Piazza Italia is a noisy Italian bar, similar to those found in Rome and Florence. The limited menu items are prepared well, with very large portions and are served hot and fresh. Overall menu is limited by the small size of the kitchen. No liquor (grappa/port/etc), just fairly expensive wine and some beers. The ever-present TV and the very, very loud music, combined with the lackluster servers make this a place to grab lunch or a very casual evening meal. Don't bring a date for dinner, you can't hear each other talk! Other places in Portland have more varied food and quieter dining rooms.
Pros: Authentic Italian, Large Portions
Cons: , Not relaxing, Disinterested servers
