Pastini was wonderf! The food and customer service were absolutely top-notch. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. The diverse menu offered a tantalizing array of delicious options, and every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was impeccable. The waitstaff was attentive and provided excellent recommendations. Our evening at Pastinis was the perfect introduction to the vibrant culinary scene of Portland. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience, and we look forward to returning in the future.

My friend and I were visiting Portland and we were looking for place to eat near our hotel. Pastini came up in our search engine and the food didn't disappoint. I had the Tagliatelle with Meat Sauce Bolognese and it was delicious!!! Our server was extremely friendly and personally. Would definitely go again.

We arrived at 8p and were able to get a table outside right away. The service was fast and friendly. There were several options with and without meat. I got the butternut squash ravioli which was great while my friend ate meatballs from the appetizer menu! I definitely recommend them for a quick, tasty, affordable Italian meal. An easy 15 min walk from The Hilton Porter Curio Collection.

While I love the Beaverton location, I love this location a little more. It’s beautiful inside to start. The food is amazing, my favorite dish is the caprese salad.. I can’t get enough of it! The staff killed it, they took such good care of us. I prefer getting on the road and driving downtown to come here. Give Olive Garden a break guys and come try something new. It’s such a fresh taste, I will forever love pastini!

  • Andrew Holbert

The food was nothing overly impressive yet still very tasty! The bread was hard and unfortunately the chicken was chewy. We really wanted Italian and Pastini had great reviews and seemed the best option in Downtown Portland. The aesthetic was very nice, as was the location! I would say it is more accurate to say the price range is $15 - $25.

I went to a pasta restaurant and unfortunately, it was a pretty terrible experience. The pasta was overcooked and mushy, and the sauce was bland and flavorless. The worst pasta I have ever had. The service was extremely slow and the staff was very rude. I went with a large group and everyone agreed that it was not worth the money as it was bland and just not good. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant if you are a fan of flavor.

Great menu with many options. I loved the lunch specials and can't wait to come back for dinner. The lunch portions were very satisfying. Soup was amazing, better than I expected and I had high hopes so they went above and beyond in every way. The wait staff was also polite and informative. Will be back any time I visit downtown Portland. $30 for two meals two drink and dessert. Definitely worth every penny.

I was genuinely surprised with this place. The environment is cozy and unique, while the staff is super friendly. I didn't have high expectations when I arrived but I really enjoyed the pasta. We got an artichoke dip, linguini pesto, and cheese ravioli. The portions are more than enough and the taste is superb.

its sad to say but the best part was the garlic bread (which was outstanding lol). my dish was so bland :( my linguini misto mare tasted like nothing. the only flavor was black pepper & there was next to no sauce. my friend enjoyed their spaghetti con gamberetti & the lemon dessert was good! food came out in record time & the staff is very nice.

Service was excellent—our waiter explained different options on the menu and was attentive. There are plenty of options for meat eaters and vegetarians with some seafood pasta options as well (mainly shrimp dishes). The pasta was delicious.

Pastini was a cute restaurant with friendly waitstaff and laid back classy vibes. There were pictures of Italy on the walls and the entrance of the restaurant was welcoming too. Their lunch menu offered excellent selections at $11.00. Can’t beat that for yummy Italian food. If we lived in the area, my hubby and I would be there more often!

Nice and tasty kind of fast-food style restaurant. The food is alright if you don’t expect a real traditional authentic Italian restaurant. Overall we were happy and everything really has a fair price. The Pappardelle with meat sauce were a bit different than expected. It wasn’t a traditional bolognese to us, more like goulash. Also the spicy Italian sausage wasn’t spicy. But I’d totally go again.

  • Megan Hall

This has been a 5 star review for a long time, but after our last visit not so much. Waitress was unreachable for anything, missed our appetizer and salad, and I had to walk up to the back counter to ask for drink refills. Love Pastini's food, and the service here has always been friendly in the past. Very disappointed.

Waiter was great, in fact he would be the reason I'd go back. Just honest, down to earth and happy. Food was really good but a bit over priced and the portions were smaller than I expected but probably all anyone needs.

I really wanted to love this place, but my pasta was beyond dry. There was so little sauce on my food it was honestly hard to eat. My husband didn't like his meal either as it was under seasoned. The tiramisu was decent, but overall a disappointing dinner.

Tried one of their lunch combos, Spaghetti Carbonara with soup, it was pretty good! Service might have been a bit slow, maybe they're understaffed.

Ordered through door dash and it was over $100 for some basic options. The food was nasty. Mostly disappointed with the price and value. The steamed spinach and brocolini had no flavor and sat in a pool of water. Don’t recommend, won’t be back. More

  • Chen Jan

Staff was very attentive and responsive although they were pretty busy serving many tables. Spinach salad was flavorful. Scampi and broccolini were good. In terms of pasta, I have to say they were not bad but not very impressive. The most

  • Victoria Miller

This is a good place. We went for dinner and the menu is good but completely limited to pastas and some salads. We had the tortellini with red sauce and the pasta primavera both of which were good. On nice thing is that for a few extra

  • Joahnna S

Always a great experience at Pastini. Carbonara is always good, caesar salad was fresh, mushroom soup delightful and of course the tiramisu was irresistible. The service was great! It was a great way to celebrate a friend's birthday.

  • Eileen Retzlaff

Our food was fantastic! Erin made suggestions for us as we had never been here. She did not steer us wrong! We had the short rib ravioli and cioppino. Both were delicious!
