Portofino Restaurant

Delicious food as always, great staff and love the building and decor. definitely recommend coming here 😁🍕

A superbly designed restaurant offering a superb italian atmosphere to enjoy food and wine. impeccable service by staff. nice menu covering all italian basics with some intriguing dishes of the day showcased on chalk boards. good list of italian wines. portions normal. prices good value. risotto good. stake and chicken diane good meats average sauce. spaghetti bolognese ok. meatballs (starters) superb. deserts ok. in general, food lacking a bit on taste but definitely worth a visit for the vibe and excellent service.

Nine of us went on a wednesday evening to give a send off to a colleague. the place was super packed despite not being the weekend which was a very positive aspect for us. i had pasta which was very good. whereas my colleges who had pizzas weren't really impressed though. others who had different varied of pastas felt it was good. so i strongly recommend pasta over pizzas. the staff were friendly and always showed happy faces to serve us. i would definitely visit the place once again.

First time we have tried this restaurant. food was very good and piping hot. service was quick and friendly.prices were very reasonable. two things we would advise. book first. this is a very busy restaurant and we noticed people who hadn't booked we're turned away. the restaurant is very noisy, with lots of people in a small space and with a high ceiling. quite difficult to have conversation. we probably will go back but we will look for a quieter night.

Large italian restaurant in the centre of newcastle in a beautiful historic building. food was good and well priced. my caprese salad was delicious, my vegetarian pizza had a nice crusty base and adequate topping. hubby enjoyed his starter of scallops. desserts were enjoyed by our friends who said they were very good. fast, professional service. good atmosphere.
