    Grilled Salmon Salad Plate

    Grilled Salmon salad, always the perfect lunch. And the employees are so friendly. Support local

    Salmon Salad

    Came at lunch rush. The staff are so efficient and friendly. Food is presented beautifully. Salad dressing was so delicious and tasted homemade.

    They were around the corner from my hotel and it was rainy so I walked over here to order one of the combo options that came with a gyro, side salad, and fries. Good price for the amount of food! And it wasn't heavy or greasy. Just the right amount. And tasty! I didn't wait long for my food either. Maybe 5 minutes. The staff was really nice too! It's a small space. A handful of tables. But it likely serves a lot of the workers downtown.

    Chef Special salad

    I was on a work trip here and this place was easily one of my favorite places to eat. I've eaten their salmon gyro plate twice now and tried their chef special salad today. Yummmm is all I can say. They cooked everything perfectly, and I love how large their plates are. All their employees are so friendly too. I wish they had a store back at home, but until then, I'll be looking forward to the next time I visit Portland so I can eat here again.

    Reliable (IMO) lunch spot tucked amongst the high rises of downtown Portland. Yea, it's a tiny space, kind of like a deli but more kitchen-y, carved into the bottom floor of a giant office building, but the food options are pretty diverse, with a full slate of salads, sandwiches, gyros, shrimp, occasional interesting specials like lamb shank, etc - that are surprisingly above par, and if you're pulling jury duty at the nearby courthouse, like we were, you'll be glad to have this place as a better destination than a food cart and with a fairly warm and comfy ambiance for an office bldg carve-out. Service is amazingly calm and friendly even during the lunch crush -- It gets super-crowded around noon when the office minions escape their cubicles --- and there is table seating but it's pretty limited. The gyro I ordered was super tasty and filling, and the price more than reasonable considering the portion size. Also, parking is super-tricky in this area (no surprise) but you're probably getting it validated anyway, right?

    It's not a large place, but I could tell from the aroma and the menu that the food was going to be good. Everything on their menu sounds good but I went with the gyro plate and a vanilla latte. The lady who took my order was super helpful and extremely kind in helping me to consolidate my order into the gyro plate. The food....best pita and hummus I have ever had! The gyros and the tzatziki sauce I could eat all day! The sale looked regular but the dressing on it gave it a unique taste, a bit of olive oil and lemon taste. The vanilla latte was average but I should have gone with my first gut and ordered a con panna. They do have a wine and beer menu that would go well with their oldies music....I enjoyed the James Brown and Marvin Gaye while I dined!

    Very busy restaurant near the river downtown Portland. I got the shrimp burrito and it was very filling and good. It came with a small salad. You walk in, try not to get confused by the gathering waiting to get their food to go and order at the counter, then seat yourself. Everyone was friendly. Reasonable prices.

    I want to try other things on the menu but I can't stop ordering this salad! Everything looks very fresh and the place is clean and the staff are very friendly. A great place to go for lunch.

    Gastro Mania is by far my favorite lunch spot in this area of town. I prefer GM to all of the national chains here and I prefer it to anything you can get at any of the nearby carts, food halls, and restaurants like Luc Lac for lunch. I typically gravitate towards their Salmon Plate. I love the squid ink rice that it comes with along with hummus, pita, and a side salad. The salmon is pan fried and pretty tasty and well cooked. Staff is friendly and quick and they've never gotten my order wrong in over 20+ visits. Gyros are pretty fantastic here as well.

    Awesome little spot in the Waterfront district in downtown Portland. Food was fresh and very tasty. Definitely recommend this place.

    Exterior view. Between Naito and 1st on Jefferson.

    Alright. I have visited more than my required three visits. This place is fantastic. Good service, very tasty food, made to order. Recommended any of the salads and the ćevapi. All of the people are friendly and helpful. The place itself is nice and clean, small but not crowded Five stars. Check it out, sez me.

    Chicken gyro and porchetta sandwich with fries outstanding!

    Great service and delicious food! Visited while in Oregon with my sister, who recommended this…read moreplace, and we even had the chance to chat with the owner, which made the experience even better. They're open on Mondays, which is rare since many restaurants are closed, so it was nice to try it before leaving. My sister ordered the spaghetti and cheese with two large meatballs, garlic bread, and the Chicago beef with Italian sausage, and both were great. The meatballs were especially delicious. I just wish more were included, though extras are available to order. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich which was very cheesey and flavorful. Afterward, we noticed you can add pepperoni and make it a "Chicken Parmeroni," which sounds like a better option. The large antipasta salad with balsamic vinegar was fresh and tasty, and it's nice that you can choose your dressing . I really love the antipasta salad! Overall, a really enjoyable meal and definitely worth recommending! Wish there had been time to try more of the menu.

    Let me start by saying I didn't take pictures. For anyone who reads my reviews, that's a big part…read moreof them: ALL THE PICTURES. Presentation, portions, half eaten, etc... but I didn't. Because the food was so damn good. Look - I'm going to start off by saying I grew up practically on The Hill. Out here, you'll have to Google it (make sure to add 'RI' to the search or you'll get some political BS), but back east, "alls you's have ta say" was those two words and anyone would know you knew your Italian, food and otherwise. There isn't anything on this coast that vaguely compares to The Hill's food, but walking into and biting out of Geraldi's was having a little piece of home. There's this little shop in the old town where the owner knew your voice when you called to order... you'd walk in, and you heard "hey cousin!" whether you were or not, and that's the vibe you get from Geraldi's. The food is much the same - you get something that looks like Nonna was at the range all day with her sauce (it's not gravy - no meat) and you came home looking like you haven't eaten in weeks: "I'm gonna fatten you up before you leave" and you walked out the door with a sub (sandwich, that is - not a submarine) that weighed the same as a newborn. We got three of those babies: a Chicago Beef (seal of approval from the orderer - only 'complaint' was that they had to eat it all in one day because the bread was quote too soggy to make it to lunch the next day - travesty), an Italian sausage (just as delicious when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and a Chicken Parmeroni (I thought somehow even better when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and I could have absolutely gone back the next day if it weren't for A. the leftovers 2/3 of us had and B. the meal planning we'd done for the week. I also grabbed a side of giardiniera because I will get it anytime I see it available and I inhaled it - I need to know if I can by it by the vat instead of the side cups because it too was similar to what I can find at home (about practically nowhere out here) and amazing!! I'm still upset I didn't take pictures though!
