Reviews for Pastini in Portland, OR
It's okay to good. The service was good. The food was good but not blow your socks off exceptional. We will likely go back. ... Kids loved mac and cheese and fedichini Alfredo. I didn't like the tip payment computer attached to the waitresses arm. Hardto fill out and adjust for tip. But good the electronics are installed. Read more
We were celebrating our granddaughter's 30th birthday and were given a free tiramisu after dinner. Seated near the kitchen so... the background of our family picture showed to-go boxes, silverware, dishes, etc. My salad was mostly salad greens. Ourgranddaughter's chicken Alfredo was good, as was my husband's lasagne. Read more
Good place for a relatively no-frills, very satisfying Italian meal. Nice selection of salads, pasta dishes (with meat or... vegetarian) and other Italian standards. Affordable wine list. Good service. This has been a go-to, easy answer when you don'twant to cook, for our family for years. Food to satisfy kids, adults and grandparents. Read more
Delicious food, excellent service. Brianna took care of my wife and me. Amazing scampi, pasta and cocktails. Have tried several... of the pastas, and they're all good. Tonight we saved room for tiramisu and coffee to end a lovely meal. Read more
Nice and tasty, friendly service. Air conditioned. Started with the parmesan bread and large Caesar salad. The bread wasn?t... that great, tasted a little stale but also soggy in some spots. Super weird. The Caesar salad was ok, mostly the bottoms of theRomaine rather than the nice green parts, and a little skimpy on the dressing, but they were generous with the cheese so I washappy about that. For the main meal I had the spaghetti con gamberetti. The menu indicated that the dish would be spicy, but itwasn?t. Our server brought out some extra chili flakes and I was able to spice it up a bit and take it from adequate to supertasty. Could have done with some more shrimp, but otherwise I found this dish to be very tasty and I would recommend it (withsome extra kick). My partner got the pappardelle with meat sauce bolognese. That, too, needed a generous dose of chili pepperto elevate the flavor. But once it was, it was very tasty. For dessert we shared the chocolate tartufo. The vanilla gelato wasabsolutely delicious! I could have done without the cake part, which I found kinda dry and uninspired. But my partner lovedit. Absolutely would eat here again. Read more
Great pasta dishes in a laid back atmosphere; perfect for a casual evening out. Our group of 4 was quickly greeted and sat. ... Service was fast and friendly (one of the few restaurants we've been to recently that seems fully staffed). Our waiter, Austin,even took the time to make some great local recommendations for the rest of our time in town. The food itself had generousportions and fair prices with excellent flavor and quality. Read more
The service was great-- my server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without hovering. The prices for pasta entrees... range between $12 and $18, so not ridiculous, and the portions are very generous. I had a light lunch's worth of leftovers totake home. Good spot for small groups and families, although they also made me feel quite welcome as a solo diner, too. Read more
The male presenting server was wonderful, I had a butternut squash ravioli with brown butter and toasted hazelnuts. Amazing! I... will be visiting again soon. Read more
