    First time here. Was hoping for gluten free options but our server explained the pasta had sold out earlier. My wife opted for the only remaining gf option of risotto. She was extremely happy. My veal parmesan was also excellent as well as the kids’ chicken alfredo. Servers were very attentive. We’ll be back earlier on the weekend to try the gf pasta!

    My husband and I came here for a date last night. The lobster bisque was delicious and different from usual busques I’ve had. Not too creamy! I had spaghetti frutta di mare. It is super filling and tasty. The tiramisu was also fluffy and light and creamy. Perfect dinner! Our only complaint is that the chairs don’t have much support.

    I’ve been going to Caffe Portofino for years. I realized that I have never given a well deserved good review. One word describes the service, ambiance and Food……AMAZING. They have never failed me. Every single “soup of the day” is exquisite. Their daily specials are carefully thought out and their waiters explain them in detail. You will never have a bad experience. They will always try to accommodate you when you don’t have a reservation but I highly recommend . Don’t be discouraged if open table says no table is available. Go anyway. They accommodate as much as possible

    Braydy is maybe the best, most professional server we've ever had at any restaurant in our lives. We always make sure he takes care of us, because he always remembers our son's allergies and what he likes to order. This time he tried something different, and Braydy still made sure that it was safe and that our son enjoyed it. The food was amazing, as always. We continue to recommend this place as the best Italian restaurant in Miami.

    We have dined here before, and usually make a point to visit when we go to Miami. My husband always orders his favorite, the pear Gorgonzola ravioli, with the amaretto sage cream sauce. It is the absolute best. I continue to explore the menu and have never been disappointed. I asked our server for his recommendation of a wine to compliment my entree, and he was absolutely correct.

    Phenomenal food and service at this marvelous neighborhood restaurant. We go about once a month, and they always great us by name and have our favorite bottle of wine at the table, but unopened in case we want something different. It is a real family place. When the place is full, the sound of conversation gets a bit louder, but we’ve never found it too loud to make our own conversation difficult. The waiters are professionals reminding me of those in a top European restaurant.

    Fuimos 2 parejas y desde el principio la atencion fue algo rara parecia que el mesero estaba de afan, preguntamos por algunos platos y su respuesta fue que estaba en el menú, cuando uno pide por esa ayuda es porque quiere conocer un pocomas de la descripción del plato. Mi amiga y yo pedimos lasagna y vino fria, mi espsos pidio una cerveza y no la trajeron porque esraban calientes, cuando ya casi nos ibamos llego el mesero con la cerveza y mi esposo ya no la queria pues ya habiamos terminando y rl holbre tambien se enojo pero la creza del pastel fue cuando llego la hora de pagar la cuenta el esposo de mi amiga fue quien la leyo, mi esposo le pregunto que si venia la propina incluida y el le dijo que si, obviamente porque pensó que si, se equivoco vuando la leyo , vio tax y creyo q era tip , es mas el pensaba q le estabanda dando extra propina entonces mi esposo no lleno la propina. Cuando vamos saliendo del restaurante viene este mesero en una actitud de que porque no habiamos dejado propina pero casi con la pistola afuera, y quedamos confundidos porque pensabamos q si habiamos dejado, pues este señor lo unico que le falto fue pegarnos. Nos sentimos agredidos y maltratados. Este mesero de.apellido Crespo debe tener un entrenamiento en atencion al cliente. Cabe anotar que el restaurante yiene tan poca iluminación que para leer la carta tuvimos que usar la luz del telefono para poder verla. Jamas voveria a comer ahi.

    We love Caffe Portofino and looked forward to sharing with our friends from MA. The food was delicious as always. The server did his best considering there was a very large party at three separate tables. The noise level was very uncomfortable. Happily they left before we did so we could enjoy the usually nice ambiance.

    All the reviews I read beforehand gave this restaurant a tough act to equal, they did not fail. My wife and I enjoyed the 2 salmon and beef carpaccio appetizers, both were very nicely balanced and tasted great. Ossobuco veal was very nice, the accompanying champagne risotto was spectacular. I had veal Milanese with linguine with vodka bolognese that was one of the best ever. They had some really impressive wines on the Captain’s list, the one I picked made this a very special meal. Thanks guys
