Serratto, Portland, OR P148
 
A Top Pick in the Area
 
The old Delphina's was closed, gutted and remodeled as Serratto...What an improvement!  Despite The Oregonian's B- rating and their comments "...the food doesn't match the remodeling", this is an excellent Italian restaurant.  As is sometimes the case, I wonder what the folks at the Portland daily newspaper were thinking...or did they actually eat at the same restaurant as I?

Serratto's is a bit on the expensive side and does nothing to buck the current trend in Portland restaurants who seemingly thrive on noisy environments, but the menu has some excellent choices. 

I had the ravioli stuffed with white beans, my companion the pan seared scallops...both were excellent. 

The bread is perhaps the best I've had this side of Rome. 

Food: A+. Attitude: A. Ambiance: B for the noise. Parking: Can be a problem. Service: A. Value: A-.
