    Trust me when I say this an Italian spot for true Italian food lovers. You won't leave feeling heavy and weighed this. Piazza is serving only the best pasta that feels straight from Italy. Reminded me of my travels. Grab a reservation if you can but not totally needed for a weekday night. The menu is very Italian. Don't expect chicken Alfredo, it's not there. Italian cuisine is very tomato forward. The staff are very kind (and speak Italian). The inside is very decked out in soccer jerseys. It's very cool. Come here for some light pasta that will make you happy.

    Flavor (5/5): Pasta here was on point! Perfectly cooked, pesto coated each noodle and the shrimp was juicy and not over done! I can see why this was marked as a favorite on their menu. Even one bruschetta as an appetizer was refreshing and bright with acidity. Instagram Worthy (4/5): Their ceiling hangs all these sport jerseys, very small restaurant but quaint. Their food presentation is also very simple but the food speaks for itself! Service (5/5): We called ahead to see if there was a wait on a weekend night and they told us not if we hurry up haha. Very classic Italian response. We got our orders taken and food car out promptly. They even threw in a free dessert for our friend's birthday. Takeaways: Street parking! Solid spot for pasta, one of our favorite meals this trip in Oregon.

    I cannot rave enough about this place. My husband and I were arguing over what to eat for dinner. We found this place and decided to give it a try. We were seated promptly despite it being a full house. The place was lined with soccer jerseys which quickly caught our attention (huge soccer fans), which made for great small talk. The food however, was like love on a fork. You did not want to stop eating. The pasta was cooked to perfection and the flavors combined so well it was pure comfort in every bite. We are already trying to decide what to get next time we come which I hope to be soon, like before the week ends soon! Don't pass up this place if you enjoy Italian food.

    I wanted to like this restaurant so badly. Some of the staff spoke Italian so I thought, surely, this is going to be so authentic. Ambiance: fun and very cozy Service: if I could give service 10 stars, I would. The staff was nice and accommodating to guests at tables we saw, including ours. They packed extra olive oil for the bread we took to go. Food: we order the Papardelle and asked to substitute the rigatoni bolognese pasta with the house made linguini pasta. Housemade, right?!? The sauce was solid. However, I was so disappointed that the pasta was over cooked. We went to several regions in Italy and no where did we taste pasta that was over cooked. The linguine looked like it was broken down to bits vs a longer strand.

    lol for the price I would say 4/10

    I'm from Spain traveling around USA I went to piazza Italia with my friends for dinner it wasn't good all the opposite it was bad idk what's the hype with this place I thought it was gonna be good because it's one of the few Italian restaurants that it has good reviews but no so if u have good taste and u like enyoing a good Italian place dont come here

    Piazza Italia is one of my favorite Italian restaurants. It's a small one, and is always busy so expect to be on a wait list. The good news is, they will give you call when your table is ready, and with so many bars nearby, you can stop and get a quick drink before dinner. I got the pappardelle al cinghiale which is my absolute go to. And it hits every time!

    Delicious pasta and great wine! Our whole group loved every dish. It's a small family-owned spot, so seating takes a bit, but it's absolutely worth the wait.

    Been going here since 2010 and I come here at least once or twice a year and the food just keeps staying the same, which is amazing because the flavors and the tastes are mouthwatering and it gives an explosion of the taste buds and they always keep top-notch quality here. I love that this is family owned by immigrants from Italy and has continued to be passed down and I hope this continues to thrive and be only in the hands of family. I love the traditional culture and the amazing food and wine selection. Great place great owner and if it's your birthday, you might get a free dessert. I'll keep leaving reviews until I get tired of this place, which will never happen the most authentic place in Portland and in my opinion, Oregon.

    Dearest gentle readers,…read more A most scandalous correction must be issued how careless of me. The establishment in question is none other than the divine Grassa, a name that now rolls off the tongue with the same richness as its most indulgent fare. And oh, what fare it is. Here, along the lively stretch of Portland, one may witness noodles brought to life before their very eyes fresh, authentic, and handled with a confidence that borders on audacity. These delicate strands are then enrobed in a mac and cheese so decadently composed, so brazenly elevated, that it dares to redefine comfort itself. And just when one believes it cannot be improved enter the pig belly. Crisp, tender, and unapologetically rich... a finishing touch that transforms the dish into something whispered about in only the most exclusive of circles. Yes, dear reader, this is the sort of indulgence that lingers long after the final bite... the kind that ruins lesser versions without remorse. And so, with that final truth properly set, I take my leave once more. The tales of this fair city draw to a close, but not without leaving behind a most delicious legacy. Until our next adventure ever eastward. Yours most faithfully,

    Visiting Portland and found this local chain of Italian restaurants. Everything we tried was…read moredelicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The sauces are flavorful. The food was freshly prepared and served promptly to the table. They have a selection of alcoholic beverages as well. You order at the counter so that could be a little time consuming and the food is served to your table. The seating is a mix of booths and communal tables. Definitely would visit again if the occasion arises.

    First time dining here, and the food was delicious. We went all out and ordered a caesar salad,…read morethree entrées, and two desserts. We shared all the items, and we were glad we did, so we got a little taste of everything. The raviolini and the cavatelli were tied for my two favorites, but I enjoyed everything we had.

The host and the servers were all very polite and attentive. I made a reservation online, and I was glad I did because the restaurant really filled up fast. I enjoyed the ambiance.

Top to bottom it was such a filling meal. For entrees my wife got the risotto and I got the chicken. Massive portions and again, delicious. For desert we got the tiramisu and the canoli- we were sooo full I felt like I needed to be rolled out of there. We will definitely be back and it was incredible.
