2838 SE Belmont Street, Portland, Oregon, 97214

Why they’re dreamy:
Because the saffron arancini, filled with Dungeness crab and ricotta, made me want to lick my plate clean. That is all. (And trust me, it’s enough.)

Why they’re dreamy:
Sassy starters like sauteed scallops with fennel and cauliflower mushrooms, and adorable arancini- fried risotto balls filled with luscious, gooey fontina cheese. The chanterelle pizza with pecorino fresco and torpedo onion fans our fungi flames, while the gelato affogato decimates our dessert willpower. Every entree these hotties send our way makes us swoon. And that burger? More of a player than John Mayer- it scores with us every time.
