It was good there was no waiting for a table & food was very good then we ate dessert that we recommend for you the tiramisu recommended place if you like Italian
The food & service was absolutely amazing, the only negative thing about the experience was that the music was a bit loud & made it a little difficult to have a conversation. Had the cannelloni with maple syrup pie for dessert. Definitely recommend both.
Amazing location, service & food! The pasta was fresh, delicious & cooked perfectly al dente. If you like seafood, I would highly recommend the linguine with cuttlefish ink & seafood - the seafood flavour of the pasta itself was incredible & the amount of clams, mussels & scallops in the dish far exceeded what you'd normally get. I'd also recommend the Cherry Blossom cocktail - SO tasty & reminded me of a sour cherry candy. Our server was AMAZING - he brought us complimentary shots of limoncello after our meal & even drank one with us! Our overall experience was a 10/10 & I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
Je valide ++++. Le 1er vrai restaurant italien que je découvre à Québec.
Des pâtes au bon goût de l'Italie. & un vrai tiramisu. Bravo à toute l'équipe !!!
Je vous le recommande ++++ & si je le pouvais je mettrais une 6ème étoiles.

Est passé d'un très bon resto il y a 8 ans à un resto fast-food , pizza pâteuse, lasagne avec produits moins raffinés comme le peperoni, personne à l'accueil énervée alors que nous avions réservé & que le restaurant était pratiquement vide, nous étions venu à 4 reprises & c'était délicieux mais nous n'y viendrons plus ni le recommanderons.
I recently dined at Portofino Brasserie Italienne & was truly impressed. I tried their pasta, & it was absolutely outstanding - perfectly cooked with that authentic al dente texture, & the flavors were rich, balanced, & memorable. You can really taste the care & attention to detail in their preparation.
The mocktails - Red Ruby & CocoLime - were refreshing & well balanced.
The atmosphere of the brasserie adds to the experience: warm, inviting, & elegantly styled, making it a great place for both casual dining & special occasions. The service was also attentive & welcoming, which made the evening even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for authentic Italian flavors & pasta done right, I highly recommend Portofino. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of their menu!
It was our last night in Quebec City & we were looking for a nice place for dinner! Our concierge recommended Portifino. We were not disappointed. Portifino offered the atmosphere we were looking for, & the food was amazing! Our server, Steven, was attentive, charming & funny! We wish we had discovered this place earlier in our visit!
