Another outstanding dinner at Portofino’s. The meatballs are to die for. The Salmon special, chicken francaise and eggplant parm were exceptional. The most consistent food of any Italian restaurant in this area. The service is excellent and you are never rushed. As close to eating at home with family as you will get in a restaurant.

We went to Casa Bella for my birthday dinner last Friday. Food was exceptional and our waiter was very professional! I'm a huge mushroom fan and I'm glad that I got the chicken and shrimp dish with mushroom and baked veggies. I did not believe from Google that someone said it was the best Italian food within 30 miles radius, now I can safely agree. Aside from food served, it was a lovely and classy establishment right by a lake. During the day the view must be very nice. Everything was good, except one, we had a huge bridal party sitting next to us and it was very loud at certain point. However, it was understandable. Overall great place, will come back again.
