The quality of service was excellent! They really made you feel like you're valued. Very courteous, very patient and polite. The food was excellent. At the end, the server even remembered the discount I had shown him in the beginning. And made sure it was applied. Mr. Portofino himself came out and greeted us. Loved it!

I've been going to Portofino's for over 20 years and have given and attended. parties there. It is consistently excellent, with waitstaff that are well trained and really seem to enjoy their work. Everything is perfection.

I was disappointed with the food because I felt as a neighborhood restaurant that has been in my area for some time, the entrée and pasta that came with it, was very small. For what I paid, and compared it to a combination pizzeria/restaurant, their portions and prices were better. i

Soup was not hot but very good, service was poor, food was good. I ordered my salmon medium rare, after waitress took the rest of the table orders, she came back to me & said you want your salmon well done right? I said no medium rare. When I received my meal, it was well done. It had to be returned to the kitchen. It was very disappointing as my other four friends were eating their meals without me.

We had a very enjoyable evening, the food was excellent as was the service. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. One person in our party is a chef and he was very pleased with the experience. My only negative is that is is a little noisy, but not so much as to spoil the evening.

If we could give 0 rating we would. Food was below subpar, service was not so good. Bill was incorrect - charged for 3 dinners - only 2 of us. Should have followed our gut feeling and not stayed for dinner. BBQ chicken was supposed to be boneless, skinless - was not - served stone cold with bbq sauce just poured on - not warm, steamed vegetables were not steamed, not even al dente, oily and salty, ribs were dry and not fresh, collard greens were bitter, corn muffin was so zapped in the microwave that it was like rubber. Very, poor quality all around.
