365 Things To Do In Portland, Oregon

Sit outside and enjoy some (more) Italian food in the Pearl District

Blake Ellis - Tuesday, July 06, 2010

I'll never forget my introduction to Piazza Italia, a cool casual Italian restaurant in the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon.  I had just moved back from 5 years of living in LA and NYC and was strolling the neighborhood in search of a good meal.  I stopped into Piazza Italia and asked the person at the door for a menu.  Immediately, she yelled over at another employee in Italian.. I thought "Okay, this has got to be authentic.. EVERYONE here speaks Italian!!"  I quickly interrupted and asked for a table for two.. 

Over the past 5 years, I've enjoyed many meals at Piazza Italia.  It's a very consistent restaurant with a memorable staff that knows how to treat you right.  After a few trips, they really remember their customers.  It feels like a little family place, which really contributes to the cozy atmosphere here.  The food is simple and well done.  The carafes of house wine are awesome, too.

Take a trip.  You can sit outside, enjoy some nice wine, and a great neighborhood too!!!
