Insane prices and it's essentially a food cart. The courses are small and while the "course" meal is interesting, it doesn't fit the experience. If it was in a "fine" dining setting it would make sense but it's not. The red pasta sauce for example was bland and the noodles were over cooked. The shrimp was again like the pasta, overcooked. Some of the other "courses" were not appetizing to my pallet unfortunately.
I love Italian food and this place really didn't feel Italian, from the seating, atmosphere, or even the food. The staff were nice and seemed knowledgeable on the menu but also pushed wine way too much. If a customer says they don't want a wine you don't keep pushing them.
Overall, this place is okay however it's way overpriced and for the high price pasta and shrimp was overcooked. Also, the pasta sauce was bland. Looking at the reviews you can tell real people from possibly paid ones. Be wary and honestly, I've never been asked by a staff member how much I was looking to spend when being seated at a restaurant (food cart in this case). I've been places around Portland, the US, and serval countries and this is the first time. Also, the staff didn't seem to care that my party had overcooked food which is another first in this type of price range.
Artigiano is a perfectly executed, fresh-food Portland take on the little hole in the wall you dream of finding while wandering the streets of Rome.
As you stroll down Division in a Friday evening, let the sweet sound of jazz and the sizzle of octopus be your guide. Walk to the graciously open cart window and let Chef Rachael Grossman take you on the mythical foodie journey you've always wanted, appropriately called a "feast."
A glass of prosecco in one hand and a marinated, traditionally prepared shrimp in the other, let the decidance of Artigiano and its plates of delicately cooked lamb and handmade pasta be the mini-vacation you need.
This is a food cart with table-side service and some covered seating, with a heatlamp. Dogs ok. Great for groups or a solo meal. Reservations recommended.
