Overview

About this campaign

Let your followers in on something Grassa already knows: this is the pasta spot that gets it right every time. Fresh, handcrafted noodles, bold flavors, and a laid-back, communal vibe.

Show the full experience—the open kitchen, pasta in motion, and a menu that’s hard to choose from. Whether it’s Pork Belly Mac & Cheese, Cacio e Pepe, or a seasonal special, let your honest reaction lead.

Highlight the daily “Lunch Rush” (12–3 PM): a $15 combo with pasta, Caesar salad, and a drink. And for dinner, tap into their rotating monthly Wednesday special.

No-frills, high-quality comfort food—and it delivers every time.

Brand context

Meet Grassa

Grassa was founded by chef Rick Gencarelli in Portland in 2013 with a single goal: to bring fresh, handcrafted pasta out of fine dining and into a space where anyone can enjoy it. Counter service, communal tables, records on the turntable, and bowls of pasta named after the chef's kids, it's the kind of place that feels like it was built for the neighborhood, because it was.
