on Citysearch May 29, 2009Great Local Authentic Date Restaurant The owner/host/waiter of portofino is one of the perks of the dining experience. He makes us feel like we're the only ones in the restaurant, and is incredibly knowledgeable... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 05, 2009I met a girlfriend at Portofino the other night to catch up on wedding plans. I was astounded by the food and service! Incredible! I live in John's Landing, she lives in Woodstock so Sellwood seemed like the perfect... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 15, 2009I loved this restaurant. My husband and I went for a special evening. Ambience was lovely and the food was divine. My wild mushroom fettucine with truffles was so good I wanted to roll around in it. Bruschetta with beef... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 24, 2008I'm baffled by some of the negative comments. I wasn't going to review this place (its busy enough as it is, so I wanted to keep it as "secret" as possible), but now I feel compelled to do so. THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC! I... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 04, 2008We live in Sellwood and have been going to Gino's for years, and everything has always been good. But the other night I decided to try Portofino out, again. We had been there a few years ago, and it wasn't very good, but I... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 03, 2008Seth and Chantal have brought us out of the Olive Garden doldrums into the up and coming explosion that is the Portland food scene. You do not have to be 'trendy' or expensive to be good. The entrees are infused with... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 24, 2008One of the most uncomfortable and disappointing dining experiences I've ever had. Our friend having dined here, with her toddler son before, was ecstatic to have found a restaurant that presented a quality product... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 23, 2008O.k. where to start? First off I should mention that I have never been so moved by the quality of my dining experience as to seek a public forum to promulgate what i have had the misfortune of experiencing. It may be worth... (more)

on Citysearch May 21, 2008My boyfriend and I went here for a special dinner and proceeded to have a FABULOUS meal. We first had the special bruschetta (there were artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes involved.) We also were pleased to see... (more)

on Citysearch May 07, 2008I've been to this restaurant many times with friends and it's always been wonderful. The people are friendly and attentive in a very genuine way, I never feel like they're being nice just to get a good tip. The food is... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 30, 2008Funny how all the bad ratings showed up at once. I thought the service was was terrific. They were considerate and attentive. The penne with wild mushrooms and shrimp were properly cooked al dente. Squash soup was... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 25, 2008This place seemed like it would be good from the outside but inside, it was a totally different story. My family and I went there for a birthday dinner and we were sat in the most awkward place. Seven of us were sat in the... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2008My mom, sister & I stopped in here last Saturday before 6pm. We had no reservations but were given a table with a reservation on it for much later so all was well. The gentleman was very pleasant, trying to accomodate our... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 22, 2008A regular since the new ownership took over a year ago, Portofino is definitely hitting its stride with Jorge, the new chef. Daily pasta specials trade on fresh ingredients. One recent Friday night featured spinach... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 18, 2008I brought the whole family (7 of us) there to celebrate 2 of the kids birthdays (BTW the kids are all in their 20's). The food was very disappointing--just a step up from the local pizza/italian restaurant but priced... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 13, 2008I planned a dinner at Portofino as a triple family birthday celebration on a recent Sunday night, and I couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. First of all, we had my 89 year old Grandmother with us, who... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 09, 2008Portofino came under new ownership in late 2007 and the new owners brought their chef with them from Colorado. Since then, Portofino has been returned to its former glory as a neighborhood treasure. My husband and I... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 06, 2008Went to Portofino on a Friday night, around 815. Was a cozy little place inside, not crowded at all though. Great service, great food. We both loved our dishes, I went with the seafood fra diavolo and my date had the... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 22, 2008This was our second visit to Portofino. We visit Portofino when we want a five star meal in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I have read several of the negative reviews about Portofino and I just don't understand what... (more)
