Great Place to eat!. While your checking out the Hawthorne/ Belmont scene, drop in for some great drinks and pretty amazing Italian food. Great blues music, too!
Party in your mouth. The food (and drinks) are so good, it's like a party in your mouth!!!! Definitely recommend this restaurant!
One of Portland's Best.. My wife and I discovered this place by accident one night, looking for a spot to grab a beer before a movie. We have since gone back many times and taken a lot of friends from out of town here.

Their beer list is expansive and the staff is friendly, funny and knowledgeable. And the food is amazing. Huge portions and delicious. The blue lighting and darkened corners make for a great date spot.…
Love the atmosphere!.
I stumbled upon this place with my boyfriend and my cousen. What a nice surpise! We were looking for a place to get a lil tipsy before we went to the wonderland.The atmosphere was great and the
bartenders were pleasant/ helpful even on a Saterday night. We had a miscomunication on a drink and they fixed the mishap without a rude comment or extra charge. I would go here again for sure!
OH and the no smoking thing was awesome…
Fat plates of pasta in the cool Belmont neighborhood..
