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.

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!
We had an amazing dining experience at Portofino!
The historic building creates a beautiful, cozy atmosphere, but the food is the real star. The veggie pizza was perfect with a crisp, wood-fired crust & fresh toppings. The pesto pasta was also outstanding rich, incredibly flavorful, & perfectly cooked. The service was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend if you are looking for top-tier Italian food in the city!
Overall our direct interactions with the service was pleasant. The staff all seem to get along great but unfortunately their good time together greatly impeded ours. They had very loud boisterous conversation in the middle of the otherwise quiet restaurant. Their conversation was not overall what I would say to be appropriate either, with plenty of cursing & off hand remarks. The food took quite some time to get, & without many other customers it almost felt rude for them to all be out in the front of the house. When it came to the food, I found it be considerably lacking. We had the mushroom appetizer which was probably the best course of the diner. The margherita pizza was soggy, & while it did have fresh basil, it was mere slivers of it. I would say though it did taste like they at least use San Marzano's tomatoes throughout. Our lasagna was rather bland & disappointing, the sausage had no real bite to it & the sauce tasted of just tomato. It wasn't the worst Italian food I have had, but it certainly wasn't anything I would write home about.
Resto Italien avec four à bois.
Erreur de lecture du Pizzaiollo, ils ont du refaire la pizza !
le Staff du bar semble plus s'amuser que de travailler, les mouches a fruit envahissent le restaurant !
Quand le parton arrive vers midi, les souris arrêtent net de danser .
Pour l'avenir du resto, moins de barmaid le matin & plus de patron.
Coût plutôt élevé pour un lunch du midi & deux bières.
A wonderful restaurant to visit when you are in Quebec City. Nice atmosphere & well prepared food. We had shared pizza & pasta which came already split into 2 plates (loved the idea) portions a suitable. The place is a bit pricy yet worth it.
