I was on a date night with my fiancé. Food and service were phenomenal. Lobster was tender, well seasoned and very delicious. It was so appetizing I forgot to take a picture, I just went right in. Nice quiet romantic dinner, definitely enjoyed going there.

Amazing view of the water. Drinks – white sangria – was a little watered down. Appetizers- fried calamari- a little dry and not too much flavor. Ordered the surf turf and brazentino fish for entrees. My husband did not really like the steak. The fish was great.

Went there for my anniversary and was very happy with the food and service as well as a great view. I initially was not happy with my entree, but my waiter immediately gave me the menu and I got something different and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

I went for lunch our waiter sat us down gave us water (with no ice) dry hard cold bread.. (not a fan) It was about 95 degrees outside…(ok no problem) when he finally got around to coming back to our table (8 Mins later) i ordered an appetizer (Escargot- was a little rubbery but had a great taste) had the (white sangria- was a little bitter). Entrees came out I ordered the Branzini and it was delicious no complaints there. He still didn’t check back on us for a while. Overall it was an ok experience. The waiter just needed to be more attentive. Price was a bit much for the quality of the food and the service. I would definitely go back again and try something else with another server.

Today using the groupon 7/20/23 I enjoyed a meal from their groupon menu which is limited to 2 appetizers 2 entrees and 2 desserts which also included a bottle of wine. The total was $250 inc. Tax and tip, absolutely not worth the groupon price but the food was really good. No complaints. I had the 2 lobster and veggies my husband had the shrimp scampi which was good. Everything made to perfection. I think it’s better go not purchase the groupon and order from their regular menu which would had of been cheaper. The ending transaction was $54.00 which we paid. I will not be returning because there are other restaurants that give you more for your money and a wider choice. I am glad I had the experience at Portofino. P.S. the waiter could had been more attentive.

We just had my Fathers 90th birthday there this weekend, Mario was very nice and professional, when we sat down to go over the details he was very accommodating. Saturday the service and the food was outstanding. The servers were polite and attentive. The room was a nice size and very cool on what was a hot summer day. All in all I would highly recommend Portofinos. And it’s easy on and off the island.

My family and I visited. Actually our second time. The staff was great and the food came out at a timely manner. The outdoor is beautiful and my 9 and 12 yr old loved it. They enjoyed watching the boats dock. My husband enjoyed himself too. We had a great time will definitely visit again.

We had the Surf and Turf, seafood pasta and lamb. It is so bad. None of the seafood taste fresh. You gotta do better especially with the price you’re charging. Will never dine here again
