"Pastini Pastaria is a state-wide chain with locations in Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, and right here in Bend in the Old Mill District. They are best known for their delicious pasta offerings and hearty salads. We also love that they serve locally made table bread from Sparrow Bakery."

Owned and operated by Chef Juri Sbandati, who was born and bred in Florence and learned to cook from his mother and grandmother, the restaurant offers a menu that takes diners on a culinary journey through Italy with platters of antipasti and appetizers, handmade pasta and sauces, wood-fired pizza and fresh seafood and meat dishes.

"Salute is a brand new addition to the Bend restaurant scene — and we’re so glad they’re here. This contemporary Italian restaurant is serving modern Italian food, classic cocktails and exceptional wine in the downtown space that used to house Citizen. Here, you’ll find dishes like spaghetti bolognese, homemade pastas, lemon and amaretto grilled prawns, housemade tiramisu and classic cannoli, all served in an intimate and comfortable environment."

"Located in the heart of downtown Bend, Salute is the newest entrant to the local Italian dining scene. After opening in January 2020, Salute has quickly become a local favorite for their classic Italian dishes. They have received rave reviews for their pasta, chicken parmesan and tiramisu all served in a cozy space."

"Located on the north side of Bend in the Cascade Village shopping center, Olive Garden is an old favorite for many. Their well known dishes like breadsticks, salad and pasta make for a hearty, comforting meal. If you’re on the north side of town and craving Italian food this is a great spot to stop for a bite."

"We called all around Bend on a Friday night and no one was taking phone reservations only in person. We called and were able to get our name on the list..."

"Raganelli's is one of my go-to's in Bend for lunch or dinner. Their meatball sandwich is simply the best there is. His bread is handmade everyd..."

"Known for its buttery, scratch-made scones and an entire case of gluten-free options, Nancy P’s Café & Bakery has been a neighborhood mainstay on the west side for seventeen years. High ceilings and walls of windows provide the ideal lighting for sitting down with the Sunday paper. Among Nancy P’s many savory and sweet goodies sits the unassuming almond croissant, and it’s worth branching out of your scone-ordering habit to savor its flavor."

"As someone who has been visiting Bend since I was a young girl, my first visit without my parents to visit my aunt and uncle was almost twenty years ago, and I can vividly remember Nancy P’s Cafe and Bakery. The cozy house with an abundance of green foliage accessorizing the home. Needless to say, one of the first ventures I set out on when I moved here was to find this bakery."

"At a glance: Cute cafe with excellent baked goods and sandwiches. This cute little cafe serves up some excellent baked items as well as sandwiches, salads and breakfast offerings in a homey atmosphere. While it’s a nice place to eat and relax, this is one of our favorite places to grab a sandwich and treats for a day of hiking and adventuring."

"Goodlife Brewing Company opened its doors in 2011 and has become one of the best Bend, Oregon breweries since then. They use a 30 barrel, 4 vessel system that has been custom designed to make the best Bend beer possible. They also use the gorgeous Bend views, as well as the culture and lifestyle, to inspire them to meet their own expectations."

"This westside brewery is known for playing chill music and oozing laidback vibes. There is a small indoor space and a huge outdoor lawn that’s family and dog-friendly and is perfect for hanging out on a nice day. They have a smaller beer selection, but we find ourselves being drawn back here for the lowkey atmosphere."

"Perhaps the most hidden stop on theBend Ale Trail,Craft Kitchen & Brewery is worth the effort it takes to trek to the north side of Bend and venture to its cozy Layton Avenue location. The Napa Slaw at Craft is the perfect complement to their tasty tacos or barbecue specialties. There’s a food truck outside where most of the smoked and barbecued meats are prepared, but you can order both food and drinks at the counter inside."

"Craft Kitchen and Brewery is a fab spot to watch the sunset sparkling on the Deschutes River. UPDATED AUGUST 2018: Alas, Craft is no longer at their riverfront location, but their new digs on Bend’s NE side at Layton Avenue are pretty awesome, and the food is as fabulous as ever. Go visit them there!"

"When my sushi-loving sister-in-law visits from Seattle, Kanpai Sushi & Sake Bar is always on her shortlist of restaurants to hit. Small and cozy with a sunny outdoor patio, the sushi is always super-fresh, and the sake is plentiful. Sushi superfans will find plenty to choose from here, and they boast an impressive wine list to boot."

"Upon leaving Kanpai I feel as though I just got cheated out of $85. The food had no flavor and was priced 2-3 times has high as it should have been."

"Located in the Old Mill District, Mio Sushi is one of my favorite spots to drop by with my stepdaughter for a kid-friendly sushi lunch. She loves the mango iced tea, and I love the fact that the menu spells out very clearly what’s in each roll (and what non-sushi options are available if she isn’t in the mood—she swoons for the tempura!). Blogger Tawna at Mio Sushi with stepdaughter Violet."

"We have the best service ever from our amazing server Yesenia. Sushi was great too but her amazing personality made our experience perfect!"
