Food and service were excellent only the dessert was a little disappointing , dry cheesecake. The noise level was a little high but still could have a conversation. We will definitely be back and will recommend.

Another outstanding dinner at Portofino’s. The meatballs are to die for. The Salmon special, chicken francaise and eggplant parm were exceptional. The most consistent food of any Italian restaurant in this area. The service is excellent and you are never rushed. As close to eating at home with family as you will get in a restaurant.
