Amalfi's Italian Restaurant, also known as Amalfi's Restaurant and Mercato, is an Italian-American restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description

Amalfi's is a Black-owned restaurant serving Italian cuisine on Fremont Street in northeast Portland's Cully neighborhood. The menu includes pizza and lasagna. The restaurant hosts live music regularly. PDX Rosie, a mural depicting a Black woman posing like Rosie the Riveter, is painted on the restaurant's exterior.

History

Amalfi's was established in 1959. Kiauna Floyd has owned the restaurant since 2006. She commissioned PDX Rosie in 2020. The business used a large tent in the parking lot for outdoor seating during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021).
