Justa Pasta

Casual little restaurant/market that you can buy house made pasta cooked or to take home and cook (along w/ wines & pasta sauces and such). We tried a seafood linguine which was great - nice & creamy without being too heavy or creamy & fresh light flavors w/ parsley & cherry tomatoes. Could've been a bit more generous w/ the clams but still good. We also shared a dessert, I forget the name but it was something like Paris Breast or something lol. It was like a buttery croissant cookie sandwich with cream & strawberries, quite tasty.Cafe vibes with a few indoor seats but a good amount of seating on their covered heated patio. Open for a few hours during lunch and then again for dinner later.

The Kale Caesar Salad is one of the best in town.The wine pours are great, and the pasta is even better.With daily specials that rotate, there's always something different to try when we go,Great easy neighborhood spot to take the family for lunch and dinner.

One of my favorite restaurants in Portland going on 10+ years now. They have some of the freshest more flavorful Italian dishes i've ever had. The freshly made pasta make all the difference and I love that you can grab some freshly made pasta to-go for at home use as well. The 3 cheese raviolis with pesto is my go-to dish, but on this visit their Halibut special was also absolutely to die for and good perfectly with a moist inside and light crisping on the outside. You also get fresh focaccia and plain bread with oil and balsamic glaze when you first sit down which is a great addition. The staff and owner is always so friendly and accommodating. The food, staff, and atmosphere made this place a go-to for any special occasion or date night.

After grabbing a glass of wine at a nearby winery my friend and I needed a small bite so we crossed the street to Justa Pasta. We split a ceasar salad and garlic chili oil ravioli. It HIT!! We also were served work crusty bread with balsamic and police oil-yummy! The ceasar dressing was flavorful with crunchy fresh greens. The pasta was seasoned well with the garlic chili oil and pasta perfectly cooked. We sat in the outdoor area as it was the best summer night, vibe was casual and cool. Staff was so amazing, smiley and happy and they had interior seating as well!

We went here at a recommendation of a friend whose business is around the corner from this restaurant (thanks Cristina!), and were welcomed in and started off with fresh bread and olive oil/vinegar (which was great by the way). After scanning the QR code for the menu, we ended up getting the organic Kale Caesar salad (recommended by my friend), which was very flavorful and each bite had the perfect amount of dressing in it. My buddy who ate with us said it was the best Kale salad he's ever had! They have options to add protein but we just wanted a light lunch and it was just right. ----TL;DR---Pros: flavorful, friendly staff, reasonable prices, good location, healthy, fresh!Cons: noneBottom Line: great choice for a light healthy lunch, would definitely visit again when I'm back in the area.

An old favorite and it's still good. Everything is good here from pasta to salads to desserts. Pesto w chicken is a favorite as well as their meatballs.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time now and I am so happy I finally did! Food: 9/10 absolutely divine! Fresh pasta, fresh prawns, seasoned well, perfect portion size, served HOT and timely! Both my friend and I had enough for leftovers the next day. I loved that there were fresh garlic cloves (I love garlic) in my sauce. The after dinner drink was just the perfect way to end the night. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend for a cute date night or a girls night. There is covered and heated seating outside along with seating inside and bar seating. 10/10 highly recommend! **I am making the review a few weeks after visiting so I am missing a few details but trust me this place is worth a visit

I went here to celebrate my official first day of being a full time employee at my job. The spot is so quaint and cute. Service was incredible!!! The pasta was so delicious. Great pesto with chicken. I need to come back. I swear I took a photo but I can't find it sadly.

With a name like Justa Pasta, you'd expect a strip mall quick pasta luncheon type place. Nope, this place is a fine dining establishment in the quieter part of the NW district. This is probably one of the best kept secret for good pasta in town. The pasta is amazingly fresh, and all the sauces are just ah so tasty. Service has always been amazing here, too. They have quite the wine selection to pair with your pasta dinner, and their full bar menu is all there.

Delicious!!!!Staff warm and welcoming. We ordered the pesto & prawns - homemade noodles and sauce was divine also pictured the special insalata. Couldn't have been more pleased.
