Though this is apparently quite a nice jazz wine bar, we came for the food and drink. We arrived on a Wednesday at opening time (5 pm) without reservations, and were seated immediately. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and were professional while still being friendly. The two appetizers we ordered for the table (Parmesan Garlic Chips and Fried Burrata) were delicious - I don't know what the dipping sauce is that came with the chips, but it's wonderful! Lots of delicious garlic in both as well. We all enjoyed our main meals - three different pizzas and Lemon Dijon Gnocchi (I posted a few photos), and left with four boxes of leftovers for additional lunch or dinner meals tomorrow. We had a table directly in front of where the band would be playing later in the evening, and got to watch one early arriving band member setting up some equipment. I suspect this table is always reserved during the musical hours, but it's a nice spot to eat and watch life happen both inside and outside the restaurant at other times as well.

WONDERFUL! Best Italian in the greater Portland area. Service was quick, every bite was delicious, and live jazz music was a plus! Highly recommend the fried burrata and asking for fresh bread - it comes out hot with butter and olive oil with balsamic, yum! We sat at a table with a window to the bar which was unique. Lots of fun decor to look at in the restaurant!

Great atmosphere at Arrivederci Wine & Jazz! This wine bar with live music offers a wonderful experience. I stopped by with a friend for drinks after dinner, and I enjoyed a delicious raspberry limoncello martini—perfectly balanced and refreshing. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Live jazz up close! A great place to catch excellent local musicians. Tasty appetizers and salads. We shared a pizza, but the pasta dishes all looked good, too.

This is a hidden gem and never disappoints; great for a date night! The decor is fun, inviting, and warm! The only drawback is, it can be hard to find a parking spot, but once you do "land" one, you are golden and believe me the food will be worth the effort. They also have live jazz music on most nights, so it can get a little loud in some areas for dining. They have a nice bar area, but don't go looking for any happy hour specials. Great appetizers and portion sizes are more than adequate. If you like great Italian food, give it a try! They are only open for dinner and I would highly suggest reservations for weekend dining. Enjoy!

I walked into the sweet sound of live jazz! This place has a lively and warm vibe with jazz themed art on the walls. Busy Saturday, so we made reservations and got seated as soon as we walked in. I tried the antipasti plate and the rustic bruschetta. Both are what you'd expect them to be. They were good! Our service experience was on the slower side. She was a sweet server but we saw her twice, when she took our order, and when she dropped our food off. It was busy, so I understand. I did ask the bartender to help us cash out and he was more than willing. Overall I did have a great experience and I would go back.

Arrivederci was a load of fun. We were drawn there by a performance by a musician that we had enjoyed at a different wine bar. Arrivederci has the added bonus of classic Italian food to go with the wine and the entertainment. Our group (2 couples - it was a great spot to visit with friends) mostly went with tried and true options, ravioli, spaghetti, and the fourth opted for the Molte Bene, chicken sauteed with a huge pile of veggies. The antipasti platter, tiramisu and cheesecake, and a couple of bottles of wine made for a great evening. Our server was attentive without hovering - a perfect combination in my opinion. It's a big space, but split into separate rooms, and lit dimly enough to make the whole thing seem cozy. They had posters scattered around showing upcoming music, many of them with artists that I've enjoyed in other settings. I'm looking forward to returning to this particular performance venue.
