Amalfi's Italian Restaurant, also known as Amalfi's Restaurant and Mercato,[1] is an Italian-American restaurant in Portland, Oregon.
Description[edit]
Amalfi's is a Black-owned restaurant serving Italian cuisine on Fremont Street in northeast Portland's Cully neighborhood.[2][3] The menu includes pizza and lasagna.[4] The restaurant hosts live music regularly.[5] PDX Rosie, a mural depicting a Black woman posing like Rosie the Riveter, is painted on the restaurant's exterior.[1][2]
History[edit]
Amalfi's was established in 1959.[4] Kiauna Floyd has owned the restaurant since 2006. She commissioned PDX Rosie in 2020.[2] The business used a large tent in the parking lot for outdoor seating during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021).[6][7][8]

In Thrillist's 2018 overview of "How to Find the Weird Old Portland Behind the New Hipster Portlandia", Kashann Kilson said Amalfi's "has been Portland's best Italian restaurant for more than half a century".[9]
