Italian Restaurants in Newport

“Best pizza a buffet salad, bar, and daily specials friendly service worth driving an extra hour away to eat there.“

“Portofino Italian Restaurant delivered one of the most authentic Italian dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting — classic Italian ambiance without feeling overdone. The food was outstanding. The pasta was perfectly cooked (true al dente), the sauces were rich and well-balanced, and everything tasted fresh — not overly salted or heavy like many places. You can tell attention is paid to ingredients and preparation. The pizza had a beautifully crisp crust with just the right chew, and the portions were generous without sacrificing quality. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Staff checked in at the right times and were knowledgeable about the menu. If you’re looking for a place that feels like a genuine Italian kitchen rather than a chain restaurant experience, Portofino is absolutely worth it. I’ll definitely be back.“
