    The food and cocktails were wonderful. We started with calamari as an appetizer which was fresh and crispy. I had a fra diablo sauce on a nightly special during a previous visit. This sauce is not standard on the menu but they were able to make it for my dinner. I really appreciated that. Finally, the strawberry shortcake cheesecake and chocolate peanut butter martini were delicious. We had a happy group of diners! Our server, Nick, was wonderfully accommodating. Good job.

    We went to Portofino Italian Kitchen and Wine bar for my birthday. The experience was fantastic. The food was exquisite, the service by Dave was amazing, the atmosphere was delightful. A beautiful presentation of the entrees and the food was nothing less than perfection. I would recommend everyone to Protofino for an experience of excellent food, atmosphere, service and a night to remember. We came here for vacation and wish we had Portofino back home to enjoy on any occassion.

    Excellent food and attentive, friendly service. We ordered two of the “specials” for the evening and they both exceeded expectations. We have been here several times and have never been disappointed.

    Very much appreciated, and will tell Dave how much you appreciated his service!

    Valentines Day, you generally do not expect top rated service due to the large number of people going out for dinner. However, Portofino came through with exceptional service and food quality that was above and beyond.

    Thank you!! We are very glad we were able to stay on top of Quality of Experience during a very busy day!!!!!
