Ribollita

Romantic for our dinner date, open kitchen, fresh menu, I suggest reservations, this small space has everything you need packed in. Staff on point, friendly, not stuffy, food is exceptional with hand made pasta. A manageable selection of wine, not to overwhelming, my only regret was not getting dessert, next time!

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. But what truly elevated our experience was our phenomenal waitress, Linea. Her professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge of the menu were unmatched. I had a simple request—no cheese—and without hesitation, she ensured my meal was prepared exactly as I wanted, all while making me feel valued and heard. But let’s talk about the food. Flawless. Spectacular. A symphony of flavors that transported me straight to culinary heaven. Every bite was a masterpiece, bursting with authenticity and crafted with care. You can tell that this restaurant takes pride in delivering not just a meal, but an experience—one that engages all the senses. And the service? Let’s just say I’m metaphorically (and almost literally) doing a triple

One of Portland's best-kept secrets! We're locals, and have tried so many great restaurants on the peninsula, but Ribollita is by far one of our absolute favorites! To us, this is one of the few remaining spots that truly feels like you're dining at home with family and friends. The atmosphere is always inviting and cozy. The service is always friendly. Above all, the food is always delicious and clearly made with care and love. My favorite items from the menu have to be the North End style linguini with shell fish and white sauce, and the homemade vanilla ice cream with biscotti. This is a true family-owned and operated restaurant. You don't find too many of them these days, with so many newer restaurants being owned by hospitality groups and investors.

MJ was THE most incredible host! She was welcoming on the phone and in person. The food and wine selection was incredible too! I was a solo traveler and she made me feel welcomed and part of her family! The bean balsamic ravioli was divine. Thank you!

We were spontaneous tonight and decided to try Ribollita. We’ve had always known about it, but never had the chance to give them a try. We made the right choice! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is very cozy — like we’re over someone’s house for dinner. Everything that we ordered was amazing, and the portion sizes were more than decent. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth. I was blown away by the flan not only for its wonderful flavor, but for its velvety texture. Ribollita is a mom-and-pop shop, and I can’t stress enough the importance of supporting a small, family-run business such as this. Big shout out to MJ for being a lovely server, and Kevin for the well-curated menu. See you again soon, thank you!
