How Great A Gluten Free place For. How Great A Gluten Free place For Me! My husband and i came here by chance and it was pretty busy which is always a good sign. We were exccited there seemed to be a good buzz about the tables and the warmth of the room itself. Our Waitress came over and told us thier specials and explained that he could tweak entrees or other dishes to be gluten free. I love this because she really seemed excited to have us rather than be bothered like other places in the recent past. I had the calamari which was amazing best by far that i can remember. my husband ordered the pork for an entree and i chose the gluten free pasta with the lamb ragu. This is by far some of the best pasta That i can remember since i have been celiac in 8 years now. Thank you for taking such great care and making me feel special rather than the outcast that has made a silly dietary choice by trend. View Less …
How could this possibly be listed as a romantic restaurant when it has a kids menu and provides coloring sheets. One way to surely provide a sort of romantic birth control is to have loud, hyper and unruly children present. View Less …
Wonderful Italian experience.I was not. Wonderful Italian experience. I was not sure where to go, a business client recommended this jewel. I am simply Italian i like great food, good people to enjoy it with and a subtle charm in the atmosphere and experience. The restaurant is quaint and warm with the cutest farm paintings on the walls. The service was smooth and made our ordering experience more unique by suggesting that we share courses rather than the regular way most people dine out. Pasta were wonderfully fresh like my mothers and the lamb and pork were so succulent and flavorful yet simple. This is the closeest to Italy I have found from the plating of nice full portions to wonderfully fresh ingredients. This is the first italian place that I have eaten at that we enjoyed and I did not feel hungry later and I really am looking forward to the lamdb next time that I do not have to share! View Less …
Divine NYE dinner. My wife and two of our friends dined at Iorio on NYE, They had special menu which exceeded our expectations. We were greeted with champagne and an additional starter. The Gnocchi melted in my mouth. Pure heaqven. We had one of each lobster and scallop ravioli, eggplant and 2 osso bucco. We were so full. They went out of their way to treat us like royalty. Our entire meal was a great start to 2012. View Less …
Worst service in Portland and I didn't get past the door..
This review is only for the Host with the obnoxious facial hair.
First, the restaurant that's Italian, not French, stop being haughty and a total snob.
Second, when I do exactly as you say-come on sunday at 5 pm and I won't need to make a reservation, don't give me an attitude that I haven't made a reservation, b/c all I did was follow your terrible advice. Be able to anticipate an increase in traffic when your groupon is about to expire (like every other business owner).
I understand that groupon isn't the best thing, but the idea is to drum up new business and you signed yourself up for it, so you're the only one to blame. I will never spend any money at this establishment and am actively working to get a refund on my groupon b/c I do not want a single cent going to this business.
