Standing a little away from Portland's bustling city center, Nostrana serves up honest regional Italian fare in a warm and welcoming setting. The restaurant's outdoor facade is fairly standard with only a glimpse of the seating visible from the glass facade. Step in, and you'll be pleasantly surprised at what they've done with the place. Soaring ceilings that are topped with wood-work that...

So Delish!

I went with my family. It's the perfect mix of warmth, a little bit of trend, wine and cheese and a crazy-awesome chef who's a proven master at what she does. The food is tasty, every bite. The full sensory experience. Make a reservation today. I'll probably see you there.

This well-liked restaurant delivers delicious pizzas and wood-grilled specialties (even desserts) from their signature oven. Between pies topped with roasted squash and smoked mozzarella to those sprinkled with radicchio and pancetta, the pizzas here would make mamma mia proud. Other tempting entrées are the fresh prawns and Satsuma oranges with white bean purée, and the Tuscan pork ribs with...

Nostrana Restaurant Review

Nostrana is known for the thin, chewy pizzas that emerge in rapid succession from the wood-fired oven, topped with everything from Manila clams to lemon oil. Pair one with the eponymous salad, a bowl of radicchio tossed in a Caesar-style dressing, for a satisfying meal. The menu changes frequently but always offers temptations such as linguine with cantaloupe or braised rabbit leg with chive...

Inventive food, reasonable prices, comfortable digs---what more could a diner ask for? Nostrana offers rustic Italian fare prepared with flair. Chef Cathy Whims, formerly of Genoa, has created a neighborhood spot that transports diners to an authentic Italian experience. The large, arched-ceiling dining room is generally filled with families, couples and large parties seated at well-spaced...

Authentic Tuscan wood-fired cooking and a rustically elegant Italian Alpine setting lures the dolce vita crowd to the SE.

In Short
The large outdoor firewood rack in the entrance is well-stocked to stoke the glowing fires of the pizza oven and rotisserie, both visible through the open kitchen. Hickory...

For Italian food, is way overpriced. Price way too high for cocktails and wine.

Had a reservation, still had to wait almost an hour before we got a table. That just beats the purpose of having a reservation. And then no apology was made.

Tips about this business (3)

Look Good

Nostrana is the creation of four renowned Portland restaurateurs, Deb and Marc Accuardi of Gino's, David West of Produce Row Cafe and Cathy Whims of Genoa.

Where to Sit

Floor-to-ceiling windows slide open, connecting warm-weather outdoor seating and the dining room, so everyone can enjoy the sun.

What to Drink

A long bar separates kitchen and dining room, then curves around the front of a library-wall of liquor destined for Italian themed cocktails, like the Negroni, of Bombay, sweet vermouth and Campari.
