Reader Survey 2012: Best Italian in Portland

June 4, 2012 by PDX Food Dude 21 Comments

John Valls - Nostrana Restaurant

As happened in 2010 and 2011, Nostrana wins by a large majority for Portland's Best Italian Food. The separation between the second group is pretty close, so I listed a few. Last year Genoa was 2nd, so Tabla has moved up. 732 votes were cast. I think that the big disparity in price played a big part between Italia and Genoa, the latter being more expensive so less people are … [Read more...] about Reader Survey 2012: Best Italian in Portland

Reader Survey 2017: Best Italian Restaurant in Portland

Nostrana Restaurant Portland photo © John Valls Photo

What restaurant has the best Italian food in Portland? I was curious how this survey question was going to come out, as we've had a steady increase in Italian restaurants over the years. Looking back at older surveys shows the trend away from simply serving a Caesar salad and a bunch of pasta has reached maturity, and Tuscan influence is on almost every menu. Putting together … [Read more...] about Reader Survey 2017: Best Italian Restaurant in Portland

Reader Survey 2015: Best Italian Restaurant in Portland

Ava Genes Portland

Nostrana restaurant in Southeast topped the reader survey as the Best Italian Restaurant in Portland every year since they opened. Not so in 2015. Ava Genes jumped Nostrana by 4%, making it a clear winner, which surprises me because it is also probably the most expensive Italian in Portland, with large plates starting at $35. I am glad to see Firehouse and Luce making their … [Read more...] about Reader Survey 2015: Best Italian Restaurant in Portland

Reader Survey 2013: Best Italian Restaurant in Portland

John Valls - Nostrana Restaurant

For the fourth year in a row, Nostrana is your favorite Italian restaurant in Portland. There has been a bit of a shakeup in the rest of the placement. Ava Genes which opened since the last survey, has already picked up a significant number of votes. Mucca Osteria makes its first appearance on the list, at number three. Notable by their absence are Genoa, Tabla, and Cafe … [Read more...] about Reader Survey 2013: Best Italian Restaurant in Portland

Survey 2011: Best Italian Restaurant in Portland

Genoa-Dining-Room

This is another one of those questions where I was pretty sure what the top choice would be, but wanted to know what the others rated. I was a bit surprised, especially by the third choice. Maybe it is because it "feels" the most Italian of anywhere else in Portland that I can think of. Out of 814 votes cast: Nostrana – 1401 Southeast Morrison St. Portland, Oregon 97214 … [Read more...] about Survey 2011: Best Italian Restaurant in Portland
