Reviews for Pastini in Tigard, OR
This was my first time at this restaurant. Our waiter was Tim, whom I highly recommend. He had 8 tables as they were short... handed. He had a large table who were constantly demanding in spite of all they tables he was responsible for. I enjoyed theartichoke dip and the bread was beyond good. They managed something with the bread that I haven't had before: toasted but softand warm. I got the Fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken. It was far better than Old Spaghetti Factor, but not as good as OliveGarden. The texture was fine but lacked some flavor and the sauce was runny. My husband got Spaghetti con Gamberetti. He lovedthe dish and felt the flavors and spices were well combined. Overall it was very pleasant atmosphere and enjoyable. Read more
Pastini is a solid Italian spot. It's one of the few places I've liked literally everything I've tried on the menu - spaghetti,... baked ziti, lasagna, ravioli - it's all great! Their garlic bread is probably the best I've ever had because it's not a crunchyovercooked brick. It's soft with just a bit of crunch. So good. Also, try their specialty sodas! The blood orange rosemary isincredible. They're reasonably priced, as well, and at this point I think they far surpass Olive Garden in terms of value. It'snot your hole in the wall authentic Italian experience but they're definitely my go-to for reliable, flavorful Italian foodaround the Portland area. They're consistent and the portions are sizable. The Bridgeport location is my favorite. Even whenthey're packed I've never had to wait for a table. Great date night spot with the movie theater just across the street. Read more
Great service. Their pasta is cheesy and oily. A small portion can fill you up easily.
This place is a constant in consistency and quickness. The food and service is always dialed in. Now, some will say that this is... not amazing Italian food, others will say that mall food is not good either. But, I disagree. I have been fortunate enough towork at Bridgeport from 2006-20014, and the one place that I would choose to eat at is Pastini. Malls can be packed, longlines, bad service etc etc. If you can give your name with the Host?they will text you when your time is ready. They have one ofthe best staff teams in the area. Isiah was our guy tonight and he was awesome. He was friendly, gave us great insight on themenu, gave us a chance to make our choice and when it was time to enter the order?the amazing chef team in the kitchen got thefood out to us in a flash. They serve a big plate, lots of food, so be ready to take some home. They pasta is perfectly cooked,the sauce and ingredients are flavorful and the drinks are delicious. I highly recommend the Baked Ziti, or the Spaghetti andMeatballs. The Chicken Alfredo is also super good with tender chicken and silky noodles. Im a fan, I like consistency. I alsoam one to return because of the service and the kitchen staff. Pastini is great at all three. Read more
It?s a cute place with a friendly staff and a fair amount of options (fish/meat/vegetarian/gluten-free). It was busy on Saturday... night but we were able to get seated within 15 minutes. The food was good, but nothing exceptional (it?s hard to make badpasta). Read more
This a great place for a family dinner. It's quite busy so buckle down for a lengthy wait time during the weekends. However,... once seated the service is efficient and the staff are very friendly. Also you must get a round of spumoni ice cream for thetable post dinner :) Read more
I am blown away by how good this place was. The ingredients were fabulous and they had vegan-gluten-free options. As someone who... is allergic to animal products and gluten, I can appreciate the options from the menu and the willingness of the staff to beaccommodating with it. As someone with these allergies, pasta dishes is hard to come by. When you walk into the restaurant, youcan notice the quality of the ingredients. All of the pasta smells as if it was made in house. When I was eating my glutenfree/vegan noodle, it was smooth (not grainy) with a nice soft texture and wonderful flavor. My fiance loved his pasta and dairybased sauce. We both took one bite and just paused for a moment to enjoy it. I highly recommend eating here. My feedback forthe restaurant, add more dairy free sauces to the menu and have a gluten free vegan bread option to go with the pasta. What ison the menu is fabulous and I will be back with or without the additions to the menu. Read more
