Nice venue, people watching is fun too. The food was tasty and well presented, my slight issue is with portion sizes of some of the dishes - the pork chops were huge, and the cheesecake was so tall there was snow on the top. Staff were helpful and friendly. Extensive wine choices, maybe I'll be back one day to order the $1200 bottle of red. read more

Five of us visited Serratto for dinner. We ordered a Caesar salad, rigatoni, papparedelle, leg of lamb, and ravioli. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. For dessert, we had the NY cheesecake and a chocolate crumble. Delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant, while full, was quiet enough to encourage conversation. read more

Serratto has quickly become one of mine and my partner's favorite places for date nights. The food is delicious, from the Ken's artisanal garlic bread to the perfect ceasar salad, seasonal ravioli and incredible cherry crostata. The food is just so delicious. The staff are very attentive and just really sweet humans. We love Sadie and everyone there. Also, shoutout to them for making their space so accessible!! It's very appreciated. read more

Went for a business dinner or a group of six. Great environment, wonderful service, and the risotto with scallops was as good as it gets.

Excellent first visit to Serratto last night as we met a friend that we had not seen for many years. We were in the restaurant for 3 1/2 hours, but Chad never rushed us, and we enjoyed our experience fully. We started with a Maker's Mark Manhattan, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and San Pellegrino. All were excellent. Then we did have the appetizer that has been mentioned often as being very good...it was. The Ken's Artisan Garlic Ciabatta Bread was so darn good. We all enjoyed it immensely. Our friend and my wife split the Butter Lettuce. Again it was quite good. I had the French Onion Soup. It was one of the best I have ever had. For our main courses, our friend had the Seared Sea Scallops, my wife had the Ravioli and I had the Pappardelle. Incredible flavors and preparation. Chad was knowledgeable and quite engaging throughout our visit. The food was enjoyed with a perfect bottle of the 2020 Syrah. A perfect accompanient. Thanks Serratto for providing us a memorable evening. read more

Haven't eaten here in quite a while, and since our favorite restaurant that used to be next door burned down, we decided this was the next best thing for a nice night out in our neighborhood. There were some positive experiences but not enough to draw us back in the future. We had reservations and were greeted by an aloof staff member. Zero interest in smiling or making us feel welcome. Later, when they brought us our cocktails, I indicated I had the vodka martini to avoid confusion since my husband had gin. They just frowned at us, waved their hand dismissively, and set the drinks down without a word. Our cocktails and wine were excellent, but the food was mediocre at best. My husband had the bouillabaisse. The broth was bland and some of the seafood was overcooked and chewy. I had the beef tenderloin which was a bit overcooked and tough. The root vegetable gratin was undercooked and not enjoyable so I didn't eat it. The mushrooms and jus were a nice addition but there was very little of both. This entree was $44. Harumph. Dessert was a chocolate olive oil cake. It was fine - nothing to write home about. At least our wait person was as we would hope. Friendly and engaged but not pushy or intrusive. They seemed genuinely interested in us having a good experience. Alas, this is not enough to warrant a repeat visit. read more

The staff were outstanding, but I didn't find the happy hour menu up to the standard of years ago. Ken's bread is usually a great idea anywhere, but it shouldn't be presented like something you'd get at Pizza Hut and that's what I found here. The chile shrimp and caesar salad were equally uninspired in their own ways. It wouldn't take a lot to get things back on track, and I think Serrattos survival might depend on it. read more

We ordered three courses split between the two of us. Instead of a dish with two place plates for us to divide up, each dish was arranged on two plates as if we had ordered two half portions. First was the beet and fennel salad: perfectly cooked cubed and chilled beets, smooth, tasty with a mild vinaigrette dressing, probably the best cold-served beets I have ever eaten, topped with shaved fennel with its own mild but flavorful dressing. The dish was magnificent. Next was a dish of Chili Shrimp, a bit spicy fort my taste but very well prepared. Finally, a perfectly prepared Pappardelle with stewed beef in a cream sauce, hot and perfect. Service was exact and friendly and added to our enjoyment of the meal. Tables are a bit close together, but the well-appointed dining room was not full and quiet enough for us to chat in a normal voice. This was a most enjoyable meal. You should come to, but save a table for us. read more

Love this place. The service is always great, food is fabulous, and the ambience is our favorite. Every year we go here for anniversary and have never had a bad experience. I like the changing menus and quality of food. The prices are not unrealistic and the drinks are great. read more

Atmosphere: Nice classy but not stuffy atmosphere. Open and bright enough room. Food: We enjoyed the food we had, although the Osso Bucco was a little bit sweet. The bolognese was very good. Price: Price was reasonable for sit-down Italian Service: Overall pretty decent service. Waitress was better than the bartender Parking: They have a valet lot for $7 but you're better off just finding street parking. Some people complain it can be challenging but my gf lives nearby and I don't typically have too much issue. read more

Serratto - Seared Sea Scallops, came with 3 - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Walked in and this place was packed and super busy during dinner time. We were going in sit in the bar but they didn't have any tables open that could seat a party of 3. The hostess said there was a couch upstairs that we could sit at that had a table but that the seats were low. We ended up sitting there because we didn't want to wait 40+ mins for a table. Service was okay. Our waiter was nice. The food was amazing. We loved everything we ordered. Lots of flavor and perfectly cooked. A bit spendy for such small portions. read more

This is a lovely space with really great food. The olive oil cake stole the show- and the staff were 100% balanced in attention to detail as well as making us feel welcome and appropriately fed. read more

Overall, great experience I really enjoyed the pasta. I kinda wish I had my friends chicken dish. It looked that good. The dessert was great. I had a bite of the chocolate soufflé. I believe with some vanilla ice cream it's chocolate who doesn't love a good chocolate the bite of crème brûlée I had was enjoyable. My total was about 44 bucks and I enjoyed my evening. read more

I gotta say I trust most Yelp reviews wholeheartedly and was cautious coming here for bday girl's dinner. If you are not 4.5+ with 300+ reviews it makes me dig into it more. For some reason Serrato's reviews seem to be more mixed than most. But the bday girl wanted French onion soup and the reviews on that were good and it is indeed spot on... The running theme for all the choices we made was 'wonderfully seasoned, not overly salty, soft proteins, pappardelle stroganoff was velvety creamy, as was the risotto, and osso bucco was wonderfully large and tender.' We communicated 'family style' and the response was on point. Multiple eating plates, multiple silverware with the entrees, the burger was even sliced 4-ways to sample. I was impressed with the attention to detail. The two nitpick is they could come back a bit sooner when it was very apparent everyone was done and maybe wanna see the dessert menu. We had to flag the staff. The second is the persistent reggae music... I love raggae, but not every song for 60+ minutes. Throw a little jazz in the mix... read more

Serratto - Beef short pasta - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

People keep saying Portland is a city of food! Well not to me! I only give them 3 stars because of wine, design and service. Staff were very well trained and professional, but the food was very disappointing. Garlic bread was very average to low. Bread was super dry and not fresh. French onion soup gave heartburn to me and the pasta was super basic with nothing exciting in recipe. Overall I only enjoyed the wine and arts on the wall. read more

Serratto - Radiatore bolgnese and ciabatta - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We went for a Saturday night dinner. It was my friend's go to spot for a while. I love love love the French onion soup and was willing to burn my tongue to eat it!! Highly recommend! We also ordered the fries which were yummy with the aioli. I ordered the radiatore which was really good but came out lukewarm unfortunately. When I reheated it at home it was amazing! You can taste the freshness of the pasta. I would totally come here again for a nice family or friend dinner. It's a moderately fancy spot with intimate lighting. They also have private seating available for parties. Everything looked really delectable and the service was attentive. Kindly note they have valet parking for about $7 around the block. read more

I can't even with Serrato! Probably the BEST dining experience In My life!!! Me and my friend were just driving around and we saw the big rack of wine and was like "Oh ya!" So we went in not knowing what it was and had the most amazing experience! They closed in 20 mins and we didn't even know. And they still welcomed us and fed us and was so accommodating! I was just blown away!! Erin our server was the best she was like being treated to food and drink from a good friend. Eric the bartender made one of the best martinis I've had in Portland! Not vermouthy and even had little icey chips but not too much to overpower. The perfect ratio. 10/10! The rest fo the staff was even fun and talked to us. We are now life long customers for life! My new favorite dining experience in all of Portland. The food was also to die for!! I have been dealing with trauma and also on Ozempic so I eat barely 3 bites of food a day. I ate so much, the most I've eaten in months. The food was that phenomenal! My friend ate his entire plate of pasta! Just wow! Also the best French onion soup I've ever had! You will come here and feel like family and have some of the best food and wine in Portland! This place blows expectations! read more

Service: a tad awkward, the server was sort of hovering but didn't approach. Our service took a tad longer than expected, but it was alright since it was NYE and we were in good company with friends. Nothing was really STELLAR, but I would give it another try for the happy hour servings. Our total was short of $350 for table of 4. We indulged in the Caesar salad, tuna tartare, shrimp Chile, a bottle of red, lamb osso buco, steak, and ravioli. The salad was a salad. Tuna tartare was good with a surprising egg salad dish sandwiched within the tartar with potato chips for the vessel. Chile shrimp was ok - buttery, spice Lamb osso buco was super tender The steak we had ordered medium rare but when it came it was medium well The ravioli was great, and it was a favorite dish with this diner whom had dined here prior. Since I cannot give half stars, the 4 star bump was for the ambience, generous space arrangement, and location. Will give it another try. read more

Waitress was nice but giggling oddly every time she came to table giggled the whole time Burger bun dry even with bbq and aioli still dry We were party of four and all of our plates had off items Veggies were raw raw Dirty martinis were licorice in flavor overwhelmingly And the girls who cleared plates was grumpy faced and bothered to be told were the food she brought to table belonged to who and rolled her eyes as she stepped away And to top it off the dessert had what appears to be a short black hair chest or pubic I was there for a return trip from my wife and mine 20year anniversary we had our first date here Sorry to say it will be our last date there. read more

We've been to Serratto a number of times. We like the space quite a bit and the food as well as the service are always, very good. Last night was no different. We had a server named Tony for the first time. He was knowledgeable, very, very pleasant, and engaging. He added to the overall experience. I highly recommend Serratto. read more

We had the best time at Serrato, thanks to our attentive and skilled server Erik. He gave us great recommendations for the food, which was delicious He was present just the right amount and not too little or too much. We live nearby and have missed this gem until now. But wow, we are excited to go back. Thanks Erik, and Serrato! (Food highlight for me- kale salad with cherries!) read more

I was sorely disappointed when we celebrated my boyfriend's birthday at this modern Italian - American restaurant. We made a reservation a week in advance noting we were celebrating a birthday. Our service took 15-20 minutes before bringing water or checking in on us and even when we mentioned it was a birthday, there was no enthusiasm about celebrating. We were also wedged between two tables-- one complaining the entire time and another with young children. We had several cocktails which made me uncomfortable to drink and enjoy within 2 feet of young kids. For the food, the portion sizes were lack luster. The pasta was the only redeeming dish, but it was a basic rigatoni. There was no gluten free pasta option which was shocking considering every similar restaurant in the area now has 2-6 options. The scallops and shrimp were over cooked slightly so they were tad cold and chewy. At the end we wanted dessert but our waitress was nowhere to be found so we just asked for the check and headed out. I don't think I'll be in again with so many other great Italian options in the area, especially at this price point. The atmosphere seems endearing but our experience was cramped, uncomfortable, unattended to, overpriced, and underwhelming. read more

Serratto - Rigatoni, Shrimp, Seared Sea Scallops - Italian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Apparently this is one of my boyfriend's favorite place so I decided to take him on a date here. I give it a 4/5 because the service was kinda slow and there were flies everywhere. At one point it landed in my wine and it had to be replaced. I do keep in mind of the short staff. There's a parking lot designated so you don't have to look for street. On to the food... French onion soup.. very flavorful 5/5 Cesar salad.. can't go wrong 5/5 Pappardelle: lots of flavor 4/5 Tenderloin: the meat was cooked to perfection, but sauce was a bit overpowering with salt 3.5/5 Creme brûlée.. can't go wrong! 5/5 I liked our waiter. He was attentive. Overall, it's a cute spot for date night, celebrations, or just to hang out. The wine flight was fantastic for the price! read more

Great happy hour options with food and drink. A family favorite. Four of us ate and drank and bill was just under $100. Great service. Delicious Caesar salad. If you eat meat the burger is a hit. Good happy hour drinks include comso and lemon drop. Serratto - many families are made of various types of dietary needs...please add a hearty vegan option to the HH menu. Pleeeease. Thx for the consideration. read more

TLDR: Skip the pizza and go for the pastas! Started off with the Garlic Bread which was delicious but a bit on the oily side. The risotto was creamy and perfectly cooked. The pizza was doughy and a bit of a disappointment but the pastas were unique and very tasty. The crème brûlée was a great way to round out the meal. I highly recommend a trip to Serratto! read more

10/10. Yummy and good service. If u go here you will NOT regret it. ABSOLUTELY DELICHUS

I'm not the biggest fan of Italian food but this restaurant was not bad. I did think it was kind of cramped aka the tables were all pretty close together. They had salt on the table in an open container which is kind of strange as multiple people may grab at it because of salt bae craze. My painted hills burger was not bad actually with the meat being cooked to rare like asked. The pizza was pretty flavorful and the cream corn pasta had a sweet flavor. That being said, the food and atmosphere wasn't quite my cup of tea but that's just my opinion. read more

Beet salad was ok, not a lot of taste to it. The seared sea scallops also were very bland tasting and over priced I thought.

Firstly, recommend a reservation. Tuna tartar was absolutely delicious! The scallops were cooked to perfection and house made raviolis in pesto was full of deliciousness! Love the relaxed atmosphere. read more

Every aspect of Serratto is top notch. They take their time with ambience and the dining experience is made far more special as a result.

Easily the best meal we had in Portland! The restaurant has a nice and warm ambiance and the staff was very helpful. We loved our server Tony, who was informative, attentive, and fun. We started the meal with splinting a kale salad. The addition of apples was perfect. The cherries were subtle, not too tart, and didn't over power the salad. The dressing was perfectly coating the salad, but it wasn't wet. And we appreciated that the kale was actually slivered rather than the usual chunks. The attention to detail was great. I then had the duck, and my fiend and the spaghetti with shrimp. While the duck skin was crisp, would have liked for it to be more crispy, so there would be more textural differences in the dish. Still tasted delicious, as did the spaghetti, though it had a tad too much dill. For dessert we had the bitter chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and the blueberry lemon curd tart. The bitter chocolate was indeed deliciously bitter with the ice cream perfectly offsetting. The tart was a bit disappointing in execution: the curd was not set such that when eating it didn't bleed out of the case onto the plate. And the tart pasty was very thick and tough, so was challenging to eat. Was still delicious though. All in all, glad we shared a bottle to blanc de blanc to toast the meal and our time in Portland. read more

The Radiarte (I believe that's how you spell it) with pork, lamb, and fresh pasta was great in texture, taste, and quality. My friends ordered the two other pasta dishes and they were delicious, especially the pesto. Our server, Alejandro, was kind and joking around with us; he made our night special. Bomb music in the place!! I've been listening to a lot of these songs with my dad since I was younger and it brought back a lot of nice memories. I'd come here again and order more if I had more money. read more

Can't recommend this restaurant. The "happy hour" is secluded to one area of the restaurant. So you can't order happy hour unless your sitting in that specific area. It would have been nice for the hostess to explain before seating us, especially since it was a first time visit. It's too bad, the food from the reviews looked great, but first impression was a turn off. Fortunately, there are many great places to eat and enjoy in Portland. read more
