Where the Couple Behind Pastificio d'Oro Dines in Portland
Briefly

Chase Dopson and Maggie Irwin's restaurant Pastificio d'Oro in Portland is set to close on July 20. Originally starting as a meal kit service in 2020, it evolved into a successful pop-up before becoming a full-service establishment in November 2022. The couple announced their closure due to restrictive leasing agreements. Known for their fresh, handcrafted pasta, the restaurant is noted for its passionate approach toward food preparation. Irwin, who also manages decor and social media, highlighted the unique aspect of selling out daily, emphasizing the love in their culinary creation.
"We're a really unique restaurant. People don't understand the reasons why we sell out. It's because we make everything every single day. All we want to do is put our love into food."
"What makes this so special is that it is finite, and this is what we offer you. This is what we can give you with our full hearts, and our full attention, and that's everything that we've got."
