Sargent<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">The Back Cove neighborhood has lovely rhythms. We head to Tipo on Ocean Avenue near Cheverus because \u201cWednesday is Prince Spaghetti Night,\u201d as the early settlers used to say. The crowd here is warm and familiar. I don\u2019t hear anyone making the mistake of calling Back Cove \u201cBack Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">There\u2019s a welcoming bar with a variety of Italian-leaning cocktails; a house-made shrub; and brew, including Birra Peroni. The wine list is an armchair tour of sunny Italy, from Villa Fura in Veneto (its capital city is Venice); to Arnoldo Rossi of Toscana (its capital city is Florence); to Bosco de Medici, Pompeii, Campania (its capital city is Naples); to Lamoresca of Sicilia (its capital city is Palermo).<\/p>\n<p><em>Read the full story in the digital magazine above.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/italian-escape.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/italian-escape.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/italian-escape-980x513.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/italian-escape-480x251.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lovely Rhythms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,11],"tags":[1504],"class_list":["post-26277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-reviews","tag-winterguide-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26277"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26315,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26277\/revisions\/26315"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portlandmonthly.com\/portmag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
