Best Italian in TOWN!

by DonnaM1

Portofino's offers the best true authentic Italian food in town. No other restaurant comes close, not even the higher tier ones. Highly recommended, reminds me of back home.

Authentic, inspired Italian

by Kattywumppus

My party of 4 had dinner at Portofino's a week ago and JOHN was our waiter. I highly recommend the Tortellini Alfredo w/ham, the sauce was light-never rubber-y or too rich with portions large enough to take home. Also ordered was the veal--great reviews there and the eggplant parmesean which I tasted was cooked perfectly & better tasting than most.

My dearest mother however, was an admitted drag: over bearing, overly instructive not to mention impatient--even thinking John had 'forgotten' our Tiara Misu. HOMEMADE and DElicious (turns out he was Putting It Together In The Back) but John knew it was just her way and handled her very well. If your reading this John, eee gads! I'm sorry!! But I made certain she gave him a Great Tip. Aesop's moral: Even the worst get the best service here.

• Pros: My waiter John handled MOTHER Persnickety very well
• Cons: I experienced no negatives

best pizza in town and best italian food

by smiley22

I have been at Portofino`s several times i love their pizzas and the specials at Park Rd are to die for . The Tiramisu is also my favorite its made with real lady fingers not the imitation this guys are the real thing . I reccomend everyone should give them a try at least once.

• Pros: the friendly staff
