This was my first experience at Portofino's and it was a good one. I was there with a large group from work. The service was friendly, informative & quick. We started with some apps., mozzarella sticks, calamari & bruschetta. All were top notch. The bruschetta was a little heavy on the garlic but this is an Italian place. I ordered one of the specials for the evening, surf & turf, Fillet mignon and shrimp over a tomato based risotto. The risotto was fantastic, nice & creamy. One of my co workers had the chicken parm which he said was tremendous. Next time, I'll stick to their specialties, pasta and pizza. I ordered the tiramisu for dessert. Nice presentation and really a great way to end a meal. I'll be back for another go at this place.
