    We have had the pleasure of dining at Pavesi's at least eight times and even brought our friends with us last time. The food is wonderful, and the service is outstanding. We are always greeted as friends by Moe the owner, who wears the hat. He is charming and stops by at every table to inquire how your dinner is and if you are enjoying your evening. We always stop here for dinner, whenever we see a concert at the Mayo Arts Center. We have enjoyed several different items from the menu including appetizers and desserts and have never been disappointed. The food is hot, delicious and the portions are decent. I usually end up giving my husband half of my dinner, since it is too much for me. The service staff is friendly, considerate and always at your disposal to make your evening unforgettable. The ambience is also warming and welcoming. The music on Saturdays also makes the evening extra special. Please make a reservation and try this "gem".

    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.
