Il Portico - PULA

Visited without a reservation. Party of 6. We only wanted pasta which was just as well because we were told on the way in that the pizzas were off the menu. Staff didn't speak English and service was really slow, especially when it came to getting the bill! Food was ok, but my son ordered pasta with tuna and we're still looking for the tuna! Wouldn't recommend this place.

We were invited in by the restaurant 's bouncer. We sat down and experienced that there was nobody who spoke English serving. When we were going to order drinks, only one type of beer amongst several local Italian beers on the menu was available. We experienced the same when we wanted to order soft drinks, sold out for sprite! We order beef and when we got it, it was a strange taste to it. After finishing dinner we wanted to order some dessert from the menu, again the answer was sold out. The atmospher in the restaurant was not relaxing as the music was to loud and stressful

Avoid!Expensive food which was below average. It took more than an hour to get the main dishes. Even then calamari was replaced with shrimp (that had gone bad). The wine we requested had run out so we were brought one that cost 1/3 more.

Restaurant located in the historic center of pula in a historic building with very nice and reserved inner courtyard. the owner who also proceeds to the preparation of the dishes has served us a dinner based on fish from the appetizers to continue with linguine to the axe and grilled of local fish, all great and abundant, supper well compliments, the service managed by prepared and competent staff, the price a little over the norm, but it is worth it.

Welcomed by a lovely waitress who did her best to explain the menu in English. It's a typical Sardinia menu with fish, pasta and meat. For some reason we can't find a restaurant that does chicken ! Being a no. Red meat eating person it's a bit limiting to be eating cheese and pasta all the time. The fish is fresh but not filleted so again for me not an option but the rest of my party it's fine. The puddings were lovely I had profiteroles and the others had tiramisu. On a par with most of the good restaurants to be fair so worth a visit. Hard to get to by car due to one way system so park up and walk thru is my advice.
