Frommer's Review

Located on a rather nondescript stretch of Hawthorne Boulevard and much removed from the bustle of this boulevard's central commercial area, Castagna is a magnet for Portland foodies. Considering the less-than-stylish location and minimalist (though thoroughly designed) interior, it's obvious that the food's the thing here. Dishes tend toward simple preparations that allow the freshness of the ingredients to express themselves. Entrees such as the black cod with parsnip-sunchoke purée, porcini mushrooms, and pea shoots sum up the dominant culinary aesthetic at this restaurant. In addition to the main dining room, there is an inexpensive cafe serving much simpler fare.
