I love Portofino's from the bottom of my big, last name ends in a vowel that's not an E, partially Italian heart. Their pizza, it is perfect. Not too doughy, not too much sauce, no weird flavors, not to greasy. Just delicious.
I hadn't tried their other dishes until yesterday though, and if the pasta puttanesca and pasta with garlic and broccoli are any indication I need to start working my way through their menu pants size by pants size.
This location may not be in the most inviting shopping center but it is close to my home and my office and I generally pick up my food to go so really I'm not worried (besides, the police are a few doors down in the same strip mall).
Portofino's straight up delivers the outstanding quality I demand if I'm going out for Italian and I thank it for doing so.
