The food was excellent, service was great. My only criticism is that the food was served on a wooden paddle, so when you cut into the food you are also cutting into the wood.

Food was warm and very good! Waiter really friendly and very good! Loved the raspberry cheesecake!

Service attentive and friendly.food excellent.noise level of music fine for conversation and not intrusive.the place is cold and needs more heating but would not prevent us going again

Food was ok, service was good but felt very rushed when asking for our order, and between courses, it was almost like they needed the table although the restaurant wasn’t busy. The area where we were sitting was very chilly and draughty.

The wine was much more expensive than other italian restaurants.

An excellent evening, good portions, high quality food and first class service

Disappointed. Been a regular visitor of portofino’s the last few years and always been greeted with a welcome and found the service and food to be excellent.

Starters were good, main courses were just smothered in cheap cheese and lacking flavour.

Second visit and the food was fabulous. Compliments to the Chef

Attentive staff in a relaxing atmosphere with excellent food. Will definitely go again.
