What Vicky Yiu likes about Portofino:
Listed in one of my favourite pasta restaurants!!! The lasagna is novel that served with soup-like sauce, which is pretty appetising, but the pasty is too soft soaking in the sauce. The Hawaiian pizza is good too, cheese tastes fabulous, but the pineapple and ham are too tiny to feel that I am eating them lol. Annnnnnnd there must be a LIKE for the risotto de pollo!!!

I never leave reviews but this was really just terrible Italian food. Caprese salad was not fresh at all, smoked salmon pasta wasn't even made with smoked salmon, cream sauce tasted very off, garlic bread was just over cooked pizza dough with garlic on top. Arugula salad was the only thing that was fine. My stomach was upset after 3 bites so we barely ate anything. Would definitely not recommend View all feedback.
