Pastini

We really enjoy Pastini and plan to visit all of the Portland area locations. Their gluten-free noodles are awesome. My favorite is the Lemon cream sauce with asparagus and hazelnuts. Very friendly staff at every location I've been to so far and that makes a difference, thank you!

Absolutely great red sauce place. One of the best bolognaise around, their food is made with love and care and you can tell. Everything is classy and homey at the same time. We've been eating here as a family for 15 years! And the bonus is you can get gluten free pasta for many of the dishes.

Nice and tasty, friendly service. Air conditioned. Started with the parmesan bread and large Caesar salad. The bread wasn’t that great, tasted a little stale but also soggy in some spots. Super weird. The Caesar salad was ok, mostly the bottoms of the Romaine rather than the nice green parts, and a little skimpy on the dressing, but they were generous with the cheese so I was happy about that. For the main meal I had the spaghetti con gamberetti. The menu indicated that the dish would be spicy, but it wasn’t. Our server brought out some extra chili flakes and I was able to spice it up a bit and take it from adequate to super tasty. Could have done with some more shrimp, but otherwise I found this dish to be very tasty and I would recommend it (with some extra kick). My partner got the pappardelle with meat sauce bolognese. That, too, needed a generous dose of chili pepper to elevate the flavor. But once it was, it was very tasty. For dessert we shared the chocolate tartufo. The vanilla gelato was absolutely delicious! I could have done without the cake part, which I found kinda dry and uninspired. But my partner loved it. Absolutely would eat here again.

Great pasta dishes in a laid back atmosphere; perfect for a casual evening out. Our group of 4 was quickly greeted and sat. Service was fast and friendly (one of the few restaurants we've been to recently that seems fully staffed). Our waiter, Austin, even took the time to make some great local recommendations for the rest of our time in town. The food itself had generous portions and fair prices with excellent flavor and quality.
