| - I was crushed when Portofino's in Mooresville closed down, because when I was working in the area, it was my definite go to spot for lunch. I was out & about today in the South Park area & just had to get my cheesesteak fix...& at the lunch price, no less!
I called my order in at 1:15 & was told it would be 15 minutes. I was at South Park Mall, when I called the order in, so I wasn't too far away. When I arrived at little before 1:30, my order was waiting for me. The restaurant was still a bit busy with the lunch crowd. I headed on to the back of the restaurant to pick up my order. It was neat to see a familiar face in one of the waiters. He had worked at the Mooresville location & of course remembered me as being a regular. :)
The man who rang my order up was very friendly. And of course, again, I was happy about receiving a seven-inch cheesesteak & a bag of Lay's plain chips for less than $7.
The restaurant is a decent size & as Jeff S. pointed out, it's "done up" in Italian style, as you would expect. They do have a separate bar area, that's set off from the main dining area.
When I got back to the house about 20 minutes later, the sandwich was still hot, thanks to being wrapped in aluminum foil. As hungry as I was, it didn't take much time for me to devour it. Ohhhhh, it tasted just as good as I remembered! Thin, chopped up steak, with melted cheesy yumminess, & nice sized mushrooms.
I'll definitely be back...
