" So happy we decided to try Portofino! The food felt incredibly authentic—dug into a magnificent lasagna that completely exceeded my expectations. Our waiter was more than happy to share the chef’s specials and offered insightful suggestions on wine pairings. The atmosphere buzzed with energy, but it was comfortable enough for a dinner with friends. While we did have to slightly wait for our food due to a crowded service, it was entirely forgivable as the meal was fantastic. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Portofino was unforgettable! For starters, I absolutely adored their homemade bread with olive oil. The risotto was creamy and rich, and I loved how every ingredient shined through. The service was attentive, and our waiter even remembered our names! It was as if the staff treated us like family, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I also appreciated how they used local ingredients when possible, adding a unique touch to traditional recipes. We've made this place our go-to spot for Italian food in Roswell! " (*Curated Review*)

" Portofino has gained a loyal fan in me! I have been there a few times, and I am always impressed with their consistency. The linguine was perfectly al dente, and the clams were fresh. The staff greeted us with warm bread and herb-infused oil upon arrival, which set the tone for a great meal. Their tiramisu is really something else—it’s light but indulgent. The ambiance is casual yet cozy, and I love the fact that they support local ingredients. If you're in Roswell, it's a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had always heard great things about Portofino and finally decided to check it out. As soon as we entered, the smell of fresh pasta filled the air, and I knew we were in for something great. I ordered the lasagna, and it was mind-blowing! Each layer was cooked to perfection. My friends loved their pizzas as well. The atmosphere was cozy, with warm lighting and friendly staff. The only hiccup was a slight issue with the timing of our meals, but it was worth the wait! The prices are fair considering the quality of the food! Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm glad we chose Portofino for dinner while visiting Roswell! The service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. My husband and I both enjoyed our pasta dishes, which were delightful! The prices were reasonable given the generous portions. The decor felt rustic and charming. However, the tables were quite close together, making it a bit noisy at times. That said, we plan to return for sure as the flavors were truly remarkable! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming little Italian restaurant! Portofino never fails to impress. Every dish I've had so far has been consistently tasty, and I love how knowledgeable the staff is about their menu. The seabass I had was cooked to perfection, flaky and flavorful. Their desserts are all made in-house, which made it hard to choose just one! While I think they could benefit from more seating to reduce wait times during peak hours, I adore this restaurant and would recommend it highly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to Portofino for a special occasion, and they did not disappoint. The ambiance was warm and family-friendly, making it comfortable for everyone. We ordered a variety of items to share, including manicotti and calzones. While I appreciated the flavors, I found the portion sizes a bit less generous than I expected, considering the prices. Our server was friendly, though a little overwhelmed due to the restaurant's popularity. Still, it was a pleasant evening overall, and we would consider returning in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
