The Portofino Restaurant is an old-school, quaint Italian eatery that offers a warm welcome from the owner. The staff are polite and attentive, providing excellent service. The menu features a variety of classic Italian dishes, including the eggplant with great sauce and the Chicken Pilar (Piccata) Ole, which is described as one of the best piccatas the reviewer has ever had. The osso bucco is also a standout, evoking fond memories for the reviewer. The limoncello is a delightful digestif, served in a cute shooting glass. While the experience was generally positive, with a delicious calamari appetizer, pork dish, and crème brûlée, there were some issues with the availability of certain menu items and the timing of the entrees. Overall, The Portofino Restaurant is a charming and well-executed Italian establishment, though the service could be improved to ensure a consistently excellent dining experience.
