The new restaurant under construction in the former Zapoteca space by Paciarino co-owner Enrico Barbiero along with Steffano Zurleni and Nauro Stoppani will be named Pizzarino.
Pizzarino will be an Italian pizzeria and bar with pizzas made “daily with a special wholegrain flour, directly imported from Italy”. Pizzarino will also serve “Risotto, Arancini, Gnocchi, and Fresh Salads” along with “original Italian aperitifs, typical Italian cocktails, beers and wines, from Italy and from Maine”. The owners have provided a draft menu (page 123) as part of their liquor license application.
Pizzarino plans to offer guided wine tastings by their “experienced sommelier from Italy”. The owners hope to open Pizzarino later this summer.
Thank you for the Under Construction print friendly page !

Was lucky enough to experience the amazing authentic offerings at the soon to open Pizzarino while attended the Jaguar Wild Blueberry Blast event this year (2018). This place is going to be a staple in the downtown Portland area the minute they open the doors. GO CHECK IT OUT!
