This trattoria in the Sellwood neighborhood focuses its attention on pastas and wines, and to that end, the menu lists 15 pastas and the wine list includes more than 100 wines, almost all of which are from Italy. The atmosphere of this tiny place is theatrical, with indirect lighting, dark walls, and the likes of Mario Lanza playing in the background. While pastas are the main attraction, this doesn't mean the flavors are not robust. Don't be surprised if after taking your first bite, you suddenly hear a Verdi aria. Assaggio means a sampling or a taste, and that is exactly what you get if you order salad, bruschetta, or pasta Assaggio style--a sampling of several dishes, all served family style. This is especially fun if you're here with a group.
