Mucca Osteria is an Italian restaurant in Portland, Oregon.
Description
[edit]Mucca Osteria is an Italian restaurant in downtown Portland. Fodor's describes the restaurant as a "narrow, bi-level space with exposed-brick walls, rustic chandeliers, and tall windows overlooking a busy downtown space".[1] The Oregonian's Michael Russell said "the decor leans suburban, its brick walls hung with ornate mirrors and a sepia-tinted map of Italy; the mezzanine overlooking chandeliers like large metal atoms".[2]
The menu includes Dungeness crab salad with endive, arugula, apple, marcona almonds, and champagne vinaigrette, handmade pastas such as maltagliati with rabbit, olives, and pine nuts, and slow-roasted pork shoulder with wild mushrooms and polenta.[1] Rabbit gnocchi, risotto,[2] and prosciutto-wrapped burrata[3] are also on the menu. Antipasto include lamb carpaccio, seared scallops with Parmesan fondue.[4]
History
[edit]Chef and owner Simone Savaiano opened the restaurant in 2011.[4][5] He opened Mucca Pizzeria next to the restaurant in 2023.[6][7]
Reception
[edit]In 2014, AP Kryza of Willamette Week said Savaiano "is turning out some of the city's best Northern Italian eats" and wrote, "Mucca excels not because of innovation, but because of a loving commitment to comfort food taken to the next level, making it one of the most overlooked restaurants in a city obsessed with hyping the next big thing."[4] Janelle Lassalle included the restaurant in Thrillist's 2016 list of Portland's best Italian restaurants.[8] Michael Russell ranked Mucca Osteria number six in The Oregonian's 2016 list of Portland's ten best Italian restaurants,[9] and included the business in a 2017 overview of the city's best pasta.[10]
In 2018, Wine Spectator included Mucca Osteria in a 2018 list of 12 "prime" wine restaurants in the Pacific Northwest.[11] The restaurant also received the magazine's Best of Award of Excellence in 2019.[12] Brooke Jackson-Glidden included Mucca Osteria in Eater Portland's 2021 list of 15 "date-worthy" restaurants in Portland,[3] and a 2022 overview of "The 38 Essential Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland".[13] The business was also included in Eater Portland's 2022 overview of "Where to Eat and Drink in Downtown Portland".[14]
