Came in last night as a group of 5. The restaurant was already full like always. We were sat down by one one the young girls who were very welcoming and nice! I had the seafood risotto and it was divine, very creamy and tasty dish. Will be back soon for sure.
My boyfriend and I had dinner at Portofino tonight had the steak with the mushroom sauce. Glad to say this steak was one of my favourites- great service and overall amazing night. Will be back :)
I have visited Portofino in Howick multiple times, the employees there are all very friendly polite and ensure that you have everything you need! Not to mention the food is amazing, highly recommend their fettuccine pasta!
We love Portofino in Howick. We find the service warm and friendly and very attentive. The menu has something for everyone and our meals are always of a high standard.
My family of 5 came here tonight knowing it’s a really popular restaurant, wasn’t surprised at how busy it was on a Tuesday night since the whole experience was lovely. The manager was so welcoming and smiley! I ordered a chicken breast dish, which was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. I also decided to get the tiramisu that I was told the chef makes and it was perfect and not to sweet! Will recommend to anyone who just generally wants amazing food and I myself will definitely be back.
Heard a lot about this place before going there. It is known for its amazing seafood and pizzas.Even though we came in just an hour prior to closing at 9 on a busy Friday night, the staff was efficient but friendly, and had helpful recommendations for their menu
I didn't try any of the wines but the pizza was excellent. We ordered the Fettuccine con pollo,penne al salmone affumicato( must try) and the amore pizza which were cooked to perfection . The pizza had slightly crispy crust and wonderful melted cheese.
The place is cute, rustic casual and a cool place to go near the market.
Nice place. Friendly service. Great food. However, it is quite a small place and can get crowded. Also, tables are quite close to eachother hence the 4. But otherwise no complaints. A great place to visit. 😊😊
This is the place we go to for pasta in East Auckland. Service is always great, the waitresses are always attentive.
Last we went, we ordered an entree of chicken liver. It was cooked to perfection. It was moist and creamy, no weird organ taste, matched with the garlic mushroom sauce was delicious. Portion is generous.
I Came in with my partner on Sunday for dinner. The service was great and the food was excellent, would defiantly recommend if you love Italian food.
Came in with my partner on Saturday, service was excellent, the staff were all very kind and welcoming as well as delicious mains, everything cooked to perfection like always. Highly recommend giving it a try!
Came back to Portofino in Howick and it was definitely as good as I remember. The drinks are amazing and the food is delicious especially the calamari. The service is first class as well. Highly highly recommend this place for a nice dinner out.
GREAT food! Amazing service, especially from Anna. Thank you so much.
Our waitress, Jess, ensured we had a beautiful evening. The food was amazing, Jess was there when we were ready for her and discreet when we wanted alone time. As I said before, the food was so good, service was the icing on the cake (we were too full for cake though!)
Delicious dinner as always. We had cheese bread pene to start.Fettecini con pollo is my go to dish but tried the lamb cutlets tonight. Well I had the pasta as my entree and lamb as my main. Wife had squid and prawns for main. Bought tiramasu for desert as take away as we were too stuffed to eat it there. One of our favorite places to eat.
The food was amazing except for the cheese pizza 🍕which was quite salty. We had risotto and steak there. My gin and tonic was great but the Sex on the beach 🏖 cocktail that my boyfriend ordered was too sweet and tasted more like juice than cocktail 🍹. Staff were friendly and nice. Prices are reasonable!
Food was very tasty, cooked beautifully.
Service was great, always with a smile
The food was delicious! We had a variety of pasta, fish, steak and chicken dishes and they were all well presented and delicious. I had the pepper steak and it was cooked as requested.
Dessert was delicious, I had the cheesecake. Today's flavour was passionfruit and the flavour and texture was excellent.
The customer service was excellent, our waitress was lovely and accommodating.
We sat outside on the covered terrace and the gas heaters kept us very warm.
Will definitely return.
Steak cooked perfectly. Lovely people welcoming you. The dish was yummy, they definitely know how to cook. A bit expensive though but it’s worth it if you want quality. 🤠🤩🤤 and awesome wine, the lady is so sweet and knows how to pick it up for you ☺️
Still as good as ever. Haven't been here for a number of years until today but the Spaghetti Marinara is as good as I remember.
My friend and I went for dinner at our local Portofino tonight with no booking, Luckily they made a table for us on the spot. Food was delicious and service is always 10/10, very helpful and lovely lady at the front! Highly recommend.
