Gilda's | Italian Restaurant 1601 Southwest Morrison Street, Portland, OR 97205

"The most delicious and authentic Italian by a true chef who has passion in the kitchen. The chef Marco has a heart of gold and the love he puts into his food is noticed. Every bite was scrumptious. The atmosphere is lovely and quaint. Service is delightful. Hands down a favorite place to eat."

"Gilda's is a great spot for some Italian fare. We started out with a classic caesar salad and also had their burrata appetizer, and both were delicious. I had the Papardelle Salsiccia, and it was *chef's kiss* so good!! Their pasta is fresh and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. Their restaurant had a small cozy dining area with a lounge area in the back. One of my favorite parts was seeing all the old family photos on the walls, of the owner and their fam. I definitely give my experience two thumbs up and I absolutely plan on going back!"

"The food and service was really good ..The star were the deserts ! We ordered both Creme brulle and Walnut tart and both were amazing!! Walnut tart was very unique and something that we have never tasted.. The ambience is okay, we expected it to be a lot better looking at the rating."

"Dinner on date night this week at Gilda’s, one of our restaurant partners in the city. One of the very best burrata salads we’ve had. Beautifully seasoned and generous. It could be a luncheon meal. Paul had their pork and beef meatballs, which had a surprising, silky texture. We hope the owner sells those nationally! I had a thick cut of steelhead, perfectly cooked, accompanied by roasted vegetables and olives. Ohmygosh… Turns out, Essential Confection’s flagship cheesecake is the restaurant’s best selling dessert! Our business is relational, and we love promoting what people do well. Bravo!"

"This was our Second time going to this restaurant and again was more than impressed. Our waiter was extremely attentive and outgoing without being too bothersome. The atmosphere is great, as well as the location in downtown Portland. Now the food was over the top. I ordered the barata ravioli with crab meat and a white sauce, this was a special offered and this was the highlight of the evening, in my opinion. A friend ordered the mahi-mahi special, he also spoke very highly of the dish. My wife had Pappardelle with house- made sausage and noodles. This place is definitely top-notch, we cannot wait to venture back. We made the drive from Vancouver, but it's so worth it."
