They had like a variety of about a dozen pies to select slices from or order off the menu. There are no little signs to tell you what each is which could be done to improve and less questions about what someone wants. Here's the trick about the menu - need to pull it up on the phone or grab a leaflet. There's no board to understand the toppings. They are still learning how to setup the fountain drinks so opt for a beverage from the cooler. The Coke 0 and Diet Coke had syrup issues. They were busy so no one was cleaning the dining room. There were multiple tables w/cups w/used cups and food remnants. Like everywhere suffering from a lack of staffing. We will be back. Solid freshman visit.

He & the Fam typically order 'to go' or 'door dash' but we decided to check it out as a change-up. We got there about 645p on Wednesday and the parking lot was 'JAMMED'. The other notable stops in this small strip center are Lore Brewing and Master O's Martial Arts so I was kinda surprised. We were not aware they were doing their Wednesday Music Bingo night which started at 7p but it was fun and entertaining and paired well with our pizza and beverages. They do multiple rounds and start by awarding Empire gift cards for $10, then $20, then $25.00 and then the round that everyone waits around for. The MAIN attraction final round, the winner will win $250.00 CASH. You guess just the name of the song and fill ALL 50 squares. Ben had the Popeye pizza and I had the Chef Salad. We both agreed the food is good and reasonable priced. Good service for being as busy as it was. Every member of the Staff was hustling all evening. IF you go on Wednesday evening, be prepared, the parking LOT is packed. People were cruising the lot hoping to find a spot as someone was leaving. The closer you get to 7p, the harder it is to get a table. Life in the post COVID world feels like we're getting closer to fine.

Good server, Aryanna, will never gain weight as she is constantly moving and sincerely tending to the needs of her multiple tables taking care of things with her genuine desire to make your experience special. Thank you Aryanna. I had Shrimp Scampi ($19.70) on linguini pasta (you can choose your pasta) and a small salad with house dressing. All one price. It was excellent...no need to "get a box". Wife had Tortellini Alfredo ($18.95) with Italian dressing on her side salad, and she did need a box, as the portion could easily feed two people. We two had the left-overs for lunch the next day. No extra charge for the fresh baked, warm, basket of rolls or a clean, well-served, table. They do have a separate pizza business that punches out some really good pies. Can order by phone and pick up to take home, or sit, order and eat inside. Plenty of parking as Portofino's is in a shopping center.

We made a reservation because we weren't sure how crowded it would be on a Saturday night. Reservations weren't really necessary as the place was not busy. We weren't sure the dress code either, hard to gather from their website. We went business casual but we could have just done in our Saturday afternoon casual as it's not upscale but neighborhood comfortable. The decor is honestly pretty bland. Everything was just gray and there were no pops of color anywhere. The lighting was cool and the wine wall was nice but it just didn't have much character. We were greeted quickly by our server who was polite but not overly friendly. She gave us the drink specials and we got started with a few beers. A runner brought a basket of warm bread and butter which is always a nice start. We ordered the garlic bread and the zucchini fritti for appetizers. They came out quickly and presented nicely. The garlic cheese bread wasn't very garlicky, had more of a rosemary flavor so it wasn't our favorite. The zucchini was shaved and had a nice flavor. Because it was so small it was kind of hard to eat. I like my zucchini with some ranch and we asked for some and kind of got a weird reception from the kitchen staff. I mean we are in the south people - ranch is a staple! For entrees we tried a few different things. We had the white pizza, the chicken francese, the chicken crusted Romano, and the sliced beef rib cut. All the dishes came out warm and with nice presentation. The pizza was the most lackluster. It was just average and did not have much flavor. The crusted chicken Romano was a highlight with a nice flavor from the vodka sauce. The other two dishes tasted good but were nothing amazing. The mashed potatoes were the best side dish. The roasted potatoes were a bit on the burnt side and lacked any real seasoning. We had an overall pleasant experience but will not rush back to this spot. If you are in the neighborhood I'm sure it's convenient but if you want a great Italian meal this would not be my recommendation.

I can confirm, the pizza is legit. I ordered two slices because of a video the owner posted regarding how to properly judge a slice. The pizza was incredible. Crispy flavorful and very reminiscent of a New York slice. I was happy. What is upsetting is knowing that this spot has been here for years, and this is my first time there. I'm disappointed myself. If you want a great slice of pizza, this is my new number one spot in Charlotte. The owner is actually on site, cooking, cleaning, serving, and ringing customers up. How can you not respect that?

Steven S took care of us and we were the only customers for a bit and then two tables of four came in. Wife had spaghetti and meatballs ($9.99). Portion was very large, so over half of it came home with us. She liked it. I did a Philly Cheesesteak Hero ($15.99) and it was really good. The onions and green peppers were nicely grilled and not just mixed into the meat and cheese, like we have experienced elsewhere. Beverage was $3. A good place for a meal. I think we will be back.

Lunch is your better bet. Excellent menu of basic Italian and Italian-American eats. We very much like their pizzas and salads. Over time, they have added to their wine list and put in a few more desserts. I treasure start-ups that become destinations. Rizzo's will probably never get a Micheline star, but in the surrounding area, it is still a star.
