Eating dinner here is an experience to be had. Really inventive and unique presentation. Probably the best steak I've ever had. Plus how can you not like a place that has a pre AND post dessert. Serivce was even better than the food. Can't wait to go back.

Wow. I thought I was going for a casual evening dinner with a good friend; little did I know that we were both in for the best meal of our lives. We tried the 4 course dinner for about $65. Most would think of this as an expensive dinner, but when you see and especially, experience what that gets you, you

Outstanding meal!. The Castagna meal was probably the best meal I have ever eaten! Every dish was unusual and creative. This is not your routine recipe driven restaurant. Matt Lightner is doing new things that you simply will not see anywhere else. Four of us shared our entries and had 21 different courses of food! Each was excellent and surprising and delightful. There a lots of routine restaurants that do well and if that is what you want, then go to the Cheesecake Factory, etc. For me, I am going back to Castagna!

Fabulous Creativity!. I couldn't believe the variety coupled with the level of excellence of every dish we tried at this restaurant. The chef is doing things that no one else is trying and hitting a home run. We like maximizing our tastes so we were able, with four people, to try 21 different things in our evening adventure and each one was different and wonderful.

If you're into small plates and local/fresh/innovative this is what you're going to get at Castagna. Can't recommend it more highly!

Exciting, Inventive and DELICIOUS!!!. Last night had a phenomenal experience here--fantastic, creative, delicious food that actually was ART. This young chef is a genious and I feel so lucky to be able to have access to such quality here in Portland. My favorites were the 1st course scallop dish with herb and apple sauce with a granita--WOW! Now this is not something I have had anywhere and it was mind-blowing. Also the sweet potatoe with sorbet was suprising. Lamb was done to perfection and for dessert the goat cheese with beets and hay crackers again absolutely wanted to lick the plate! Service was stellar and they even allowed us to order a dish off the tasting menu. Will be back again and again!!!
