This place serves great Italian food! Plenty of pasta choices and (from what I hear) great pizza as well. The portions are large enough that you'll want to take half of your dinner home (and quickly devour it the next evening!). It's kind of fills the same niche as the Olive Garden, but that's not really a fair comparison because Portofino's is more authentic and much tastier.
The service was impeccable. Drinks stayed refilled and everything was served exactly when expected. Our waiter was not only pleasant, but entertaining. He actually seemed to be enjoying his job (imagine that!). The place is small, but charming. I imagine they have the draw to fill a larger space, and that would certainly cut down on the wait for a table.
