    The food, service, value for money and overall experience was really great - exceeded our expectations for a busy pre-theatre dinner. Highly recommend

    Food was excellent, but every time the door got opened which was a lot it was very drafty on my back and I didn't want to sit there have my meal with my coat on. Wish I asked for a different table but they were busy when we got seated

    It was a pleasant meal, although the menu had changed, and there was less choice than on our previous visits. The food was good, but not quite as special as we had hoped. Nevertheless, it was fine, and I think we will return, as many other diners had done, because overall, with good service and a buzz in the restaurant it was an enjoyable evening.

    Food tasted like it had come out of a packet, not freshly made pizza base, not homemade pasta or sauce. Very mediocre.

    This was our first visit to Portofino, we were visiting Stoke on our canal boat. We booked on line and based on the availability we wondered if we might be dining alone. We couldn't have been more wrong, very busy restaurant with a large group from a local business. The restaurant staff coped well with the high occupancy on a midweek night. We enjoyed our meals, and were very impressed with the front of house staff

    We had never visited before, but with the Regent Theatre booked for 7.30 we thought we'd try it as it is so close. As soon as we walked in we felt comfortable even thought we were the first diners there, good ambience, lovely decoration and we were greeted immediately by a very friendly lady. The seating was nice and enclosed like a booth, our drinks then food orders arrived quite quickly - each dish we ordered was so delicious (bruschetta and a mushroom dish for starters, then the duck and also cannelloni main courses, profiteroles for dessert). We didn't feel rushed at any time and the waiting staff checked on us when needed without being intrusive. The whole experience was positive in every way, thank you Portofino, we'll be back!

    Great food and generous portions size but service wasn't great as we weren't asked if we would like dessert or another drink. Would eat here again though as the food was that good. Blonde main waitress was brilliant and very hard working
