" Had a great dinner here. The restaurant is decorated in a warm, inviting style and the service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the seafood risotto, and I was impressed with the creamy texture and fresh seafood pieces. While my dessert of tiramisu was also enjoyable, it was my main course that truly stole the show. Overall, a great place for Italian food with impressive flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoy dining at Portofino's—that said, I wish they wouldn't rush the dining experience. The dishes I've tried were mostly flavorful, but I sometimes feel like I'm being watched to order quickly or finish my meal. The ambiance is nice but not always relaxing due to the hustle and bustle. However, the authenticity of the cuisine keeps me coming back, as the flavors remind me of Italy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Portofino's has consistently impressed me over the years. They're able to maintain an authentic Italian flavor in every dish. Each time I visit, the staff treats me like family. From the appetizers to the dessert, everything is simply divine. Last night I had the seafood pasta, and it tasted fresh and well-seasoned. This restaurant is a staple in my dining options, and I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not too long ago, I decided to host a family gathering at Portofino's, and it was a hit! With a group of 15 people, they were well-equipped to serve us efficiently. Everything from the bruschetta to the pasta was fresh and bursting with flavor. It’s clear they take great care in their food preparation. My favorite was the cannoli, which was the perfect end to a delightful meal. The service was attentive without being intrusive. A truly memorable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Portofino's truly surprised me with its outstanding service and authentic cuisine. We chose to sit outside, and the atmosphere was so pleasant. We ordered multiple dishes, including pasta with homemade marinara, and each one was packed with flavor. The owner made rounds to check on guests, which adds a personal touch. I also loved the generous portions; I took some leftovers home. This is definitely a hidden gem in the area! Will be back for sure! ⭐️ " (*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*)
