Decided to stop in to celebrate 20 years of wedded bliss ... so happy that we did! Street parking so be prepared for that, lots of spaces within a reasonable distance. Spinach/artichoke app - soft pillowy bread, nice creamy dip. Good garlic flavor! Chicken pesto with artichoke - rich and flavorful, grab the side of garlic bread for $2.5 as it's the perfect accompaniment! Artichokes were a little aggressive in flavor and texture, not my favorite. Staff was friendly and things moved quickly! read more

The meatballs here are delicious! We came with a large group and they were able to accommodate us immediately, as the restaurant wasn't quite busy. I got the meatball appetizer and garlic bread - the meatballs were super soft and flavorful, and the sauce was also delicious. The garlic bread on the other hand felt like it was lacking some flavor and wasn't really well toasted. We also got the tiramisu for dessert which was quite delicious. We were a little shocked that they charged us for a small cake after we asked if they did anything special for birthdays, and they agreed. read more

After a much longer drive down from Seattle than originally expected, I was in need of a good meal. I saw the ratings for Pastini were good and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did, as it had a wide variety of different options available. In the end, I opted for the Bolognese with a side of Parmesan garlic bread. The food was excellent! However, the parking lot right next to the restaurant is a little confusing on how to pay with the app. If possible, I'd recommend parking on the street. Despite this, I was able to use the pay-by-phone option without issue. read more

I am gluten free and this is one of the few chains I feel safe eating at. They have lots of options and boil the GF pasta in separate water. The service is great and Alfredo delicious! And the lunch special is a great deal at $14. read more

Pastini - Gluten free Alfredo and Cesar salad lunch special. - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Food was tasty. We had the bruschetta, and I ordered a special pasta, which was rigatoni and porchetta, with a sage cream sauce. The porchetta was a little too salty for me, but overall it was good. I had a strawberry balsamic soda, and the table shared several desserts. The cookie with gelato was the best, we thought, and the ice cream that came with the chocolate tartufo was better than the cake itself. The tiramisu was fresh, though not the best I've had. Overall, worth going, would go back. Ambiance is noisy, good for groups, not the sort of place I'd want to go for a quiet date. Service was polite and attentive enough. read more

Stopped in here for a weekday lunch- excellent value, great food and warm service. I had the tomato basil soup and the linguine al Gorgonzola, and added chicken to it for extra protein. It was wonderful! The lunch special was $13 and you got a huge choice of entrees, plus either garden salad, Caesar salad or cup of soup. They have daily specials and it was "wine Wednesday" half off bottles of wine so I went with the Pastini Bianco- it was light and very refreshing, but not sugary or sweet. My table mate got the carbonara and tomato soup, as well as a dessert to go and she loved it all too. The host and wait staff were kind and personable, made it a really inviting atmosphere. It is going to be hard not to come here everyday I'm in town!! I want to try more of their dishes!! read more

The carbonara was downright delicious. Very nice place with great food and drinks. Would recommend to anyone. read more

This was the first time I had food delivered from here. It was very very good! I had the Spaghetti Carbonara w/chicken. The chicken pieces were tender & flavorful. The sauce was tasty, & the pasta was cooked to perfection. Plus my portion was huge! I also ordered the Tiramisu & it was just ok. I will definitely eat here again! read more

Mmmm! The pasta here is incredible. I had the braised short rib ravioli with a butter marinara sauce. The Parmesan bread was so good that we ordered double. The service for our group of 6 was great. It's a great neighborhood restaurant but not lots of parking. read more

We ordered takeout and it was delicious! It was so good that we barely got pictures as we dug in so quickly. We plan on coming in for a sit down dinner soon. Definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

We came in from out of town and had the server Leah. The food was amazing but not as amazing as Leah! She was so nice we laughed and talked throughout the whole service. She gave us tips on the city and made us feel so welcomed. I would come to this place just because of her. If you want a nice and fun experience ask for Leah! read more

I had very high hopes here but received fettuccini Alfredo that quite literally had no taste. The linguini with shrimp and the shrimp tasted incredibly fishy and like they had turned. The noodles were so soft they took on a mushy capacity. read more

Ragu recipe has changed. Used to be passable. Now it's dry and flavorless. Apparently dogs (not service dogs, just pets) are allowed inside. Idiot seating people has no clue. It's already empty with more people working than there are customers. Staff are the dregs. Time to out the last nail in the coffin and close this nasty outpost of this mediocre chain. I couldn't be more disappointed and dissatisfied by this place. You've been warned. Stay home and heat up a can of ragu sauce from Safeway and it will have more flavor. And the. You wont be subjected to the insult of the service here. read more

Food was great. But the staff was openly talking shit about me because I was writing my own recipes in a book I brought with me.

This restaurant was a great place to eat great food. The inside is clean and looks good, the waitstaff is wonderful, and the food is 10/10.

pastini is usually good but the last few times I've gotten spaghetti and meatballs there is hardly any marinara tomato sauce. It is a complete rip off and should just be called noodles and meatballs at this point. I've raised this concern to them before and they responded telling me that I would need to pay more for extra pasta sauce. Do not order the spaghetti and meatballs. it's a complete Joke! read more

We frequent Pastini quite often and enjoy the food very much. The service is always spot on, so I would recommend them very much.

This was my first time at Pastini's and it was delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals. I'm anxious to try different things on their menu. Service was great our server was polite and accommodating. We were there on a Sunday evening, so fortunately for us it wasn't super busy and we could get right in, there were 6 of us. read more

I ordered to go and was able to do so online. I was also able to pay for it which made it pretty easy and quick to pick up. This is located in an area where there is street parking. I ordered the papardelle with Bolognese and an order of garlic bread. The past does come with a couple small pieces of bread too. My food was ready when I got there and brought to me quickly. It was pretty busy in there. The dish was as very good! The garlic bread was just the right amount. Not too strong but still tasty! I enjoyed this!! read more

Oh em gee. I honestly felt like I was back in Florence for a minute at my fav pasta hole in the wall. The tagliatelle was perfectly cooked. The shrimp was amazingly seasoned. The lemonade was refreshing (even more so with the shot of vodka added lmao). Overall, 10/10 better recommend! read more

This local staple has it all: Ambiance, consistently good food, friendly staff. My personal favorite location is NE Broadway, but I have been happy to visit the other locations with similar positive experiences. The pasta is fresh, the selection of wines is excellent, and on occasion, I'll order a well-crafted Old Fashioned. Importantly, when I ask for my favorite preferences, the wait staff is always happy to help out, making the experience friendly, welcoming, and the place to go for my Italian cravings. Thanks Pastini! read more

The food was awful. The " Bolognese." Was tasteless large chunks of ground beef. The only thing I had that was OK was a cocktail.

*que me drooling before I even got here* The minute I saw the menu, I knew I wanted to go here. We went for lunch, but didn't even get the lunch options! It is a great deal though - for $11, you get a pasta and a soup or salad. The inside seemed like a chain, not super cozy or warm like an Italian restaurant should be, but we still enjoyed it. My husband and I both got a main entree of pasta with a Caesar salad. Both the salad and the pasta came with a slice of ciabatta bread, so we didn't need to order any bread! The side salad was a great size, especially for the price. As far as pasta goes, I got the cavatappi primavera with the Parmesan cream sauce. Great size and portion, with 2 pieces of bread. This meal was *chefs kiss*. I feel like restaurants say your pasta gets veggies and then gives you 1 pea, but this had so many veggies!! The amount of sauce was perfect too and it was not too creamy, which I was very glad about. I am not sure what exact pasta my husband got, but it had light sauce with basil and sausage and he loved it! Perfect spot to try in Portland. If we lived here, this would be a favorite! read more

We had a great time at Pastini recently and just wanted to share our experience. We had a family group on a VERY busy Friday night yet we were still seated quickly by the kind hostess. The vibe was upbeat and vibrant. Our server was exceptional and, without asking, offered our busy 2 yr old granddaughter fresh orange slices which kept her happy until the meal arrived (we are kicking ourselves for not remembering her name, we were there for dinner Feb 21). We ordered several cocktails that did not disappoint, and then the dishes which all were delicious (especially the ravioli), the salads were fresh and dressed perfectly. We opted for the house red wine and we loved it! Desserts are always special at Pastini and we recommend the tiramisu :) Dennis is an outstanding server and he remembered us from our last visit, he really made us feel special and we were so happy to see him again! This place is all about quality: the food, vibe and customer experience. We recommend Pastini wholeheartedly! read more

You may not be able to see all the wonderful pasta we enjoyed but it was amazing. Pastini is a classic Italian restaurant featuring some of the best pasta in PDX. Have you ever been to a place where everything on the menu was to die for and you can't choose just one? We'll....that's this place. Suffice to say we all settled on the lasagna and boy was it good. It had the perfect balance between cheese and sauce. It was hot right out of the oven. It was my wife's birthday. What a way to celebrate her day. read more

We ate at Pastini's again last night - always a delightful experience! Every time we visit Portland, we make it a priority to have dinner there. The food is amazing topped only by the wonderful staff. The pasta dishes are delicious, the salads are fresh and tasty, the desserts are decedent, and the house wine is great! (Be sure and get a bottle of wine to go for 1/2 price) Dennis was our server and he made our experience with our 2 yr old granddaughter over-the-top! We love this place! read more

I ordered from Pastini's GrubHub North East Broadway. I ordered the shrimp scampi which turned out to be a bowl of overcooked shrimp in oil and a bunch of fake garlic. Pre-chopped garlic in water I don't know why restaurants are doing this but that garlic is disgusting and they put a lot of it on their, way too much. I don't know if they think it's going to make it taste better or what, it doesn't. my partner had a Cobb salad, which was not that great either the ciabatta bread that came with the shrimp also tasted like it was on the verge of being moldy it had a funny taste. I do not want to pay for this poor quality food, zero presentation.Sad. Portland is no longer the food Mecca It was trying to be a few years ago. Start with fresh herbs and garlic if you use real garlic, you won't have to use as much. There wasn't even fresh parsley on the scampi. What tha? read more

Was craving sushi, but ended up here. Such a cute little spot with lots of restaurants around. We started off with the parmesan bread, which was pretty fire. I got the Linguini Pesto Pollo which had chicken. I loved it & finished it all. My boyfriend got the Five Cheese Lasgana with Meat Sauce which he also devoured it. I recommend this place if you're craving Italian! Indoor vibe is super cute too. read more

I had the linguini with shrimp scampi and it was so yummy. It was creamy and sour which is what I'm obsessed with. The service was top notch. Polite, communicative, and checked on us enough. The place is a cute little restaurant and feels homey. Limited seating and parking would be my only thing stopping me from coming in. read more
