Staff was very attentive and responsive although they were pretty busy serving many tables. Spinach salad was flavorful. Scampi and broccolini were good. In terms of pasta, I have to say they were not bad but not very impressive. The most disappointing thing is bread, I’m kind of shocked at how stale the bread was. Price is fair, but in Portland we’ve so many better choices at the this price range.
The food was nothing overly impressive yet still very tasty! The bread was hard and unfortunately the chicken was chewy. We really wanted Italian and Pastini had great reviews and seemed the best option in Downtown Portland. The aesthetic was very nice, as was the location! I would say it is more accurate to say the price range is $15 - $25.
Pastini was wonderf! The food and customer service were absolutely top-notch. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. The diverse menu offered a tantalizing array of delicious options, and every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was impeccable. The waitstaff was attentive and provided excellent recommendations. Our evening at Pastinis was the perfect introduction to the vibrant culinary scene of Portland. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience, and we look forward to returning in the future.
Our food was fantastic! Erin made suggestions for us as we had never been here. She did not steer us wrong! We had the short rib ravioli and cioppino. Both were delicious!
Wish we had a Pastini in Spokane!! Restaurant was very clean, food came out so fast and was some of the best spaghetti I’ve ever had! Servers were friendly and the drinks were good too :) Definitely would come back.
Some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. I’m not from here and this place was a highlight with the delicious food and friendly and helpful staff. Definitely check this place out!
We love this place so much so we ate there 2 nights in a row. Food is fantastic and service even better. If you are in Oregon, try this place out. You wont regret it.
Service was excellent—our waiter explained different options on the menu and was attentive. There are plenty of options for meat eaters and vegetarians with some seafood pasta options as well (mainly shrimp dishes). The pasta was delicious.
Tried one of their lunch combos, Spaghetti Carbonara with soup, it was pretty good!
Service might have been a bit slow, maybe they're understaffed.
Nice and tasty kind of fast-food style restaurant. The food is alright if you don’t expect a real traditional authentic Italian restaurant.
Overall we were happy and everything really has a fair price.
The Pappardelle with meat sauce were a bit different than expected. It wasn’t a traditional bolognese to us, more like goulash. Also the spicy Italian sausage wasn’t spicy. But I’d totally go again.
Lunch menu was good for portion and taste. Especially Laguna source taste was real good.
Great menu with many options. I loved the lunch specials and can't wait to come back for dinner. The lunch portions were very satisfying. Soup was amazing, better than I expected and I had high hopes so they went above and beyond in every way. The wait staff was also polite and informative. Will be back any time I visit downtown Portland. $30 for two meals two drink and dessert. Definitely worth every penny.
Loved the lunch specials! Service was quick and the staff was friendly! We were running against time for heading out of Portland the staff was understanding, seated us quickly and ensured the food was serves without delay. Will def visit them again.
While I love the Beaverton location, I love this location a little more. It’s beautiful inside to start. The food is amazing, my favorite dish is the caprese salad.. I can’t get enough of it! The staff killed it, they took such good care of us. I prefer getting on the road and driving downtown to come here.
Give Olive Garden a break guys and come try something new. It’s such a fresh taste, I will forever love pastini!
We arrived at 8p and were able to get a table outside right away. The service was fast and friendly. There were several options with and without meat. I got the butternut squash ravioli which was great while my friend ate meatballs from the appetizer menu! I definitely recommend them for a quick, tasty, affordable Italian meal. An easy 15 min walk from The Hilton Porter Curio Collection.
Best Pesto Pasta I have ever had! Not to mention that they also have amazing gluten free pasta!!! Experience was great, got sat down quickly and food arrived super fast, service was great!
Great service. Very good lunch deal 🤍
