Bastas @ Portland

Enough! That's what Bastas means in Italian, and boy did I have enough food. It was one of the better Italian restaurants that I've had in a long time. Everything was really delicious and had bold flavors. I recommend coming here to eat if you want Italian and you're in Portland. It's located in their version of "Nob Hill."
