More information on Portofino

When you're exhausted and just want to eat quickly and well, Portofino will oblige with delicious pastas, pizzas, and chicken and veal dishes. It's small, dark, cozy, and terribly popular, so get in early if you want a guaranteed spot. Watch the chefs cooking, enjoy the friendly staff, and leave without spending a fortune. Portofino has several other city locations -- the best is on Viaduct Basin -- but the Parnell eatery still scores more for atmosphere. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
