My eggplant parmigiana was excellent as usual, but my husband's veal parmigiana was very dry and overcooked. Our drinks were great.

Wonderful experience once again. Started with goat cheese bruschetta and meatballs with polenta, super delicious. Everyone's main dishes were just as delectable.

Portifinos had a nice spread for Thanksgiving brunch, but unfortunately, we did not enjoy our Thanksgiving brunch because the food was really cold, the rolls were so dry, they just crumbled, there was no butter for the rolls (they did bring some after I asked), and the deal breaker was there was NO GRAVY??? UGH! How do you east thanksgiving dinner with no gravy?!! It was 60$ per person, AND then they added a 20% tip on top of that to our bill! Our waitress was great, but she delivered only one drink, and other bus boys brought refills for my husband.

This was our third visit to Portofino‘s. We've always had excellent service and food. However, when we dined most recently, our salads came out immediately, but our main entrée took approximately 45 to 50 minutes before we received it. There was a bigger party of eight that arrived after us, and they got their food before us. Our server did not offer an explanation as to what the delay was. We were uncertain whether our order made it to the kitchen or if there was a delay in the kitchen, but other tables were getting food before us, and they arrived after us. We were very disappointed that our server or even someone higher up the chain did not come and give an explanation as to what the delay was. When the food did arrive, it was excellent and we have no problems with the quality of the food. At other establishments that we have gone to to dine if there was delays or issues there was always some kind of comp with a free dessert or something of that nature or even an explanation as to the delay. However, nothing was offered. We would've very much even just appreciated someone coming in over to talk to us about the reason that there was a delay in our food. We will come back to the restaurant, but it'll likely be a long time before we do so.

Our first time there & we shall return! We had cocktails & carpaccio (so good!), the gnocchi bolognese & the eggplant parmigiana. Servings were generous enough to allow for leftovers to enjoy today. If you like carpaccio, theirs is not to be missed—presentation is a work of art. No room for dessert!

Food and service was excellent. As the place filled up it got loud but that wouldn't prevent me from returning. Highly recommend.

Good food however the eggplant parmigiana needs to have the skin removed and fried in a hotter oil to make it crispier. It was too soft

We had the privilege of being served by the owner's son and got to meet the owner/Chef after dinner. Drinks were stellar food was excellent and being a sicilian myself can vouch for the authenticity of the food. Will be making it a regular stop!
Absolutely the best. Yummy food. Our server was so accommodating. He granted our every desire. Plenty of food to take home for another meal. Can't wait to go back!

I don’t write many reviews but when I do, they’re always positive. This place is absolutely exceptional. Great service and some of the best tasting food I’ve eaten at a restaurant in a long time. Food was flavorful, tasted authentic and was piping hot upon arrival. So excited we tried this place! Will definitely be back
