    I love Portofio. Have been there many times over the years, however, today we were meeting someone we hadn't seen in a long time and the music was too loud to have a nice conversation. When we asked if they could possibly turn the music down a little, they said they couldn't. We thought that was strange. Their pizza is usuallly outstanding but today the margarita pizza crust was way too soft and mushy. It should have been cooked more so the crust was crispy not mushy. We should have sent it back, but we didn't. Otherwise, Portofino is always a neat restaurant and their staff is super friendly.
