text: Took my parents to this location Christmas Eve for lunch Personally I am a big lunch person because you pay less for almost the same amount of food as dinner time That aside I have been a long time fan of Portofinos SouthPark Ayrsley Eastway locations There are days I literally CRAVE their pasta Mediterraneo I always order mine with capellini For you cannot beat this Chopped seafood definitely has calamari in it with mussels and all stirred up in a creamy pink sauce this is my FAV pasta choice And yes I almost always order this dish which is soooo against my normal rule of trying new thingsnnDont forget their bread which is baked freshly and a little tip dip it in their house salad dressing OMG it is awesome NOTE if you are allergic to garlic or do not like garlic or do not want to smell like garlic do not attempt this but then why on earth are you in an italian restaurantnnTheir other dishes are good too Pizza is huge and was told to be very authentic NY style At my old work we used to order them for lunch and the cheese would slide all over the place by the time I got it back to work because it is so fresh and hot hence I am not a pizza delivery personnnThis location is not as fancy looking but it is close to my home For more romantic outings you may want to drive a little further to the Park Road or Ayrsley location
