Great Italian restaurant, handy location , friendly service
We went on a quite Monday evening so had the place pretty much to ourselves. The food was great, fettuccine con polo was amazing and the waiter, Kristian, I believe was very nice. A tad pricey, but an overall good experience
Delicious pasta, lovely waiter. Will be back!
Went there today for dinner, I ordered an pizza and my partner ordered carbonara pasta, both was really delicious, good wine selection as well!
Location is great, after the meal we could go for a nice walk around that area. Friendly staff, and fair price ( not cheap, but not extremely expensive), so will go back definitely! :-)
Best italian restaurant for me with huge servings and well seasoned dishes :) celebrated our 1 year friendship with my bestfriend 🎉 compliment to the male waiter that serves us very friendly and accommodating keep it up Portofino 😁✌
We don't see why there are such poor ratings :)
Great service, delicious food with great portion sizes and fair prices. Not to mention you have the view of the beautiful viaduct. The calamari is a must and their pizzas are some of our favourites.
Great lunch on a beautiful sunny Queens birthday :)
what a lovely place to dinein..beautiful waterfront sit out option with great authentic italian food.
food tastes great and ambiance is just amazing. we had a weekend family lunch there and had such a lovely time.
there are other portofino outlets too, have been to most of them and just like other outlets, this one will never disappoint you. if they have a fanclub or something then i would be the 1st one to join it .
Food as amazingly great. Felt like we were in Italy.
We ordered a pizza and pasta. Very fresh and had that homemade taste!
Service on the other hand was extremely slow. We waited 50 minutes before food was served

Sunday late lunch while waiting Denny Setiawan took his new bike - ordered bruschetta galleto, this place has a nice view especially in summer day
The location is superb. The staff and service was good. Payed $22.5 for the burrata and $19.5 for the bolognese. Burrata definitely needed more rockets, or orange. Overpriced. The spaghetti had to much red sauce but in general was good and was ok with the price.
Very beautiful and authentic Italian restaurant. Loved the vibe of this place. Has a very stunning view from the dining area. Very friendly staff! Amazing food. Had chicken fettuccine- really nice flavor. Loved the chicken fettuccine. Would go here on any day for a nice Italian meal!
I loved this place, it was birthday dinner and being vegetarian they have so many options, Food is great and love the overall. will surely recommend and come back again.
Amazing menu with so much to choose from. Service was very efficient, and the food was divine.
Went here with my friend at Friday evening. After strolling around the viaduct, my friend suddenly looked at this place and promptly scanned the price list at the front. She feels the price is reasonable for the portion this restaurant serves — we went in. Turned out the service was excellent, one staff managed to pull off a very good Bahasa Indonesia for us! Totally delighted! And the lasagna and romana pizza they served us were excellent. Romana pizza was fantastic with perfect combination of salted olive and anchovies. We enjoyed this restaurant so much!

Dine here! You won't regret! I'm SHOCKED that this restaurant has such a low rating due to picky customers not knowing that they are at an authentic Italian restaurant in Viaduct precinct, Auckland waterfront. I have dined here quite a few times with different groups of friends and colleagues and couldn't find any faults in their food and service and the location! I called the day before yesterday to book a table for 14 people just a week before Christmas week, and they have a big table available for us. The staff was very attentive to us and our food. For 14 people with different dishes, food came out super quickly, from starters to mains, drinks were served professionally. We also brought a birthday cake with us with their permission, they offered to put it in the fridge and served it for us later with a small charge of course. Seafood was fresh, cheese and bread was yummy, pasta and risotto was yummy my colleagues finished their main dish like within 5 minutes as they were so scrumptious! Steak was cooked perfectly as requested! Definitely highly recommended and will come back.
Nice food. Ok price. Lovely vibe and atmosphere. Lovely views.
Food was great! Had oysters and the casarecce alfredo. oysters were $5/one which seemed fairly reasonable in my experience, however for almost $30 the pasta dish seemed small (the bowl looks larger than it is). Still i would go back, i just might plan to stop for a snack somewhere on my way. Service was decent, nothing to write home about.
I’m not sure why the reviews are so low because this was one of our best meals after a week in Auckland.
We went for an early dinner/ late lunch and got a quiet table outside in a really cute enclosed patio. Wine was amazing and affordable. Bruschetta appetizer was fresh and HUGE.
The chicken and mushroom fettuccine was creamy, perfectly cooked and delicious. The tortellini was possibly the best I’ve ever eaten! So creamy and oozing with cheese.
Service was attentive and wonderful.
The food is amazing. Best we have ever had. The staff are friendly and the food arrives promptly and hot.
Excellent food & the service from the waiter was amazing. Cheerful, friendly & his banter went down well with everyone. Highly recommend
