| - My wife and I (along with two of our closest friends in Charlotte) went to Portofinos on Christmas Eve, for the very first time. We were craving Italian food, but didn't want a chain restaurant vibe and found ourselves here.
The dining area was nice and seemed inviting. Similar to the more authentic Italian places in the Washington, D.C. Area (where I'm from) the servers were a bit older, which was cool. Our server and food runners were very helpful an attentive, and gave excellent entree recommendations. The dining crowd that night consisted of mostly families and it was a lively bunch.
The meal came with salad and bread. Both of which were fine. My entree (chicken Portofino) first of all was pretty huge and excellent! I usually finish my entrees in restaurants, but I had to take it home. It was delicious that night and pretty darn delicious for lunch the next day too. The rest of our party enjoyed their meals as well.
We also found the meal to be very reasonable. Not pricey at all. So oversll, the food was great, the service was great, and the price was great. I cannot wait to take my parents there when they visit. In fact, I can't wait that long, I'll be back there very soon! :)
