    My experience at Pizzeria Portofino was amazing as usual. I ordered the winter spritz and the pesto pasta. Cody was an amazing server and suprised us with a birthday desert.

    I loved the food. It's the most authentic Italian food I have ever tried! The ambience was good but the girls behind us were screaming for 2 hours straight... 😪 it gets really noisy. I've always liked a very attentive service and our server did not come to us a lot and we had to wait to pay etc so that's why I gave it 3 stars
