Mike Mosher: the garlic chili oil is awesome with any pasta (and even better if you add a chicken breast). the spinach salad is always super fresh, and the iced tea is refreshing.
tiva forman: get the fresh bucatini pasta in the cold case to make at home!
Judy Danch: fresh made pasta, good, casual, and have take home packs.

Taylor Fleck: Best pasta I've ever had was the corn agnolotti lobster. Get the DUCK!!!! We sat at the chiefs table which is a must. If you like beef the rib eye and the wagyu made us second guess our order.
Paula Burley: Smart, insightful servers, amazing cheese, salads and non-standard pasta dishes.
Sara James: You can't go wrong with any of the pastas on the menu. Also loved the Panna Cotta last time I was there. A great recommendation by our very helpful waitress.

RTWgirl Arnette: I had the lunch special and loved the tagliatelle
Benjamin Chait: Start with focaccia and some polpette. Add some wine. And enjoy a half pasta per person, being sure to share (I had the pappardelle with rabbit, which was great). Perfect, simple meal.
Sophie: Really good pasta and antipasti. A half order of pasta is pretty much all but the hungriest need - full plates are better for sharing.

GourmetLive: Chef Cathy Whims serves up perfect oven-roasted pizzas (which is based on a venerable sourdough brought over form Nice), elegant hand-wrought pastas, lusty Italiante steaks, and fire-baked fish dishes
Courtney Shannon: Happy hour menu available after 9 p.m. includes their excellent margarita pizza for $6 and their take on mac & cheese. Pasta special is always excellent too.
Wilson Favre-Delerue: Passes the good Italian restaurant test w/ flying colours: delicious, thin pizzas, equally delicious pasta and classic Italian desserts. The negroni of the month never fails to impress.

Kirseá Hukenflugen: Simple, delicious, house-made pasta dishes. No gimmicks, just quality.
Nick Sawyer: The rigatoni is my absolute favorite, but whatever you choose, don't forget some of their delicious garlic bread!
Jenna G.: Tagliatelle or radiatore with bolognese is amazing with shaved pecorino to top it off. Whatever you get, don't forget the side of garlic bread!

Amanda Wormann: Be sure to try the Mac n cheese, it's amazing. Our waitress wasn't too stellar but the rest of the staff was great.
sabrinawc: Chicken tenders, Mac n Cheese, Pulled Pork Sandwich, and PECAN PIE. Must have.
Gehlen Exum: Omg. Have a scarlet o'hara. Or a Texas black gold. And please, please order the Mac and cheese, brisket, and if you already fit the fab five pounds of food and have room- get dessert- you're worth it.

Ben Fowler: The free bread is awesome. Had the tagliatelle with wild boar ragu. Damn good and a hefty portion for such a high falutin' joint.
Portland Monthly: Planted on a bustling corner in Nob Hill, where eateries scramble for the attention of dapper passersby, Serratto has reeled in diners in with toothsome pastas and roasts for 25 years. Read more.
Rene Moore: Great food. Rigatoni fresh.
