Aquariva Restaurant

Located on the Willamette River bordering the heart of downtown Portland and positioned just south of the South Waterfront District, our riverside restaurant makes the perfect setting for a romantic evening of sumptuous Italian-inspired dining, a glass of fine wine, an intimate private party, or an incredible riverside wedding.

If you miss the lengthy afternoon happy hour (2:30pm to 6pm daily), stave off your hunger with a snack and then drop by the restaurant for late night happy hour deals from 9:30pm to 10:30pm every night.

The restaurant's secluded waterfront location is part of its charm but it also means the restaurant is off-the-radar of many diners and hard to find as well. Consider taking the streetcar, which stops just a few blocks from the restaurant entrance and makes it easy to locate. Plus, taking public transportation leaves you free to indulge in plentiful wine from the Italian-leaning menu.
