Pasta

Gilda’s is a cozy, lovely Italian restaurant downtown Portland. They serve hearty pasta and other Itialian dishes. We choose Rigatoni alla Bolognese, Gnocchi with Brown- Butter Sage & Pistachios and Pappardelle ai Cinghiale. The latter which was mine had Wild Boar, Braised in Chianti, Dark Chocolate, Castelvetrano Olives & San Marzano Tomato Sauce. It was a wonderful treat and I enjoyed it very much. The baked garlic bread paired perfectly. The wine was decent. Street parking is catch as catch can.✌🏼

INSIDER TIP: The Driftwood Room in The Hotel deLuxe just around the corner has superb craft cocktails.
