We booked reservations through Resy online and it went smoothly, I've been here before, but decided to take my friends out for a nice dinner. Service was a little slow at first and it took us a while to put our order in but once we did, everything came out smoothly and quick. The drinks were good and the pizza were delicious. I recommend this place if anyone wants Italian! They have outside and inside tables.

We stopped by this sister spot to its big brother Central Provisions and we're so glad we did. It is a short drive over to the back cove and with reasonable street parking. The menu was straight forward but the two ladies at the neighboring table recommended the Burrata Peach salad so we tried it - delicious and sizable to share. I had the spaghetti and meatballs- it's so rarely on adult menus that my inner child mandated it. Delicious as well. Good sized portion. My wife took the appetizers for dinner route and loved her fried eggplant and broccoli al forno. She also sampled my pasta and gave it 2 thumbs up. The Negroni Promavera first, and the Chianti with the meals were spot on . The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and punctual. We now have a new spot for Italian dining in Portland. We intend to revisit!

Went here last night for a dinner and we are glad we did. The place is nice and open with some solid outdoor seating options as well. Our waitress was the best and she was so friendly and helpful. To drink we got a peroni and a very yummy cocktail with ginger and tequila. We started the meal off with their roasted rhubarb crostini which was amazing! We felt like we were eating a rhubarb pie but in a good way. We fell in love with this small plate. We both got pizza as our main. One pepperoni and one New Yorker. Both were pretty good, great leoparding on the crust, great flavors, and even better dipping sauces you can choose from (we got the ranch and the spicy garlic butter). To finish we got their homemade orange creamsicle ice cream and the tiramisu. The ice cream was so creamy and the short bread that came with it was a nice touch. The tiramisu wasn't the best we've ever had but still decent. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here and will be coming back to try some of their homemade pasta we saw on the menu. Recommend it to anyone looking to have a nice evening with delicious food.

Loved this local neighborhood restaurant. The food was great (pizza and salad) and the cocktails were unique and delicious!

Very nice atmosphere that offers excellent Italian food at a decent price. It was recommended by my friend . I had the carbonara and a side of garlic bread. It was pretty amazing. The portions were just right. Their cocktails are top notch! If you like bourbon, try the Italian Gentleman. We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation so if you're looking for a table, it's best to book. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely come back.

Wonderful food! Great service! Nice ambiance! We finally ate here and we weren't disappointed. We started off with a bottle of Copertino Riserva 2013 paired with the Mozzarella Arancini and the Tipo Pepperoni pizza. So good! For dinner we ordered the Rye Cavatelli and a Risotto dish (not sure about the name, sorry!). Food was good. The Rye Cavatelli had a lemon taste to it, which is interesting! We tried the raw milk strawberry ice cream, so good! Thankful to try a local neighborhood restaurant!

I have been wanting to try this place forever and finally got a reservation. Make sure to get a reservation because the tables fill up fast. There is a bar that is first come first serve so you can probably get in there but that was full all night as well. They also have a great outdoor space in the summer. The service was also very friendly. We got a few different things and everything was amazing. It's not traditional Italian but Italian with a twist. I got the bolognese and it wasn't a red sauce which was interesting but it was so good. We also got the appetizer of buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto and that was fantastic. My friend got the risotto and also really great but not traditional. I would love to try their pizzas. Overall there was so many things on the menu I would want to try. Not traditional Italian but that's why I really enjoyed it!

The food at Tipo is outstanding. We had 4 appetizers, and 3 pastas and a pizza for dinner, plus 2 desserts. Every single dish was perfectly prepared. The app that stood out was the carrots al forno. Perfectly charred, dressed in so many flavors, something delicious to dip them in, and sprinkled with pistachios...they were amazing. The chicken liver crostini is a favorite of mine...I get it every time I go...it is amazing every time. The blood orange is so fragrant and cuts the richness of the chicken liver pate beautifully...as do the pickled ramps...perfect pairing of flavors. The gnocchi stood out among the pasta dishes...soft pillows dressed in a sweet and savory squash sauce with quince for a bit of sweet tartness...it was so good. Caccio e Pepe was perfect, as were the spaghetti and meatballs. We've had the pepperoni pizza many times...every time the spiceyness is a little surprising, but so good...and the way the pepperoni is slightly charred...amazing. This was my first time trying dessert at Tipo, and now I regret not having ordered it before. It was incredible! I may stop in just to have dessert at the bar....it was that good! We tried one of ice cream sundaes, and the apple crisp. The sundae was perfection....from the little dish it was served in, to the chopped bits of various accoutrements (Marconi almonds, and sweet little crunch candied pistachios), to the best cherry I've ever had, to the smooth creamy ice cream. The apple crisp was served in its own tiny wrought iron pot, hot, with cinnamon ice cream...also perfectly designed for exactly the right ratio of ice cream to crisp to apple. Service was perfect, ambiance is beautiful. It was already one of my favorite spots...this meal closes the deal...it's my fave.

What a great spot. With indoor and outdoor seating you can't go wrong. A neighborhood hotspot. Enjoy a fine cocktail. My favorite is Thyme after Thyme. Fabulous! The menu is fantastic and appeals to all. The staff is so much fun. Love them.
