It was decent.

Tonight (Monday) was our first of 5 nights in Quebec City ahead of a cruise to Boston.

We decided to try Portofino. We made an online reservation for 7:30 pm. We arrived on time & waited maybe 5 minutes before being seated. All the outdoor tables were full so the two of us sat at a low 4-top inside not far from the kitchen.

Water was brought right away. Our server then took our drink, appetizer & entree orders.

We each had a pint of Stella beer on draft & we shared an order of their Focaccia bread, served with butter & a dish of olive oil & balsamic vinegar. The beer was cold & because it was draft, not from a green bottle, no skunk smell or taste :) The Focaccia bread isn't what we make in the States, but it was find. More of a soft, yet dense bread, topped with herbs. For $3 CAN, it was a deal.

Later on, the Casesar salad was brought out. It was a generous portion & was plenty for the two of us to split. The dressing was tasty as was the shaved Parmesan cheese & the house made croutons.

Later, our Cannelloni entree came. It was in an oval dish that had been baked. The full order came with 2 Cannellonis. Here again, plenty for two people to share. It was stuffed with a meat & cheese mixture.

We were too full to be tempted by their dessert menu.

Our friends arrive from the US in a couple of days, so we've made another reservation here at Portofino for the four of us.

The only downside to Portofino was that it is popular & busy, so it was a bit loud inside.

Ein italienisches Restaurant in Kanada. Kann das gut gehen? Nicht wirklich.
Am Anfang hatten wir als Vorspeise ein leckeres Brot (sie nannten das Focaccia, ist aber nicht) und frischen grünen Salat. Beides sehr gut und frisch.
Die Enttäuschung kam aber mit beiden Pasta Gerichten. Komplett überkochte Nudeln, die den Genuss verdorben haben.
Das Nachtisch haben wir uns danach nicht mehr getraut.

The seating was ok, though the wait time was noticeably longer than usual. Once the food arrived, it was excellent flavorful, fresh, & worth the wait. The overall atmosphere of the place was inviting & enjoyable, but the service could be improved with quicker attention & smoother coordination.

My wife had the Shrimp Linguini & I opted for the Pizza Americana. Both dishes were excellent, & we shared a little of our dishes with each other, & we both agree that they were very, very good. She even said'We should order another pizza to take home' 😋 Very good food from what we had.

the food was delicious! & the servers were helpful & attentive. after a longer wait for our child's meal, it was taken off the cheque & we were given extra bread. the food was delicious & the price was average. around the walls there are many formula 1 artefacts. it's definitely a restaurant i'd visit again
