“A homey, romantic Italian restaurant A Cena (pronounced ah-chay-nah) has remained a staple of the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood for years. Often changing with seasonal ingredients, it offers more robust pasta dishes made in-house (think beef short rib and pork shoulder sugo over tagliatelle and raviolini with Maine lobster), as well as some meaty mains and fun sides, including fried Brussels sprouts with pancetta. Grab a Negroni at the bar; this is a fun spot to dine solo, if that’s your thing.” 🤎

Our heartfelt gratitude to all our wonderful customers for taking the time to share their dining experiences. Your thoughtful reviews and feedback inspire us to continuously strive for excellence in delivering exceptional service and Italian flavors that tantalize the palate. Each review is a cherished gift that fuels our passion for culinary artistry. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey, and we look forward to serving you with even more remarkable dining experiences in the future. Your support means the world to us!
