Customer Reviews
We celebrated our anniversary at The Portofino Restaurant on Valentine’s Day, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The entire evening felt special, thanks to the warm, cozy atmosphere and the thoughtful attention to detail throughout the restaurant. Our waitress, Messeri, was truly exceptional. She was attentive, friendly, and her recommendations were spot on, every dish we tried was delicious. The food was full of flavor, beautifully prepared, and very reasonably priced. Making a reservation online was quick and easy, which made planning our special night stress-free. Overall, we had an incredible evening and couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate. We highly recommend The Portofino Restaurant.
They created the most perfect four course dinner for us on our third wedding anniversary! Excellent wine pairings with each dish, and everything they served felt authentic and intentional. Thank you Portofino Restaurant team for giving us such a wonderful experience! 🥰
We had a good experience here, all of the servers were fantastic. The veal was really good, and I liked how tender the lobster risotto was. All my life is never had spumoni in a chocolate shell and the last three places we've been all had them. Much better presentation than the slice I used to get as a kid. I also liked the Watergate cake was really good. My wife enjoyed the minestrone, but I didn't think the meatball soup was as good. The antipasto might be too fancy for me, lookout for the sardine if you aren't a fan. We'll be going back again soon.
This place was amazing; the service, the food, the atmosphere. It was all we could have wanted for a romantic evening. We will definitely be coming back.
We were recommended to go here and they were not wrong. Amazing Italian food. The Pollo Cha Cha was amazing. And the chocolate layer cake was to die for. The staff were attentive. We never had an empty glass. Great place for dinner after a long day of travel.
