This is a traditional favorite, if we can arrange it, before going to a play at Portland Center Stage. Their wines by the glass are as satisfying as more expensive bottles. Give us the Nostrana salad & a Margherita pizza to share, with added prosciutto and arugula (pay the extra!), and we're off to a good start for the evening. Servers are knowledgeable, efficient, and still manage to treat guests like family.
