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.

Made a reservation but arrived early & they were able to seat us. We ate inside, which given the weather was fine. But outside would be lovely. The TV had the World Cup on, but it did not lead to a loud experience. We did have a cold down vent right over our table but perhaps it shut off, as I didn't notice it after a while. My husband was very happy with the beer selection. They had an extensive by-the-glass wine list & even more from which to choose if you wanted a whole bottle. We shared a burrata, which was excellent. Just the right amount of pesto & basalmic & a couple other tiny bits of sauces that were also good. My husband had veal & I had a goat cheese-stuffed pasta dish-a small serving, which after the burrata was the perfect size. We had planned on beaver tails for dessert elsewhere, so didn't try that here. Our waitress was wonderful. Friendly & attentive & very patient with my attempts to practice my French.

Amazing restaurant with authentic Italian flavors! My favorite dish is the Fettucine Aux Champignons-absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is fantastic, the service is excellent, & the staff are very welcoming. The prices are reasonable for the quality & generous portions. Highly recommend!

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 !

Inside is this wonderfully busy, vibrant italian feel restaurant! The staff (all of them) are engaged in the practice of making sure dinner guests are taken care of with a smile & lively interactions. Then comes the food. You will have to stop part way through & remind yourself you are in Quebec. This is especially true if you don't speak French or Italian because it just feels like you are away. Might be my new way of foreign travel....going to Quebec City! What a wonderful part of Canada. Eat here!
