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.

    Food was excellent We had the trout with rabbit pappardelle. Both dishes were excellent. Kat was our hostess and was very well informed about Italian cuisine and wine. We will be back soon.

    An extremely good restaurant that is under the radar. Great service, great food. Excellent Italian wines. Portland has many great spots to eat, and we've been to most, but since finding this gem, we've come back often.

    Excellent food. More like being in Italy than Americans version of Italian food. And probably the best tomorrow selection I’ve seen any restaurant or bar in the US.

    The room itself is beautiful, the food well executed- delicious really, but something about the acoustics or the ambiance of the place or something made it feel cold/empty even though there were plenty of people dining and the lighting was perfect. Our server and everyone on staff was outstanding. Hard to put a finger on why the vibe was slightly off since the room was so aesthetically appealing on a visual level. Great meal though. I’ll definitely be back!
