Degarios Ristorante

Wow! This place blew us away! Amazing food and ambience but nothing was as top notch as the service. We had two younger guys, Alan and Haas, helping us throughout the night and they couldn’t have been more cordial, helpful, and friendly. It was such a treat to eat here and the staff made it all such a great overall experience. Btw, girlfriend had the saffron tortellini, and I had the bolognese- to die for!!! Oh and the drinks were surprisingly magnificent as I didn’t imagine it would be their speciality. Thanks Degarios

This restaurant aspires to be the best Italian restaurant in the Portland area. Outside it looks like your average mall eatery. Inside its just a little better...one large room chock full of plasticized wood tables, no booths. The staff is friendly and the service prompt. We hit on two out of three entrees. The lasagna was very good. The gnocchi with Italian rubbed pork tenderloin was excellent. The shrimp in saffron risotto? The shrimp were perfect with a delicious spicing, but that yellow stuff in the middle was definitely not risotto. The prices were fair for what we received, but the ambiance and cuisine are not up to a fine Italian restaurant.

This has easily become one of my favorite restaurants in the area after 2 years of living here. I breathed a sigh of relief as I bit into the first phenomenally spiced dish I've had in years. My order of Saffron Tortellini compared equally in flavor and presentation with my husband's Gnocchi pork tenderloin and both were served steaming hot. Our appetizer, the "cream brulee" fondue was addictively dangerous. Our waiter was a very courteous and prompt gentleman that served us and made us feel welcome. Each cocktail we tried: Serrento Passion, Mojito-cello, and Strawberry Genovese; was sweet, flavorful, and a good balance of alcohol. I ordered the tiramisu to go and am very excited to try it for breakfast tomorrow. I will definitely be coming back here again.

Stopped by and enjoyed a delightful meal here and was thoroughly impressed with the restaurant decor upon arriving. The food was absolutely spot on! The waiters were beyond attentive and ensured I knew what I was eating. I have an allergy and they catered to my needs which is a +1. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice dinner date/family. Will see me regularly & thanks so much for the remarkable service.
