We had the most wonderful Valentine's Day dinner at Portofino's Italian Restaurant in Myrtle Beach! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, romantic, and inviting — perfect for a special evening. The service was outstanding — attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely friendly. Even on a busy holiday, everything flowed smoothly and we felt truly taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of authentic Italian flavor. The filet and lobster and pasta were perfectly cooked, the sauces rich and flavorful. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. Portofino's created a Valentine's experience that felt intimate and special. If you're looking for a romantic dinner spot in Myrtle Beach — whether for Valentine's Day or any special occasion — this is the place. We'll definitely be back! ❤️

Had supper there 2/13 excellent started with meatball app then veal parm land lobster ravioli too full for dessert new owners but same menu presentation and service on point we will be back

My wife and I came here last night for our anniversary. The food and service were excellent. I had the spaghetti carbonara and my wife had the lobster ravioli. Everything was fresh and delicious.

The quality of the food was very good. My pasta dish was a little dry, needed more sauce. Also for an upscale, higher priced meal we were disappointed that the salad dressings were not made in house and fresh parmesan cheese was not offered. The only cheese was the "old" Kraft cheese.

Incredible dining experience...again! Portofino's provides great food and service and not bad pricing either! One of our favorite Italian experiences.

I took my wife for her birthday for a 7 o'clock reservation. Everything was great. We ordered wine and a soft drink. No appetizer we got a couple slices of bread and 2 salads which were excellent. The blue cheese dressing was excellent. We ordered the grouper on special. The wife order that
It was really good but it was lukewarm. I ordered Lasagna with 2 meatballs. My meatballs were cold, so they brought me 2 new hot meatballs. And then my Lasagna was cold. Then, they brought me another Lasagna. At this point I was so hungry. I ate the meatballs which were to me average. And then the lasagna tasted like stouffers the sauce is sweet. I did not like it at all
Manager was very respectful and the waitress was very nice. He did give me another glass of wine on the house, and he did take the Lasagna off and which I still had to pay $75. And which I had 2 slices of bread, a small salad and 2 meatballs is what I got to eat. And my wife got to eat her lukewarm meal.He asked me to give them another try.I'm probably going to decline that offer.I'm very disappointed especially for my wife's birthday

Atmosphere was nice. Bar was nice. Service was so so. Was hard to get a drink because the bartender was never behind the bar. Our waiter said he would bring bread and 20 minutes later it finally came. The martini from the bar was not good when it got there.
I will say the entrée were very good.

The food here tasted like it came right out of my grandmother's kitchen. The spaghetti putinesca brought tears to my eyes. Not lying. It hit me in the feels, hard. Wife and I are locals and we absolutely love this place. Made every italian restaurant that we went to before it taste like pasta out of a can. Got reservations for tomorrow. I'll eat here till im dead.

Amazing food and service. We saw Caprese Salad on the online menu but not the in-house menu and they were willing to make it for us anyway. I follow a low-carb diet and they were willing to work with me on it, which is a big ask in an Italian restaurant. The Salmon was phenomenal. My husband’s lasagna and bruschetta were wonderful and the pistachio cream cake he ordered was decadent and divine. Lorena was a delight! We will be back!!
