Enoteca Nostrana

I was hesitant to try some of the stuff in the charcuterie board. My partner asked about it and the waitress ensured us we would not leave anything on the plate. She was correct. I did not know beef tongue could leave you wanting more. Very friendly staff. It's fun to sit at the counter and watch them make the food. My new favorite restaurant in PDX. Can't wait to go back.

Our dining experience at Enoteca started off really well, but it took a slide. Starters and second course were brought out at the right time/rhythm, and our bartender/host gave appropriate wine recommendations given our menu selections. Unfortunately, the third course took a very long time to come out from the kitchen, the temperatures of each dish didn’t match (one clearly sat on the counter waiting for the other), the polenta beneath the trout was greasy/not complementary of the fish, and apologies from our host resulted in a meager bill comp. Lesson learned: Come here for pizza or pasta and a starter! You’ll get great flavors, nice service, and you’ll save a lot on your bill. We found our total to be much more expensive than what might be comparable to other restaurants of similar caliber.

They've been open since spring of 2018, but I just finally checked out this little wine bar next door to the popular restaurant of the same name. Great selection of both wine and spirits, and since the food comes from next door, what can I say? This place has a great vibe and very attentive staff, who dole out generous pours even during happy hour! Shouldn't have waited so long to drop in here.
