“ Great place. Been coming to this restaurant for the past 25 years. Food is flavorful and owner very nice. ”
“ Have lived in Forest Hills for years and never went here. Finally went with two friends and pleasantly surprised. All our food was tasty and the service was pleasant. White tablecloths and a somewhat more formal atmosphere. But not oppressive. Shared a calamari appetizer and a beet salad. The salad was nice but nothing special. One person had the whole branzino and loved it. I had the pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe. Delicious. I would definitely eat it again. And one person had Penne ala vodka. Again very pleased. Shared a lemon desert, which was tasty and light. This place isn't cheap. But I wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend it. ”
“ The service was amazing, the server was very attentive and recommended us to try this Italian cheesecake off the dessert platter. The ambience was nice, clean and there was a piano for live music they do sometimes. The food was yummy, I enjoyed my Caesar salad the most! ”
“ Second to Tuscan Hills in food but not in establishment and atmosphere . Went on Valentine's Day. Very romantic. Very decent place Superr A+ ”
“ My sister lives near Portofino and really likes it, so during my last visit we stopped by for lunch together. Immediately loved their old school decor (including lovely Easter bunny tower when we were there) and classically prepared Italian food served by polite professional staff. Food was excellent overall. My Veal Portofino consisted of pounded lightly sauteed veal scallopini blanketed with fresh chopped fresh tomatoes, scallions and a touch of white wine. A light flavorful dish, came with a side of al dente pasta marinara. Sister's generously sized veal chop was prepared medium well the way she likes it. (She's very picky/selective about her food, no problem at all for Portofino as they aim to please). Seafood risotto for the table was perfectly prepared, a hefty portion and not overcooked as it often is at other places. Tartufo dessert was scrumptious and plenty to share. The room wasn't crowded, but it was early on a weekday so can't comment about weekends or busier times. Parking can be a challenge in this area so we parked a few blocks away and walked there, no biggie on a nice cool day. ”
