Portofino Restaurant & Events offers a unique dining experience with its cool and cozy ambiance, featuring different looks and feels on each dining floor. The welcoming staff provides excellent service, and the reasonably priced drinks, including the signature apple mule, are a highlight. The menu boasts delicious dishes, such as the crostini with hummus/basil aioli, veal, and lamb chops, along with decadent desserts like almond pound cake and cannolis. Guests can enjoy excellent patio seating, a great wine selection, and rich gelato, all accompanied by top-notch service.
The restaurant has a lot of history, with some believing the ghost of the previous owner is still present. The brunch menu has received praise for its variety and the chef's ability to accommodate dietary needs. Customers have raved about the exceptional food, including the calamari and lamb dishes, as well as the eggplant, which is beautifully presented on a bed of pasta with a light red sauce. Recent visitors have noted a lovely atmosphere, with attentive staff and enjoyable music. The back balcony overlooking the canal is a highlight for many, offering a pleasant view of the water.
While there have been comments about minor timing issues with food service, some emphasized the food quality and atmosphere make it worth returning. Portofino also hosts events, such as baby showers, which have been praised for their perfect execution and delicious buffet options. The restaurant is very clean, and the owner often visits tables to chat with guests and thank them for coming in. However, some guests have experienced long wait times for service, leading to mixed feelings about their dining experience.
