Geraldi's On 4th

They start with quality ingredients. Piles of beef and Italian sausage that reminds me of what Old Spaghetti Factory serves. The bread is great, too. The wait staff is helpful and courteous. I ate there once when I was booked into a nearby Best Western and when I had to be in Portland again I fought the traffic well out of my way to go back again.

This place was suggested to me when I was on site for my job. I needed a quick place to grab lunch, and I was not disappointed. It's a small shop with a decent parking situation. I went in and there was already a full table. When mentioned it was my first time there and asked what I should get and the lasagna was suggested. That was heavier food than I wanted at lunch so was given the 2nd suggestion of the meatball sub, which I got (whole). The food came out quickly and was heavenly! The meatballs were so flavorful and tender and the sauce was good (on the sweater side). The cheese was meltey and delicious. My only regret was not getting the lasagna because if the meatball sub was this good the lasagna must be dynomite. If you are in the area I definitely recommend giving this little place a try. I think it will be worth your time.

Ate here today for the first time in probably 15+ years, couldn't remember if it was good or not so I decided to stop by and find out lol. It was great! Got the Chicago beef with Italian sausage and a drink. The sandwich was great, and very filling. Definitely enough to share between two people, or make two meals out of. I ended up paying a touch under $18 with the sandwich being $14.95 of that. The price left me pleasantly surprised, as I've found out that many Italian delis have what I consider to be unreasonable prices. The restaurant itself is small, but quite clean and had a good atmosphere. I was there for less than half an hour and saw the tables get wiped down at least twice. I didn't get the name of the employee who helped me at the front counter unfortunately, however she was very nice and quick with her service with me and everyone else who came in during my time there. Overall, I'd say Geraldi's is a restaurant well worth your time.

Great food and fast service with fantastic bread! My only criticism might be that the interior is pretty cozy (but people seem to move through pretty quickly). Atmosphere was just a little awkward and hard to put my finger on why or what exactly. Good food and friendly staff with several drink options. I will certainly come grab a sandwich again. They are HUGE! COME HUNGRY! I might even try a pizza!
