    Portafino never disappoints. The menu is limited but based on a typical Italian dinner with four course plus dessert. The food and service are both top rate. The wine list has something for everybody without being overwhelming. Highly recommend Portafino.

    We have driven past this restaurant many times on the way home, but this was the first time we’ve eaten there. The food was authentic (our daughter-in-law is Italian) and outstanding in presentation, serving temperature and preparation. It was difficult to choose from the many choices on the menu. We will definitely eat here again. And again.

    Everything was good, just not great. We enjoyed our time but I fell just short of 5 stars in our opinion. We would go back but it won’t be in our top 5 or even Top 10

    Food is very good, a little expensive, but you have your table for the whole night - so lots of time to talk and catch up with friends!
