Good food, great owners-staff. Love talking with the owners, whom also work hard as cooks and service staff. Great people. Would... recommend for an intimate date or family lunch/dinner. Keep up the great work guys! Read more
We like Portofinos menu and the food is delicious but the restaurant owners/staff are undependable. I had a reservation for six... at 11:00 AM one morning and the restaurant was closed when we got there. Another potential customer called the owner and theowner said he would be on his way shortly. The restaurant closes on Tuesday but I called for takeout this afternoon and thereis no answer. Either a restaurant is dependable or it is not. I won't "bother " them again . Read more

We wanted to go time ago, one day we went, and it was closed, but now, they have new hours. Well, finally today we could place a... to go order. We got the Nick's salad, pasta sampler, Joe's Garden Special, and the kid's ravioli, everything was delicious! Theflavors of their sauce, the cheese, the veggies, oh my, their bread! The girl who gave me my order was so nice! We're definitelycoming back either to eat there or to go! Read more

The hospitality was great thewaitress was really friendly and always made sure we had our drinks filled and made sure we were okay. Absolutely love thisplace! Read more
Really wanted to like this place, but sadly was extremely disappointed. This was the most greasy, butter-filled meal I've ever... eaten. We ordered the chicken Albanese and veal Albanese... the container was mostly full with a melted butter sauce... therehad to be at least 3 sticks of butter just in one container. Disgusting! Also for the price you didn't get very much food, $18for the veal and it was one thin piece of meat and only 2 pieces of ravioli. Photo of all the butter after we removed the foodfrom the container. ???? Read more
This place is amazing. We will definitely be regulars there. Best calamari I ever ate. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Lots of... food. You will be full when you leave. Read more
Wonderful food a little pricey. But the food is great. The bread is to die for but it'd be nice if the shrimp scampi had a salad... or a vegetable instead of only bread. But we will definitely return. Read more
