SerrattoLovely lunchA great place to sit and talk and eat some tasty Italian inspired food. Pasta dishes were good, especially the boar. Salads inspired...although the Kale, fennel, grapefruit salad was overwhelmed by the hot kale. More grapefruit and fennel please! Good service, attentive, helpful and full of good humor, but not overwhelming. Would go again.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways great!We keep returning because the food and wait staff are fantastic!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a treat to dine at Serrato!Just love dining at Serrato any time - lunch or dinner - its always a treat to be there. This time was particularly lovely as it was a beautiful and sunny day - sitting at a table by an open window - we were dining in paradise! Serrato represents Portland dining at its best - Quality, with understated elegance!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went for my daughters birthdayWe went for my daughters birthday and I had written that on the open table reservations. But they must not have got the note because most restaurants would bring the dessert with a candle. But other than that we ha a wonderful time !!!4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a leisurely meal forWe had a leisurely meal for our friends birthday (4 women) - away from kids and just relaxing -- we never felt pushed -- it was a wonderful evening!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWhile the restaurant supportsWhile the restaurant supports groups, and we were clearly in the company of at least two large (more than 8) person birthday dinners, this made it considerably less conducive for a romantic dinner for two. Boisterous would be a nice word to use for the crowd -- obnoxious would be more accurate for the table to my immediate right. Happily, the food and lovely wine were enough to distract me -- most of the time.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMSat upstairs in the loft area,Sat upstairs in the loft area, super comfy. Our waiter was educated and offered good recommendations. Food arrived as we ordered. Couldn't have been better!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMVery interesting menu. ExcellentVery interesting menu. Excellent food and service. Reservation process very easy via Open Table. Wine list was mehhh. We picked three desert but next time will go to Papa Heydn's. We will go back.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, relaxed atmosphereAppropriately priced, good homemade quality food, basic but with flair. Loved the mushroom raviolis in broth; it was different, light, and tasty. Wild boar pasta was amazing! Good, relaxed, romantic, atmosphere. Decent wine list. Will definitely come again with friends!3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMA GemWow! Unusual items - my wild boar dish was fantastic. Balanced flavors and variety for all palates. The amazing wine from a small winery in Spain was a bargain. We will be back!3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was delicious but myFood was delicious but my daughter thought her mac and cheese was a little tasteless. I also found the roasted artichoke we were served and, recommended by our server, very cumbersome to eat. Also, not really much value when you consider the price to flavor/portion of the dish--better have stuck to the calamari or something else on the appetizer menu. Lastly, our food came out pretty quickly but it also may be the reason why we weren't given the nice crusty bread they served in the tables around us. Despite this, I think it's a great place to hang out and have a nice meal!3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMKudos to SerrattoThis was not our first trip Serratto - but we love it every time. My recent addiction is kale. I used to hate it, and now I've found versions that are delicious. Serratto has a kale salad with grapefruit, fennel, and pine nuts that is delicious. And for dessert, the bittersweet chocolate cobbler is incredible. Worth every decadent calorie. Our service was excellent. If you haven't tried Serratto yet, check it out. Yummy.1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
