We celebrated our anniversary with a complimentary glass of Prosecco. Our dinner was delicious pasta and salad. And salted caramel gelato! And our waiter was attentive and delightful. We will be back

About the restaurant

"Inclusive from the moment you grace the doorway, 3 Doors Down Cafe and Lounge has a keen acumen for speeding up your wind down, flipping the switch from maddening day to welcoming respite. A playful, thoughtful, and engaging dining experience begins with the dynamic wine list (including barrel to bar wines by the glass), flowing effortlessly to the inventive starters, big bowls of pasta and shellfish, perfectly grilled fish and meats. 3 Doors Down Cafe and Lounge offers a doff of the hat to Mother Italy and a harmonious affair with locally procured Pacific Northwest cuisine. Come in, sit down, and eat!"

Reservations are for dining only.

Outstanding food. Friendly and attentive service. Extensive bottled wine list and adequate by the glass. We had beef and pork Gigli and crab fettucini plus a nice mixed green salad and the seasonal fruit crisp. Despite a torrential downpour, the awning over the front patio kept us dry and the weather was not cold, so it was a pleasant al fresco experience. The inside dining room was humming and full. One of the best restaurants in Portland. Get reservations early, especially for weekend nights.

Tartuca

$31 to $50

Italian

NE Portland

About the restaurant

Since 2022, Tartuca has been a quintessential Pacific Northwest restaurant, contextualizing its hyper-local, farm-direct produce through an Italian lens on the active strip of Mississippi Avenue in North Portland. Tartuca has formed partnerships with local farmers and respects their soulful work by treating their produce as simply as possible, letting the quality of the ingredients shine above all else. Inside Tartuca is a hip, bustling environment powered by a grooving soundtrack and abundantly flowing wine from a tightly curated All-Italian list that exclusively features small, artisanal producers making wine naturally from organic and biodynamically farmed vineyards, often from over-looked regions. For those seeking a quieter experience, Tartuca's best kept secret is a cozy back patio featuring a garden full of herbs that likely will garnish your pizza or bowl of pasta. We are excited to serve you! Abbondanza!
