Went last Wednesday MO was our server. He was amazing and made us a special olive oil dip for our bread. He gave us personal service and had great food and drink suggestions. We had steak with shrimp and chicken Fiorentina it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back and asking for MO again. Back again had lunch with my parents last week an amazing salmon salad and tonight requested MO and had girls night dinner withhomemade Tiramisu, oysters, and pasta. Our favorite part is our wonderful waiter that welcomes and remembers us.

Portobello impresses with the beauty of the Italian house, authentic interior, beautiful details such as chandeliers, lamps, spiral staircase, sink in the toilet and much more. Everything is very stylish and antique. There is a summer veranda with many tables. Huge private parking. The cuisine was also impressive, I recommend the delicious ravioli with lobster in a delicate pink sauce and ravioli with mushrooms and prosciutto, it is very tasty. Also a magnificent salad with tomatoes and cucumbers, delicious swordfish, fried crispy squid with warm tomato sauce were great. Insanely delicious desserts and coffee impressed us. The service here is top notch and professional, Momir who served us is the best in his profession, whom we have ever met. I definitely recommend visiting this place.

Attending my good friend's baby shower at this restaurant was a delightful experience. Everything was beautifully organized, and it's no surprise since it was my fourth visit here. This place never fails to impress, consistently offering unique experiences. The food was, as always, delicious, and it's safe to say that this restaurant continues to be a favorite for special occasions. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable dining experience!

Had my baby shower at Portobello Restaurant and it was the best decision! Everything turned out beautiful. Marcello was so easy to work with. The process/planning was stress- free and they were very accommodating! I would highly recommend and will likely be returning for future events.

Hosted the best bridal shower here! Marcelo was helpful and easy to get a hold of with any of my random questions leading up to the event. We were able to get their early and set up. We were in the library with 29 guests and it was a perfect intimate setting. The servers were proactive and kept everything moving smoothly. Food was delicious. We had enough space for a backdrop, dessert table, game table, gift table, and welcome table. Atmosphere was great! HIGHLY reccomend!!
