Reviews for Montelupo Italian Market in Portland, OR
One of my favorite go-to restaurants in Portland. It’s simple yet just elevated enough, using wholesome and specialty... ingredients that really shine through each dish. I have never been disappointed here. We always start with the radicchio saladwith anchovies on top and a wedge of the pull apart bread. Seriously I’d come for this doughy slice of heaven alone. No,it’s not warm but I’m not mad at it. I do wish that they wouldn’t waste plastic when serving the olive oil. Everythingelse is so nicely plated I don’t understand the thought behind this, especially if the oil is as nice and high-end as the restof the ingredients in the market and on the menu. Pasta is fresh and homemade and there are classics and unique specials alwayschanging with the season. The tiramisu is sooo good. I do wish they served coffee in the evening with dessert. Cocktails are onpoint and everything is priced really well. When you’re done cap off your visit with a look through the market!! Read more
Small Italian market by day, restaurant and market by night. We ordered the bread as a starter, it wasn’t toasted or warmed up... and was still soft and doughy on the inside like it was a take and finish baking at home kind of loaf that they offer in theirmarket. It came with a plastic cup of olive oil. Plating the oil with a little balsamic & salt and then toasting the bread wouldmake it much more enjoyable. The noodles were cooked well and the dishes are pretty but unfortunately we were underwhelmed withthe over all flavors of our pasta dishes. The FOH workers were very nice and welcoming. Read more
Omg! Come here for dinner. The pasta was so incredible. All handmade. Sauces were so flavourful! Really enjoyed our meal! They... also make some good coffee. Read more
This place slaps. Was first introduced to their to-go foods via the pasta bakes (which are awesome), and had to go in for dinner... service. Salads, pasta, burrata, are all on point. Cocktails and wine menu are great and accessible as well. Read more
Loved the fresh made pasta and octopus. Food was slightly salty for me. Also wish the bread was served cold. Other than that, we... enjoy our dinner and will come back to try other pasta. Read more
Wow wow wow wow this place was amazing. It was like eating the most flavorful and fresh, luscious pasta your tongue has ever... tasted. The Ricotta Cavatelli was to die for. It was like chicken and dumplings meets Italian food. We also got the fusilliwhich was also great. I mean, you can’t really go wrong. Get all the food! Oh also, mulled wine was great ???? Read more
So lovely. Concise menu, but everything I could ever want. Had the ricotta gnocchi and it was excellent. Strong and beautiful... flavors. I could meet here with a friend and get a couple cocktails and some cheese or I could bring my parents here and spend along time on a meal and wine. Lovely spot. Take some olives home. Read more
