So good! It's a little loud so not the place for an intimate convo but that's because it's busy because the food and service are really good. I had the seafood tortellini, the oysters, bread, prosciutto, and a few glasses of orange win
There are not enough words to describe what an incredible
There are not enough words to describe what an incredible experience dining here was. It fired on every level, in such a way that I will always remember this meal. The ambiance, the vibe and the decor... exceptional. The service was truly one of th
The ambiance was cozy for a rainy night.
we went for a birthday celebration and left feeling special. the service and food was amazing.

Admittedly I do not like the automatic 22% service charge on all checks that is not considered a tip. However, I give full stars to Nostrana because their food, service, and setting are all excellent. One of the finest restaurants in Portland imho. T
Fettuccini dish was $33 and tasted like hamburger helper.
It wasn't bad, but didn't feel worth the price. Same with the pizza. Nice ambiance but would recommend somewhere else for food.

We visit portland at least once a year, and Nostrana had been a favorite restaurant. Once our most recent visit (10.9.2025), our food was terrible. My wife had the trout dish, and complained about how salty it was. I had the gnocchi chicken, duck
Third time back @ Nostrana.
Amazing vibe. Outstanding food. Excellent service. I will be back!
Went to this place for dinner when visiting Portland
Went to this place for dinner when visiting Portland recently. Sat at the bar and ordered from their late happy hour menu. Our server was delightful and helpful when I asked her for recommendations. The ambiance was so warm and inviting. Everyone

The food was well flavored and paced nicely to allow for great conversation and coursing of meals. I will say the meat pasta dish tasted a lot like hamburger helper but everything else was phenomenal. The pork shoulder stole the show.
this place is so bad.
.. I called and reserved a romantic table for my wife for our anniversary. They gave us the closest table to the hostess booth with nonstop traffic.. The food was awful for the price point and the wine pour was pathetic, maybe 4 oz at most.! This

Love Love Love! I've hosted a few business meetings at this adorable gem, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is charming, making it perfect for both casual and professional gatherings. I started with the strawberry mocktail--light, refres
We had a great experience here.
Came for our first wedding anniversary and loved it! The food was divine! The pizza, pasta, and tiramisu were all delicious. My wife had some sort of orange wine as well that she absolutely loved! Our server was very friendly and highly knowledgeable
My wife and I joined a dear friend who recommended this
My wife and I joined a dear friend who recommended this restaurant that she knew in Southeast Portland. After arriving, we noticed immediately it was a nice day that they had an outdoor patio, which really made the difference for us. So we sat down.
God where do I start? This place was phenomenal.
Had reservations at 7:15 and got there a lil bit early to get a drink at their bar first. The bartender, Randy, was so enthusiastic to give us reccs and explain their menu more. The bathroom was so cute and fun LOL- definitely check that out. We were

Was somewhat reluctant to try this place given reviews but after dinner tonight, I can honestly say I'm so surprised there are ANY bad reviews! The service was quick and super friendly. We told them it was our anniversary and they gave us a com
Like Rome for awesome Italian cuisine and wine!
Absolutely amazing Italian Wine list. And the Pizza is to die for. The thin crust is remarkably delicious. Also sitting at the high tops outdoors was most enjoyable!
Beautiful restaurant with excellent entrees and service
Our group of 6 arrived a little bit before our 7:15 pm reservation time, so we checked in and wandered through their large garden just across the street. Great space and they definitely pop over to harvest stuff for the kitchen. The restaurant is b
Food was decent but absolutely expensive for no reason.
Service was great all though.
Another great experience at Nostrana! Of course the service
Another great experience at Nostrana! Of course the service was excellent as always. Everyone is very friendly. The scallops were fresh and the corn crema was delicious. I love how every dish her is not too salty or too sweet and just made to perfect
We had reservations for Enoteca Nostrana and were happily
We had reservations for Enoteca Nostrana and were happily seated in the bar area. The service was great and it was fun to watch the action. We enjoyed our cocktails and the food. The radicchio salad was on point and the grilled peppers were excellent
Came here on "Meatball Monday".
Man I've never had meatballs so dry, and no sauce on the pasta didn't make it much better. They charge a mandatory 22% service fee, and the service was horribly slow. Not great!
I've been going to this restaurant for years, and I love
I've been going to this restaurant for years, and I love the fact that the menu changes every day. However, prices are higher almost every time I visit, and the last couple of times that I've visited, the service was really subpar. Recently
Food was average Trout for me and my wife was "way"
Food was average Trout for me and my wife was "way" overdone Pasta was too salty Don't order the octopus Bread was cold and old As far service goes, it turned out if you add 22% to bill as " service charge " leave the serve
Not Worth The Hype
My previous experience at Nostrana was during COVID…eat outside, disposable utensils, no service, etc. On top of the obvious restrictions the food was just ehhhhh. This was my first time returning since that overpriced mediocre gastronomic experie
Not Good to Seek More than 22%
We have enjoyed dining at Nastrana several times a year because the food is good, but now want to warn others. While we are comfortable with the concept of a 22% mandatory tip, we are not comfortable when the server then tells us that Nostrana’s ma
Memorable and delicious experience
Fabulous food, lovely atmosphere. Sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive and super kind. We had burrata bruschetta, pasta with meatballs, the trout, pizza, and fruit crisp for dessert. Would definitely eat here again. The outside di
Nostrana is not a top Portland Italian spot now
Service at the main restaurant Nostrana is just not that good. We had a 7pm reservation and didn't get seated until 7:30. A flat 22.5% gratuity is added to the bill and that definitely does not promote good service (and they ask for an additiona
Relaxing, enjoyable dinner choice
This restaurant was a great dinner choice. The wine choices were plentiful, and the wine themed decor added to a very nice experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming - the waitstaff were engaging and attentive. I would definitely return whe
"Good Italian! Just Be Ready For The Service Fee"
I reached out to Nostrana with an unusual request: ordering food to go. They really don't do takeout, but the host I spoke with over the phone obliged me(ordered 30 mins before closing). The service was warm and attentive, and my order was read
Mandatory service charges and paying for bread left a bad taste in my mouth.
Will not return since mandatory service charge and charging for BREAD! Was a loyal customer since they opened but no longer. Too expensive, food getting lackluster, resting on their laurels, etc, etc. Don't get me wrong, some things were still
Authentic!
An authentic Italian restaurant with a menu which changes nightly. The wine list was extensive and the variety of craft cocktails was entertaining. Very tasty dinner with great flavor and very attentive service.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Nostrana Portland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Nostrana Portland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Nostrana Portland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Nostrana Portland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Nostrana Portland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
