    8" personal pizza
    Stephen K.

    I came to Naso to see one of my favorite jazz duos perform, and am very impressed! The interior is BRIGHT (almost too bright due to the entire storefront being mostly glass), modern, warm, and inviting. The interior is meticulously clean and spotless. There are tables, bar seats, and a loveseat right up by where the performers perform. Service is incredibly personal and helpful! I'm not a wine drinker at all, and was very happy to see a great selection of non-alcoholic beverages, including "BNF" brand kombucha. The incredibly helpful person who took care of me the whole night warned me in advance that the komucha I selected was very high in caffeine, which was very thoughtful and appreciated! Food is far better than expected! I was concerned that the 8" pizza would be too small, but it wasn't. It is THICK, and VERY tasty! There are three varieties available, and I opted for the spicy sausage, pesto, and cheese based on the recommendation of my hostess. The pizza was very fresh, very unique, very flavorful, and surprisingly filling. The only downside has nothing to do with the venue itself, but rather its neighborhood. Parking is TERRIBLE! I wound up having to park several blocks away as the only available parking is street parking, and all nearby spots were occupied when I visited.

    charcuterie for one
    Betsy G.

    Was looking for a dark and brooding atmosphere with great wine and great music and TADA! It's within walking distance of my house. I came solo early on a Thursday so got to enjoy the whole place to myself. Service was great, 'charcuterie for one' was a nice accommodation for single patrons and I really enjoyed my glass of wine.

    Very cool spot. Went to see a family member's band here this week, and it was wonderful. The space is small, but, so charming, and don't think the word is out yet, so a great time to go. Everything and I mean everything is intentional. From the drinks, food and glassware to the incredible custom wood bar top, and even the restroom that has an almost hidden wood door, flush to the wall. Staff is great here, friendly and even placed our bottle back into the cooler to keep cold. And, I would totally go with a bottle here is in a group or just alone, as you can take it with you. And, a fantastic Rose for $30?! Amazing! Oh, absolutely one more thing, the large trees out front perfectly shade the outdoor space, so on a 80 degree or more day, it's cool and shady. Didn't get to try the pizza or flatbread, it looked so good, as they ran out, but next time!

    A beautiful night, despite...

    An over-served patron screamed a racially charged troll at me, twice while I was attempting to taste my rosé. Being a minority in Portland, America leaves one susceptible to racist trolling bordering on actual racism. When you scream 'we don't serve your kind around here' twice to the only brown man in the room, is it racism, or just a joke? If the attacker is a 70 year old woman? The real tragedy is the bartender ignored it. Granted, she was (cliche warning) young and inexperienced with the social nuances of patrons who have had too much to drink, and the history or segregation and racial exclusion in white public spaces ie wine bar. Rosé, average. Racism, both overt and complicit: shockingly over the top, and all of Hawthorne suffered in my book because of it. It hurts to say.

    Delicious Baked Brie with figs on flatbread

    Today we saw a great review of a new place on Nextdoor, so we checked it out. Their focus is on Italian wines, while still appreciating our regional Oregon and Washington wines. The charcuterie board and flat breads were delicious. The ambiance is great for a first date or becoming a regular, which we hope to do. One of the owners, Emma, pays attention to the minute details. We'll be back this weekend for some live music.

    A short walk from our house we decided to try NASO. An intimate setting with a quiet live musical background. The pizza was perfect. The tin fish charcuterie was also very good. Definitely coming back. Scot Abplanalp.

    Watermelon salad with focaccia and a lovely glass of bubbles.
    Tracy R.

    What a delightful surprise! I stumbled on Nosa this week and decided to stop for a dinner salad and glass of champagne. Both were delicious. Luckily, they have bottles for purchase so I bought a champagne to bring to a friend. Two days later I returned and found myself equally charmed and impressed with the food and found the intentionality and effort that the owners put into their bistro/wine bar so refreshing. Looking forward to returning.

    Lastly the service is extraordinary, Emma's wine knowledge is insane along with her mind blowing palette for pairings.

    Bar Vivant is a lovely spot for truly authentic tapas, and a large selection of drinks to go with…read morethem. Being able to get anchovies in vinegar, ham croquettes, and a Belgian beer takes me back to some of my favorite travel experiences, and the Pix Patisserie dessert options continue to provide a thrill. I have two quibbles that keep me from adding the fifth star - the Tortilla Espanola (closer to an egg and potato frittata than a Mexican tortilla) is served with a drizzle of red and a white sauces. A well made Tortilla (and this one is very nicely done) doesn't really need any embellishment. I'll try to remember to ask for the sauce on the side next time. The second issue I have is that the servers didn't appear to have received enough training to do justice to the things on the menu. Bar Vivant has a lot of wonderful offerings, enough of them that they really deserve better descriptions and recommendations. Between the drinks, the savory and the sweet options, this is a very special place.

    I Love this little gem! They have beers, cocktails and such, but their specialty is most…read moredefinitely their Sherry selection and tapas. Bar Vivant is a place where you can get more than just Sherry, you get an education about the differences, variations and Spaniard regions where the sherry is cultivated. If you are into Sherry Wines, then this is the place for you. It's a "low-Key" spot with a sense of Romanticism. They have a beer garden that serves as a temporary escape from hustle and bustle. The chill vibe allows for you to take your time, sip on your sherry while trying the different tapas, such as pulpo, sardines, ham, croquettes and much more. If you are in the mood for a good dessert with your sherry, well, you are in luck because Bar Vivant is like a "two-for-one". The restaurant shares it's space with Pix Patisserie, the only place in Portland where you should purchase Macaroons! Because it is a chill spot, the service is chill as well. If you are in the area, waiting to be called for a table, I recommend you stop here while you wait.
