    We had an amazing lunch for a special friend and occasion! Portofino staff made it extra great with a custom/personalized menu and fabulous service. The food was delicious and served hot and quickly! One of our favorite places in the city!

    First time dining at Portofino. Aesthetic and delicious. We got a Caesar salad and charred pepperoni pizza- both were absolutely AMAZING!! My friends and I were still talking about it the next day. Will definitely return.

    Had an absoutely great luncheon here for Easter. Everything we ordered was so delicious. We especially loved the mushroom pizza but I also really enjoyed the fresca pizza. The service was decent. I wouldn't say particularly above & beyond and it could have just been that it was pretty busy for Easter. The vibe is always great as you're on the water and it feels a little more intimate with the lower ceilings. Can't wait to come back here again!

    First time eating and it was a great experience and food was tasty. Only complaint was very tight spacing between tables. People walking and squeezing past every moment.

    We had a nice dinning experience on Easter. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing! The parmesan fries are delicious, we'll be back for those! The prime beef meatballs are better than your Italian grandmas. The Arugula Fresca pizza is my new favorite. The crust is thin, cooked to perfection. The toppings went well together and the fresh squeezed lemon added the perfect touch.

    We were at the Easter Sunday brunch which we attended last year. It is outstanding. Great table looking out at the river. Delicious Bellini to begin. Our server was friendly, positive, and fun! Our food was absolutely delicious. I had the Avocado toast with scrambled eggs. The best I’ve had. Love this restaurant!

    Loved it! Went for Easter and they decorated it so nicely! My toddler had a blast and the food was so fresh. It’s just a great spot. Recommend the octopus and of course the pizza.
