Pastini

I love Pastini on Division so much!!! I’ve been away for a long while and was happy to find the quality and service are still awesome. The staff is fast, focused and friendly. The specials are super tasty, and menu items I always used to enjoy are still thoroughly enjoyable. I seem to recall there used to be fresh table-side grated Parmesan service, and I kind of miss that despite not being a huge Parmesan fan…it was always such a gracious amenity…but I get the price of cheese makes it not a cost-effective thing. Portions are still generous, lunch specials are a good deal, appetizers are tasty, the seasonal squash soup was out of this world stellar, and the mocktails are delightful and refreshing, What’s not to love!?!! Wish the parking lot was bigger, but it’s worth parking and walking for, and all the people I’ve taken to eat there have ended up loving the meal, service, and ambiance.

This was my first time coming to this restaurant, and I was nervous about it because I have food restrictions, and I am picky about my pastas. The food was amazing. The service was phenomenal. Our server was so helpful and patient with me. I have food restrictions, and they went above and beyond. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I will definitely be coming back. To the staff, thank you so much for a great experience. The only bad thing was the parking, but that's Portland for you. I can't fault the restaurant on that.

A tastfully graceful restaurant, the food and atmosphere complimented each other nicely. With a robust vegetarian menu and a surprisingly delightful selection of seafood options, Pastini is a great option for some light but filling pasta. Offering options to add meat and veggies to all their dishes, this is the perfect little spot for some delicious carbs.
