Portofino - BRONX

The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance and the staff were friendly. Unfortunately, the lobster tail and shrimp were overcooked, and the fried calamari was chewy. The flavors of the food were lacking, which is why I’m giving this place two stars.

We just had my Fathers 90th birthday there this weekend, Mario was very nice and professional, when we sat down to go over the details he was very accommodating. Saturday the service and the food was outstanding. The servers were polite and attentive. The room was a nice size and very cool on what was a hot summer day. All in all I would highly recommend Portofinos. And it’s easy on and off the island.

The restaurant was extremely hot, as they had turned off the air conditioning. My sea breeze drink was diluted. After placing our order, we were informed that they were out of clams. When the food arrived, my fried mozzarella was drenched in sauce, seemingly to mask the fact that it was burnt. Overall, the prices are high for a disappointing experience. I definitely won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know.

I had an amazing experience! Tina and Val provided excellent service, and the food was delicious. Definitely sit on the deck!

We used a Groupon and enjoyed our own appetizers, a double Lobster ?Tail dinner , dessert and a bottle of Berlinger White Zinfandel wine. A wonderful, delicious meal.
