Best Italian Restaurants in Portland

The sauces on the ravioli and the fish were absolutely outstanding. I had the ravioli, my wife had the fish. Best pasta I have ever had and that ncludes throughout northern Italy. The tiramisu had a chocolate gnache and was superb. I expected a good meal. What I got instead was a great one. Now let’s talk about the staff….the waiter was very attentive and skilled at creating warm dishes that were finished at the table. The owner? Manager came by and when he heard how much I loved the meal, brought out the chef . The chef even shared a couple of secrets that will improve my own sauces at home. What a great place. If you are ever in Louisville for dinner, do the place.

We had a party of 7 and every entree was excellent! salmon, pork chop, gumbo and the Boudin Balls appetizer were all amazing!! We shares a banana foster cheesecake dessert, worth every calorie and dollar!

Someone obviously cares about the Front of House b/c our waitress was above reproach. Attentive but not too much, water glasses never less than half full, gave excellent recommendations. The food was INCREDIBLE. The filet mignons skewers with chimichurri practically melted in my mouth. The beef tartare was texturally perfect, the rosemary focaccia toasts had a crisp crust but were fluffy at the same time. I mean, the house smoked meats were insanely good, but so was everything else. The crème brûlée was one of the best I’ve ever had, although a little more sugar crackle on top is my personal preference. The tiramisu was a cup of heaven. If I could eat here every day I would!! BRAVO!

Volare was a fantastic experience for a Thanksgiving Eve dinner and drinks! Amazing food! Impeccable service! Great energy!

We always enjoy Difabios, food is fantastic and the staff is so friendly.
