Description and history

Grassa was established by chef Rick Gencarelli. Eater Portland's Brooke Jackson-Glidden has described Grassa as "a casual, kid-friendly pasta shop with turntables playing old records and bowls of noodles named for [Gencarelli's] kids".[3] The original Grassa (sometimes called "West End Grassa") opened in Southwest Portland's West End neighborhood in 2013.[4][5][6]

A second location, nicknamed "Grassa Vol. 2", opened in Northwest Portland's Northwest District in 2016.[7][8] Grassa's third location opened near the intersection of Hawthorne and 15th Avenue in Southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood around December 31, 2019.[3][9][10]

Another location opened along Vancouver Waterfront Park, in Vancouver, Washington.[11]

The business has confirmed plans to operate at the Portland International Airport.[12] Gencarelli has also planned to open Grassa restaurants in Lake Oswego, Oregon,[13] as well as Japan.[14][15]

Chris Onstad of the Portland Mercury wrote, "The offerings at Grassa are robust, and often intense. This isn't a feather on a fulcrum, it's a barbell, and it's remarkably balanced. For that, as well as for price and quality, it's highly recommended for a casual meal."[16] In her review for the Portland Tribune, Anne Marie DiStefano said, "Grassa is a good ambassador, a place where someone with average pasta expectations can be pleasantly surprised by the high quality of everyday, affordable food in Portland."[17]

In his 2016 review of the Washington Street location, Willamette Week's Matthew Korfhage wrote, "Like an old punk rocker who now works in marketing, craft-pasta spot Grassa has aged surprisingly gracefully. The restaurant's rough edges—unpredictable tunes at unpredictable volume, dining-room staff with occasional kitchen manners—have become idiosyncratic elements in a machine that's now quite well-oiled."[18] Eater Portland contributors have included Grassa in lists of "15 Primo Italian Restaurants in Portland" (2018)[19] and "16 Quintessential Restaurants and Bars in Slabtown" (2019).[20]
