    After the special off menu arancini, I chose the lobster ravioli topped with scallops and shrimp (and tender asparagus!) with an incredible vodka sauce loaded with my favorite: capers. Exquisite!!! Our server David was outstanding. Salad did not seem to come from a bag… refreshing. On par with Villa Tuscana and Ciao with owners and chefs who care about what they serve!!

    We had a wonderful experience, the food was delicious and the waiter David was great. We also had the chance to meet the owner because he was walking around and checking on customers and making sure everyone was doing well. I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Very good dinner! Recommend by a friend. Menu is a little limited for me. A few items you don’t see on other Italian restaurants in town. We will not hesitate to go back.
    Portofino Italian Kitchen & Wine BarResponded on January 14, 2025
    Glad you had a good time! Our menu has been created with two goals in mind: Quality and Authenticity / and that , to us, implies a smaller selection of dishes. We do offer, every day between two and 5 specials and complementary soups. Looking forward to seeing you again!
