Open less than a month, Portobello Vegan Trattoria is becoming quite the immediate hit among Portland vegans. I joined friends for my first meal there last night, and will be dining with another group for a family style dinner this weekend.
After last night's luscious dinner, I'm ridiculously stoked to return so quickly, try more and support this new vegan establishment in such annoying economic times.
Let me say that I grew up eating Italian food more than any other, and fresh vegan pasta at a restaurant in town, let alone in walking distance to my apartment, is in itself a thrill.
Here's a peek at what my table ordered:
Small plate of Portabello Ravioli with Walnut Arulgula Pesto.
Side of Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Small plate of Gluten-free Spaghetti squash with one giant meatball
Ham and Scheese wrapped Seitan
Side of Roasted Pumpkin with Rosemary
Side of Garlic Broccolini
Lasagna
Believe it, we didn't order any desserts! Don't panic - Tiramisu will be enjoyed this weekend.
Look for an official review in the next month on StumptownVegans.com when they've been open a bit longer.
For now, enjoy the Italian food porn and check them out if you're in the Portland area.
They're open Wednesday-Saturday 5:30-10:30pm and are located at 2001 SE 11th Ave, in the same location as the excellent Cellar Door Coffee Roasters, who are open during the day.

You're actually going to make us look up the address? :-P
Not anymore! ha!
My eyes are poppin' out of my head! I wish I had restaurants like that in my town!!
I'm really looking forward to the tiramisu porn - I mean review! All looks good from over here!
Wow. And you can walk to this place!?!? I'd definitely *need* the walk home.
Holy wow... That looks awesome!
I'm growing a lot of the vegetables you pictured. Since I can't enjoy it in Portland I can use the cooking ideas for my harvest.
Oh my gosh! Those dishes are so colorful, I esp. love the pink!
Must. dine. there. now.
yum! how exciting to have a new vegan place... especially close to home.
That ravioli looks awesome, and the pumpkin sounds flavorful!
Lucky you! I wish I had a place like that in my city. I'd for sure be a frequent customer.

It all looks so good! The brussel sprouts look especially tantalizing.
I want to go to there.

I'm so jealous! I wish I could transport myself to portland whenever I wanted to for all the vegan deliciousness!
thanks :) that's what i thought!
ham log. what a hilarious combination of words.
please, please, please teleport me to portland!
FYI, the Tiramisu isn't quite something I could see my little old Italian aunts eating, but as a vegan, parfait version of the traditional dessert I'm a huge fan. It was mildly sweet and ridiculously creamy. If there'd been some espresso-goodness I'd have been in heaven...
Ooh, I want to go there badly!
Yum yum YUM!!! So going go to when I visit in April! :D
AMG that looks so good! Even more hungry now O.o
there's no coffee/espresso in teh tiramisu??
Karla - none was detected by myself or a couple others who mentioned it to me...maybe it varies - it was still really great.
hi, new poster...doesn't tiramisu have "lady finger?" and what are "lady fingers"? are they vegan ?
Awesome, you're using Urbanspoon! It's the Portland foodfinder site that I turn to most when looking for somewhere to eat, and it'll become all the better a resource as veg*n blog reviews like Get Sconed (and maybe Stumptown Vegans?) start linking into the mix.
It goes without saying that I heart Portobello lots and lots. Once they're able to serve wine it'll be perfect.
