We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner with friends at Portofino's. Scarlet, our server, was attentive , friendly and helpful, while managing a busy room of guests. She kept us informed about prep time for our food so there wouldn't be any surprises and helped us with our wine (BYOB). Always a relaxing atmosphere and not too loud for dinner conversation with friends. The food was delicious and portion sizes were huge -- most of us took home a doggy bag. We enjoyed the chicken parm, shrimp scampi and a pork special, as well as my favorite the Mediterranean Angel Hair pasta. My wife, who hadn't been here in a while, said it was one of her new favorites. Yum!!

This is our "go to" local Italian. The food is great, especially at the price. Love the BYO aspect. The food is just on-the-money every time we go. Love Portofino's!
Taylor
The food was amazing as usual. They always have the best specials and Rich at the front is great!

What a gem! Everything was excellent: food, portion size, service, ambience. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood corner of Morristown, and BYOB too.
Andrew
I don't normally review restaurants but this restaurant was wonderful. Perfect service, amazing food and desserts, real family owned feel. BYOB which I prefer. No Problem finding parking on a Friday night.
Renee
The Bronzini Francese, Flounder Oreganato, and Pink Sauce with Sausage and mushrooms were excellent. The male host was very pleasant. Service was excellent. We just had my daughter's bridal shower there family style and everything was impeccable. Jose was an excellent server and organizer.

Portofinos is a local favorite of ours. Everything we've had is dependably delicipus. The long-stem artichoke appetizer is a real treat.
Dinah
We had not been to Portofino in many years and we had a wonderful evening. The food was delicious and served in very large portions -- most people definitely take home leftovers -- Sean, our server, was terrific, and we brought a bottle of incredible wine (it's BYO) so we had a super evening. The artichoke and olive appetizer was delicious and could have served three easily. My husband loved his fried calamari -- very tender and tasty, not oily and heavy -- and even he added leftovers to my artichoke appetizer to take home. My eggplant parmesan and pasta were superb. We were stuffed and didn't even consider dessert but we will be back.... soon! I would highly recommend reservations because every table was taken on a Saturday night. I'm happy for this long standing restaurant to be doing so well!
Daniel
The food was great and our server was friendly. My only complaint with this visit is that the service was a bit slow. We will still go back though and definitely recommend the place!
Thomas
Beet salad appy was perfect. Penne with pesto and fried mooz was off the CHART! Thank you Lisa.....
Always a pleasure to dine at this establishment. The food is fresh, hot and delicious. We'll definitely be back.

If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine in Morristown, look no further than Portofino's. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're greeted with the warm, inviting atmosphere that instantly transports you to a charming trattoria in the heart of Italy. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, making it perfect for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a night out with friends. Now let's talk about the food — absolutely phenomenal! Every dish bursts with flavor and clearly reflects the passion and tradition behind true Italian cooking. The pasta is fresh, the sauces are rich and perfectly seasoned, and the seafood is cooked to perfection. Their signature dishes are beyond delicious, and even the simple classics like spaghetti bolognese or chicken parmigiana taste elevated and made with love. The service is just as impeccable — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You feel like family from the moment you sit down to the last bite of dessert. Portofino's isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. One that you'll want to return to again and again. Highly recommend to anyone craving an authentic Italian meal that feeds both your stomach and your soul!
