Serratto

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 ItalianService: Overall pretty decent service. Waitress was better than the bartenderParking: 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.

A haiku review:Scallops so juicyThey were buttery and soft Very small portionThe creme brûlée? MmmmPerfectly crunchy on top Quite expensive meal

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...

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.

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.

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, spiceLamb osso buco was super tender The steak we had ordered medium rare but when it came it was medium wellThe 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.

Meh. Decent but not remarkable food, served with a dismissive attitude by stale-dated hipster stereotypes. For those of us who just want to enjoy fresh, creative food, without invasive attitudes, you can do much better than Serratto. Portland has too many better options to indulge another restaurant that cares more about its ego than its service.

This was a very enjoyable place to meet on a second date. Not too crowded at happy hour and early dinner. Our server was very accommodating finding us a different table & knowledgeable about the wine list. I was able to enjoy an excellent vegetarian meal. Noise level & ambience were great.

We had a great experience at Serrato! Alejandro made great recommendations to pair my rigatoni pasta with the perfect red wine and even offered a sampling of a different wine before I made my choice. Overall service and food was excellent

Amazing!Ambiance great! Comfortable upscale casual venue.Service wonderful! He was attentive and knowledgeable without being in our faces. A great personality.Food: wowwww! Love love love! Garlic bread yummm,Salads beautifully arranged and perfectly dressed. Nice wine selection without being pretentious.Entrees amazing: my brother had the rigatoni(so good), my husband had another pasta with ragu(so tasty), I had a lighter pasta with lemon cream, asparagus and spring peas( lovely).
