" I was excited to try Portofino's, but my expectations were not quite met. I had the steak which, though flavorful, was not cooked to the temperature I requested. The staff were apologetic and offered to replace it, which I appreciated. The pasta dishes around me looked delicious, so I'd likely return to try those next time, but this visit was a bit disappointing overall compared to what I had hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my daughter's engagement party at Portofino's, and I can say it was a magical night! The food was outstanding, especially the lobster ravioli which melted in my mouth. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, providing exceptional service throughout the evening. The ambiance was festive yet intimate, making it the perfect setting for our celebration. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Portofino's for lunch with my coworkers and was very pleased with the service. The sesame chicken salad could have used a bit more dressing, but it was fresh and tasty. I tried their pizza, and it was delightful with a crispy, thin crust and plenty of toppings. The friendly staff made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a solid choice for a lunch break, and I would consider going back with family for dinner too. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about Portofino's, I was excited to try it out. The decor is charming and gives off a cozy vibe. However, I found the food to be a hit or miss. My chicken parmesan was delightful, but I was disappointed by the dry garlic bread and lackluster salad. The service was prompt and friendly, but I expected a bit more from the mains based on the hype. I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I visited Portofino's for a date night, and I have to say it was a wonderful experience! The ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening, with soft lighting and classic Italian music. We shared a margherita pizza, and it was one of the best I have ever had—fresh basil, ripe tomatoes, and the perfect thin crust. Service was prompt, and our server suggested the pistachio tiramisu for dessert, which was heavenly! Can't wait to go back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a birthday dinner at Portofino's and it was fantastic! The service was very friendly, and the food was well-prepared. I had the veal Portofino, and it was tender and flavorful. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of food. I particularly enjoyed the bread with olive oil served at the start. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming—just what we were looking for! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Portofino's. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a family dinner. The chicken parm was cooked to perfection and the marinara sauce was rich and flavorful. You can feel the love in the cooking, truly authentic Italian! I will definitely be coming back! Don't skip the tiramisu for dessert. " (*Curated Review*)
