Pietro's is located on the block next to the train station, so it's a convenient place to stop for a quick dinner. We ordered a couple small pizzas so we could take the leftovers back to the hotel.
The food was good, served piping hot out of the oven. The restaurant was clean, though empty as we got there early.
Worth a stop if you want a quick bite.

I saw this restaurant was featured on the Hood River Tourism site. The menu was on the website and as I read the different inventive pizzas I decided I'll make this my highlight in Hood River. Wow, the food was amazing. It was cherry season and so the special was a Roasted Cherry, Chorizo, and Goat Cheese pizza. The bold flavors balanced perfectly together...the sweet, spicy, cheesy combination made this the best pizza I ever enjoyed.
The cafe is very eclectic, featuring local art, food, and a great play area for children. The walls have been painted as chalkboards all over so there is lots of guest art everywhere.
Food. Fire. Friends.

Heading out onto the trails of the Columbia gorge, you need to be self-contained. There are no mountain huts where you can order up a beer, wine or mineral water. This is not the Alps, but the Wild west. You trade spontaneity and impulsion for lanning and a unique sense of natural wonder. More cheese with that wine?

Inside the restaurant is a huge fireplace and large windows for views of the falls. The fireplace is especially wonderful in the winter, and the snow scenes through the massive windows are marvelous.
Favorite Dish: Fresh trout.

The food is a mixture of Mediterranean, North African and Middle Eastern. It is located in a former home and has a big patio out front with tables. A great feature is that there is a separate restaurant with its own menu where kids can be dumped while the adults enjoy a quiet dinner below.
Favorite Dish: Excellent Greek Salad, almost as good as the real thing. We had Piri Piri Chicken with Saffron Rice and a marvellous Lamb Stew with Couscous. This was all from the set price dinner menu, which includes dessert, in our case a coffee cake served with both cream and ice cream. Decadent! The only niggle was that they ran out of decaf coffee. Surely that's a felony in Oregon?
The a la carte menu looked good and they serve a wide range of tapas.
