Why did I wait so long to try this place? Admittedly, the location doesn't jump out at you. Portofino's is located in a strip mall off of Eastway Drive. The interior is small, but lovingly decorated in the Italian style. The music compliments the decor.
Our server was the nicest man! He said, " you look like a wine drinker," and offered me a sample of an Italian red that wasn't on the menu. So good, and it was only $6.00!
My friend got the pasta fagoli soup, and a pasta dish featuring salmon. I ordered the Gorgonzola tortellini minus the grilled chicken strips. Our meals came with bread and salads, featuring some if the tastiest blue cheese dressing. My plentiful dish was so good that I could have drunk the sauce if my manners were subpar. My leftovers were boxed, and my husband will have a special lunch tomorrow.
When we left, the entire staff said goodbye and thank you. It is so rare to have everyone smile at you. Southern hospitality Italian style!
