Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox restaurant Grassa is a restaurant with multiple locations in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, in the United States. The original restaurant opened in Southwest Portland in 2013; subsequent locations have opened in Northwest Portland's Northwest District, in Southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood, and in Vancouver, Washington.

Description and history

Grassa was established by chef Rick Gencarelli. Eater PortlandШаблон:'s Brooke Jackson-Glidden has described Grassa as "a casual, kid-friendly pasta shop with turntables playing old records and bowls of noodles named for [Gencarelli's] kids".[1] The original Grassa (sometimes called "West End Grassa") opened in Southwest Portland's West End neighborhood in 2013.[2][3][4]

A second location, nicknamed "Grassa Vol. 2", opened in Northwest Portland's Northwest District in 2016.[5][6] Grassa's third location opened near the intersection of Hawthorne and 15th Avenue in Southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood around December 31, 2019.[1][7][8]

Another location opened along Vancouver Waterfront Park, in Vancouver, Washington.[9]

The business has confirmed plans to operate at the Portland International Airport.[10] Gencarelli has also planned to open Grassa restaurants in Lake Oswego, Oregon,[11] as well as Japan.[12][13]

Chris Onstad of the Portland Mercury wrote, "The offerings at Grassa are robust, and often intense. This isn't a feather on a fulcrum, it's a barbell, and it's remarkably balanced. For that, as well as for price and quality, it's highly recommended for a casual meal."[14] In her review for the Portland Tribune, Anne Marie DiStefano said, "Grassa is a good ambassador, a place where someone with average pasta expectations can be pleasantly surprised by the high quality of everyday, affordable food in Portland."[15]

In his 2016 review of the Washington Street location, Willamette WeekШаблон:'s Matthew Korfhage wrote, "Like an old punk rocker who now works in marketing, craft-pasta spot Grassa has aged surprisingly gracefully. The restaurant's rough edges—unpredictable tunes at unpredictable volume, dining-room staff with occasional kitchen manners—have become idiosyncratic elements in a machine that's now quite well-oiled."[16] Eater Portland contributors have included Grassa in lists of "15 Primo Italian Restaurants in Portland" (2018)[17] and "16 Quintessential Restaurants and Bars in Slabtown" (2019).[18]
