Grassa is a popular Portland Italian spot known for its fresh, handcrafted pasta made daily and served in a casual, counter-service environment. Visitors order at the counter before settling in at communal tables or grabbing a seat along the open chef's counter. The menu pairs comforting pasta classics like pork belly mac and cheese or truffle pappardelle with beer, wine, and cocktails.
