within... 5 minutes of ordering, we received our Caesar salad. After another five minutes, our food arrived at our table. Our garlic breadwas garlicky, our Mac and cheese was cheesy, and our carbonara had the perfect balance of pancetta, egg, and pasta. While wewere eating, a steady stream of other customers arrived, and they were also served quickly. We are now full and contented, andwould fully recommend Grassa to anybody that likes pasta and quality food. 5/5 stars, would drive 2 hours just to go here again. Read more
Just about every meal except the butternut squash raviolis has pork as an ingredient. I asked for a meal without pork & they... suggested the clam pasta (it had a massive about of bacon in it). Maybe they thought bacon wasn?t pork? The mixed drinks werevery strong. 2 of us considered sending back 2 different drinks. Garlic bread was tasty and the pasta was cooked well. We?llstick to Lardo next time. Read more
We couldn't get into Oven and Shaker as they started a new policy of taking reservations, so we came here instead. The food is... just as good as their other locations. It's counter service and we got all of our items pretty fast. The Cacio E Pepe,Rigatoni, and Carbonara were delicious. The chopped salad was a bit over dressed and the bbq pork belly on the mac n cheese wasa bit too sweet for my taste. Other than that, we had a decent time and left full. Read more
Awesome food, some of the best pasta I have had. Great texture to the pasta and the sauces were very tasty. Also ordered... meatballs and that was great too. Went during lunch time on a Thursday and really not a lot of people. Parking in theunderground area was no problem. Can't wait to try some other dishes there. Read more
I?ve always been a fan of the fresh pasta at Grassa but I can now say I?m in love after having their new menu item - Corn... Agnolotti. The sweet corn and green salsa inside the pasta is surprisingly delicious and the shredded pork shoulder on top isfresh and high quality just like the meat on their other dishes. Everything on their menu until now has been Italian themed butthis new dish tastes like it belongs in a fancy Mexican / American place. Highly recommend! Read more
