  ## Reception
  
  In her 2016 overview of Portland's romantic restaurants, Julie Lee of 1859 wrote, "Gilda's is one of those 'old school' restaurants that is steeped in nostalgia and charm. Chef Marco lovingly whips up recipes from his grandma Gilda, who took as much pleasure in feeding family, friends and neighbors as Marco does. Everything on the menu is authentic and delicious, and we highly recommend pairing the Le Gilda, house limoncello and St. Germaine topped with prosecco, with a Caesar salad and the tagliatelle with lobster for this special night." In 2017, readers of The Oregonian voted Gilda's their favorite Italian restaurant in Portland.
