Vista Spring Cafe 2440 Southwest Vista Avenue, Portland, OR 97201

"Very cozy unique restaurant with good service and very good Italian food. Like their meatballs better than Rao's. Pizza while not authentic but are unique and good. Not the best but good. Likely best pizza on west side of town."

"Update: my wife and I visited when we were back in the neighborhood, still a gem. Original: Vista Spring has always been there. It's never the first place I think of to eat out but it's always the place I'm so thankful has been around when I do. The pizza is pretty good, everything is straightforward and dependable. It's just a great combination of cozy, warm atmosphere, decent food, and a historic location (one that I hope keeps keeping on)."

"This is one of those hidden gem restaurants that have delicious food and yet, somehow stay off the radar. First, the location is in the absolutely gorgeous Goose Hollow Neighborhood with large and historic houses perched along the hillside. Second let’s talk about the atmosphere, the restaurant is very quaint with small booths and tables along with a full bar. A small stairway leads into a cute antique shop next door. Third, let’s talk about the food. I started with their homemade meatballs which were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Our family got a large Sicilian Pizza and it was amazing. (Much better than Ken’s) Perfect amount of toppings and the crust had been cooked perfectly. Not too hard and not too soft. Lastly, the waitstaff were very attentive and super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything looked so good but, their suggestions helped us pick out the most popular dishes and they didn’t disappoint. Definitely give the Vista Spring Cafe a try for your next dinner. If you love homemade Italian food, this is the place"

"Nice cozy atmosphere. A lot of neighborhood people lauded their pizza so we gave it a try, ordering the Sicilian. The pizza was good, not quite great. Salads were solid. Waitress was very nice."
