Trattoria Gallo Nero - Portland

I live locally and have come here for over 10 years. The food is terrific and includes many vegetarian options. The family and their employees are always warm and kind. We are fortunate to have them in our neighborhood!

My mother, sister and I were visiting Portland over Mother's Day and came in for a last minute dinner. What a delight. First off, our server was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the whole menu, and everything she brought us was delicious. I ordered the pasta pomodoro and it was simple but just spot on in terms of flavor and texture. My favorite aspect of the meal was the cocktail I ordered. I'm not super knowledgeable about wine if you are, then you've got lots of options! so I went for the sfumato and soda cocktail. And it was FANTASTIC. I ordered two of them and when I got home, I asked my husband to recreate it for me. He called the bartender, who gave him the scoop! Super nice. A cool place staffed by good people.

What a wonderful restaurant! Shoutout to the very friendly waitress and Davide the owner who made me feel at home. The food is definitely legit, and they had a good selection of Italian wines. I was happy to find some real pasta that al dente, delicious! The Tiramisù was also really good. Absolutely back!

Amazing food, service, and ambiance! My partner and I were traveling and found this gem for dinner. The house made pasta was the best! The sommelier recommended a wine and it was delightful! Everything about the experience was perfect! If you?re in the area, you MUST try this! ?

Came in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to get a table right away, though I'm sure the situation differs for dinner. They offer a wide variety of authentic Italian food ranging from appetizers, entrees, and dessert. We really enjoyed the meal overall, everything tasted great! I highly recommend you top the meal off with a delicious cappuccino if you still have room.
