We had a wonderful service from Marina and all the staff. They made our visit a truly wonderful experience!

Out for lunch and discovered this quaint Italian restaurant, complete with a brick oven. Group of 10 quickly seated. Waitstaff was very attentive. Delicious entrees cooked to perfection. Lots of beverage selections to pair with every item on the menu--salads, pizzas, a large variety of pasta dishes, sandwiches, and desserts. Our compliments to the chef. If you are looking for a quiet, authentic Italian restaurant, then come dine at Portofino!
