First, Nicole, our server, was top notch, personable, answering all of our questions with a smile! My meal was fine. My only complaint and the one which will probably stop me from returning is that the rooms are very loud. We went with another couple and had a wide table. We had problems hearing each other. I wear hearing aids, but I turned them all the way down and it was still too loud to enjoy the ambiance.

Excellent staff!

Both meals were excellent. Our server was very attentive and the complimentary Lemonchello and cookie were a perfect touch.
February 29, 2020
Excellent service all around. Sat at bar for one cocktail while waiting for other member of my party. Amy was very engaging at the bar. Waiter- forget his name- also fantastic - very knowledgeable about all dishes. He said he hopes to run his own restaurant in future.

The lady at the door was exceptional. I didn't get her name, but she was great. We had to wait at the bar but she did not forget us. Our server Nick was very attentive to our table.
February 16, 2020
It was a delicious meal and to top it off after dessert we had a small glass of strawberry champagne served to us with a rose for each woman there was in the party which was a wonderful finishing touch to a wonderful evening

Seated rather quickly but wait staff seamed to forget about us. Took forever to get drinks, bread and food.
November 3, 2019
We have been here many times. This s the first time dissatisfied. Food was fine service lacking. Empty water glasses even after asked for more. Waiter never checked in with us. I did not get my bagged item of ufinnished food. Very disappointed. Not the level of service that I am used to from this restaurant.
October 7, 2019
the food was great, but the service was very poor.
September 15, 2019
We were very turned off by the drink service and quality. There was an honest mistake made with my drink which is totally understandable. The new drink served was not remade, it seemed that some was poured out and some more ingredients added back in. It still tasted completely off. Also, the remade drink was not a full drink. Not getting anywhere with that drink, I ordered a different one which was again filled low.

Asked to have them make a special meal Shrimp marinara. It was fresh, the shrimp were jumbo shrimp with lots of mozzarella! Excellent!
August 25, 2019
This was our first time Parents dine here often and provided a Restaurant certificate. Truly a great dinner can't say enough about the food and our server Amy. Dining outside was special for us. Great Evening.. Thank you Mom and Dad!!!

The service and food were great except for the Chicken Luigi. It was over cooked.

Attentive service and extra nice touches like a roasted garlic clove for your fresh, crusty Italian bread, and a complimentary lemoncillo sip with your check.

May 30, 2019
We went to Elizabeth's of Portofino to celebrate our 61st Anniversary and it was a memorable dinner. Told the gentleman showing us in that we were celebrating our 61st Anniversary. We had Calamari as an appetizer, baked stuffed sole with rice and green beans. It was so good! We ordered coffee and we were given a slice of dessert (Tiramisu I think) which was awesome. Then they the waitress brought over a glass of Lemoncello to cap off our dinner. The dessert and Lemoncello were compliments of the owner, who was the gentleman who had greeted us!! The waitress was so friendly and professional. Having the discount from Restaurant.com was a real plus even though the pricing was reasonable. We were so pleased with everything and plan to go back again, before our next Anniversary. My thanks to the owner for making it special for us.
May 28, 2019
Atmosphere was just right; classy, yet comfortable. The service was exceptional; Kelly and her helper were polite, friendly; and, genuinely engaged in making us feel welcome. The prime rib special was awesome. Generous portion and cooked as we requested. Since this was a birthday celebration, the birthday girl was offered complimentary dessert and both of us were treated to homemade limoncello. We look forward to making Elizabeth's Portofino a regular event on our calendar from now on.

Beginning with the appetizer our the temperature of our meals was overall cold. Our arancinis were cold and the rice on the inside was hard and out entrees were luke warm, wishing they came out super hot.
March 1, 2019

February 8, 2019
We always plan to dine at Elizabeth's Portofino before flying out of Providence. Food and service always top notch. My husbands filet was overcooked and they remade his entree cheerfully and apologetically and sent us out with a complimentary dessert. Can't wait to come again!

Great atmosphere, good food, waitress was very attentive. Highly recommend!
October 13, 2018
Everything was great! We loved the whole roasted garlic and fresh greatest cheese they give you with the bread and oil. Also the complimentary limoncello is always delightful! We had the baked stuffed shrimp and stuffed sole. Both were perfectly cooked and very flavorful. Justin was also great. I don't think 5-10 minutes went by without him checking to make sure we were all set.
October 7, 2018
Everything was fantastic from the atmosphere, to the service, to the prices and the food. Will definitely be returning.

Delicious bread, loved the classic clams casino. My husband’s veal parm looked crispy crusted and tender on the inside. I had delicious Pinot Grigio and Pacchieri special with rabe and white beans. The service was especially great at the bar.
September 15, 2018
Service was great and timely. The food was excellent and not overly priced. I had the veal Parmesan and my husband had the Tuscan Sausage and we both went home with leftovers. I also had a delicious glass of red sangria. Restaurant was clean comfortable seating. Definitely will be back.

August 29, 2018
The service was excellent! :) Just wished they have (more) options for vegans and/or people who have diet restrictions. There was only the one meatless pasta dish that was supposedly without egg/dairy (suspect because something in that dish, delicious regardless, did not "agree" with my stomach afterwards, eloquently put...) and the remaining choices were a garden salad and two small side dishes of sautéed vegetable (they were OK). I would go again if they expand their menu options.
August 28, 2018
Always a perfect experience, the food, atmosphere, along with the staff are why we continuously return.

August 18, 2018
It started out that we had 3 out of 6 dirty plates put on our table. the waiter apologized profusely and said it was because they had a new dishwasher. one person in our party got the special chicken with the Italian ham and the cheese with mushrooms on top the chicken was very gray and dry. Another person got the stuff sole which came out warm not hot. I got the baked stuffed shrimp and it was had flakes of shells in it.
August 12, 2018

May 23, 2018
While the food was very good, one of the waitresses tried to take our main meal away while we were still eating and the food was still warm. I guess she saw us taking a break from eating for a minute. There were plenty of open seats but all tables right next to each other were used (too close). It also got so loud in there we couldn't hear each other talk.
May 21, 2018
We are always very satisfied with our visits to Elizabeth's Portofino. Yesterday my meal was exceptional.
May 20, 2018
The garlic on table is great touch. The lemoncello at the end of meal was very nice. Very pleasant service and staff. The would have loved to use 2 certificates seeing we spend well over $200 bucks but it was still a pleasant experience.

April 2, 2018
The only down side was the table of 6 very loud women seated at the next table. Very distracting Perhaps an upgrade in the acoustics would help
March 26, 2018
The service was exceptional. We sat at a high top table in the bar area and the bartender had to wait on us even though she had other customers but she was very attentive.
March 12, 2018

First time eating here. The service was super friendly and the food extremely good and large portions--ended up over-ordering because we were unaware the portions would be so large (because the prices were very good so I expected smaller dishes) that we ended up with food to take home. But that was just an added bonus and we had it for lunch the next day :)

The food was excellent. Service was attentive Without hovering. There was a rather loud patron sitting by us and the waiter recognized this and they offered to buy us drinks which was unexpected but totally appreciated.
December 22, 2017
A full bowl of that delicious soup would have made a better first impression. Chicken Marsala was, as usual, very good, fairly priced and generous. Pasta side not so much for the RI diner, tho. Efficient but humorless waitress and tight parking.

November 26, 2017
Great food, service & atmosphere
November 20, 2017
Had a good experience, however we were surprised at how expensive our meal was. We had a ravioli dish, which was $28.00. $28.00 for a pasta dish?? Really ???
November 17, 2017
great service great food always consistent
November 9, 2017
The dinner was a special and quite pricey. The quality was poor. I called the next day because we are regular customers and spoke to the owner. I did not want to complain at dinner because it was very busy. The owner told me I shoukd have complained while having dinner and never really apologized or tried to do anything to want us to come back.
November 8, 2017
Elizabeth’s was excellent - not in my usual path of travel but very worth the trip!! Will definitely be back sooner rather than later.
November 7, 2017

After ordening my meal I noticed the couple seating next to me had a salad with there meal I asked the bartender if we get a salad she said only with the special I told her I did not know they had a special She said you have to asked for it K How can
October 30, 2017
Our server, Kelly, was excellent! The food was delicious, as usual. Enjoyed every minute! I did have a coupon from Restaurant.com but returned because the service and food is wonderful, not because of the coupon, but that does help!

October 12, 2017
The eggplant parm was over cooked.
October 11, 2017
Had to wait a while to be seated. There was a large party in the back room. so we were seated in the front room where the bar is. I don't like sitting in the bar area, TV and loud patrons seated at the bar .The tables are rather close together and there was a group behind us who were very loud. (even louder than the large party in the back room) It was difficult to have a conversation. Once they left the atmosphere improved. They offer beautiful bread served with seasoned olive oil and a surprise treat of a head of roasted garlic kept warm by a burner. Ordered the Margarita pizza which was mistakenly served with parsley rather than basil. We told our server who apologized, offered to redo the pizza and sent the owner over who also offered her apology as well as comping the pizza. Obviously Elizabeth cares deeply about the quality of her food. The complimentary shot of limoncello was an unexpected treat and quite refreshing .

had to wait awhile to be seated. A charming waitress kept coming over to tell us that Elizabeth would be there shortly. sat in alcove in front section. There were several large parties who were quite loud so it was a bit distracting. Table settings were lovely. Our waitress, Diana was great. It was her first day on the job and she was and excellent server. Bread , olive oil and roasted garlic were a wonderful surprise. Once the large party left it was much better to hear each other speak. I wish there was a bit more room between the tables.
October 10, 2017
I would highly recommend Elizabeth's Portofino's restaurant.

A little disappointed in the scallop dinner special for 28.00 with only 3 average one, rice and green beans,a filet would of been a better choice...left hungry.
August 20, 2017
Our overall experience was great. We were seated promptly and Sean, our waiter, was fantastic. Our meals were good and the little extras like the biscotti with coffee and the shot of limoncello at the end of the meal were wonderful.

August 12, 2017
The food was tasty, although I got the baked stuffed Sole, the stuffing was delicious but the fish tasted undercooked. It came with two helpings and both were slightly undercooked. I brought the second one home and cooked in the oven and it was delicious

Was recently renovated-looks amazing-wait staff was very efficient, personable and stuffed sole was delicious
June 17, 2017
So, here's the thing, the mozzarella rounds were absolutely delicious, and the first piece of my chicken parm was divine as well, but then I got to my second piece and it was literally like rubber. So much so that it made me gag mid-chew (really sensitive to strange food textures. It was clearly a VERY old piece of chicken thrown in with my other fresh one. I am not one to send food back, but I sincerely wanted to as I spent a hefty price on this meal and didn't get to eat a large chunk of it. So if both were fresh, this would have gotten a great rating.
June 15, 2017
I never had a bad meal or experience here. The atmosphere makes me feel like I am eating in a resturant in Italy
June 15, 2017
Spot on as usual
June 13, 2017
We sat on the deck on a warm evening and shared a calamari appetizer (gluten free) that was tasty and tender. I had the veal parm with penne and my wife had veal saltimboca which were scrumptious and satisfying. We finished off with chocolate lava cake. It is still the best I've had in a restaurant. We would highly recommend this restaurant for the food and also for the friendly and attentive service.
June 9, 2017
Kelly are waitress was great along with her side kick David ! Only problem was they only give a mouth full of pasta with the chicken parm??
June 6, 2017

Food was good. Needed more help when it was busy. I never saw a restaurant so cheap with the pasta that comes with your meal. At 0.69 cent a pound give me a portion not 20-30 pieces.
May 4, 2017
Steve and team were excellent.
May 4, 2017
Service was good. Food was disappointing. Seafood pasta was 26$. Consisted of 1 shrimp, 3 clams, cheap bay scallops and calamari. Definitely not wrk 26$
May 4, 2017
The food is incredible!
May 4, 2017
We were treated very well by our waiter. The food is DELICIOUS. We live a distance away from Elizabeth's so we do not get there often. If we lived closer, we would probably be regulars.
May 4, 2017
WE usually dine at Elizabeth's every other month and our experiences have always been wonderful. from Servers to food presentation. Also of note we have also dined at Elizabeth's without the Restaurant.com certificate. Truly a great a Great Restaurant. GG East Providence
January 21, 2017
It was a very busy night when I ate there. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very busy especially for a Friday night. So she wasn't as attentive. The 2 couples sitting next to me were offered bread. I wasn't until I had to ask for it. My glass of water wasn't even refilled until after I finished eating.
January 12, 2017
Service is always great. Staff and owner make you feel like family.
December 22, 2016

October 24, 2016
Good meal, good service, but if the restaurant owners read this, you should know that the microwave in full view of the diners being used to warm up the roasted garlic is incredibly tacky and certainly detracts from the ambiance.
October 22, 2016
Great food, attentive service and prices are on point

Three dinners were excellent, but one veal parm was very tough/ Not enjoyable
October 7, 2016
We have been eating here for years and really enjoy the food but the service has been going down over the past couple of years which is very disappointing. Our table is not attended to infrequent water refills and check-ins and the food takes a very long time 2 arrive.
October 6, 2016
Our party of 7 was celebrating 2 birthdays and 1 anniversary. When I arrived I provided the info to our server and at the end of the meal each person was presented with a piece of cake on a plate with their names and the celebration. Waite staff was wonderful as was the food.

Salmon and jasmine rice were exceptional; everyone else had veal parm/chix parm/ and a veal dish. ALl were very satisfied. The only negative comment was that the side of pasta was measly; other than that, great.

As always, the food was excellent. The restaurant had completed a make-over since we had been there last and it was aesthetically very pretty with warm browns and creams. We always enjoy this restaurant.
September 17, 2016
The food was great...the waitress was awesome, the restaurant is beautiful and the owner was priceless!!
September 12, 2016
Quiet intimate setting with excellent professional servers. Clams casino appetizer consisted of six tiny, but tasty hard shell clams with a chourico stuffing. Main entree of pescadore had an intriguing description, but was presented with just one shrimp and very small amounts of calamari and tiny scallops. Definitely not worth the price of $26. Lasagna, on the other hand, was a very good size portion, well prepared and a great value for the $15 price. Complimentary limoncello shots after dinner was a surprising and welcome touch.
September 9, 2016
Vea parm was nicely done.l thin slices cooked o perfection
August 30, 2016

Pleasant dining room. Hosting and wait staff friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Menu selections were explained well. The food quality was fine. Two of our group had the stuffed sole. Seafood stuffing was plentiful and quite tasty. The other main course was salmon tips on risotto. Also excellent. Green beans served were very good...not soft...slightly firm...just right. We did not desire dessert but the offerings looked quite interesting! This is a nice local restaurant and well worth a visit if you nave not been before... and also worth a return!
July 25, 2016
The food is always delicious and Elizabeth is always welcoming! Love the atmosphere - not noisy. You can have a conversation!

We had 2 toddlers and a baby and they're very accommodating. Parking is a nightmare and valet had 1 person working so it was awful. No place to self park.
March 10, 2016
Brandon was our waiter, he was very professional,the decor was that of a Italian Rustic Grille. If you did not look out the windows, you would think you was Tuscany...no really.

Food here is always delicious. We found that our server was originally attentive, however, she did not check to see how our entrees were, and also did not return while we were eating our entrees to refill our empty drinks.
January 16, 2016
Seated quickly, the server was great, and the food was great also.
January 6, 2016
The service and the food were excellent. I love this restaurant.
January 2, 2016
Steak sent back twice, not cooked properly. Fried ravioli soggy and drowned in sauce, no compound butters served on 2 steaks. Salad dressing was minimal at best. Ribeye steak had A LOT of fat. Manager NEVER came around to check on anyone and after the steak was presented 3 times, was never taken off the bill!!
December 20, 2015
Pasta was cold and the veal was dry
December 19, 2015

Very cozy and romantic. Perfect for "date night". Food was very good. We had the Calamari for appetizer and chicken parmesan and chicken with linguine for our entrees and everything was to our liking. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I would return.
November 17, 2015
great service & food
October 26, 2015
The host was un-friendly.. Not a smile to be had. The waitress was very nice.. Polite and attentive. The food was so so. We ordered both appetizers and entrees. The clams casino was on the mushy side, the calamari seems to be the frozen quality, the veal Marsala was chewy and the chicken pacatta was taste more like heavy egg and very heavy lemon.. The flavors were severe especially in the lemon... And I adore lemon. We will go back one more time in the future and give their Italian dishes a try... But if that flops also then we won't be going back.
October 12, 2015
Our server sat night was spot on. Very attentive. The calamari was one of the best we have had. Our entree was excellent also. I have recommended this restaurant to my friends. We will be back soon.
October 11, 2015
My son and wife just loved the food. I thought the $10 salad was small.

August 16, 2015
What a great place! Love dining outside so we sat on the outside back patio. We were served complimentary roasted garlic, fresh bread and olive oil. Our dinners were wonderful, both cooked to perfection, and the service was A+. Our waiter David was the perfect combination of conscientious service, attentive, good humor and most pleasant. Inside atmosphere is sophisticated and comfortable decor. When we were leaving there was a female vocalist for the inside diners. At the end of diner we were given complimentary Lemoncello. First time there, would go back again, and recommend it highly. It was all good.

July 12, 2015
The food was excellent -- very fresh and nicely prepared. Atmosphere was lovely out on the back deck on a beautiful night. Drawback: noisy from air traffic above and sirens from main road, but still nice.

Nice night to enjoy dining on the patio with a view of the lake and beautiful flowers. Excellent service & delicious meals made for an enjoyable evening.
June 16, 2015
Great food., at reasonable prices. Loved the roasted garlic with oil and bread.
June 11, 2015
food is great!! service a little slow
June 9, 2015
Great atmosphere, attentive service, all was excellent. Was almost as good as eating in a restaurant in Portofino, Italy. Food was outstanding and half orders allow you to sample more dishes.
June 3, 2015
Waitress/bartender was very helpful and pleasant The food is awesome
May 30, 2015
The only thing that could have made the dining experience better, would be if the outdoor patio had a nicer choice of music. A little too much rap/hip hop type of music was playing.
May 29, 2015
We found the waitress and owner very accommodating during our experience. It was the second time I had scallops and they were once again excellent.
May 24, 2015
Very Delicious. Romantic dinning room. Had Asian Stir Fry, out of this world, Husband had Diver Scallops which he loved. Really a gem!
May 19, 2015

The wait for our entree was long, they said they had big parties??
May 14, 2015
service is very good and the food is always excellent
May 10, 2015
Checked out web site, place looked nice and vintage Italian .seating didn't look over crowed with nice ambiance. made reservations based on what we saw and read. when we arrived we were escorted through a hallway that served as a waitress and serving station to another building. it turned out to be a dessert BAR. not what we were expecting. the seats were very uncomfortable and at least 6 to 10 inches to low to the table. my wife who is 5'4" could not bring her drink to her lips direct from the table as it was over her forehead. she had to bring the glass off the table to the side and then bring back in between table and herself to drink, and then reverse to put it back onto table. the food was good, a little on the cold side and not quite timely at all. the best part of the evening was our waitress. even though she was spread quite thin,only one serving this room. she was very professional, well versed in the food she was serving, quite pleased with her genuine interest in making our visit a pleasant one. Not saying I wouldn't try again, but definitely would be quite insistant that i would be eating in the dinning room I was led to believe I would be. NOT a Deseret bar. (server Heather)
May 10, 2015
Lovely atmosphere, wonderful menu, and very pleasant wait staff. I visited on Mother's Day; after the meal we were each given a long stemmed rose, a fresh pizzelle dusted with powdered sugar, and a shot of lemoncello.
May 10, 2015
Waitress was very attentive but not over bearing. She made our dining experience perfect!
May 6, 2015

April 19, 2015
Very good except for fish entree, too dry and overdone.
April 19, 2015
Very nice setting. This was our sencond time here, the first visit was on New Years Eve. Both my husband and I enjoyed our food more on our first visit. We both found what we had tasteless. I was eager to come back after New Years Eve, now not so much.
April 16, 2015
There were many choices of items to choose from. The meal was delicious and the service was very good. We will be sure to go there again soon.
April 14, 2015
fantastic! Best chicken francaise ever!!! Great atmosphere - perfect service!
April 13, 2015

April 11, 2015
Great ambiance. Great service. Loved Samantha our waitress.
April 10, 2015

March 31, 2015
service was slow and inattentive meal was overcooked and dry and tasteless very dissappointed
March 28, 2015
it took an inordinate amount of time to seat me and my dining partner for no apparent reason. i plan on speaking with the owner personally. i felt it could be racial.
March 26, 2015
Excellent restaurant, one of the best.
March 22, 2015
Great food and wonderful bartender.
March 22, 2015
i had the veal portofina which seemed a little overcooked.
March 22, 2015
food was cold & tasteless...portions tiny....like 12 pieces of pasta in a side dish......thick veal....thought it was chicken..desert was disappointing & skimpy w/ no substance..Waitress & atmosphere were only redeeming qualities....Would NOT return except I have another coupon & I'm dreading the night I will have to use it !!
March 12, 2015
We enjoyed our dinners but thought a salad or cup of soup should have been included, considering the price of the entrees.
March 10, 2015
Excellent service and food! Never feel rushed and very attentive waiter. Great night out.
March 9, 2015
The only thing wrong there is the portions are very very small.

February 27, 2015
the service was good. Its a nice pleasant place.
February 27, 2015
The server was very pleasant and attentive. The only disappointment was the amount of food for the cost. My husband order the special ravioli. When the bowl arrived there were 3 or 4 medium size raviolis. He left still hungry. His dinner was over-priced ($22.00).
February 26, 2015
Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, the staff is always professional and the management is great!
February 22, 2015
Try the Chicken Francais! Delicious! And we had enough left over for a second meal the next night!

We both ordered the Special that night. Bread is always great and the wait staff is always attentive. The owner always comes by to check up on you too!
March 30, 2014
Service was fine , but appetizers were either overcooked to cold. All entrees were good but the dessert left much to be desired.
March 26, 2014
Margarita pizza appetizer, baked stuff shrimp and Baileys Irish cream cheesecake were wonderful.
March 25, 2014
The sole special was just ok. It tasted too fishy and one of my servings seemed like it was sitting around for a while and dried out.
March 22, 2014
Free kids meals is a great idea.
March 16, 2014
The service was excellent. The entire staff worked together to make sure every customer was taken care of. I was impressed by the attention to detail....the hostess noticed a candle was out on our table and within a minute or two the waitress and a busboy (?) either noticed the same, or was happy to oblige the hostess. Two wait-staff handled the entire dining room with no problem.
March 16, 2014
The wait to be seated seemed long, even though the dining room wasn't full. Once we were at a table, however, the food and service were great. The extra touches were very nice.
March 16, 2014

March 11, 2014
The staff were dressed in sweat clothing, scuffling around at a snail's pace. The food was cold, bland, and just lousy! Never again!!
March 11, 2014
The only vegetarian options were pasta with a sauce; nothing special. The desserts were disappointing.
March 11, 2014
Great Food
March 7, 2014
Wonderful restaurant, great food, great staff, will go back in the future.
January 27, 2014

January 25, 2014
The food and service were both excellent!
January 25, 2014

Would have liked to have been able to hang our coats rather than place them on a chair
January 21, 2014
The food and service was excellent. One of the best veal chops I have ever had!
January 20, 2014
Fabulous veal chopowner came around personally

January 14, 2014
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food delicious, the wait staff eager to please and the owner, Elizabeth personally welcomes every guest when entering and visits the table to make sure you are satisfy. Whether you order dessert or not, your meal is ended with a complimentary Pizzelle cookie and cordial of homemade Limoncello. A nice touch and way to show thanks for your patronage.
January 13, 2014
Waitress was excellent and the food was very good. The only comment would be to use better quality tomatoes in the caprese salad.
January 11, 2014
Baked stuff shrimp stuffing very dry onther person's apple chicken very dry
January 8, 2014
The food is great and the service is better !!!!
January 7, 2014
Found that the tables for 2 were too close together for our liking, other than that very satisfied.
January 6, 2014
Portions were small and prices a bit high. Entree didn't come with salad or soup and only came with potato no veggie. Food was very good but again portions small and prices high.
December 31, 2013
The atmosphere, food and service were great!
December 30, 2013

December 22, 2013
our waitress as well as the hostess was very attentive to us. We never felt rushed and it was great because we were with people we needed to catch up with.
December 17, 2013
I love this restaurant, have been going there for several years. It is small and intimate. The service is excellent. The food is always good. I love all the little added touches, like the biscotti with coffee, the pizella's and lemoncello brought with your check. I highly recommend this little gem for a special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself. Can't wait to go back.
December 9, 2013
Everything from service to food was excellent!

This was our first time in many years. We loved everything from start to finish. Our waiter Mike was excellent and it only got better from there. We really enjoyed the limoncello and Pizzelle. We thought that was nice touch. We go out to dinner with 4 other couples and I already told them that this will be our next stop.
November 18, 2013
We had a party of six and everyone truly enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

October 31, 2013

October 28, 2013
The food is always delicious an unique to Portofino. The wait staff was polite and attentive.

October 22, 2013
Food was very good, and Do-Rae-Me the waitress was wonderful!
October 16, 2013
Food came out so quickly that you knew it had been prepared well in advance. The pasta and all the food was only warm . The fish had skin left on it not tasty at all. Waiter was very inattentive not filling water glasses etc
October 15, 2013
The food and the service was excellent.
October 11, 2013
it was cozy in there. a little too warm temperature wise but welcoming. the waitor was a bit on the gruff side but the food was excellent and he was pretty attentive but just aloof. chairs need cushions that is what I would suggest, very hard wood chairs. it was a nice place. We would go back. Oh yeah, they had a nice bar with cushy seats...
October 6, 2013
The server Carl was great. Just a very pleasant experience.
October 3, 2013
Veal Parmesan portion seemed to be smaller than normal.
September 30, 2013
My wife and I went in with our one year old son and we all had a great time. He loved the butternut squash raviolis and loved playing peekaboo with the waitress. The owner was also very courteous towards our family. We will be back!
September 30, 2013
Good quality, and taste. Enjoyable atmosphere.
September 30, 2013
The best Italian seafood dishes around good service and in the formal dinning room great atmosphere and thanks for the lemenchello and pizzells
September 25, 2013
Hostess talking when we walked in, not sure where to check it. Garlic for bread was weird. Drinks took forever! Restaurant was hot inside.
September 24, 2013
Disappointed that my guest who is like many on a diet asked for veggie rather than rice and was told the kitchen was too busy to be asked to do substitutes. That left me very upset. I and many of my guests have been in the business for years and this was very easy to accommodate. Also restaurant very dark and atmosphere old
September 16, 2013
my only complaint, which I expressed to waiter, was that this establishment is not for the 20's crowd, but rather a much more mature clientle then why in gods world did they have RAP music piped in? no effect.... it continued!!Where was the 'Mature" management???
September 15, 2013
Lemoncello homemade and delicious! Pizzelle and biscotti very nice. Good calamari and entres! Yum.
September 8, 2013
It was very good and beautiful setting. I will go more often.
September 3, 2013
The service was excellent as was the food. I'll definately make this a place to visit often.
September 3, 2013
Great service, friendly and very knowledgable concerning choices of food ordered
September 3, 2013
The atmosphere was wonderful! The sole picatta was excellent, but the alfredo was only so so. The sangria was tasty, but weak. Our waiter, Mike, was as wonderful as previous diners said--he's a keeper!
September 1, 2013
Food is always excellent!
August 20, 2013
Waitstaff could have been more attentive, especially since it wasn't busy. We had to flag a busboy to finally pay and leave. I had the veal Portofino- small overcooked pieces that were a bit chewy. The wine list could be expanded- nice ambiance but nothing other than a coupon to lure me back. My guest enjoyed her entree.
August 19, 2013
Nice atmosphere. Quiet music playing in lounge.

August 7, 2013
We were able to get a reservation in the cafe, which was a little loud. They had a small wedding going on in the dining room. Next time we will try to get a table in the dining room.

June 17, 2013
Having visited Portofino's many times over the past few years, we thoroughly enjoy dining there on a Saturday night, usually once a month. On this visit, 6/15/13, we started with the their Minnestrone soup, and as I told Evelyn, the owner, of Portofino's, it was one of the best, if not the very Best Minestrone soup, that we've ever had at any restaurant, congrats to their soup chef. Dinner was also very good, my wife had the Baked Stuffed Shrimp, which was terrific, while I had the Pescatore, again always very good. We will continued to dine at Portofino's in the future, as it's always a great place to have a very Nice Saturday night dinner. BTW, our server was Dore', very professional, pleasant, and helpful.
June 16, 2013
sat outside on the patio. table leg was VERY broken which customer determined. singer inside prevented us from wanting to sit inside. our waiter justin set the pace for an unpleasant meal. we waited 15 minutes for our bottle of wine prior to eating. we had to ask for bread, then more oil. the heated garlic provided for complementing the bread never stayed lit and we were told not to worry about it. the veal was very dry. the kitchen door was open to the patio and it showed a view of an old rusted freezer as well as certain habits of the kitchen crew.
June 6, 2013
excellent food and atmosphere great service
June 6, 2013
The service and atmosphere were lovely
June 6, 2013
First time and it was very nice experience. Look forward to going there again
June 6, 2013
We were given the menu and after a few minutes decided what we would like to order. After we told our server what we would like, he replied that the price of meal we ordered were $4.00 more than the price listed on the menu because they did not have the time to adjust the menu to the new prices.
May 30, 2013
Portofino is our favorite restaurant. The food is always excellent. The servers are great. This is a great restaurant for a nice relaxing dinner.

May 22, 2013
The veal marsala was very good but the sirloin was grizzley, the potato and vegtable were good.
May 22, 2013
Our waiter Justin welcomed us to the restaurant. While eating the host visited with us to check on things and discovered it was our first visit. We were invited to checkout the new deck for dininig outside after our dinner. The meal was delicious and portions were appropriately sized. We enjoyed a complimentary after dinner drink and a type of pastry. I believe the drink wasa home made brew. My wife and I left with a very positive impression. we look forward to returning soon.
May 22, 2013
Excellent food and excellent service by our waiter Justin.
May 22, 2013
The staff is very personable and professional at the same time. very accommodating.
May 17, 2013
The waitress named Doerae is fantastic.
May 17, 2013
both veal marsala and veal saltimbocca were very bland...little or no marsala in the sauce....saltimbocca tasted like it used dry sage rather than fresh...sauce was glutinous and tasted mostly of beef bulllion. Clamari appetizer was good....creme brulee dessert was excellent. Our waitress was a joy despite being a little overworked....looked like there were only two waitresses and one waiter serving a very large crowd. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing...other diners seemed to be enjoying their meals.
May 11, 2013
great food good service and made a good drink
May 9, 2013

It would have been excellent, except for the noise coming from the floor above - dance studio. It really didn't bother us because it was during the week and we were eating and running out, but if we were there with guests, it could have been annoying.
May 5, 2013
Portions, prices, service and quality was all very good.
May 5, 2013
our server was sociable and helpfull. great atmosphere
May 4, 2013
The food was excellent and the service was also. I would return in a minute.
April 27, 2013
Too expensive
April 27, 2013
Nice extra touches that you don't see too often like:Warm olive oil and fresh grated cheese and black pepper for warm delicous breadCeasar was fabulous with thick and abundant shaved hard italian cheeseGenerous serving of wine
April 26, 2013
The food was amazing - as good as anything on Federal Hill or New York's Little Italy. Large servings, good service, and great flavor.
April 26, 2013
The food was good but the service was dreadful! There was a party in the adjacent room and they got the service. We waited about 45 minutes from when we finshed our salad to being served our entree.
April 26, 2013
As always the food is consistant, as is the staff. We really enjoy this restaurant!
April 26, 2013
We actually ate at the bar. The bartender was very helpful with explaining the different menu choices. The best drink I have had in a long time. The food was excellent.
April 26, 2013
Always FABULOUS !
April 16, 2013
the food was well prepared and delicious
April 15, 2013
The server was very peasant
April 15, 2013
the food was great, the service was great we wern't rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy our meal.
April 13, 2013
Great service. Good food. Affordable wine selection.
April 5, 2013
Everything was excellent. The atmosphere, the waiter, the food. The ending. . ..lemon chelo(?) We will definitely be back!!!
March 23, 2013
We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Portofino. My wife loves the Italian Nachos and that is the reason we went. Unfortunately, they were burnt this time and had some kind of sauce on them. Waiter took them back and brought another order out and it was still burnt. My wife's Eggplant was overdone as well and the creme brule was cold. I don't know if they have new kitchen staff, but it fell short of our typical expectations. We WILL go back because we don't judge on a single visit, but we hope it is better next time. BTW, the waiter, Matt, was exceptional.
March 18, 2013
Could not have been more attentive.
March 17, 2013
The food here is always good. A couple of things they should change,They were understaffed for the people they had on a Saturday night.2 waiters 1 bus girl.I counted 30 to 36 people at any given time. The dinning room is to small for all those people.Either enlarge or cut back on the seating.You should not have to sit closer than 4ft from patrons. I don't want to be part of someones conversation. Other than that it was a good experience. It will be a while before we go back due to those two negative encounters. Rhode Island has some of the best resturants that we can go to and not have to deal with that.
March 17, 2013
The dining room was VERy cramped, servers and other diners kept bumping into our table and chairs. Several times I spilled some of my drink on myself. The wonderful service truly offset the frustration. There is TOO MUCH "tuff" on the table. Fake flowers? NO EXCUSE, get rid of them!!!
March 17, 2013
Service and food were excellent. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We will definitely be returning.
March 16, 2013
Very nice serving portions. Food was served fresh and quickly. Server allowed substitutions. Tea and coffee with the meal came with a sweet touch- a piece of biscotti- what a nice surprise!Delicious food and experience. Will come again soon.
March 14, 2013
great food and prompt service
March 14, 2013
the place was jammed took a while and the kitchen was slow only to be expected but the food was great
March 14, 2013
The food was fabulous as well as the service. Also there was a singer there that really added to the atmosphere.
March 9, 2013
Quaint ambiance. Food is Always good or very good and the extra touches lend a bit of elegance to the evening. Warwicks own touch of Federal Hill.
March 7, 2013
great service, friendly comfortable atmosphere
March 7, 2013
I was surprised that the vegetables were separate & had to pay for them.
February 26, 2013
Get there early...it gets really busy after 6pm. Parking is a problem. We got there arount 5pm which was perfect.
February 26, 2013
The server, Justin, was very attentive to our every need.
February 25, 2013
Seared scallops with risotto were so tender and risotto was awesome! Love the warm bread with the entire bulb of garlic! Yum.
February 25, 2013
a few lapses (chewy and expensive veal chop)didn't offset a generally pleasant experience made affordable with the gift card.
February 19, 2013
Olive oil for dipping w/bread...didn't care for.. Bland. Roasted garlic spread...dry. Soup of the day.. Very good! Appetizer (Clams Portofino)..were a lil' chewy. Not as tender as I would have hoped. Both our meals (specials, filet of sole and Filet mignon)..very good! Waiter was very good. However, we should have called for reservations. We went on Sunday night following Valentines Day. Waiter got hit w/multiple parties at once. Was a lil' chaotic at first. However, recovered well! Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and experience. Thank you~
February 19, 2013
The atmosphere was nice, the waiter was great and the food was delicious!
February 18, 2013
I particularly enjoy the half size appetizers and entrees offered here. It allows me to sample more items on the menu.
February 18, 2013
The food was delicious. The restaurant itself is very nice and nicely decorated, but the table we were seated at just wasn't comfortable. It felt like the table we were at was just squeeze in to make room to accommodate the amount of people waiting. We had made reservations anticipating it would be crowded, which it was. We got seated quickly but our table was very tiny and it was at the edge of a wall where half of the table was sticking out into the walkway right were the coat room was. We got bumped into a few times and it was distracting and we felt we were in the way of whoever was walking by or getting their coats. Also, it was very drafty and cold. Because we had made a reservation, we would have expected a better table. We would have rather waited the extra time for a regular table rather than sit in a table that was squeezed in. It definitely took away from what I am sure would have been a very good dining experience if we were at one of the other tables. One other thing we noticed which is easy to over look unless you are sitting for a while, is we noticed the vents near the ceiling needed cleaning and right above our table there were cob webs.Other than that, the restaurant was very clean. But as I said, the food was excellent and the wait person was very nice.
February 18, 2013
always pleasant and friendly staff and very accommodating.
February 18, 2013
Dorae was an awesome waitress
February 17, 2013
Becca was a great Server and the atmosphere was inviting. Menu selection was good.
February 17, 2013
Our server Doraee was wonderful - she took back my undercooked scallops ~ unfortunately my husband had almost finished his entree by then. It wasn't her fault ~ the kitchen had been told I wanted them well-done.
February 17, 2013
Our waitress was excellent...very welcoming and friendly and offered great suggestions on the menu when asked.
February 17, 2013
Friendly staff, excellent veal parm, nice quiet atmosphere, plus complimentary pizelles and limoncello to finish the meal!
February 16, 2013
We felt it was overpriced for what we ate ~ my scallops were cold in the middle even though I requested them to be 'well done'. My husband finished his entree before my food came back out.
February 16, 2013
the food was wel prepared, flavorful and satisfying. The service was excellent and the chef accommodated my wife's gluten free requirement.
February 16, 2013
Waitstaff and food was excellent. Very attentive to any needs.
February 16, 2013
The service was lousy we had to ask for bread and garlic, asked for we waited long time had to ask a second time their was a microwave that keep beeping in dining area should have been in the kitchen it was very annoying to keep hearing it.Food was fantastic though.
February 16, 2013
Very relaxed professional not hurried
February 16, 2013
I have been there twice, both times I was over charged for the food. Will not go back.
February 16, 2013
Food was fabulous as well as the atmosphere.
February 11, 2013
music was a bit loud in lounge area glad we were seated in the dining room
February 11, 2013
Excellent food and wonderful servers and atmosphere!
February 11, 2013
The food is the best around, parking is terrible, They really should put More lighting, since it is hard to read the menu e and when there is a special, I think the server should give the $ amount. We had a fabulous waitress.
February 11, 2013
Entire experience was enjoyable. Will definitely recommend to others
February 11, 2013
The food was very good and we liked our waiter alot, but service was spotty and not sure if it was because waiter had too many tables seated at same time or if kitchen and/or bar were behind or combination of both. The bread basket was lacking in bread. We got four very tiny pieces. We got the spinach salad, which was good although it looked like it was thrown together in 30 seconds and the salad dressing was an odd consistency, almost solid which is not usual for balsamic vinaigrette. Our meals were very good, the Lobster Ravioli and the Sirloin Steak special under the Gluten-Free menu. We ordered the baileys irish cream cheesecake for dessert which was awesome as well as after dinner drinks. We thought they would be brought out together which is usual, but the drinks came to our table a solid 5 minutes or so after our dessert was served and my espressotini seemed to have more espresso than alcohol so not worth the ten dollars paid. I guess we neglected to read the fine print that added a 20% gratuity. We would not have left this amount for this particular evening. More like 18%. We were annoyed but nothing we could do at that point. The music in the lounge/bar area was not appropriate for the restaurant. A lady singing 70s and 80s music is not ideal for an Italian type restaurant. I was turned off by it as soon as we walked in the door. It was extremely loud. I was thankful to be seated in the back room. A few minor changes and this could be a really great place, but I hesitate to eat there again.
January 28, 2013
The waitstaff lead by Justin was very attentive. Our water glasses were never empty and we neevr ran out of bread. Justin made very good suggestions and was very patient with us being unable to decide what to order.
January 28, 2013
Had to ask for bread 3 times because everytime they took it to the table there was 2 tiny pieces. Roasted garlic wasn't cooked enough. Wine was way over priced. Atmosphere was nice. Even after using the $25 certificate we had it still cost us $80. Definitely was not worth it.
January 28, 2013
Excellent antipasto, caprese salad and eggplant rollatini.
January 28, 2013
Excellent food and service!
January 28, 2013
The service was excellent, Josh was our server, and he was polite, and professional, and was always right there to ask if there was anything else that we needed. Our dinners were very good, my wife has the salmon, and I had the seafood pescatore. The only minus was that usually Portofino's has excellent chicken escarole soup, but this particular night the soup had run out, very possibly because it was a very good Saturday night, 1/26/13. A nice touch was that there was a middle aged woman that was singing some soft dinner songs, accompanied by music on a CD, she did have a pleasant soft voice, just right for a nice dinner at Portofino's. The food quality was very good, the portions were decent, and the prices a couple of dollars more than comparable restaurants. Again, hats off to Josh for his excellent service, and very good dinners at Portofino's. We do dine out at least once a week, and have visited many nice restaurants throughout RI, and MA., and overall, we would give Portofino's a 4.7 star out of 5 rating
January 28, 2013
Be sure you have reservations, or you will have to wait a long time. Also, the "entertainment" is a bit distracting.
January 25, 2013
tiny table for 2, felt locked in, close quarters in back dining room.
January 24, 2013
Great food and service.
January 22, 2013
seating was so tight and waitstaff had difficulty maneuvering around the tables. It was very awkward. Nearly had a tripping accident but it was averted, thankfully.
January 22, 2013
Our dining experience at Portofino was first rate. The food was expertly presented and very delicious, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere and ambiance are also mostly conducive to a fine dining experience. (The only distraction were the occasional blasts of cold outside air when the door opened... wish that they had the room for an entry foyer or airlock.) But, overall, we put Portofino on our "must return" list.
January 22, 2013
The service was very attentive and the food was outstanding. Also enjoyed the live music.
January 22, 2013
Severely understaffed, diner was warm not hot, wine order came very late, and water was a chore to get refilled.Music was terrible Karaoke style and did not lend to a pleasant atmosphere
January 22, 2013
Service was bad. only 1 waiter. Food was not as good as was in the past.
January 21, 2013
Very delicious food, the only thing my husband would change is to bread the veal for the veal parm.
January 20, 2013
Excellent Italian cuisine! Great service!
January 20, 2013
Everything was great but small portions especially the entrees for the price.
January 20, 2013
the entertainment far surpassed the food
January 18, 2013
Great food, lots of portion size options.
January 18, 2013
good food, good service, good price.Nice added touches.
January 18, 2013
good food, good service, good price.Nice added touches.
January 18, 2013
Service and meal were great...the upolstered half booth seating along the wall was way too low and very uncomfortable.....I was surprised to find that in a quality restaurant. I mentioned it to the waiter and he shared that many customers complain about the seating comfort.
January 16, 2013
The food and service were super. will definitely go return
January 15, 2013
We were seated near the door, so every time it opened, we got hit with cold air.Would have liked to have butter as an option with the bread, and 3 ravioli is a small portion, even for a half size order.
January 8, 2013
Friendly atmosphere & staff...Restaurant was clean & well appointed....
January 7, 2013
very pleased with all the food and experience at Elizabeths..just not happy that the certificate required us to spend $100 to use the 50dollar cert.
January 7, 2013
Great fresh seafood the best shrimp and scallops around. Love the formal dinning room.
January 7, 2013
We have never had a bad experience at this restuarant before; however this time was disapointing. My steak was so tough, I could not eat it. My husband ordered scallops with his veal and they arrived after he finished his meal. Note we have been at this establishment many times. We love this place. We had a new waiter who did not seem to care. I wished we had our usual waiter. The scallop incident would never have happened and my steak would have been removed from the bill. Paying $26 for a steak that was inedible was sad.
January 7, 2013
The food was excellent and the server was very nice and attentative to our table.
January 7, 2013
Food, Service and Waiter Josh were great!
December 12, 2012
PLS LEAVE MORE SPACE BETWEEN TABLES I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF WARWICK AVE TRAFFIC BUMPED AND SQUISHED CONSTANTLY
December 11, 2012
Delicious veal and chicken parmesan provided great leftover dinner the next night as well. Complimentary lemoncello and pizzelles a special touch!
December 7, 2012
Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. Very nice atmosphere; comparable to that of Federal Hill or East Greenwich.
December 5, 2012
The parking situation leaves much to be desired. The quality of the food was good, but the portion of pasta with my chicken and pasta dish was quite miniscule. Still, the food was good.
December 4, 2012
Food was excellent as was the service and atmosphere.
December 4, 2012
Portions are small- salad small-martini's small! Bread is also little small pieces- overall food is good but room for improvement! Music on Saturday nite is distracting & loud
December 4, 2012

December 4, 2012
The food was delicious!!We each had something different. All was great from the apps to the complimentary lemoncello. I would go again!!!! The only thing that could be improved was the serving of or drinks. You don't mind waiting for your apps or dinner if you have your drink.
November 30, 2012
I have eaten here several times and was always satisfied. However, this experience was not up to the standard I had expected. Food was poorly prepared and over salted.
November 30, 2012
The seafood in both of our dishes was not cooked enough. Most of the seafood on his dish could not be eaten. Wait staff was very personable. We waited too long for food to be served and for the check to be brough to us.
November 21, 2012
Always great food is delicious
November 20, 2012
the room was cold & service was slow
November 20, 2012
The service was very good and the food very delicious, however, I felt that it was a bit pricey for certain entrees. I had the capellini with pesto sauce and Scallops which was $24.00. There were 2 scallops over the capellini. The sauce was bland and really had no taste. Not at all worth the price. My husband got the filet special which he said was very delicious and that also was $24.00 which was a 12 oz filet with a mushroom gravy,mashed potatoes and a vegetable. That was definitely more worth $24.00. I think $14.00 for a pasta dish with just a sauce is a bit much let alone adding $8.00 for 2 scallops. I also think that although it is a nice touch to give complimentary shots of Lemoncello, I think that you should ask first before bringing it to the table.
November 19, 2012
Only negative part was we had to wait 15 minutes for our first drink because the Owner/Bartender/Waitress was busy, should be more than one bartender.
November 18, 2012
Everything was wonderful, from the roasted garlic and oil, to the complimentary Limocello and Italian cookies.
November 18, 2012
Took 15mins to get a drink, food was good
November 15, 2012
For years my wife and i would go to portofino's to celebrate an anniversary/birthday and it was an event we looked forward to. We moved away from the area about 8 years ago and have not been back since. It is nothing like it used to be. It took nearly 2 hours to get a salad an entree. I asked for our entree to be wrapped half way through trying to eat them so it could have been longer. We were sat in the ceter between two 4 tops and behind us was another three tops. Seating was way to close. As the tables opened up a frenzied bus boy hit me twice once nearly knocking me off my chair. I called over the hostess to ask her to slow the bus boy down. A few minutes she then walked into me as she was trying to sit these tables. The waiter made two mistakes with our order (nice guy though). My salmon was way overcooked, it was drier than a piece of tuna, hard to do that. We did notice the owner (so she said) who only interest was telling a group of customers how she was worried about her daughter on her first date.
November 14, 2012
everything was great once again
November 12, 2012
The freshest seafood around
November 9, 2012
Outstanding Service and Food
November 9, 2012
waitstaff is very attentive. Food was well prepared and served hot
November 7, 2012
Every one was happy with your food and drinks. The band was very loud right behind us tho. We could not hear each other speak.
November 6, 2012
The food was very good and the server was very good with a nice sense of humor.
November 6, 2012
Service a little slow, but not that it would deter me from returning.
November 5, 2012
The food was good, although the entrees are a la carte and on the expensive side. The full-size salad was very small. The service was a little slow but the staff was very friendly. The entertainment was great. Be careful to look at the detailed bill, we were over-charged on both entrees ordered. I pointed this out to the waiter, he did modify bill but we had to wait for another 15 min.
November 3, 2012
the scallops were raw.
October 26, 2012
Our server was awesome ..she answered all my questions and even knew what I was going to ask before I said it... The food was fantastic especially the dessert apple crime brûlée -yum!
October 24, 2012
Great food, atmosphere and service. Will definitely be dining at Portofino again.
October 24, 2012
Great food, generous portions
October 20, 2012
THE APPETISER CLAMS WERE A LITTLE TOUGH
October 19, 2012
Food and service is always the best.The after dinner pizelles and drink are a nice touch.
October 18, 2012
The service and food were terrific. They even served a small, complimentary dessert and after dinner drink. The atmosphere was warm and inviting.
October 18, 2012
Food is wonderful, always fresh. Have never been disappointed.
October 18, 2012
service was very prompt & the specialservices like grated cheese, cracked pepper, pizzelles & lemoncello were anadded bonus
October 16, 2012
great food and atmosphere-loved the variety of menu options. Everyone in my party had high praise. The complimentary pizzelles and limocello were a lovely touch. Told several people about it - we'll be back!
October 13, 2012
I had the filet mignon and the chef cooked it a perfect medium with the papa sauce, it was delicious. My son loves the gnocchi dish when he comes.
October 12, 2012
Only thing I did not like was the busboy brought us water and put his hands over the rim of the glasses where our lips would be touching it.
October 12, 2012
Food and service was fantastic.
October 10, 2012
The quality of the food was excellent and the portion sizes were just right.
October 10, 2012
Our waiter, Josh was fabulous!! My boyfriend could have eaten more. He felt the portion sizes for the price that we paid was very small. We understand that we were paying for the atmosphere and the food was good, not great. Thank goodness our waiter was so great because that made up for the rest.
October 10, 2012
The veal dish my husband ordered was not very good.......very tough. The side order of roasted potatoes (which the waiter forgot to bring at first) were very greasy.
July 16, 2012
Cannot say enough about the place Great food---excellent service, beautiful room Will definately return
July 16, 2012
The Calamari appetizer was fantastic. Next time I visit RI I will return for dinner.
July 14, 2012
Loved everthing about the dinner experience except for the decor. Needs a bit of updating.
July 11, 2012
It was great food and a very good value.
July 8, 2012
The food was very good but we waited about90 minutes for our entree once it was ordered. The waiter kept apologizing for the backup in the kitchen and the restaurant was not very crowded.I would not want to go back again because of the terrible wait.
July 5, 2012
Well worth the visit. The food is always consistent and great value for your money.
July 3, 2012
Staff was very helpful and food was excellent. My only complaint was that I did think that the food was a liitle on the expensive side, but delicous. We would definitely come again, but just occasionally
July 2, 2012
The food was excellent and the server was very attentive to our needs. We did find the parking to be tight, but their was a parking attendant.
July 2, 2012
The food was excellent! Great date night.
July 2, 2012
Food and Service were wonderful. We will definitely return.
June 27, 2012
Dined on the patio and it was nice on a beautiful day. However, a couple was smoking. I thought you had to be so many feet away from the building to smoke??!!
June 18, 2012
We had a wonderful dinner that was topped off with amazing service. Our plan is to return this week for the same.
June 12, 2012
Elizabeth is very accommodating...nice remodel...nice outside dinning area in back. Food is excellent !
June 12, 2012
The food is always excellent. The lounge area can be a bit noisy to dine in when there is music but the dining room is always a quieter option.
June 11, 2012
Experience was excellent. Will frequent this restaurant often.
June 9, 2012
had great service and I liked what they served at the end of the meal.
June 6, 2012
great food great attmosphere great service
June 4, 2012
Food is fantastic! Elizabeth is great! Entertainment very good! Service too slow despite cureous attention!
June 4, 2012
great food, love the roasted garlic on table
May 30, 2012
I had been here many years ago, in the late 1980's, think the name changed, food and service was still excellant.
May 23, 2012
Excellent all around----
May 23, 2012
Our service was wonderful. The main course lacked flavor.
May 23, 2012
The vegetable portions included with the veal chop were quite tiny. I liked the menu and portions better before you revised your menu.
May 16, 2012
I can't say enough good things about Portofino. Great food, fast, friendly service, everything you want in a restaurant.
May 15, 2012
Excellant service!! Atmosphere was great!
May 14, 2012
I referred five different coup0les to your restaurant. I visited it at least 10 years ago and it's still wonderful. Like the band also - that was a treat.
May 14, 2012
I would rate the food good except for our appetizer,Clams Casino, we did not care for it at all.
May 14, 2012
Great place. top quality food excellent service.
May 14, 2012
Was put in an uncomfortable corner with my chair up against the chair of the person behind me. Waiter had too many tables and so services was slow. Food was OK, but I need to be comfortable in a restaurant.
May 14, 2012
I was looking for a good restaurant while out of town, Portofino was EXCELLENT and far exceeded my expectations!
May 9, 2012
We have loved this place for a long time and find the certificates a bonus. We are remembered every time we go and feel aat home. Thank you
May 8, 2012
The main coarse was wonderful, but the pizza was cold when we received it. We didn't send it back because the girl with us was her birthday and we were on our way to take her to her party.
May 7, 2012
Our meals were great, the server was extremely pleasant and we would recommend this place to other people.
May 7, 2012
food, service, atmosphere was great...we received a comp. lemom chello & Italian cookies. (was totally unexpected and delicious)
May 3, 2012
Loved it, we will be back.
April 30, 2012
The service was very slow
April 24, 2012
Excellent food and service. Definitely will return.
April 24, 2012
slow service and it was not busy
April 23, 2012
service was great, as was the food & wine an Italian Table wine that we all enjoyed we were off to ourselves, which was great as we had not all been together in awhile,cozy place..
April 20, 2012
Have eaten there several times previously and would recommend it.
April 19, 2012
Everything was great
April 16, 2012
food was great and the server was excellent
April 16, 2012
Love the food here , dessert a little pricey for the size.
April 13, 2012
The food took a little longer than we had expected. Also, I had filet and it was not as tender as I had expected.
April 9, 2012
Gnocchi were gummy and pesto was overly oily. My wife was directed to a restroom near the bar that was filthy, rather than the nicer one in the dining room.
April 9, 2012
we enjoyed the food very much.
April 9, 2012
delicious!!! will be back
April 9, 2012
Excellent food, prices comparable to restaurants with similar atmosphere and menu. Enjoyed the Italian Nachos and the Salmon special!
April 9, 2012
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Service is great and all around dining expierence is a pleasure.
March 29, 2012
Food was delisious, Top Notch! Service was AWESOME..Thank You Philip...excellent service...and that special touch of Lemoncello/pizzella..was a compliment to a perfect meal. Will for sure return!
March 26, 2012
Food and ambiance is very nice, howerver my wife did find a piece of plastic in her salad. It was taken off the bill, but the owner Liz, never came over to offer appologies.

With a "new" al a carte meneu we found it expensive for the venue...........This was the second time in last 2 months(1st with new menu) we tried with both times less then pleased....With so many restaurants with same style food in area, it would be hard too go back. Fool me once , fool me twice there won't be a third.

Service was slow, our bottle of wine was served 1/2 way through eating our antipasto. Long drawn out dinner overall. Food OK but have had much better for similar prices.

Very nice atmosphere. Not crazy about sauce. Ordered penne with entree to try it and didn't care for it. Therefore, would not order anything italian with sauce.

I had taken my nephew our for his 18th birthday and we were both pleased with the service and the excellant food. My nephew really enjoyed the garlic and the bread as he had not experienced this before. I would certainly recommend your restaurant highly.
