Grabbed breakfast at 7:30am and service was fast and friendly. The PDX to JFK breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, Tillamook cheddar on poppy seed bun) was very flavorful and a good medium size (neither small nor large). The bacon is very thin slice but has solid bacon flavor. My favorite part was the over easy egg had the yolk 80% cooked. Just like a great homemade sandwich. The seating area is lovely as well.
I'd had one of the other Grassa locations bookmarked for ages, so when we had to come to the airport a few hours before a flight, I was excited to finally get to check them out! My mom and I ordered a Caesar salad and garlic bread to share, then each got our own bowl of the Carbonara. We probably could've even shared the carbonara with everything else since the portions are pretty good and we weren't that hungry. The Caesar salad was fantastic with the preserved lemons and anchovies, I've been wanting preserved lemons on my salad again ever since I had them here a few months ago. The garlic bread was good and I'm glad we got it. The only thing I wasn't crazy about it was the pasta, I would get a different one next time. The pancetta was pretty fatty/greasy and I've had better carbonaras. I did like that it came with the fried egg on top though! The restaurant is located just past security, so it's pretty convenient no matter which gate your flight is at. They have seating in their immediate area, as well as other tables right out of what is technically there space.
Was happy to check this place out in the airport. It's one of our favorite places when visiting Portland. We always seem to make our way over there. This location was impressive and what they had to offer in such a small smaller space. Staff was extremely friendly as I had never had breakfast with them. They offered me descriptions and offered what their favorites were. It was delicious and I would definitely pick it up again if I am ever in the airport
Wow so yummy! Traveling home through PDX airport I spotted this place to eat at! Love Italian food and saw handcrafted pasta sign and was automatically drawn in. So glad I stopped. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs because of another review and I had a salad with me with no dressing so I asked for a little of the Caesar dressing which they did not charge me for and I tried the blueberry ginger lime. The guy taking the order was so friendly and caring about you and what you want. Very nice. You order and they bring it to you on china and with real silverware. There is a water station and to go boxes as well. The plate of food was piping hot and so delicious. I just came from Italy and know good pasta and meatballs! This is some good stuff! The drink he made homemade with syrups and ginger beer; just the right amount of everything. Was very delicious. The homemade Cesar dressing was the best I've ever had and I've tried a lot of salad dressings in my time! A must stop by and try something kind of place! I want to open one in my neighborhood! Way to go Grassa
GETTING HERE: Located inside the PDX airport REVIEW: As a non-frequent flyer, any food I eat whilst traveling is usually limited to chips and soda (ugh, gross, right?) - so color me stoked when I found myself tired, in a new airport, and hangry a few weeks ago and walked right by Grassa. OK, pasta? Bread? Very yes. It was late and much to my chagrin they had sold out of their garlic bread. Uhm, wha?! But, I was craving protein (better choice) and needed something quick and somewhat portable as I was heading to the exit. I ordered their meatballs and they were pretty good. Of course, they were served hot (win!) and I was able to eat them while walking. It took a bit longer than I had hoped for/expected, but overall that wasn't an issue because my protein was hot and very flavorful. Service was OK; nothing noteworthy. Ambience was a bit awkward IMO, but the seating was open and located right in front of the counter. Please Grassa, when I return to PDX next, save me some garlic bread.
Hats off to Grassa and to the Portland Airport for redesigning and refining what is possible for airport food. Grassa, of course, fits into the new mission of the Portland Airport: to highlight local vendors that run high quality Oregon businesses and exemplify the quirky, creative food and retail scene. That is an ambitious goal, but somehow they are managing to do it. And well. Grassa is a perfect ambassador for well priced casual local cuisine. The first location opened in SE Portland fifteen years ago. The quality of this spaghetti and meatballs order is on par with restaurant-quality food. Toothsome pasta, a good sauce, good pork meatballs and generous fresh parm. A positive casual dining experience with cooked to order pasta delivered to your table by helpful staff, and plated nicely. More like a restaurant-quality food experience than most currently offered in most US airports. Don't sleep on this.
Grabbed an Italian Flag sandwich for the road on my way to Vegas where all the restaurants close by the time I arrive. Taste was okay. Bread is softer than you expect so it's not the mouthful it looks like. I like the firmness of the cheese. Using roasted tomato sauce saves it from the sogginess of fresh and gives it a tang. Ambivalent right now if I would buy another one.
So glad Grassa opened at PDX! We always make a special trip to Grassa when we're in town, and now it's easier to get it twice. Love the Luke (spaghetti and meatballs). The service is fantastic, very friendly and down to earth. The eating area is clean and spacious. Can't complain about minor flight delays when it allows me to eat more Grassa.
Whatever Grassa location you dine at in Portland Oregon, you will have a great dining experience. My current favorite is the Carbonara with a fried egg on top. This Italian dish made from hand crafted pasta is so so scrumptious and filling. My preference is to pair it with a cold Draft Craft beer IPA. The service is always with a big smile and genuine hospitality.
I was so excited to see Grassa in the airport and it will now be my go to airport food! I got a Caesar salad and the black truffle papardelle. The salad was so fresh and I loved the anchovies on top. The pasta was also delicious and perfectly al dente. I dream of this meal and can't wait for my next trip to Portland!

This is Grassa at Portland International Airport. I ordered fresh house-made pasta and an Arnold Palmer. The pasta was incredibly fresh and very tasty. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. I'll definitely see you again next time read more
I was happy to see Grassa at PDX. I usually get the Rigatoni or Pork Belly Mac & Cheese at the other locations, but I wanted to try a different pasta dish. I enjoyed the Black Truffle Parpadelle (4 stars), and I would order it again. I liked the texture of the parpadelle noodles that was coated with just enough of the delicious buttery sauce. The black truffle flavor was balanced and not overwhelming. The service was 4 stars. My food seemed to be ready faster than the 15-20 minutes they mentioned when I ordered. It's a good spot if are already a Grassa fan or dining before your flight out of PDX. read more
Seeing an airport carbonara had me a little skeptical but it was surprisingly not bad. It's not the most traditional one with the egg on top, but it was still pretty delicious. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get some carbs before a flight. Lots of seating and free water as well. read more

I wasn't very hungry, but when I saw the grassa at the pdx airport, I had to stop for some fresh pasta. Prices are amazing for an airport, pdx has done a great job. The pasta does take a bit to be prepared so not a good choice if you're in a hurry, but if you have an extra fifteen minutes, this is a restaurant worth stopping by. The restaurant has a nice seating area and it feels very high end for an airport restaurant. The fresh pasta from grassa is always amazing and the airport maintains the quality of their standalone restaurants. read more
I was BLOWN away when I tried the spicy fusilli with vodka sauce. It comes with sausage as well.. you can tell it's all home made and made with love. Being from NJ I couldn't believe my tastebuds especially in the airport. Not pictured is garlic bread which comes with two mini half baguettes - soo good and you need if you plan to enjoy all your sauce! The staff was also great with their recommendations - I really enjoyed this spot and can't wait to go back read more

Was very hungry after my flight. Grassa has hand crafted pasta and the dish was amazing. Fantastic taste and price of 12$. read more
Super comfy yet refined place to grab a bite and chill before or after boarding your flight in Terminal D (note: you have to go through security to get here.) The lighting is lovely, with tall ceilings and warm wood features in this recently redesigned wing of the airport. I only had a drink here - no food - but stayed longer than expected just because it was such a nice vibe. Counter service with friendly folks to help you out, too. Wine, beer and cocktails. read more

Working at PDX, I eat here often--and Grassa is easily one of the best spots in the airport (right after Oven & Shaker!). The customer service is always amazing: friendly, fast, and welcoming every time. All of the dishes are tasty, but the Pork Ragu is on another level--rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. What impresses me most is the consistency. No matter the day or time, the food and service are always top-notch. Grassa never misses. Highly recommend read more
Delicious fresh pasta in an airport in the Pacific Northwest before you fly? 1000% yes. A simple menu, it offers a little bit of something for everyone. Their handcrafted pass is as advertised. Fresh delicious and tasty. I myself had the rigatoni and it was a very excellent dish. Their drink prices are very reasonable, and their syrups are made in house. Honestly, where else can you get an experience like this in an airport. The cherry on top is the really good service and friendly vibe. I actually feel like I'm not in an airport here. Definitely stop by if you're hungry! read more
Spaghetti Aglio Olio...FANTASTIC! People sitting next to me on a10 hour flight to Frankfurt might not agree but for $10... it's got to be the best deal in the airport! Perfectly dense chewy noodles... with a light creamy sauce... washed down with a pint of oatmeal stout! I should be able to get a nap on this flight! read more

Seeing grassa right after TSA will make anyone's stomach growl. My cousins and I love grassa at other locations so I was skeptical about the airport quality. I was proven wrong when the pork belly Mac and cheese came out restaurant quality from their full kitchen. It was super hot and seasoned like I remember. There's a kiosk to order and the price is fair for airport food. It definitely will be my go-to airport meal in the future. read more
Turns out I was at the airport very early on this Tuesday. TSA was super fast. Now I had time. Walking to my gate I saw Grasa. I love this place. I eat it the one at the Vancouver waterfront often. Decided to stop in and get some pasta. I like the Black truffle Pappardelle/) So delicious. Perfect amount of truffle. I have eaten many of the items on the menu. Love their Caesar salad as well and the meatballs Yum Yum. I've never had anything not extremely tasty here. First time at the airport location. It did not disappoint. read more
Grassa at the airport before your flight? PDX and Grassa are stepping up their game serving travelers with unique and tasty foods from Portland. I'm a fan! I remembered the first time I had Grassa while in Portland, years ago. I remembered it being good. So, during our flight back, we saw Grassa and decided to try. It was as good as you can get for airport restaurants. The service was friendly and quick--although you bus your own tables. Self serve water to the side. Remodeled decor just outside of Concourse E, the food and drinks looks like what you'd get at one of the Grassa restaurants in the city. We ordered the Mac & Cheese and Carbonara. Both were very good. It seems as if the other dishes and their drink selection would not disappoint. read more

As a former Portland resident, I was excited to see Grassa added to PDX near the D/E wing split. It's just as delicious as getting it at one of the original locations! It's also quick and convenient, you can order to go or stay and sit. They also have a full bar as well! read more
