Grassa

Don't feel safe coming here knowing one of my SA perpetrators Jeremy Johnson works here I guess it is Portland

Great, homemade pasta for a reasonable price.

Visiting Portland for the holidays to visit family and walked downtown to see the beautiful tree all lit up for Christmas and stopped at Grassa for a late lunch. Wow, fantastic pasta. I ordered the Mac & Cheese, plain with no pork or other toppings. The dish was so creamy and tasty, I loved every bite. My partner ordered the Spaghetti Aglio Olio and said it was too salty but he was able to eat most of the bowl. Our son ordered the Carbonara and loved every bite. We also ordered the garlic bread which was just average, kinda dry and not full of flavor. Overall, great pasta and worth a try.

The squid ink linguine is perfect! 在美国吃到的最好的意大利面

One of my favorite restaurants in Portland! Delicious pasta, great vibes, and always a good time. My go-to order is the pork belly mac and cheese with fried brussels sprouts. If I'm feeling frisky, I might also split a garlic bread. Highly recommend the rigatoni as well! No matter what your order, you can't go wrong. Best part about the downtown location is you can grab a beverage in Beer O'clock right next door and they'll bring your food over to you!

I decided to treat myself to a night in today and opted to order from Grassa. Unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired, and I found myself thoroughly disappointed with what I received. Im a college student in the city and spending 20 dollars on 1 meal is a little ridiculous and I never do it often. Placing the order was fairly straightforward and I was looking forward to a nice warm meal. However, upon opening the package I knew that I was in for disappointment. I had ordered an aglio e olio pasta - simple but when made well can be extremely delicious. To my dismay the portion size was barely anything, the pasta was mediocre - bland, not flavorful and it definitely did not taste like aglio olio which questions the value for money. This dish felt more so a finger food than an actual meal. Im sure a dine in experience will be much better and while I understand how the challenges of home delivery can affect the dining experience, it's disheartening to receive a meal that falls so far short of expectations, especially given the price paid for convenience. Im still starving...
