Reviews for Nostrana in Portland, OR
This place's esthetic is very cute! Had a signature drink with our appetizer that was called Dancing in Rio. Our appetizer was a... Fava bean crostene it had a nice balance of citrus. On Thursdays it is gnocchi night, so if you want pasta make sure not to goon Thursdays. The zucchini crema gnocchi was very good and great for summer. I had the semolina gnocchi which was light and airywith a polenta like flavor, it was super cheesy and delicious! Highly recommend! Read more
I will always remember the goat cheese pappardelle we got here. So light, so much flavor in each bite. Attentive service and a... beautiful space. We also really enjoyed their red wine and the fried risotto ball appetizer. Read more
Love this place! The burrata is always amazing (forgot to photograph it) the steak and fettuccine Alfredo were the perfect... plates to split with my husband and the tiramisu was so delicious. It’s a loud restaurant and the service isn’t the fastestbut the vibe and food are worth going for. Would not recommend taking kids Read more
Unreal. Some of the best Italian food and wine I’ve ever, ever had. The atmosphere is lovely and the folks serving are so kind... and fun. It’s basically a perfect restaurant. Read more
Had to make a reservation 2 weeks out. Was not disappointed. Fantastic service, food and atmosphere. Had the fungi pizza with an... egg!! I never thought an egg on a pizza would work, but again...not disappointed! Recommend! Read more
The food, wine, and cocktails are very delicious! The staff was friendly and recommended us the dishes we picked, which were... very good. It was very busy even for a weeknight, so make sure to make a reservation! Also note the bread they charge you forthe bread they give you, but it's very delicious and worth it (it costs $5). A 20% service fee is added to the bill. Overall agreat experience! Read more
Delicious Gigli pasta! It was my first time and I loved how the pasta melted in my mouth. Purple fried Brussel sprouts were... literally the best I have ever had. The server was very patient, warm and also suggested a great wine pairing for our food! Thedesserts are the owner-chef’s recipe and the apple pear gateau was yummy. Would highly recommend going!

We sat at the bar and split items. The arancini had excellent flavor and good crisp. The granchio pizza has crab on it, very... tasty. Not a huge arugula fan but combined with the lemon and flavors of the pizza it worked out well. The star of the show wasthe steak. It was absolutely divine. The seasoning was top tier and there were garlic slices on top of it. Ordered medium andwas cooked to perfection. Bartenders were knowledgeable and fun to chat with. Read more
