Everything was truly so delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. I had the rigatoni vodka and they let me swap out the rigatoni for angel hair pasta. Also started with a Caesar salad, which was basic but very satisfying and the perfect size for a starter. Such a great Italian spot, thanks for a great experience for our family!

Food came quickly. I called an order and it was there in less than 30 minutes. Ordering and talking…read moreover the phone was nice. I ordered one large pizza plain. Two cheesesteaks. One cheesesteak with mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, fried onions, well done toasted roll . Never ordered here so I didn't know what to expect. I opened it up and it was a lot of steak, which was great. It had everything I ordered didn't leave anything out. It looked great. It taste great. It was so unbelievably good. Being from southwest Philly it's hard to find a good cheesesteak around here anymore and this is my go to place now. And the pizza was very tasty. Yum Yum Yum..!!!! I ordered here three times after the first time and I never had a problem. It was always great.. 5 Stars.!!!!! Thanks Sammy Kobielnik Jr.

I met a helpful sommelier whose parents emigrated from Italy to Philadelphia. Looking for the…read moreinside scoop, I asked what his favorite Italian restaurant is. Portobello Cafe. So we went! The restaurant has a charming and casual vibe. Both gentlemen tending the floor are from Italy, adding an air of authenticity. You can choose to sit outdoors -- I really like the way the patio is arranged --or in the cozy dining room. Once seated, you're brought a plate of roasted peppers and a basket of hard rolls. I sprinkled olive oil and grated salt on the plate, which proved a good idea with the peppers and rolls. There were a number of appetizer specials, but we went with a basic Caesar salad. One order, pre-apportioned in the kitchen, was perfect for the two of us. I ordered branzino as an entree T, linguini Pescatore. The whole fish is brought out and fileted tableside. While I took a photo, it was just one unflattering shot of the head (which I'm not posting.) The branzino was mild and flakey, good, though the seasoning didn't break through the skin rendering it a little bland. Excellent grilled potatoes and vegetables completed my dinner. My husband's linguini was delish; while the pasta isn't made in house, it tasted like it could be, served al dente, of course. The tomato sauce was spicy enough to bring the dish over the top. Portobello is byob. (Another Yelper mentioned an $8 corkage fee, but unless they forgot to charge us, they disbanded the policy.) After our meal, with takeout box packed -- there was a lot of fish -- we were offered amaretto as a digestif. A nice touch! The restaurant isn't all that convenient to where we live but we enjoyed dinner enough to warrant a repeat visit. Next time I'll try something Italian. Or maybe salmon, which looked pretty good. Reservations suggested, particularly on weekends.

We didn't have reservations but were still able to sit outside on their enclosed patio with a tinkling fountain. We were delighted to find on a Wednesday that they were still having happy hour specials all day and even had a 3-course price fixed. My daughter and I loved the Gondola Ride with citrus vodka and limoncello. It was a refreshing, summertime drink. For the 3-course price fixed, we tried the lasagna noodle soup which was unique and delicious. My corn cappellacci (not on the price-fixed menu) was a new entree. The pasta was light and airy, and the corn and shrimp made it a tasty dish perfect for a summer night. For dessert, the gelato twist with banana was heavenly. Our lovely server even made sure to put a birthday candle in our daughter's dessert as it was her birthday. We'll be back!
