Editorial Review for Portofino's Italian Restaurant – by Susan McDevitt
The Scene
"Benvenuti!" reads the menu, telling you that your presence is welcome at Portofino. If you don't believe it, just read the smiles on the faces of the folks waving you in: the guy tossing pizza or making a sub to your left as you enter, the server who seats you and eagerly confesses that "everything's good." Seated around you will be families, regulars and police on dinner break from the nearby Charlie 2 district station.
The Food
Entrees include chicken, veal and seafood dishes. Even the salad is delightful, thanks mostly to a secret-recipe dressing made by only the closest family members (the servers aren't even allowed to watch). If you're hungry for pizza, the pies here are an ideal choice, with their chunky-cut toppings and handmade crust. Other winners: Littleneck clams casino and stuffed eggplant.
