Your restaurant came highly recommended by frequent Quebec travelers. Our experience was disappointing. $28 for a 4 inch square slice of lasagna that was not one of the best we ever had was disappointing. & then a terra-mousse in a glass? Really? A glass of whipped cream with pinch of runny mousse in the bottom. You should be ashamed.

This place is busy but usually can walk in if you are willing to wait a little. Went there on nice evening in July. Food was excellent! Good quality & portions. Everyone was helpful. Also had English menu. Highly recommend trying here for authentic Italian cuisine.

My 3 girlfriends & I went to Portofino for a birthday celebration. The pasta was exquisite, Fernando was serving us, he kept us entertained, & laughing all night. Beautiful location with a cute outdoor patio, great for people watching. We sat outside, & it was lovely. After dinner Fernando surprised us with a cake for our friend & we all sang even people on the street joined in! What a memorable experience, highly recommend this restaurant. We will be back!

Had a wonderful dinner & bottle of Chianti. I had the lasagna, which was phenomenal. Seating is a bit tight. Service & staff are excellent. Highly recommend. We went back Sunday afternoon for pizza, which was excellent. Love this place!

The hotel staff at Hotel du Vuex Quebec recommended Portofino. We had an 8:30 reservation, arrived 1/2 hour early hoping to be accommodated, & we were immediately seated. Service was excellent, & the food was very good. The Spaghetti carbonara was the best I've had in a long time. I would highly recommend Portofino.
