PortoVino Ristorante Italiano is a fantastic new Italian spot in Des Moines, a hidden upscale gem a short walk from the waterfront. The space feels like a warm, polished, and inviting speakeasy with low glowing moody lights, creating an open yet cozy and warm atmosphere. It is a comfortable setting for solo diners, couples, families, and groups celebrating a birthday.
The full enticing menu features delicious pasta and wine. Appetizers, entrees, and desserts are all amazing. Specific excellent dishes include the ribeye, lobster ravioli, shrimp fettuccini, tortellini with prawns, and steak over garlic-olive-oil spaghetti with asparagus. The sautéed spicy calamari is a tender and flavorful starter. Seafood is fresh, with perfectly balanced and zesty flavors. Portions, quality, and pricing hit the sweet spot. The dessert tray is beautiful with cannoli and other Italian classics.
Service is top-notch, lovely, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The staff provides excellent service, with one server also acting as a knowledgeable sommelier. It is a great pick for anyone wanting a solid, well-made Italian meal.
