    Not impressed with the pizza! I understand it’s Neapolitan style pizza but it was paper thin and not worth the price. I guess you pay for the view.

    We come from Michigan and look forward to always stopping in to Pizzeria Portofino . Server was great. Food (pizza) was unfortunately mediocre this visit. Hoping next time will be better.

    The Brussels sprout pizza was outstanding. The Tortellini en Brodo was good, but it was better during restaurant week. The Gem salad should be added to the regular menu. The service was great as well. I can't wait to go back to have the pizza again.
