Italian restaurant in Auckland harbour area. Extensive menu and wine list. Food was nice but nothing special. The location is great and the terrace is nice.
Good place with good vibes. Food was good in quality and quantity as well. The view from outer seating area is great as well.
On the pricey side for pretty basic food (pizza, pasta, etc.) but five stars for the atmosphere. The decor is lovely, the views are great and the service is fantastic. The staff are incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful with the exception of the guy who seated us and appeared to be either the owner or the manager. He was quite grumpy and a little rude to a table seated next to us. The rest of the staff were really great though, and excellent with kids too. Highly recommend Portofino as a nice family friendly venue.
Great food, awesome vibe, and super friendly service! The ambiance made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
Amazing menu with so much to choose from. Service was very efficient, and the food was divine.
Very beautiful and authentic Italian restaurant. Loved the vibe of this place. Has a very stunning view from the dining area. Very friendly staff! Amazing food. Had chicken fettuccine- really nice flavor. Loved the chicken fettuccine. Would go here on any day for a nice Italian meal!
I loved this place, it was birthday dinner and being vegetarian they have so many options, Food is great and love the overall. will surely recommend and come back again.
Extremely poor customer service especially from the manager himself. We were sat at the outside area under the umbrella and when it started raining we asked if we could move inside or have the outside covers set up to block the rain - the manager told us it was a lot of work to put the covers down and stated that “it’s just water”. When we asked for tap water rather than the fancy sparkling water bottles they sneakily leave at the table (they cost extra) they get extremely stingy - not filling our glasses to the top, not leaving a pitcher of water on the table and only refilling when we asked. When we requested for the carbonara to have fettuccine instead of spaghetti the waiter said we can’t change the pasta. I just thought this was unusual especially for an ‘authentic’ italian restaurant. Small portions and overpriced. Spend your money elsewhere.
Dine here! You won't regret! I'm SHOCKED that this restaurant has such a low rating due to picky customers not knowing that they are at an authentic Italian restaurant in Viaduct precinct, Auckland waterfront. I have dined here quite a few times with different groups of friends and colleagues and couldn't find any faults in their food and service and the location! I called the day before yesterday to book a table for 14 people just a week before Christmas week, and they have a big table available for us. The staff was very attentive to us and our food. For 14 people with different dishes, food came out super quickly, from starters to mains, drinks were served professionally. We also brought a birthday cake with us with their permission, they offered to put it in the fridge and served it for us later with a small charge of course. Seafood was fresh, cheese and bread was yummy, pasta and risotto was yummy my colleagues finished their main dish like within 5 minutes as they were so scrumptious! Steak was cooked perfectly as requested! Definitely highly recommended and will come back.
