This year’s Best Chef: Northwest winners Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton and Greg Denton head up the team at Ox, the Portland gem known (and loved) for its Argentine-by-way-of-Portland fare. The pair now also boasts an inspiring cookbook, Around the Fire, and a second Portland restaurant, Superbite, where unexpected, palate-waking flavors come in small but mighty portions (and bigger ones, too)—a mini bowl of buttery, housemade “spaghettiOs;” a miso-porcini marshmallow; a celery root tortilla.

Our dining experience at Castagna Restaurant offers 2 options to choose from. The first, a seasonal tasting menu and the second is an, expanded Chef's Tasting Menu. This is not to be confused with Café Castagna located next door.

Castagna serves as a clean, calm, modern canvas on which to showcase an artful presentation of food; a series of tastes that elevate the senses and reinterpret local cuisine. Executive Chef Justin Woodward imagines an edible landscape where diners become part of a cycle of abundance: not only tasting, but feeling, smelling, hearing, seeing, and, ultimately, understanding the food. Come enjoy this James Beard Finalist Chef and his team while they take you on an amazing journey tantalizing your taste buds.

For the Seasonal Tasting Menu, we offer an all Vegetarian option.

The expanded Chef's Tasting Menu is available until 9pm.
