I normally only get take out from here (which is always good!) but man was I pleasantly surprised when we actually went in to sit down and eat. We called ahead to put our name on the list since it seems to always be a popular choice, and ended up only waiting 10 minutes. Soooo... we got a glass of the Cabernet the bartender suggested- DELICIOUS!
For appetizers, we ordered the roasted red peppers and mozzarella and the "appetizer for 2" to share. A lot of food but full of flavor! I may add that their calamari is always a winner but we had to try something different for once :-)
For our entree, we split the chicken cacciatore that was served with a white wine sauce. Not sure if I'm wrong here, but I normally make this with a red wine marinara sauce. However, the sauce was absolutely delicious!!! A lot lighter than I typically expect but really good. (Even though we had to take majority of it home!)
Definitely get the house creamy basil dressing! Cant get enough of it.
I also want to add our server was really great. She was super patient with us taking a little extra time to order and splitting an entree. Also, I loved how attentive each and every staff member was to not only our table but each table individually.
Authentic food. Wonderfully sweet staff. And great family/date atmosphere! Great job Portofinos :-)
