" An excellent Italian restaurant! My husband and I visited The Arboretum Portofino's and were very pleased with our experience. The ambiance was inviting and cozy, making it perfect for couples. I had the lasagna and it was incredible; so cheesy and hearty. The only downside was that it could use a bit more sauce. Otherwise, the service was great, and I can really appreciate the effort that goes into making authentic Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Portofino’s for the first time and was really thrilled with the experience. The garlic knots were heavenly, and the pepperoni pizza had just the right amount of spice. The restaurant felt a bit crowded, and our server could have been more attentive. However, the excellent quality of the food made up for the little hiccups. I plan on returning next week to dig into their pasta menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Portofino’s on a whim for lunch, and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the shrimp scampi, which was delicious and absolutely satisfying. The flavors were balanced perfectly. The ambiance was relaxed and the seating was comfortable. On the downside, the service was painfully slow to bring my check. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend it for lunch if you have time to spare. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Portofino's last weekend and had a delightful experience! The staff was welcoming, and they quickly seated us even though it was busy. Our meal started with garlic bread, which was delightful and served warm. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, which was creamy and comforting. However, the portion was larger than I expected, and I found it difficult to finish. The atmosphere was lively, making for a great family night out. Overall, I would recommend this place for families looking for hearty Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Portofino's has always come through with great food. Their stuffed shells are a must-try; they're filled with ricotta and served with a robust marinara that’s perfectly seasoned. Although we waited a while for our food, our server was polite and frequently checked on our needs. The laid-back atmosphere with Italian music playing was delightful. I’ll keep coming back for the comfort food experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful experience at Portofino's! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a family gathering. We tried their famous Chicken Parmesan, and it was absolutely delicious—tender chicken smothered in just the right amount of marinara sauce. The portion sizes were huge, allowing us to take some home for leftovers. Our server was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Portofino's truly offers a taste of Italy! Their pasta dishes are flavorful and prepared authentically. I must mention how refreshing it is to have such voluminous portion sizes. Service was slightly slow during my last visit, but the friendly staff really made up for it with their attitude. All in all, a wonderful dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
