Great meal! I can't usually say that a restaurant matches my home cooking however this one did. One of my favourite dinners in Quebec City! Would highly recommend!

Pizza was very good & reasonably priced & perhaps more importantly in the very heart of Vieux-Québec. Highly recommended!

The cacio e pepe was beautifully balanced - rich in flavor, with a silky, peppery sauce that clung to perfectly al dente pasta. It celebrated simplicity in the best way: just a few high-quality ingredients, expertly prepared. Paired with a glass of red wine, the dish felt even more comforting & indulgent.

The atmosphere was incredibly calming, especially during lunch. It was quiet & relaxed - the kind of setting that invites you to slow down & really enjoy your food. The service mirrored that tone: attentive when needed, but never overbearing.

Portion sizes were a bit modest given the price, but understandable considering the authenticity & care behind the food. This is a place that prioritizes tradition, quality, & experience - & it absolutely delivers.

Fabulous food. We had a vegetarian wood fired pizza that had a marvelous assortment of vegetables, great crust & was very good. We also had the chicken cutlet entree that consisted of a large chicken cutlet parmigiana, linguine with lovely tomato sauce & an amazing assortment of vegetables. The meal was served with some delicious focaccia. The entire meal was truly five star. The service was attentive & polite. My French is terrible & the servers recognized my struggles & shifted to English without pause. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. The menu was comprehensive & had a lot of dishes to choose from. The value was great & for the quality of the meal was very well priced.

Fantastic place. You can smell the sauce the second you step in. Had the pitcher of sangria with our delicious dinner. Best sangria town. The owner is so friendly, asking everyone if all is good. A must go to in Quebec if you want an authentic Italian dinner. Will be back.

We came on a Saturday evening. It was very busy but we were seated after only a few minutes of waiting. Food was fabulous. Everyone ordered different dishes & all of them tasted absolutely delicious. Deep was our waiter & he was amazing! Helpful, very efficient, he's funny & seems happy doing what he does. We enjoyed it so much that we had to come back the next evening to try more dishes! Deep came to greet us & was so, so good again! Definitely recommend it!

Nous y étions venus en 2022 lors de notre premier voyage en amoureux & je me souviens y avoir mangé les meilleures pâtes de ma vie. Ça m'avait marqué, alors pour notre 7e anniversaire, nous avons décidé de faire la route & de manger à nouveau au Portofino.
Je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de commander les mêmes pâtes que la dernière fois, tandis que mon mari a pris la bavette cette fois. C'est aussi délicieux que dans mes souvenirs! Impeccable! Je ne peux pas me tarir d'éloges!
Le service est tout aussi exceptionnel. Jamais mon verre d'eau n'est resté vide & les plats sont arrivés rapidements.
L'ambiance est douce, romantique & agréable.
Sans nul doute, un restaurant qui mérite votre visite!
