Problem: I'm new to the city and this was a great find. The service for my take out order was fantastic, and I got my food with little wait. I ordered the Rice Noodle dish with chicken and vegetables, and I have to say it's the best version of this dish I've ever had. I will definitely come back to try other dishes and the sushi. Excellent!

Problem: Gross! Bland deli meat on bland sub bread with bland toppings. Was it food? Yes. So I guess it requires stars.

Problem: We went here for lunch the other day. It was busy, and seemed like a lot of business people came here for lunch. I took that as a good sign, since they chose to come to Portofino's over several good options pretty close by. Unfortunately, I don't agree with their choice. Our waiter was friendly enough, kind of a low talker, but otherwise the service was fine. We had the buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes for an appetizer. It was good, though I would have real issues with a restaurant that could mess THAT up. For lunch, I ordered the Ravioli special, my husband had a chicken parmesan sub and my mom-in-law had a salad with salmon and their house dressing. My meal bordered on gross. It looked like they had taken all of the different ravioli left over from dinner the night before, put them on a plate, then smothered them in a creamy basil sauce with way too many olives and roasted red peppers, so that they were unrecognizable. There was way too much going on on that plate. I like all of the things separately, but together, none of the flavors were distinguishable when it was all together. There were heart-shaped mushroom ravioli, huge round meat-pie ravioli, smaller round cheese ravioli, and square sausage ravioli. Doesn't that sound like whatever they had left over was what went on the plate? The sauce was really gross looking: vomit-like in color and texture. The salad looked fresh, and got reviews of "good." Jim's sandwich was good as well, though he said he would get something else next time. The table next to us ordered pizza, which looked good. I'll probably try that if we go back. The other thing about Portofino's that I didn't like, was the noise level. Normally in a restaurant, even a busy one, I can concentrate on our conversation and not hear others (unless I was trying :) ). But this was a very loud lunchtime service, so I wouldn't recommend going there for a business meeting that you would like to pay attention to, or an intimate lunchtime date.
