" If you're looking for authentic Italian pasta in Portland, Grassa is where you need to go. I tried the black truffle pappardelle and it was extraordinary! The texture was perfect, and the flavors were rich and wholesome. The environment was cozy, and I appreciated the communal style even if it was a bit packed. Be prepared to wait a little during peak hours; it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got the chance to try Grassa and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was bustling yet comfortable, and I could see the chefs making pasta right before my eyes. I had the garlic butter pasta and a side of calamari, both of which were delectable! The only drawback was the limited dessert options, but I was too full from all that pasta anyway. Highly recommend for pasta enthusiasts! " (*Curated Review*)

" Extraordinary experience at Grassa! The pasta was freshly made, and the sauces were incredibly flavorful. I was particularly impressed with the vodka pasta, which had just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, although the service could be a bit quicker during busy times. Overall, it was a delightful meal that I would happily repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a hidden gem in Portland! Grassa blew my taste buds away with their handmade pasta. I ordered the rigatoni, and the flavors were spot on! I loved the homey vibe and watching the chefs at work was a real treat. The only downside was that I felt a bit rushed since it was so busy, but I guess that's part of the charm! Can't wait to go again and try their mac and cheese. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Grassa and I was thoroughly impressed! The pasta tasted incredibly fresh, and the garlic bread was amazing, especially when dipped in the sauce. The service was quick, and the staff was very friendly. My only criticism would be the communal dining which isn’t my preference, but it added an interesting element to the meal. I will be back!

" A true gem in Portland! Grassa’s pasta dishes taste just like the ones I had in Italy—authentic and fulfilling. I had the Fusilli a la Vodka, and it was simply divine. The staff were attentive even though it was busy, and the ambiance had a fun energy to it. It can get a bit loud, but that just adds to its charm. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is an absolute delight! I had the Black Truffle Pappardelle, and it was without question some of the best pasta I've tasted. The ambience was laid-back, yet classy—perfect for a date night. My only complaint was that the portions felt a tad small, but the quality more than made up for it. The service was friendly, and I will definitely come back for more authentic Italian dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
