Caviar - Portland

So thankfully that my friend wanted to eat here. we were not disappointed. we had the black bell mac n cheese, carbonara, cacio e pepe and a caesar salat. my Gauner danced all the time. I honestly can't stop thinking about the pigeon bauch mac n cheese. it was in a league of his own. I could eat it until I was sick, it was so good. the caesar was also amazing. my friend enjoyed the other two dishes. we can't wait to visit again.

I was here on business and we loved that you could quickly get some good pasta and good drinks. We shared a lot of our dishes. The meatballs were pretty good but not great. The mac and cheese with pork belly was fantastic. We really enjoyed ourselves. The service wasn't bad but everyone working there seemed a little angry. Not a lot of smiles. That's okay the food and drinks were quick.

Our new favorite place as the pastas are made by hand and many specific to the dishes (one even has mushroom powder in it! . The Milanese has amazing sauce and pasta and even though the portion looks smaller, it's extremely filling because of its dense, nutty, rich flavor. The chicken part is average and needs seasoning of the protein and covering, but the Pork Belly Mac&Cheese is good. Overall ambiance needs clear definition as it looks like a industrial cafe/sports bar/mid dining with some Italian elements but no clear design. Prices are higher (most dishes $12-15 , but WELL worth it and you won't leave hungry. The music is atrocious; ACDC is great for a concert, not for dining!

The worst thing about this place was the volume level of the music. We asked (twice) that they turn it down and they said they would but didn't. Aside from that, my order was delivered to the wrong table and they didn't catch the error until I got up and asked what was happening with my food, but that can happen and I wouldn't write a review about it unless I was unhappy with the place anyway. The pasta is pretty good but not great, and it's over-priced.
