I always love coming here! I brought my brother who was visiting. We tried their Carbonara Pizza. It’s a heavier pizza but delicious!! Definitely had to order the ricotta pillows for my brother to try. I had their $25 lunch and ordered the Arancini to start, Campanelle for my main and lastly ended with tiramisu. We shared all of that as well. It was amaazzzingggg per usual.

One of the best dinners I’ve ever had. Jess was the sweetest and most knowledgeable server, who made us feel relaxed and comfortable, and suggested an amazing bottle of wine to pair perfectly with our dishes. Everything was fantastic and it was a great experience!

Love Pizzeria Portofino's riverfront location & we were seated on the enclosed "patio" which was very nice but a little chilly. Also a bit loud. But the cocktails & food more than made up for that. I highly recommend the limoncello spritz - it's amazing! We had charred pepperoni pizza, vodka pasta pasta, octopus & arugula salad. All were good but the pizza was the star of our meal. Our server was excellent. We'll be back without a doubt.
