Ate there this evening. Spaghetti carbonara and the mixed desert platter. Highly recommend.

Hands down the best Italian spot in Portland! I knew I was in for a great meal when I wanted to try every single item on the menu. The Amatriciana I had was incredible. Rich with so many layers of flavor, freshness, and spice. Truly one of those cases where I left full, but I didn't want the meal to end. The atmosphere is very cozy, much more laid back, with most customers in casual clothes. The restaurant overlooks the Portland waterfront, which at night, certainly lends to a magical air. It's really such a great spot for date night. The staff were all very kind and helpful, offering their opinions and being overall so friendly. Our server, who happened to pick out the featured red/white wine, did not hesitate to admit she did not like the featured white, and instead offered a different route that ended up being absolutely perfect. I have not had too many incredible experiences with Italian food in Oregon, despite living here my entire life, but safe to say that I will be returning many times to Il Terrazzo!

Finally got back to Portland and hit one of my favorite restaurants I'll Terazzo. Imagine my surprise when I went in to see the remodeling that has been done but the biggest was that the manager/chef Micheal is no longer there. Some of the old staff is still there and the service was as great as always. The food was still v good. The wines by the glass list has shrunk with fewer Italian wines available, particularly in the reds. I will go back but will keep an eye on it to see what transpires after the changes settle in it's only been about 3 months. More to come!

The food was good, but not great. You may disagree, but as a foodie I wasn't blown away by anything, which was a little disappointing. The bread service was reminiscent of several day old bread from the grocery store. I liked the creamy and savory tartufo, but the pasta was a little too... dense? The traditional bolognese was good, although a bit bland. However, the romantic ambience, great service, and stunning views/location cannot be overlooked. Almost makes up for the food. It's not at all bad, I've just had better.

Cozy restaurant right by the waterfront! They serve delicious pasta with an awesome view. It's wise to make a reservation due to limited seating! BURRATA Creamy burrata cheese served with arugula, tomato, and balsamic. This dish didn't win me over; I felt like it was missing something... TRADITIONAL BOLOGNESE Slow-cooked meat ragu simmered for 6 hours and served with fresh tagliatelle pasta! I had to try this classic dish, and it didn't disappoint. Its simplicity and bold flavors were delightful. The sauce had a great balance of acidity, though a tad oily. ZAFFERANO Penne bathed in a creamy sauce infused with the rich flavor of saffron. The saffron adds a floral note that elevates the dish in a sophisticated manner. I really enjoyed this pasta--trying it was a treat, especially since saffron is so boujeeeee. However, I probably wouldn't order it again. My husband didn't like the prominent saffron flavor. TIRAMISU No Italian date night is complete without tiramisu, and Il Terazzo's version is a winner. Layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers nestled in velvety mascarpone cream strike the perfect balance between sweet and creamy. This dessert is indulgent yet light, leaving you wanting just one more bite! We can't stop craving it. Pretty large for a dessert - perfect for splitting with your favorite person. I will be back just for this! DRANKSSS French 75 - gin, lemon syrup, bubbs. This one was exceptionally good. One of the best 75s I've ever had

Why you should dine here: Willamette waterfront view off the marina boardwalk is an absolute chillax time and one of the best outdoor dining spots in PDX. The service is always the most professional & top notch! The host is always partnering with the wait staff in steady attentiveness. Each of them with the right personality. The food ~ delish! Pasta is all dente perfect, wine suggestions right on, portions are great, etcetera. Enjoyed every time. Parking garage nearby or street parking on the south end of the boardwalk. A nice stroll along the marina before and after dinner.

While traveling home on vacation to our home in Eugene, we spent a day and night in Portland. On the recommendation of some friends who live in Portland, we tried Il Terrazzo. Excellent choice! We typically split, not to save money, but because most servings are simply too large and we would rather leave comfortable than massively stuffed. We paired a split Caesar Salad and Boscaiola with a couple of glasses of a local Cabernet Sauvignon. Everything was excellent! And... no split charge. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The location is right on the Portland Waterfront and within walking distance of our hotel. A win-win all around. Definitely will recommend.

This was a last minute decision since we were down by the marina and it was very nice. We were seated in the bar, which was cozy and had a nice view out over the river. D'Layne was our server and she was so helpful. She'd actually tried most of the menu and so could give us good advice, which we needed since most of the dishes were unfamiliar. We started with the soup of the day and the Caesar salad. Both were good but the soup - tomato bisque - was rich and creamy and perfect for a cold wet winter night. The fresh mint popped and set it apart from the usual bisque. We then had the Boscaiola and the Burro Di Salvia. The Boscaiola was rich and creamy with sausage and mushrooms. The Burro was delicious and light - a sweet potato ravioli with sage. We finished with the cannoli. My favorite was the rum raisin. This is a great option on the waterfront.
