| - Portovino is a lovely Italian 'ristorante' where the bread is served hot (read: gooey on the inside and toasty on the outside), meats and fish are brought table side for your choosing, and the pasta is so divine, that it would satisfy eve the most critical palates (seriously, have you ever met someone who wasn't impressed with the Duo di Mare dish?? A sprinkling of dill on a a giant scallop is the stuff of dreams).
The only con I can think of that denies this superb restaurant a perfect score is the service on weekends. They seemed understaffed the one time I visited on a Saturday night, resulting in very slow service, some plate mix-ups, etc. However, we were a big group, and the several times I've eaten here on weekdays and weeknights, I've had nothing short of a great experience.
In short, if you happen to have had a lovely day of shopping at Carrefour Laval and are feeling peckish - treat yourself to a fabulous meal at Portovino. And don't forget: "Portovino" translates as "Bring Wine"...so make a quick stop at the SAQ before dining!
