" I visited Portofino's on a Friday evening with friends. The garlic bread was heavenly and the pizzas were noticeably fresh. Each ingredient tasted like it was sourced with care. I felt truly welcomed by the friendly staff who made sure our glasses were never empty. I'll definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a cozy Italian restaurant and Portofino's did not disappoint! The dishes are crafted with love, especially the fettuccine Alfredo. The service was attentive, although at one point, I felt a little overlooked during the busy hour. Overall, a great spot for a casual dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" The real deal! Authentic Italian food that you can taste in every bite. The fettuccine was made fresh, and the flavor was rich and creamy. I would recommend coming here on date nights or just for friends gathering. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today, I took my family to Portofino's, and they were thrilled by the food. The kids loved the pizza, and I was impressed with the Tuscan chicken. We felt the service could improve, however. Our server was nice, but seemed overwhelmed with other tables. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant's service was impressive. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, checking on us regularly while still managing other tables. The eggplant Parmesan was a delight, but I wanted a heavier hand with the spices in the gnocchi. Still, I will definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant decorated beautifully, with a charming Italian vibe. The food was consistently good, but I felt some flavors might’ve been toned down for a more general audience. I enjoy more spices in my pasta, but I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a birthday dinner here and encountered some hiccups, like slow service and a dish that was slightly overcooked. The owner did apologize and gave us dessert on the house as compensation. Appreciate that they value customer satisfaction. " (*Curated Review*)
