The first meal ever served at Nostrana was porchetta, in our parking lot, and this fall marks 20 years since we opened our doors. Join us as we go back to where it all began—with porchetta served under the trees.
Join us for Porchettiamo, an open-air celebration inspired by Italy’s beloved roast and Portland’s vibrant food scene. We’ve invited some of our favorite chefs to each serve their own spin on porchetta—traditional or delightfully unexpected—all paired with Oregon wines and garden cocktails.
Thinks of this as our mini food festival, a roam-around style event with open seating, open skies, and casual connections.
