Hey Luigi

Located in Portland, Hey Luigi is a lively cocktail and pasta bar from Gabriel Pascuzzi that blends Italy’s aperitivo culture with the Pacific Northwest’s culinary spirit. Inspired by Pascuzzi’s Italian-American heritage, the intimate, 1,600-square-foot space offers a warm, social atmosphere with vintage accents, a plant-filled interior, and an open, convivial layout. The menu highlights inventive takes on Italian classics, from house-made pastas like mezze maniche alla pesto and bucatini all’amatriciana to shareable snacks such as Nonna’s Bread and burrata with confit tomatoes. A playful cocktail program features spritz-forward and spirit-driven drinks alongside a curated wine list of Italian and Pacific Northwest producers. Designed as a gathering place for pre-dinner aperitivo or a full evening out, Hey Luigi delivers an experience rooted in tradition, community, and creativity.
