DV Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Portland's first vegan Italian restaurant opens this month. Portobello Vegan Trattoria will offer vegan versions of classics like “Spaghetti & Meatball,” “Luh-zag-nuh,” and Tiramisu. Chef Aaron Adams initially will open for dinner on Saturday, December 6, then Saturday December 13. Regular hours will follow: Wednesday through Saturday, 5:30 pm to 10 pm. The location is in the same space as Cellar Door Coffee, 2001 SE 11th Ave., Portland. On a sad note, Kinta will close at the end of the month.

beforewisdom Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 My area is known for its dining opportunities, yet at Italian restaurants I always end up having angel hair pasta with marinara sauce......and I am lucky to get that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Thanks for the news DV. I remember talking to Aaron over the summer and he told me about it. Sweet! I still haven't been to all the vegan restaurants in Portland Too bad about Kinta. I went there once and enjoyed it. I'm sure it will be popular real estate. It was in a great location.

Aaron Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Awesome. *hoping for candlelight* Losing kalga sucked for me : / Hopefully this place is sharp. -a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 What? Did Kalga close? Or because it's not totally vegan, it's out for you? I'm not up to date, nor home. What's up with Kalga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdarthveganx Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Kalga is gone, a thai place has taken over its old location. I have yet to go by and see if they have vegan thai there. On that note, sweet basil on broadway can make most dishes vegan and is delicious to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Has anyone been there yet? I just got back into town but may give it a try soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessifly Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think they pushed back their opening to Jan 7th due to the snowy weather last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggieprincess Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 man, I'm so jealous you guys get to have access to things like this!!! Then again... I really don't need it. Could do some serious damage at a Vegan Italian Restaurant. Especially if they serve red wine with it. Red wine and italian food is like Peanut Butter and Jam... they gotta go together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 They're finally open! I got the following email yesterday and noticed that they have a sign up on the building. Keep in mind that it's a coffee shop by day so I'm not sure how comfortable or intimate the seating will be. The menu sent to me looked fabulous. Hello All... Portobello is Alive! Finally, after goofin' off for a few months, we got out littletrattoria open! Come on down and eat some of our made-from-scratchvittles. Here's the details: Location: 2001 SE 11th Ave, on the corner of SE 11th and SE Harrison Phone: 503-754-5993...reservations only for parties larger than four. Hours: Wednesday through Saturday, 5:30 to 11:30pm I attached a menu from Saturday night. The menu changes from day today, but everything is vegan, and there are many wheat-free, soy-free,and gluten-free dishes available. Also, come try our great desserts...made from scratch appletart...vegan tira misu...panna cotta...etc... Thanks all...please pass the e-mail to a friend!
