    Service was fantastic. Italian marg and Vesper martini were very well balanced. Bruschetta is delicious. Beet salad was very good and perfect for two but I wish there were more beets. Bolognese was spot on and a do again. Mussels were okay. Broth wasn’t my favorite. A bit salty and I season heavy. I had three ‘no one is home’ that I couldn’t find in the sauce and three that didn’t open. Definitely going back.

    Delighted to have discovered this place. We had a delicious meal that included a shared appetizer, shared main entree, and separate desserts. Enjoyed a bottle of very good wine. Decor is cozy and comfortable. Perhaps most outstanding was the service. Shaunda was beyond excellent. She definitely aimed to please. Shaunda was efficient, professional, and very, very friendly. Another server (did not get her name) also helped by arranging for us to pay for part of our friends’ dinner, one of whom was celebrating his birthday. Will definitely return to Portofino’s

    Service, food presentation, and quality of the dinner was nothing short of fabulous. Braised short ribs risotto was incredible. Best dining in Indy period!

    Portofinos was absolutely the best. It has everything! It was small and quaint. Very personalized with the Chef interacting with us a couple of times. The food was wonderful. Definitely try the cannolis!

    One of the best restaurants around Indianapolis. Expect smaller plates so you'll want to order many courses. My wife and I split 6 total courses and that was about right for us. Everything we've had has been amazing, so try a lot of variety if you get a chance to go!

    Possibly the best Italian food in Indianapolis. The service is always the best. The Caesar Salad is spectacular. Our guest had the Osso Buco and loved it. I always have the Mussels. My wife did the Pappardelle and said the pasta was best cooked she has ever had, she said it was perfect. Great spot.
