Where is the Best Restaurant in Portland, Oregon?
Atomic pizza.The prices are cheaper than my spot down the street…sorry normal spot but i need the whole pie tonight.The crust was amazing, a bit more mealy than the wannabes and more crisp than the wannabes and more taste than the wannabes. The toppings are fresh tasting, even the peperoni tasted halfway between normal and uncured. The cheese, I know this taste…it’s called good… If your planning on opening a pizza place or saying other local favs are good, try here first for a slice or a pie, then look me in the eye and tell me it didn’t put the others to shame; that’s right, you can’t! The fact there isn’t a line out the door is shocking, but they are still “new.” I also ordered a pizza beyond the regular peperoni. The garlic sauce with chicken was insane!Thank you atomic, thank you for making me not continue to suffer through the established local chains, and letting me enjoy what i treat myself with once a week, and that is a delicious pizza.

Chef Chris Thompson has done an incredible job of presenting excellent Italian Food that compares with the East Coast Italian Dining Experience. We were asked when making our reservation, if anyone in our party had a food allergy the chef should be aware of. A huge bonus before we even arrived. When arriving, we were greeted by a delightful hostess who seated us right away even though our dining companions were running a little late. Erin, (our charming, beautiful, intelligent, and personable waitress was marvelous) assured us not to worry and we had wine and some of the best calamari ever while waiting. When our friends arrived, they were seated immediately and had wine and salad, after which our orders were taken for entrees. Two lasagnas, one catch of the day, and one pasta specialty of the house with Italian sausage. All four, perfectly prepared, served eye appealingly, and delish beyond words.I was invited to come back to the kitchen to meet the chef after offering our co
I’m baffled by some of the negative comments. I wasn’t going to review this place (its busy enough as it is, so I wanted to keep it as “secret” as possible), but now I feel compelled to do so. THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC! I don’t go often, as its a little above my budget, but I try to go at least once every month or two because the food is incredible. The gnocci is to die for (nothing close to a ‘donut’–come on for real?!) The chicken is so tasty and falls off the bone. We’ve ordered every special they’ve offered – loved them all. The various bruschettas are mouth watering. And Seth knows his wine! I really like Seth and Chantal – they are very nice, very real people. Chantal is not as engaging as Seth, but still friendly in a quieter way. And they are definitely NOT pretentious. I have to admit, on my first visit there, the place was busy and the service wasn’t uber attentive or outwardly friendly. But I came back for the food and so glad I did, because the service only impr
