    We truly enjoy going to Portofino. They have truly improved in their service. The waiters and assistants were very attentive. We always enjoy the lasagna and the soups. The only complaint that I have is that the salads seem to be getting small and small portions, unfortunately. for the price I feel that they should be a little more generous. Otherwise it was a great night out with the family.

    After many years of knowing that this little place was there, we finally decided to give it a try. I was able to get reservations. It’s in a strip mall. They’re very crowded and it’s the kind of place where people stay and hang out and have long conversations, everybody knows each other, which meant that the table turnover was very slow. We did have to wait about half an hour past our reservation time and it was worth it. The food was very good. The people working there were nonstop rushing around. It was hard to get their attention, but they were very efficient. I don’t know if it’s that way every night. Again high energy really good food. It felt like a neighborhood spot and we will definitely be returning.
