Cafe Portofino - Boone

More of a diving bar than a café. The photo of the outdoor seating area does not really show that it is next to a parking lot in the center of downtown Boone. This is a more accurate picture of the mood. The Jalapeno-Poppers were completely burned, but to their credit they took them back and not for them.

The food was good. Large menu with many options, but consistent in style, taste etc. no random range. They took my reservation for 14 people only two days before the time, really appreciate it! We really had only 1 server for all of us, but they did to maintain a fantastic work. Everything was great, definitely recommended.

Great food with very diverse choices, really great furnishings with unique atmospheres, and wonderful service. My server, Claire, was very attentive, committed and just great. Had a great time!

Service was fantastic and food was good. This is the grownup Mac and cheese. The pasta sauce was a bit bland but the chicken on it was outstanding.

Absolutely delicious!!!! The Rasta Pasta is a must and the shrimp crostini special was amazing. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was good as well. Definitely will be back!
