About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
Grand Amari is a traditional Italian dining destination inspired by the food traditions of Italy, fine Italian wine, and amaro. We are working with pasture raised proteins, seasonal local organic produce, and highlighting the quality of handmade products. Simplicity and care in our approach is key. Start your evening off by perusing our extensive wine list while enjoying a platter of scallop crudo with a glass of grower Champagne. Follow that with our delicate handmade agnolotti or squid ink bucatini, then indulge in grass fed bistecca alla fiorentina or salt crusted branzino. Don't forget to get a bottle of Barolo with your bistecca! Wrap up your dinner with an array of Italian desserts and our indulgent amaro cart and menu.

    The endive salad is more abstract art than food. The gnocchi's were delicious.

    I have been to Grand Amari twice now this month, stopping by Little Bitter Bar first copy, and I am so happy to have found this place! The service is excellent, the food delicious, wonderful, cocktails, and the ambience is perfect for a romantic evening or a dinner with friends. I frequent many restaurants in Portland, and always have a problem with the noise level, particularly music, making it difficult to converse. Not so here.Grand Amari hits all the right buttons.

    The local Italian restaurant offers a satisfactory dining experience with commendable service. While the short ribs were overcooked, and other rusher were at best, ok, these flaws do overshadow the overall experience. It is important to note that the quality of food at this establishment falls short of expectations when compared to more higher end Italian restaurants.

    The food was incredibly tastful and presented as a plate of beauty. The pasta with seafood was absolutely beautiful and even more delicious. My wifes pork plate she said was so good she at it all when she rarely finishes anything. The wind selection was also remarkable.
