Portofino Restaurant

I was on a date night with my fiancé. Food and service were phenomenal. Lobster was tender, well seasoned and very delicious. It was so appetizing I forgot to take a picture, I just went right in. Nice quiet romantic dinner, definitely enjoyed going there.

I celebrated 🍾 my 53rd Birthday here with my Babes ❤. I had an Amazing evening in your Beautiful romantic establishment. The food was excellent, and the service superb 👌🏾. Because we went on a Tuesday we practically had the place to ourselves and our dinig view of the sun setting on the water... made it even more amazing for me 😊!!! I would definitely go back there. Thank you

Went there for my anniversary and was very happy with the food and service as well as a great view. I initially was not happy with my entree, but my waiter immediately gave me the menu and I got something different and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

We had about 14 people in our group and the service was on point! The food was great they even made a dish not on the menu! Everyone who worked there where more then nice. It's worth the trip to City Island!

Run by a family who is passionate about good Italian food and giving out the best service. Love the outdoor seating and the ambiance. Food is always on point and seafood is extremely fresh. The servers made sure to make my kids laugh all the time. This place does not disappoint.

Amazing food and service ! Cappuccino was delicious too, and so was the wine. They also have live music after 11pm, and a lovely deck seating area out back. Will definitely come back!!

The food was delicious! Incredible view from the outdoor covered patio on the water! Family owned restaurant that makes you feel like you're part of the family! Can't wait to go back!

The staff here is really great, very very family oriented and welcoming. It's hard to find good service now and they really do an excellent job without also being overbearing. The food was divine and the atmosphere beautiful. Definitely recommend.

The outdoor seating situation at Portofino is lovey because you get great views of the water while you enjoy delicious food. The amount of food you get for the price is also awesome. I went with some friends and we all have leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. Yum!

Food was great and the fish tasted like it was just caught. Would come here again. The wait for the food was worth it.

This place has very delicious seafood such as fried calamari and mussels and crab and many more. They even have Italian dishes as well such as Chicken Parmigiano and ravioli. I recommend getting a table closer to the ocean view. I will definitely eat here again. The food was so good I ate most of it 😆😋

Top notch! My uncle and I decided to go here because of their Groupon discount and we would happily come back and pay full price next time.

We started off with some bread...a wonderful soft loaf with a thin and crunchy crust. The olive oil was infused with rosemary which was beautifully aromatic. Next was our hot antipasto appetizer accompanied by the Portofino Salad. YUMMMM! The dressing was light and clean and refreshing while the hot antipasto appetizer was savory and deep.

Our lobster tail and sirloin steak were as close to perfect as you can get....falling out of the shell and cutting like butter, respectively.

Then the dessert was a fantastically fluffy tirimisu accompanied by their homemade dessert drinks: grappa and lemon cello.

Everything was tipped off with this wonderful Merlot... Casa de Toro I believe.

Our evening at Portofino was amazing. The music was not too loud and our waiters: Val, Antonio, and Enis were on their game. Such a sweet and accommodating team. Honestly, I'd be alright having my wedding here. It was awesome!

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.

Food and atmosphere was amazing, will definitely return. The staff took great care if us
