Nostrana Portland Reviews from The Last Year
First off they now add a mandatory 22% service fee to the
First off they now add a mandatory 22% service fee to the check that does not include gratuity. I brought a couple friends here before we went to an event. Ambience is nice and their pasta is hand made. Fettuccine was good. The crust on the Lemon tart was so hard I could not cut through it. The waitress brought me a steak knife and I still couldn't get through it. :-( The waitress did not offer a replacement or refund which was shocking for a $15 dessert. There are many great authentic Italian restaurants in Portland...Just sayin! This made me sad.
Food was incredibly expensive and had almost no wow factor.
Ambience and environment was very pretty and cozy. The food was just not worth the price tag at all. I got the beef tagliata and for a $40 steak, you only get 6 pieces of thin steak slices paired with arugula that doesn't combine at all with the steak. The spicy rotisserie chicken is very basic and doesn't wow you at all but comes at a hefty $33. Worst part is that the restaurant automatically charges a 22% service charge for service that was fairly mundane and mediocre. Aside from the environment, this restaurant really doesn't have any wow to the food or service.

My sister was in town and I made a last minute decision to take her out for pasta. We tried the gnocchi and it was so savory and tender. Our server was warm and friendly also! Will definitely return!
Great food and wonderful atmosphere.
Their rotisserie chicken is delicious and the strawberry rhubarb crisp is a great ending. Their menu has expanded over the years with more options and bigger wine list.

Nostrana dipped in quality for a little while but they're back on track! Dinner was great and was exactly like I remember the first time I came here many years ago.
Service was great.
Food and drinks were flavorful and did not disappoint. We came on a busy weekend and didn't have any tables but they had room at the bar which was a quaint space. Would definitely go back
"Good Italian! Just Be Ready For The Service Fee"
I reached out to Nostrana with an unusual request: ordering food to go. They really don't do takeout, but the host I spoke with over the phone obliged me(ordered 30 mins before closing). The service was warm and attentive, and my order was ready within 15 minutes. However they didn't pack any napkins in my to-go bag. Also, they don't have to go cutlery at all. So, me being from out of town diring this visit, that caused me to have to make another stop. However, the food made up for it. We did a couple of gnocchi entrees, the pork ragu gnocchi & the pancetta gnocchi. Both were excellent, and fulfilled us after a long day of flying across the country. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and was very busy for a Thursday night. I was okay with the 22% service charge added on "to pay our staff a living wage." Just know the dishes are pricy for the portion size, so just be prepared to spend a nice amount of money here, especially on a large party.

I came here for an early dinner recently and had a great time. As it was a nice day out, my boyfriend and I sat outside on their patio. However, I also noted that the inside of the restaurant is so beautiful that it makes me want to dine here again (but inside next time haha). My boyfriend and I ordered their foccacia & ciabatta, their cacciucco, the polpettine pizza, and meatball capellini. Everything was delicious. The foccacia and ciabatta came out with the most fragrant and delicious olive oil; we had to ask the waitress where it was from (and we'll definitely be buying some of our own). The cacciucco was delicious and light, with lots of seafood. The polpettine was amazing with a light and thin dough. And the capellini was delicious, with generous portions of meatballs. I would definitely come back and would love to try their wine bar next time.

We made a reservation but still were asked to wait for our table despite arriving 5 min earlier than our reservation time. The food did not justify the price, it isn't the most expensive food ever but my partner's entree left him still hungry and the pizza I got had a salad dumped on it which made cutting it a little tedious. We also had gone for our anniversary and listed so on our reservation (they asked) and it wasn't recognized by a complimentary dessert or anything similar. Kind of a bummer but not that big of a deal. The drinks were yummy and ambience was nice but that's about it.
The service was really amazing, but the food was very
The service was really amazing, but the food was very limited and just ok- especially for the extremely high prices. We showed up early and we weren't allowed to sit at either of the bars to have a drink in because they use those seats for dinner reservations only never heard of a nice restaurant where you couldn't have a drink before dinner at the bar Lauren, our server deserves 10 stars though- he service and attitude completely saved us from not getting up and leaving.
Great service from Trevyn! She was really sweet and helpful
Great service from Trevyn! She was really sweet and helpful with drink recommendations. Pizza was amazing!!
Mandatory service charges and paying for bread left a bad taste in my mouth.
Will not return since mandatory service charge and charging for BREAD! Was a loyal customer since they opened but no longer. Too expensive, food getting lackluster, resting on their laurels, etc, etc. Don't get me wrong, some things were still great but I won't be going back to see how things evolve. Goodbye!
Authentic!
An authentic Italian restaurant with a menu which changes nightly. The wine list was extensive and the variety of craft cocktails was entertaining. Very tasty dinner with great flavor and very attentive service.
The service charges are over-the-top ridiculous.
We have loved Nostrana over many years, but Covid and reduced hours, etc. kept us away until my birthday. We split a salad, split a tortellini and split a dessert, with two glasses of wine each. ( we are seniors—can’t eat large portions anymore). We also purchased a loaf of bread to go. The bill including the 22% was something like $158!! (For essentially one total meal and 4 small glasses of wine!). On top of that was an extra slip for a service charge for the waitress. She said we didn’t have to do that, but we felt intimidated , so we tacked on another $10. The total was about$195 something. We love Nostrana, but after 25 years, we will not be returning. It’s just too much! We felt we were paying your servers more than you were! We spent a little over 90 minutes there, and the server was probably serving several tables. It was ridiculous! Please rethink this policy. We felt taken advantage of. Just think— if each of us had had a modest three course dinner, the bill would have come to close to $400!!
Sadly, it was not a good experience for us.
I think the 2 most shocking things were the two small triangle pieces of bread in the burrata dish for $18 (it was ridiculous, honestly. 3 people and only two small pieces of bread that were even too small for the little ball of cheese and large dollop of relish) And then the required 22% service fee so they can pay their employees a “robust” wage. No, we are being forced to pay them a robust wage and you are gouging us accordingly. Aside from that, there was WAY too much arugula on the thin and soggy bottomed pizza (the Margherita pizza was thin and a little less soggy, but still soggy, as well) and the skin on the roasted chicken wasn’t brown or crispy enough. The server was very nice though, but when I asked if the tip was already added to the bill, she said “well, that’s the service fee for the restaurant, but yes, I guess”. So was the expectation to add more as a tip there? It sure felt that way. A lovely atmosphere, to be sure, but we won’t be back and we would not recommend it.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
