The food was great, fresh ingredients. My tomato risotto was awesome 👌
Very few vegetarian dishes, & if you're avoiding pasta or pizza (which are good here) the risotto is the only one left

Their vegetarian pizza was delicious as well as their bruschettas. I highly recommend if you're in the mood for Italian cuisine.

Nous sommes arrivés en fin de service & avons attendu presque 1 heure pour les plats! Les pizzas ne sont pas terribles & petites pour le prix. L'assiette aux palourdes...il y en avait 5 minuscules! Cher pour ce que c'est.

Excellente pizza italienne. La tarte au sucre d'érable est sublime & le tiramisu est très bon aussi mais la portion est un peu trop grosse.

Live music, delicious pasta & pizza, & a comfortable atmosphere! The server Steven was super friendly & helped us with the menu to let us know what would best suit our table! Fettucine Alfredo was the best! Go for the large size the small is super tiny! Everything was amazing!

Boy am I glad my arm got twisted to go here. The food smelled & looked so good that I actually extended my meal time to have a late dinner. & yes it is absolutely worthwhile.

One of our friends kids had two chicken parmesan it was so good. & he's a picky eater. This was the biggest meal I'd seen him eat on our trips.

I grabbed the Portofino Charcuterie Board. So many great options & this gave me a plethora of food, flavors & experiences. Very possible the best bruschetta I've ever eaten. Perfect little bit of foccaccia; toasted crunchy with a soft interior dough. Nice meats, fresh tomato & mozzarella. Could have had a more perfect dinner.

& look at that dinner size Caesar. Imagine that with some chicken, it was huge. We all shared so it worked out quite well.

Pizza was also done well. Good dough, nice toppings & a good dough.

Service also top notch. We dropped a knife & a new one was delivered in a time that felt like it was before it hit the ground. Great people took care of our table.

If I could have fit it in I would have tried their desserts. They looked amazing. There's always next time!

The food was 100% delicious. My salad was great. It's a combination of two types of ducks on top the greens. The dressing & duck complement each other. My husband's pasta dish had giant shrimps that made me drool. The restaurant has a wine cellar in the basement, but I didn't see wine on the menu, so we didn't try any. Our waitress was also very attentive. Happy with the service.

(Edits after we came back for lunch)
We had a pizza & salad. The salad was as good as always. The pizza was good. The cannoli was disappointing. Despite the nice flavor (the chef replaced chocolate chip with orange confit) & wonderful shell, those cannolis were not filled.

Nous avons eu un excellent repas chez Portofino Brasserie Italienne. Tout ce que nous avons goûté était délicieux, des pâtes à la pizza, en passant par la burrata fraîche. Les plats étaient préparés avec des ingrédients de qualité & débordaient de saveurs.

La pizza avait une croûte parfaitement cuite, les pâtes étaient savoureuses & bien exécutées, & la burrata était tout simplement excellente. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service attentionné & l'expérience très agréable du début à la fin.

Une belle adresse pour les amateurs de cuisine italienne. Nous y retournerions sans hésiter !

I had the burrata pizza & it was delicious! I don't eat bacon, & the staff were very accommodating & happily modified the pizza for me. Great customer service, fresh ingredients, & a wonderful dining experience. I would definitely return!
