Fòod was excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was very attentive and professional. Only thing is they never updated our reservation after calling from 2 people to 3 people and as a result did not have a good table for us so we elected to sit at a round table in the bar area which was not quite as nice. Would have been nicer in the dining room.

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.
