" Bringing back so many great memories! I visited Portofino with my family, and we were all impressed. The portions were massive – we left with enough for lunch the next day. The lasagna was cheesy and comforting, paired perfectly with the garlic bread. The staff was friendly which made the experience even better. I can’t wait to take my friends here when they come to visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Portofino is a gem! The ambiance is delightful, and the service is top-notch. I had the chicken Alfredo, which was delightful, and the garlic bread was a delicious addition. Portion sizes were generous enough for leftovers. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying their pizza next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very eager to try Portofino Italian Restaurant based on all the buzz I had heard. However, my experience was lacking. The waitress seemed overwhelmed and it took ages to receive our food. I ordered the tortellini, which was just okay - not the authentic experience I was hoping for. The sauce was bland and the tortellini was a bit overcooked. The only highlight was the complimentary bread, which was fresh and warm. I'd be willing to give it one more shot, maybe on a quieter night, but it didn’t meet my expectations this time around. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Portofino, I was excited to see their wide selection of pasta. I ordered the penne with vodka sauce, and it was quite tasty, though I felt there could be a little more pizzazz in the seasoning department. On the other hand, the ambiance was lovely and the service friendly. I’d love to come back and explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an enjoyable lunch experience at Portofino with friends! The ambiance is lovely and cozy, making it a perfect spot to catch up over a meal. I ordered the penne with vodka sauce, and while the flavor was delightful, the vodka sauce could have been richer. Our server was polite and attentive, but unfortunately, we had to wait a bit for our check. Overall, it was a pleasant visit, and I left satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (734)

" While I had high hopes for Portofino given the rave reviews, my experience was rather average. The pasta lacked the depth of flavor I expected, and the marinara did taste a bit canned. On the plus side, the service was prompt, and the place was clean and welcoming. I may give it another visit but might not prioritize it over other restaurants. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was incredible! From the decor to the delicious smells wafting through the air, Portofino did not disappoint. The staff were super welcoming and quickly seated us. My entrée, the gnocchi, was fluffy and flavorful. I especially loved the homemade marinara sauce, which wasn’t too heavy—the chef must be a genius! I can’t wait to return and try their specials. " (*Curated Review*)
