Reviews For Trattoria Gallo Nero

Legitimately one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever experienced in the US. I have lived in Italy and my husband is Italian and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our dinner. The wine selection is varied and thoughtfully curated. We enjoyed a bottle of Sardinian Carignano which is a rare find in the states. The prices are more than reasonable. We had a lovely locally sourced steak that melted in the mouth for 32. Bread is homemade fresh TWICE daily and the meat and cheeses were top quality. If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC Italian in Portland, look no further. Nero Gallo has it all; great food, prices, staff, atmosphere and we will most definitely be back. *some photos I took after I already started eating!

We reserved for dinner, having never been and on vacation with our young daughter. Having been to other restaurants where kids are looked down upon, this was different. The food was excellent, the wine recommendations and service was amazing, but how they all said hi to our 1.5 year old welcoming her in, making sure she got full service, checking in on just her to make sure she was doing great, she was included every step if the way and she loved dining out. PS - She loved the veal, please put that on regular rotation.

Living here many years always past by, glad we tried yall out. Great experience from walking in to sitting down and whole dining experience , host, bartender , serviceman, (** not a complaint just saying, its too quite inside hearing everyone conversation, music UP, just a little would be a nicer ambiance) THANKS for making our date night amazing! FOOD was over the top grand!

Very romantic atmosphere in the restaurant. Waiting staff speaks Italian, for those who may need. The food was very yummy. The wine recommendations/ pairing was spot on perfect. I enjoyed my meal here and speaking with the staff I look forward to visiting again with my husband started the meal off right with an incredible caprese salad. The mozzarella and balsamic are top notch. Nice fresh tomatoes. Pasta tasted authentic. Tiramisu was good but the neighboring gelato looked really good too. I will have to come back.

Delicious, comforting food in an unpretentious and comfortable setting. Service was on point--attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. The caprese salad was a surprise hit, and both the meat (beef and boar) and pasta (strozzapreti) dishes we had were very flavorful, yet well balanced. Portion sizes were appropriate for the price and not over the top, allowing us room to enjoy appetizers and dessert as well. This was my second time there, after a first visit a couple weeks ago (where the lasagna was the star). It won't be the last.

Our first visit and we were astonished. For all the publicity a close-by Italian trattoria gets, how does this (in our opinion) superior restaurant get overlooked? Our table of six ordered Verza and Caprese salads, Mushroom Bruschetta, Gnocchi, Ravioli, and Baked Cod. We also shared lemon desserts and Tiramisu. The service was excellent, food beautiful, refined, and delicious. Restaurant decor is restrained and the atmosphere a low buzz. This means we could hear one another which made our dinner together particularly enjoyable. We look forward to returning.

Our 2nd time here and it was just as good as the 1st - which was 7 years ago! We shared the Burrata and bread plate, she had the mushroom risotto, I had the Pici. Our waiter Ibrahim (I hope I spelled that right!) recommended an amazing Barbera wine to go with our meal. He was friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything was perfect and overall it was a great way to celebrate our anniversary. We will NOT be waiting another 7 years to go back!
