"First visit to Tartuca. Sat at the bar. Loved the view of the open kitchen—truly added to the experience. Ordered the Burrata salad. Excellent gateway dish to the meal—beautiful sensory balance: delicate sweet-sour agrodolce sauce, crisp Belgian endive, silky burrata, crunchy-soft focaccia shards. Chose the Radiatori for its bolognse simplicity. Good sauce-pasta "grip," but oversalting blocked the meat and basil flavors. Wine recs were good! (Ugh... didn't capture what I ordered!) Loved the birthday Tiramisu and espresso. Excellent friendly service from the greeting to bar tend and food server. Thank you ❤️ Welcoming atmosphere—warm wood tones and lighting. I look forward to a second visit!"

"Yum yum yum. Randomly went in on a Friday night without reservation and we were blown away! Exceptional plates of food and sincere diligent service. Love the open kitchen lay out - we got 6 dishes off the menu and a multitude of fabulous cocktails. We got two apps, 2 small plates and 2 pastas and ended up very full! Would highly recommend to anyone. The bolognese, the meatballs and the parsnips with ricotta were some of our favs! I loved the oysters too."

"We had an excellent meal here. Everything was fresh and delicious and John was an excellent server. The focaccia is so light with a toasty top and paired with excellent olive oil. Both pastas we had were great, oysters on the half shell were extremely fresh. 5/5"

"We had such a great experience at Tartuca PDX! The food was really good—loved both the bucatini and campanelle pasta, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The housemade focaccia was amazing, light and fluffy with the right amount of chew. But the star surprise for us were the olives—absolutely bomb, rich and briny, just like the classic Kalamata straight from Greece. We were a little bummed they had already run out of the pork osso bucco (it sounded incredible!), but that just gives us another reason to come back and try it next time. Overall, a cozy spot with fantastic pasta and unforgettable flavors. Definitely worth a visit!"

"Modest menu but with farm to table ingredients so everything is high quality and fresh. Small but cozy ambience. The crudo was absolutely delicious. Their cocktail is amazing - I had the old Navy drink and it was my absolute favorite. Their menu rotates frequently so I'll be back to try more."
