Bartenders will introduce you to booze you hated and will make you love it. Kitchen is amazing. So much is made in house, especially the syrups. Quality place for happy hour and every hour.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Phillip KirklandOctober 3, 2016I rarely do these and the ribeye was more than worth writing about. Dry-aged 40 days, in-house to boot. Cooked over flame and finished in their brick oven. One of the best pieces of beef in PDX.
Wilson Favre-DelerueJune 3, 2017Passes the good Italian restaurant test w/ flying colours: delicious, thin pizzas, equally delicious pasta and classic Italian desserts. The negroni of the month never fails to impress.
JayDecember 29, 2018Ordered the gnocchi made of semolina flour. Baked and very soft, with a sauce surrounding the gnocchi. Menu seem to change throughout the week. Not your traditional gnocchi but it was delicious!
Jennifer YuAugust 17, 20199pm and after is a late night “happy hour” menu. $8 pasta and pizzas, $5 antipastis, $25 bottles of wine. The pizza crust here is preeeetty close to NYC standards- H. Colbert (@hrsch)November 12, 2016The salumi pizza is amazing. Pies come unsliced with pizza scissors, which is kind of awesome. ✂️
Great food, great decor, great service... we love getting food here family style and sharing with everyone.. especially the bistecca!
GNTLMNFebruary 19, 2014Great Italian. A little upscale. Chef Cathy Whims has been nominated for the James Beard Award for the Northwest 5 years in a row. Get the budino for dessert. It's deliciously rich.
Rachel KAugust 24, 2017Really nice fresh pasta with seasonal ingredients. Pictured: goat cheese stuffed pappardelle with cherry tomatoes.
Namratha KashiJune 3, 2019Dew drop spritz was a fine drink and we loved the leek and potato soup as well! Good place for vegetarians too
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014The Happy Hour (starts at 9PM) is a steal with drinks & snacks (We love the Charcuterie) for $5 and under.
Michelle BergMay 19, 2013The cheese plate was amazing. The ravioli was ok. The Caesar salad was overpowering. The porterhouse pork chop was fantastic. The strawberry rhubarb crisp is the best - order it for sure!
One of the best Negronis in Portland + amazing pizza. Get that Nostrana radicchio salad! Fantastic.
Janet PFebruary 8, 2012Have Farmhouse Dinner before they take it off menu. And ala carte -- try the Honey Pinenut Tart. First bite, the honey experience explodes on your tastebuds then lingers with the essence of pinenuts.
Happy hour menu available after 9 p.m. includes their excellent margarita pizza for $6 and their take on mac & cheese. Pasta special is always excellent too.
Steve BilowJuly 27, 2011First off, the pizzas are to die for. No better crust in the world, Then there is an an amazing executive chef, unbelievable deserts, a Tagliata that is amazing, unique wines and regularly changing fl- Gabe LopezMarch 16, 2015All of the pizza at Nostrana is amazingly great. They have delicious crust.each one of their pizzas is uniquely delicious
Fantastic pizza. Great menu everyday. great staff and could not be more kid friendly! Lucky to have them in Portland.
Emily CharlestonSeptember 11, 2015Gnocchi Thursday's and delicious pizza. They charge a $25 corking fee for bringing your own bottle of wine which is pretty crazy.
Mitali GalaNovember 28, 2015Excellent food. Try the Orange wine. The pizza is phenomenal. Don't leave without dessert and repent!
Portland MonthlyMarch 9, 2011Think wood-fired California designer pizza, by way of fine Oregon farmers. New Yorkers may cringe, Italians may flee, but Sarah Minnick and oven man James Albee bust out some of the tastiest, most sat Read more
huilineOctober 26, 2014Right on: Quality of food from start to finish was superb. Definitely my favourite restaurant in Portland.- GourmetLiveNovember 4, 2010Chef Cathy Whims serves up perfect oven-roasted pizzas (which is based on a venerable sourdough brought over form Nice), elegant hand-wrought pastas, lusty Italiante steaks, and fire-baked fish dishes
- Talia GoldbergAugust 10, 2011Go after 9 to Nostrana's late "happy hour" for $5 Pizza. This is one of the best restaurants in Portland, can't go wrong
Enrique Gutiérrez ArzateFebruary 26, 2019The food here is very good! I’d rather go for the regular menu instead of Happy Hour
Evan AllenDecember 8, 2015Happy hour 9-10. Wood fired and orange wine. Ask how the orange wine is aged!
Sit at the pizza counter. Diavolo pizza with arugula. Chocolate budino with the dessert wine pairing. You're welcome.
Mark JensenSeptember 10, 2012From @mrgan: "Very nice slightly-upscale Italian. Pizzas and insalata Nostrana are ace. The best Italian spot in town."- You must get the chocolate budino. No questions asked. :)
Andy WangApril 15, 2017The pizza alone is worth the price of admission. Great atmosphere and service.
Happy hour is great! Pizza margarita and the house wine. Reasonably priced and delicious!
Tim In The HouseAugust 5, 2019Great ambiance, great service, cool bar... but the food? So disappointing!
natalie kaySeptember 19, 2017The nostrana salad is hands down my favorite! I get it every time without fail
Erin ElyMay 22, 2011I had the Budino with carmel and salt it was soooo amazingly good. I also had the Ling Cod and it was delicious.
- Portland MonthlyJuly 1, 2010A seared flat-iron steak, its internal flesh the color of a pomegranate, rests atop a bed of fresh arugula garnished with soft slivers of poached garlic and rosemary-infused olive oil. Read more
Bryson ThomasAugust 7, 2014Clint Dempsey was there. The pizza was great. Our waiter was a jerk. We asked if our beers would be separate, and he said "No, im not having 14 separate tickets." That's fine, but there wasn't 7 of us
Daniel Pollack-PelznerSeptember 30, 2012Butterscotch budino! Poached from Pizzeria Mozza in LA, sure, but almost as good.
Tyler RizzoAugust 2, 2013Avoid the house wine, even if the $5 price point is appealing...super unpalatable.
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Jenn Louis, chef of Lincoln, eats here on her nights off. She loves the Insalata Nostrana. Read more
