Trattoria Gallo Nero

Matthew Waterman

Amazing food, service, and ambiance! My partner and I were traveling and found this gem for dinner. The house made pasta was the best! The sommelier recommended a wine and it was delightful! Everything about the experience was perfect! If you’re in the area, you MUST try this! 💜

If you are trying to have a good Italian experience: Stop immediately! Food was mediocre and the service was so bad that I had to give 2 stars only. We went last weekend for dinner. My drink, an Aperol Spritz for $15, only filled 2 fingers of the glass. When we ordered a bottle of wine, the server brought it to the table partially open and she asked if anyome wanted to try it or should i just pour it out??? My fruto de Mare pasta had 2 shrimps and 5 or 6 shells of the clams without the seafood. just the shells ! Finally, we asked for the flour- less chocolate cake for the birthday, and it was stale and dry.We asked for tiramisu and they did not have it. When the bill came, the tiramusu and the chocolate cake were on there and we had to have it adjusted. Just another overrated, expensive restaurant in the Pearl.

My mother, sister and I were visiting Portland over Mother's Day and came in for a last-minute dinner. What a delight. First off, our server was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the whole menu, and everything she brought us was delicious. I ordered the pasta pomodoro and it was simple but just spot-on in terms of flavor and texture. My favorite aspect of the meal was the cocktail I ordered. I'm not super knowledgeable about wine - if you are, then you've got lots of options! - so I went for the sfumato and soda cocktail. And it was FANTASTIC. I ordered two of them and when I got home, I asked my husband to recreate it for me. He called the bartender, who gave him the scoop! Super nice. A cool place staffed by good people.

EMANUELE FIORENTINI (DUCRAKI)

Veramente buono! Had dinner with my family and enjoyed every thing we had on the table: crostini with tomatoes, with liver pate', penne with tomato sauce, swordfish, braised wild boar, gelato and tiramisu! Felt like at home in Tuscany.
