    Another fantastic dinner experience at my favorite steakhouse in Portland. The service always sets the tone and Bryan did not disappoint. His suggestions and recommendations were on point. I did the 10oz prime filet was exactly as ordered-medium rare. Can’t wait to visit again soon. Thanks team Ringside for a wonderful date night!

    We had the radicchio salad, beef and pork gnocchi and tagliata. The salad was so fresh and delicious, the Caesar style dressing was absolutely to die for and it wasn’t overdressed (which is a usual problem for me). The beef and pork gnocchi was soft and tender, and the ragu was so flavorful. The tagliata was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri was the perfect compliment. I’m really glad I didn’t let the string of poor reviews impact my decision to dine here. Perfect atmosphere, impeccable service and some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a while. Brava Nostrana!

    Each dish brought out just got better and better! The service was so friendly and the servers were patient and knowledgeable. Our last dish took a little longer to come out so they brought us a spice infused wine that aids in digestion that they comped. It was such a nice treat!
