About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
Grand Amari is a traditional Italian dining destination inspired by the food traditions of Italy, fine Italian wine, and amaro. We are working with pasture raised proteins, seasonal local organic produce, and highlighting the quality of handmade products. Simplicity and care in our approach is key. Start your evening off by perusing our extensive wine list while enjoying a platter of scallop crudo with a glass of grower Champagne. Follow that with our delicate handmade pastas, then indulge in a thoughtfully crafted main course. Don't forget to get a bottle of Barolo with your bistecca! Wrap up your dinner with an array of Italian desserts and our indulgent amaro cart and menu.

    Great food andgreat staff, especially the sommelier. The noise level was very low making conversation with my dinner guests easy. Most places have someone’s playlist blasting in your ears, Grand Amari does NOT. Thank you for that!! I will go there again!

    One of the best meals we’ve had in Portland recently. Food, locally harvested, and simply prepared was exceptional and the raw scallop salad a revelation.

    Focaccia with anchove butter was amazing. Charcuterie plate was equally great. Duck Ragu was impressive as was the duck entree.

    Great restaurant and staff. Amazing cocktails as well. We had a pre-drink in the lobby bar and then a meal. The waiter was great and had great recommendations. Food and drink a bit on the high side for price but overall a great experience.

    I really enjoyed the food here and our server was amazing. I think my biggest callout was that the service was pretty slow. Also, the portions of the food are fairly little in comparison to the plate prices. I wasn’t expecting that at an Italian restaurant. But the food was good!

    I had a lovely birthday dinner at Grand Amari. The highlight of all was our server. Sadly, I didn't ask his name, but he was just perfect in is attentiveness and friendly manner: just right, and not too much. Please thank him again for us. Good recommendations from the menu, patience with our indecision, and great wine suggestion. The restaurant is lovely, and I can never understand why it isn't busier. But that does make it quiet, which is fine with me! We had delicious salt cod raviolis, a light and bright salad, delicious Babette steak and delicious focaccia. If I could change one thing, I beg you to bring back the tablecloth!
