What Lila R doesn't like about Cafe Portofino:
More of a dive bar than a cafe. The photo of the outdoor seating area doesn't really show that it's in next to a parking lot in the middle of downtown Boone. This is a more accurate picture of the vibe. The jalapeno poppers were completely burnt, but to their credit they took them back and didn't charge for them. View all feedback. What Justin E likes about Cafe Portofino:
The food was good, great beer selection, blah blah blah. The real story here is fully staffed with excellent service. That is so hard to find right now, do yourself a favor and go here instead of rolling the dice somewhere else. View all feedback.

read moreWhile some dishes like the jalapeno poppers may not always hit the mark, the attentive staff is quick to make things right. Customers rave about the Italian wontons, garlic burger wrap, and fried green tomato burger, while also praising the drink selection and friendly service. With a diverse menu that caters to a variety of tastes and a welcoming atmosphere that can serve as both a bar and a restaurant, this establishment has become a staple in Boone for good reason. Whether you're looking for a casual hangout spot or a sit-down dinner with wine, this restaurant has something for everyone.
