Portofino - Hanley

Lovely food. Staff attentive. Just wish we had been seated downstairs!!

Lovely place, friendly staff, good food and reasonable priced .

Fantastic food and wonderful service the cocktails were also amazing x

Absolutely gorgeous food, worth the extra long wait. The waitress was very apologetic.

Amazing restaurant, great staff, great atmosphere and interior and food was fabulous. Recommend the calamari starter!

Lovely food and great service, it’s the second time we’ve been and we will be back.

I went here to celebrate my partners birthday it was quite busy and we were surprise we got our food with little waiting times which was good. On the whole it was a lovely evening with lovely food.

Good Atmosphere and great food and friendly service, very enjoyable

Average food, overpriced and not traditional Italian. It was just okay

Lovely flavours to every dish...recommend it to anyone after fine dining...even do a early bird 2 course pre theatre menu

We had a lovely lunch the food was delicious and the service was quick and efficient

Lovely lunch. Food nice and hot. Decent service . Convenient for the theatre

We arrived a little early but were taken to a table of our choice straight away. The drinks order was taken quickly whilst we chose the food. We both enjoyed the food. The staff were exceptional, very friendly and helpful. We will be returning.

Lovely food, quick service and relaxed atmosphere will definitely be returning

Fantastic food and wine served promptly by smiling and helpful staff which made all the difference to our experience. We can’t praise you enough.

First class service excellent all round food delicious we will be back

Loved it, food was excellent, waiting times not too long. As there weren’t too many people in when we were there I think maybe the background music was a little too loud. Apart from that it was a lovely evening.

Great food and lovely staff. Will be going back again

My partner and I had a lovely meal prior to a theatre show. The food was delicious and the staff lovely very friendly and professional. Prompt service . This is our second visit and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend

Starters ok, main pizza undercooked, salmon with mash had no mash, sea bass on mediterranean had no mediterranean veg, rather a bed of cold, hard mash

We received a friendly, efficient welcome and quick service as we had specified on booking that we were going to the theatre. The theatre menu was simple and good value for money. I would have preferred a spicier sauce with my chicken, but my friend said the hint of chilli in her seafood was just right. A very pleasant start to an evening out. We will return.

All staff were very friendly and professional and the food was delicious

Really great food and attentive friendly, helpful staff. Really handy for the Regent’s Theatre. We don’t live locally but if in the area again would definitely return

Service was exceptional, waiter was attentive and polite and the food was the icing on the cake to a perfect evening☺️

Disappointed to find a pared down menu. Definitely not the Portofino experience we used to have. Must be under new management. Now just an ordinary Italian Bistro, no longer 'fine' dining. Prices are high for what you get! However, the service was very good and the food was good.

Lovely place, great food. Had the two course lunch option which was great value for money

The food and staff were great but air conditioning would be a bonus as it was very warm in the booth

From the minute we walked in to the minute we left was lovely the host was friendly and polite, we were led to our table and the waitresses were so friendly and kind everyone of them smiley.. food was delicious and fair priced aswell only thing I was gutted about was I didn't take any cash I thought I could tip with card but they don't do that so take cash for a tip if ur a tipper the ladies and cooks deserved one

Have not been to this restaurant for many years because of various circumstances, and we were very impressed by both the service and quality of the food. Excellent menu choices and very reasonably priced.

It was a theatre night and was packed. Staff were lovely. Food was delightful. Have already booked my next visit. Theatre menu is great value.

Food was beautiful and the service was spot on also 😊

Lovely restaurant with great music and atmosphere. The staff were brilliant and the waitresses very good at their jobs. Can highly recommend. Thanks again.

We loved everything about our meal. Will definitely be returning. I particularly liked the friendliness of the staff. Food was delicious.

Loved the food. It was really tasty. But found the beer to be flat. I will go back again.

Great service and choice of food. All food was lovely. My only criticism is the quality of the menus- they seemed old and tatty and the laminated covers were all peeling off the actual card menu. Nicer menus would create a much better initial impression.

This was only our 2nd time at Portofino, we again had a lovely delicious meal and the staff were amazing. We will definitely be back

An absolute gem! Great service, and a really good variety of very tasty food! Would recommend Portofino to anyone in the area. Fantastic.

Brilliant service and exceptional food, thank you to all the staff

Lovely food and great service. Will definitely return very soon

Lovely restaurant excellent service.the food was delicious and not too pricey.

Easy booking, welcoming staff, great service, very aesthetic and lovely food.

Thoughtful service, good chef, cosy ambiance. We made the right choise by crossing this restaurant.

Decent meal and service. Thought the stroganoff was a bit bland and liked seasoning.

Great service and friendly staff I will definitely visit again.

We were seated right by a music speaker - asked for volume to be reduced and it was for a short while but kept getting back loud

The food was was excellent and the service was cheerful and polite. The meal was good value too.

Lovely staff, good pre theatre menu deal, nice food and wine

Great food and service was excellent. Value for money. 👍
