Enoteca Nostrana

Atmosphere: Classy, semi-dimmer atmosphere. Intimate if you bring a date.Food: Everything was excellent. The pasta was fantastic, pizza was good (although I didn't like that they refused to cut it into slices and instead give you scissors to butcher it yourself)Price: Not the cheapest but we went on their anniversary when they had their happy hour menu all night, which was the way to go. The happy hour is good.Service: Service was good. Friendly staffParking: There is a parking lot but being close to my apartment I just walked.

This place continues to produce consistently good food with good vibes. The outdoor patio is nice with the warmer weather these days. The parking lot is a plus! Although it is a small lot compared to the restaurant capacity, but better than nothing. This time we sat in the bar next door and enjoyed the happy hour menu. $12 for a whole pizza on the happy hour menu. Service is great.

Fuoco!! Deliciousness in every bite! Conveniently booked on Open Table. We got there a bit early, before they opened. So we got a drink across the street at Crush. Fantastic experience from start to finish. We sat on the wine bar side - at the bar top. I highly recommend sitting on this side - especially on a date. They had Happy Hour items to choose from as well. We got the Focaccia & ciabatta Nostrana - Yum! The Insalata Nostrana - I could have had this as my meal. Fresh flavors and crispy croutons to compliment. We both split the Paglia e fieno + the Radiatori al ragù. The Radiatori al ragù had the most amazing cheese grated on top. It complimented the beef and pork. I couldn't put my fork down - it was perfection in each bite. The Paglia e fieno was light and airy despite being a fettitune style noodle. The scallop and lemon pairing was delicious and the plate came together harmoniously. Exceptional flavors and quality - packed with attentive service, beautiful ambiance and decor. Come check them out!

Honestly, save your money. Unless you order multiple dishes, you will leave hungry. The food tasted fine, not fantastic enough for what we paid. It was pretty bland and basic. Otherwise, the service was a bit slow. They do have nice interior design though. I really wanted to like this place. I don't think we will be going back.

A really fun place with a cool vibe. Not just a wine bar. Dinner can be ordered from Nostrana. Excellent pasta and foccocia. Our server/bartender was attentive, friendly and helpful. Food came out in a timely manner. Barbera wine was excellent. . Overall a swanky place to dine.

I made a reservation for the restaurant side (Nostrana) but the Open Table app said I am required to make a separate reservation at Enoteca (bar side) in order to have access to their Happy Hour menu. I thought it strange having to make 2 separate reservations that ended up taking a 4-hr time block, but I did as asked. We were seated at the bar top where we were presented both the HH and regular menu. Our excellent bartender notified us we could order everything the restaurant serves...which left me wondering wth Open Table made me make 2 reservations. The bartender went over to the restaurant and canceled my second reservation so we could remain at the bar. I am so glad we got to stay at Enoteca. We ordered the Radicchio Salad (no bitterness thanks to their "cold blanch" prep), Crispy Risotto Cakes, and Foccacia of the Day (squash). These starters were all fantastic and such a great value for the price! We moved on to our mains, the Overnight Braised Pork shoulder and Oven Roasted Crab Cannelloni. Both were so delicious, with that melt-in-your-mouth pork, and delicate cannelloni pasta full of fresh crab meat. The desserts, Tiramisu and Butterscotch Budino, were too sweet for my taste but my sweet-tooth partner loved them (and finished them both hah). Our bartender paced the orders for us so we could enjoy our time with our drinks and we did not feel rushed at all. We got there at 5:30pm and the early evening light was perfect, and not crowded. Next time I would like to sit outside so I can enjoy their beautiful al fresco dining area surrounded by flowers and foliage. Listening to Vincent Price (?) talking about "California Port" in the bathroom was odd but funny. This is now a must-visit on my PDX list.

Per.Fec.Tion. There is no other way to put it. I have been wanting to go to Nostrana for like ....14 years. It has been bookmarked here on Yelp ...and I am so glad they had a reservation available! We sat at the bar and were served by Russell and Michael. First thing, we were offered a taste of wine that Russell was excited about, and it was a delight!! This left us feeling really comfortable asking for recommendations and suggestions. We ended up ordering something from every section of the menu except the salad course, but we will be back for that!! Every single staff member was epic. Full of knowledge and super friendly. Absolutely worth every single penny.

I found this amazing restaurant when jogging by at 11 AM (vacation-cut me some slack!) Anything "Enoteca" must be checked out in my opinion, so I stopped in. It is beautiful decor and the menu and wine list were equally compelling. To seal the deal, it was Gnocchi Thursday!!! We got a table for two, which turned into 5 people yet they still found a table for us. OMG we had such delicious food. The flavors were so wonderful. The mix of choices, either plant based or meat was vast. And all were amazing. Our wait person (OJ) was so helpful and the sommelier helped me choose a delicious wine from Mt. Etna. Yes, the volcano...It was terrific. I'd call this a top cuisine - top value and so great that I plan to go back before I leave this trip.

Simply put, I think Enoteca Nostrana represents the best of Portland.They may advertise it as a wine bar, but this may be my favorite cocktail bar in the city. Coupled with the food from Nostrana, this place is unmatched. I've never seen any other place execute at this quality so consistently.Frankly, there's no comparing Nostrana to other restaurants. The technical quality of every dish is astounding, and everything is thoughtfully produced.Nostrana has a legendary menu. It changes every single day. It's one thing to have specials or seasonal items, but to change a large part of your menu every day is nothing short of impressive. I've loved every dish I've had here over the years, and though it's heartbreaking to see every loved dish retire in such short time, I know there's something just--if not more--exciting the next time I'm in.The atmosphere of Enoteca Nostrana is sublime. The colors, shapes, patterns, and artwork are iconic. Everything is well-considered, including fresh-picked flowers along the bar and on each table. The visual design sits above every other place in the city.No place I know in Portland goes to the effort Nostrana seems to. Nothing comes close.

I ordered off the happy hour menu. The wines were excellent and the margarita pizza & capellini pomodoro was delicious. Only 3 stars, however, because we found a hair in the arugula salad (after eating half of it) and the pizza was served unsliced with nothing to cut it with. I wasn't sure what the process was so I sawed through it with a butter knife... to find out later from a patron who saw me that I was suppose to receive scissors to cut it with ‍.
