Gumba Pasta Parlor, or simply Gumba, is an Italian restaurant in Portland, Oregon, United States.[1] Established in 2016, the business initially operated as a food cart.[2]
Description
[edit ]The Italian restaurant Gumba (pronounced "GOOM-bah")[3] operates in northeast Portland's Vernon neighborhood. Originally a food cart, the business now operates as a brick and mortar restaurant with an "airy, floral-but-industrial" dining room, according to Eater Portland .[4]
The menu includes pastas with ingredients such as burrata, egg yolk, lemon, shallots, and sumac,[3] as well as calamari with marinated chickpeas and pappardelle with braised beef short rib.[5] The restaurant has also served burrata with black pepper, fry bread, and olive oil,[6] as well as cannolis and eggplant caramel olive oil cake.[4] [5] The squid ink spaghettini has Manila clams, mussels, scallops, and cheese frico.[7]
History
[edit ]Robin Brassaw and Jesse Martinez are the owners.[8] The duo started the business as a food cart in 2016[9] and relocated to a pod called The Whale in August 2017.[10] Gumba became a brick and mortar establishment in 2020,[11] [12] operating in the space that previously housed Aviary.[5]
