DeNicola’s Authentic Italian is a family-owned restaurant that has been part of the Portland dining scene for the last 40 years. The family friendly atmosphere, attention to detail and consistency in quality and service keep our customers coming back year after year. It's like going back to a classic Italian restaurant you'd typically find on the East coast back in the day.
We focus on the old-school favorites like veal parmigiana, chicken cacciatora, veal piccata, lasagna, manicotti, cannelloni and everything in between. And just to mix things up a bit and make sure we're making EVERYONE happy, we even have Gluten Free Pasta for those that require or prefer it.
Dress is casual, however we can spiff up pretty easily.
Our Banquet Room offers per person pricing with the flexibility needed to fit any budget. Pricing varies with menu selection. Please call and discuss your menu option needs.
Room charge is complimentary with food and drink order.
