Portabellos An American Cafe

Spent all day at VA Hospital and leaving my daughter to decide where to eat was a challenge because I’m in a motorized wheelchair. we pulled into the back of Portabellos to see if I could fit and the owner came out to say he would put me through the window if I couldn’t fit thru the door. (Kidding, I think). He was so hospitable and made us feel welcomed. Our dinner’s was perfectly made to our liking and was brought out very fast. (No food or water for me all day)On my way out the back door I thanked the two chef’s in the kitchen and said this was my first time hear, but will not be my last. Don’t know your first names but I will learn them soon.Thank you for being YOU! Maurine And Lori

Excellent everything. If there was a 6 star rating I’d give it. If you’re in the DMV I strongly recommend you try Portabellos. Reservations recommended.

Delicious varied menu with an impressive wine list. It was full but not too loud or crowded. We had (and recommend) the hamburger, beef lasagna, and black bean soup.

Love Portobellos! Omg - the lamb with rice and broccoli is amazing. And, MJ always provides warm yummy bread with the meal. Once you become a regular, he remembers your drink of choice and dietary restrictions. It’s quiet - no blaring TVs - so you can actually talk to the person you are with. I’ve never had a bad meal here. In fact, the food is wonderful!

MJ offered a Thanksgiving dinner that was the best I have eaten (I’m 75). The portions were generous. The turkey was moist and vegetables seasoned well and not overcooked. Congratulations on a job well done.

This was one of our go-to restaurants before the pandemic. Really good food at reasonable prices. Happy to report their carry out dishes are delicious and the prices are still reasonable! Two of us split the hanger steak, mushroom ravioli and their goat cheese salad. Truly wonderful meal! Check it out.

Portobellos is an outstanding, family-owned local restaurant where we have enjoyed takeout nearly every week the last two months. Whether it’s standbys like grilled ribeye steak, fresh lump crab cakes, seafood and saffron risotto, or pistachio crusted breast of chicken, or specials like rainbow trout with mashed potatoes and spinach, everything has been cooked to perfection. Prices are very reasonable. Portabellos easily accommodates Gluten Free restrictions, with several GF appetizers, entrees and desserts. Highly recommend.

Hadn't been to Portabello’s for a couple of years, but wanted to support a local business during the pandemic closures. Take-out was smooth, well-packed and above average in quality. Recommended.

Best food in Northern Virginia....dont miss this gem of a restaurant!

Worst small meal I’ve had in Arlington.
