We find the quality of food and service consistently of high quality. Last night was no different with one exception. Several of us wanted to order veal dishes only to be told there was no veal left. It was 7 o'clock on a Saturday night so we were understandably disappointed. Happily, the substitute meals we chose were quite good. We will continue to dine at Portofino's.

Portofilo was all it is written up to be. I don't know how I missed it before but I'll be back. They boast their meatballs, for example, as not to be missed. Not to be missed? They were as good as my sainted mother's. Every other morsel just as good and the staff was beyond good. Knowledgeable. Helpful. Courteous. Friendly. Attentive but not intrusive. Portions were so generous I could not finish mine - a first. And the pricing is more than fair. I could go on. Portofino is a pure 10 in all respects.

We had reservations for 12 to celebrate friends birthdays. While the restaurant was packed, our server was still able to be attentive and our food was served in a reasonable amount of time. As always, it was delicious. We have been to this restaurant many times, and they never disappoint.

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.
