Oregon City Guide

Italian Restaurants in Oregon City, OR

Oregon City's Italian dining scene covers two distinct styles. Nebbiolo Wine Bar brings the Italian wine-bar tradition, small plates, natural wines, an intimate room, to downtown Oregon City. Sorrento Italian Bistro is the neighborhood trattoria: house-made pasta, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere for families and groups.

Both are genuinely good, and they serve different occasions well. Nebbiolo for a date night or a long evening with wine; Sorrento for a satisfying family dinner or a casual weeknight meal.
