Ember & Vine was born from a simple belief: the best food comes from real fire, real ingredients, and real hospitality. Our wood-burning oven, built by hand from reclaimed brick, reaches temperatures that transform simple dough into impossibly crisp, char-kissed pizza.
Chef Elena Moretti brings two decades of experience from kitchens across Tuscany and Portland's finest restaurants. Every dish is a conversation between tradition and the Pacific Northwest's abundant seasonal harvest.
Step inside and you'll find exposed timber beams, the glow of the open hearth, and a wine list curated to complement every course. This is a place for celebration, for quiet evenings, for moments that linger.
Watch Chef Elena and her team work the 950°F oven from your table. The aroma of burning oak and rosemary fills the air — it's theater you can taste.
60 seats across the main room, a cozy bar, and a private dining space for up to 12. Exposed brick, warm lighting, and the gentle crackle of the hearth create an atmosphere you'll remember.
Over 120 selections from small Italian producers and Pacific Northwest vineyards. Our sommelier will guide you to the perfect pour for your meal.
"We came for the pizza and stayed for the evening. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in Portland — warm, alive, and utterly genuine. We've already booked our anniversary dinner here."
