My wife and I went here Saturday night for date night we ordered fried calamari it was excellent I had veal parmigiana made perfect my wife had veal Marsala she loved it we split tiramisu everything was excellent definitely will be coming back old school Italian made the way it's supposed to be.
Our first time here. I read the reviews prior. Clean, quiet and excellent service. It's as fine of an authentic Italian Ristorante as we have found in Surprise. Chianti wine, house brushcetta, simple green salad served nicely on a chilled plate. The husband had the portobello ravioli and I had the beef canelloni. Both were tender, well seasoned and delicious. Was this the finest meal we have ever had? No. But it was a good meal at a decent price with excellent service. We will definitely be back with friends! Give it a try!
We booked the back room for a Surprise Party for my husband, invited about 30 guests. The proprietors of Portofino West, are always so upbeat and accommodating.. allowed us in the room ahead of time to decorate it to the hilt. The service is always superb, and our server did a fantastic job of overseeing the entire group. Whenever we have a special event we know we can always count on PORTOFINO's to do an outstanding job. This is our NO.1, SHOWCASE restaurant!!!
Me and my husband live close by and have been wanting to come try this spot. I am so happy we did. It started off with complimentary brucetta very fresh, and the bread was soft. Then we got zuchinni, which was nice and thick, lightly coated. Then, we had a tomato basil soup made in house. I had the Lasagna my noodles were al dente had the crisp and the flavor was delish. My husband had the veal Parmigiano he loved it. For dessert, we had this deliciousness. I do not recall what, but the flavor was raspberry they buy locally, which I love. The service was amazing, the staff was great. The ambiance was cozy, clean, and perfect.
