    This place never disappoints me. Always great service !!! we like the meat lasagna and try the braised short rib appetizer. They also have great wine selection.

    I have gone to Caffe Portofino 2x now. The first time I ordered Veal Piccata and a house salad. The veal was very tough and hard to chew. In my opinion Veal should be very soft. I've been to other local Italian restaurants, and the veal was superior to this! The flavor of the veal here was really good as well as the Piccatta sauce, but I really did not like the dish nor the meat!Salad wasn't anything special! The 2nd time I was hesitant to order anything with veal again, so I went with Chicken Marsala. I was disappointed again as the chicken was dry and chewy. What a disappointment. My father-in-law mentioned his Veal Parmigiani was tough too! Other members of my family had various pasta dishes and mentioned they were very good! I don't think I will return as there are other Italina places that I prefer better. What a shame!

    I made our reservation through Open Table. I was not made aware that there was a set menu for $80 per person for a three course meal. This was quite a shock when you consider the entrees at Portofino are typically around $20. While the food and service were very good, the overall experience was worth no more than $35 per person. We stayed since it was Mother's Day, and I did not want to disappoint my wife.
