Portofino Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar Reviews

Giovanni and his staff always make our dining experience one to remember. The food is always fresh, beautifully presented, and most importantly, delicious. We were so happy to see our waiter Nick last night; he always has a smile on his face, makes you feel welcomed and is happy to serve you. The short rib is a house speciality and my fave, but they always have specials to try something new.

Food was excellent, Nick our server was the best, very attentive. Our experience was great, we didn't feel rushed and had time to enjoy each course. We shared anniversary celebrations with our friends and the desserts came out with "Happy Anniversary" on the plates, a perfect touch to a perfect evening.

Great meal tonight at Portofino’s! I had the grouper special and it was very good. The wife had rigatoni bolognese and she very much enjoyed it. Served piping hot and had great flavor. Salads also very good. Service outstanding. No room for dessert, which was a shame.

From the minute you walk in you feel the friendliness of this place. The host is friendly. The bossman is friendly. The waiter is friendly, and reels off the specials while in continuous motion filling waters, etc. Our table ordered lasagna, chicken piccata, lobster ravioli and grouper elba. We never saw the chef, but every dish was absolutely fantastic! Service from Nick was perfect. We had a great bottle of Amarone, and the dessert was unbelievable. Strawberries, choc syrup, and gelato balls covered with chocolate, sliced in half to reveal half vanilla, half chocolate gelato of the quality we have had in Italy. This is a place we have come to for 3 years now, and I finally had to put up a review that reflects their excellence!

Best meal I ate while on my vacation in Myrtle Beach! Everything is well flavored and leaves you craving more. Our server gave phenomenal recommendations and was attentive to our table the entire visit. It was a pleasure to have the owner stop by and greet our children. It was a wonderful experience in a warm and welcoming environment.

VJ at bar delivered over the top great service. Refilled my ice tea glass without asking several times. Did not hesitate when I asked for sautéed spinach instead of mashed potatoes to accompany my veal piccata. Veal was a bit tough, but hot and tasty. Not a dealbreaker, will return for another visit. Staff was friendly and thanked me for dining at their restaurant.

1st time here. The service was good, but it stopped there. I ordered the lobster trio which was extremely soggy, and overcooked. It came with one medium sized shrimp and one small scallop for $58. The price was not on the menu so I jump into that dish blindly. It came with a watery sauce that made everything taste the same. My husband ordered the veal piccata… small portion with the same muted flavor as everything else. Not the experience we were expecting, however the atmosphere is nice.
