This was the first time at Portofino's and we were beyond impressed. Service was great and food was impeccable. I got the swordfish Siciliana and my daughter got the chicken parm. We will definitely go again
Excellent choice for a delicious meal and stroll down State St after.
Our server was nice but the real issue was with the front of house. We had a reservation, and we showed up on time. However, it took 20 minutes to actually get us seated. When finally someone came to attend to us they handed us a takeout bag.... as to suggest we were the delivery drivers ?! This could have been because we were all of Asian decent. Not quite sure, but we sure didn't feel welcome in the restaurant.In addition, the food was either over salted or bland, and the calamari was clearly frozen.
Never ever disappoints...each dish is better than the next. Incredible service is the norm. We've been coming here over 20 years and will continue for 20 more.
If you're looking for the best restaurant in town go to portofino's the service was excellent the waitress was a doll and the food was absolutely superb puts Tra scalene (sp) to shame
Food was good but overpriced. The sea bass was def overcharged, as there was only a slim slice of it. Without the mashed potatoes, we would be far from full. And the quality didn't meet the price we paid. Gnocchi was good though!
We ended up here by coincidence, the place we were headed first was closed. But what a happy coincidence, we had a great time.The bread before the appetizer felt fresh and warm, excellent with butter. The food was generous and we all liked it a lot. Even the vodka sauce, which I don't like, was good.service was the best part of it, quick, friendly and attentive.Will Go Back.
First time at Portofino's. I always select Chicken Parm on my first visit. I was not disappointed in the slighest. Great taste, and portions. Same thing goes for their wine pourings. I'll be back
Fantastic food-steak was excellent-great service staff-makes you feel like family
Little on the high side. Food was good but it was also al a cart.
