Porto-Fino Restaurant

This place was absolutely delicious! The servers are wonderful and the food is even better! It is such a good place to eat at and I totally recommend it if you are a big Italian food person! Even if you aren’t you should definitely give it a shot! Our waitress Cindy was a delight and recommended DELICIOUS food!

Our waitress Cindy was a delight, she had great recommendations on the wine, dinner, and deserts. I think we met the owner too, who we could just sit and talk with for hours if we could. This is a must eat restaurant while staying in Daytona, delicious authentic Italian that’s been here for 45 years. If we see Daytona again, we will see Porto Fino again!

Delicious! A must stop for Italian lovers. Waitress was so sweet & accommodating. The homemade Italian salad dressing & bread is the absolute best. I don't think you could go wrong with any choice at this place. Brooklyn came to Daytona🌴😎

OMG! How can this not be rated 5++? We stopped in at 6:30 and got seated right away. From the moment we hit the door, our server was on it! We came with two toddlers in our group of six, and the server was attentive to their every need (obviously a father). Probably the best server we’ve ever had, and we’ve been to some world class restaurants so that’s a real compliment. And the food…Oh my! All of us loved our dishes…Chef’s Special Shrimp, Stuffed Pasta, Pizza, Chocolate cake…it was all delicious. And it’s such a cozy mom and pop kind of place. You should absolutely get yourself in there for dinner as soon as possible!!

We all enjoyed our meals immensely. Fresh, hot and delicious.

Not sure this place only has a 4.2? The food was very good, authentic Italian like my grandma used to make, the atmosphere was cozy, our waitress was super sweet, and attentive. Best part I believe though was the busier, was on top of it.

Anybody that says otherwise is wrong, this place is fantastic! We had great food, great service! The owner visited our table and was very personable. The fact that this restaurant has been here so long should tell you a lot!

Highly recommended.

Stopped in planning to just do a pizza. We ended up getting a Greek salad while pizza baked. Salad fresh & tasty, pizza delicious, especially the crust and sauce. The staff were very attentive and service was excellent. Definitely will be back again.

This place is a surprise from the beginning to the end, when you walk in the door. Be as big as it is, but it is a large restaurant. Our server has been there for 47 years, and the owner came to our table, introduced himself and made it feel a little more like home. Home. The food was just as good as it needs to be. The service was better that it needed to be. This was our first time but it will definitely not be our last!

Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm begging you do NOT I repeat do NOT come here. Please for the love of god. Never in my life have I been to such a place. Clearly I had too much trust in the reviews because 4.2???? Out of 1300???? I'm in shock. Not one but TWO roaches ran past the wall to my right as we waited for our check- probably on their way to meet their friends at the bar. The food, atrocious. A pile of mush. Anything that contained anything starchy like rice or pasta was mush. Straight UP. Meatballs were dogfood and my boyfriend's food was swimming in cheese. Marinara was definitely out of a jar(honestly I hope so at this point considering the coocarachas). Overall, I really wish I was overreacting but I have never ever written a restaurant review. The worst restaurant I have ever been to with insane prices for what you get- worse than nothing. Diabolical. I hope this will save anyone from coming here as we made the mistake of listening to the most recent reviews and the rating which I cannot even trust from now on. We essentially got robbed.
P.s- the most and only authentic item we had was the wine. Let's get that crystal clear.

9/27/2025 Went for my birthday. Food was delicious, the presentation was great. I was very pleased with service. I had the Shrimp marinara sauce baked with motzarela cheese.

Fantastic food/services! I'm extremely particular about Italian cuisine and this exceeded my expectations; you can definitely tell they're Italians just by the vibe.
