What Cecilia K doesn't like about Portofino:
I would not go here again. Food was a bit salty and spicy than other pizza places . Service wasn't the best . They could do much better with a friendly and warm staff. Found the waitress intimidating no wonder the place was so quiet with no customers compared to other busy Parnell restaurants. Theres better Italian restaurants in Auckland. View all feedback. What Mai M likes about Portofino:
I went here with my mum for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed the pasta. My mother who has been to Italy said it was very authentic. The service was great and I liked their wine selection. We don't have the Portofino chain in Australia but I can definitely say it's better than La Porchetta. View all feedback.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner that included wine, a salad, two main courses, dessert, and coffee. The lasagna al forno was particularly delicious.
