Portofino Ristorante Italiano

excellent service, and very friendly staff no comparison to rivals

7 of us booked a table for my mum's birthday. The waiting staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful. But the best bit was when they sang happy birthday to my mum and carried a cake (that we'd bought and sneaked in) over to our table. She loved having a fuss made over her, and the whole experience was wonderful. It's already our go-to Italian, but we'll definitely make a point of returning sooner rather than later.

Welcomed on arrival. Drinks order taken within minutes. Polite and friendly staff. 6 great different types of mains and desserts. Clean toilets. Recommend a visit

Excellent food but the service was quite intrusive with waiters trying to clear dishes away before we had finished eating

Lovely staff. Great food.. nice atmosphere in. A lovely location

Celebrating our Anniversary. Great place and staff are so friendly

Fantastic meal, great service and real value Thankyou! Would highly recommend

Great restaurant, meal and service, well worth the money, thank you

Overall the experience was excellent. I've already been to PortoFino multiple times previous, but this booking was the best yet. The waiter and waitresses were always on hand and were attentative. The food came out quickly and it was delicious as well. We went for the full 3 courses and they all tasted amazing. Pricewise it's very reasonable as well. We will be back!

It was good food and really great service, thank you.

We had an amazing anniversary meal, the food was delicious and the staff are lovely. I'm certain we will be visiting again in the near future.
