I had meatball marinara with angel hair. The marinara was very tasty without any acidic harshness. The meatballs were of medium size and sumptuous having no heavy handed spices. read more

The New owner/chef is from new Orleans! Absolutely wonderful food! I ordered the triggerfish that was fresh caught this morning, the spinach artichoke dip was delicious. Pizza was great as well!

The only thing better than the smell of the food is the actual taste of it! I had the chicken parm and it was amazing. Garlic knots are savory and the marinara is delish:) Others at our table had the pizza and the chicken Alfredo, both were happy with their selections. Small inside but, very cozy and both the hostess and the waitress were very welcoming and warm. Highly recommend. read more

The Resturant is small but the food is very, very good. It's easy to mess-up eggplant parmigiana, but it has been perfect every time. My husband loves the spaghetti and meatballs. If you - go early or u will have to wait. If u have to wait, it will be worth it. read more

Fast, friendly service. Great food. In an area with so many chain restaurants and fried seafood joints, it's a treat to find such a unique, homey, and welcoming spot. I recommend the L. A. (Lower Alabama) Pasta. It's an unexpectedly-perfect mash-up of penne, sauce, and a local smoked sausage. It tastes great with marinara or alfredo. The spinach salad with green onion dressing, bruschetta, and the limoncello cake are must-haves, too! We'll be back! read more

Me and my fiance LOVE this place. The food is very good and people are the sweetest! highly recommend this place

Great food, great service and great prices! Some of the best pizza in the area. Nice, cozy atmosphere.

My brother suggested this restaurant on the spur of a moment after shopping at Tanger Outlet Mall in Foley. It was packed out, loud and happily noisy for a change. Three of us ordered different tastes, Alfredo Chicken, Chicken Pamrsen, and Chicken Chatagorie in 3 ounce portions. It was just right with a side garden salad. Our waitress knew the menu very well and a offered other specials of the day for good prices. Quick service. read more

We came to Gulf Shores last year and were crushed when we passed through Foley and saw that Portabellas had closed. On our way down this year I joked with my wife that all I wanted was to pass through Foley and see this place up and running again as it was before. And it was so... Same amazing Italian food at a price that doesn't seem right. Same amazing service from familiar faces. Same best kept secret, hole in the wall atmosphere that makes you feel like you found the diamond in the rough. Wear a tie or wear a Tshirt. Just make sure you come hungry. I recommend their French onion soup. Any of their pizzas, the lobster ravioli, and their tiramisu. read more

First time back since new owners took over. Food is still excellent, service great, and the atmosphere is much more inviting.

The salad is amazing. I had a small Greek salad and my husband and I split the French onion soup (a must) and we got a small pizza. Our food was fantastic and the location is great. It is a small place but even if you have to wait it is worth it. Our waitress was super attentive. She kept our beers coming in frosty mugs! Definitely coming back. read more

Had such a good meatball sub sandwich and It was so good definitely recommend service was great too!

I don't know what to say! This place was hands down THE BEST Italian food I have ever had! The service is wonderful from the time you walk in until you leave! It's a small place with very cute and quaint decor, soft Italian music playing in the background and just an over all warm romantic atmosphere! Portions are huge! My husband got the meatballs and I made a build your own pizza! Both were amazing! Best meatballs and pizza I have ever had! read more

I love supporting our local businesses. We usually order a large Greek salad and Lion pizza to go and it is always good. The interior is small and loud so I prefer to take it to go. Hopefully enough of us will support them and they can increase their interior dining area. read more

Amazing and friendly staff especially with take out. The lady helping was very friendly and helpful. Then the food... omg it was amazing the portions were large and had plenty for leftovers We will be back again and again ! read more

I've eaten hear a couple of times now. The food is very good. Not much for atmosphere, but I'd rather have a nice meal. The large spaghetti with meatballs is huge. Enough for 2 really. Included 6 large meatballs. The house salad has a lot of ingredients and worth the $3.95 add-on. Very friendly service. Not very many tables, so plan accordingly. Enjoy! read more

too expensive and not consistent at all-do yourself a favor and buy canned ravioli and add cheeses and spices for a better italian experience-save yourself money and time and have an always consistently good outcome!! read more

We went to Portabella's for dinner and I was astonished at how bad we were treated. I had the Chicken Parm and it was not very good . The sauce was bland and the chicken was terrible. My wife ordered pizza and wanted olive salad as one of the toppings. When she received the pizza the olive salad was obviously just a poor attempt at olive salad . It was just a few olives thrown on the pizza. We asked the waitress for help and she was obviously overwhelmed. She did nothing. So we said something again and nobody wanted to address the problem. After about four attempts at trying to get what we ordered finally a lady emerged and told us yes that was not olive salad. Maybe you shouldn't advertise your great olive salad in your menu if you are not going to let your employees know what it is. Obviously the owner and management staff at this restaurant are sub-par. Oh the lady that emerged was the owner. She said that they would cook a new pizza . Okay and while I am eating my food in front of my wife. Our nice little dinner was ruined in my eyes and my wife was preturbed at how much effort it took to just get the order right. After all of this we were wondering what would be a correct compensation for ruining our evening. I thought at least half of our bill. When the owner came back with our pizza she said she would take 10 percent off of our meal. We were not satisfied. So I tried to ask her if she thought that was fair for ruining our meal and our evening. The owner here obviously does not care about new customers. I was always told when I worked in the restaurant business that the customer is always right. When I asked her if she thought that was fair , she snapped at us and said " WELL YOU DONT HAVE TO COME BACK IF YOU DONT WANT TO" I did not know what to say. We will never go back there and we tell all our friends not to go. read more

Hole in the wall - delicious fresh Italian! Great service. Love the environment. Glad we stopped read more

Portabellas - The Foley - Italian Near Me - Foley, Alabama

See all

THEY'RE BACK! As of yesterday this address of gustatory distinction and venerable kindliness has reopened with the same lovely and talented personnel! Yes, it's noisy when crowded but that's a small price to pay for dependably delicious food. I'd rather be here than any of the toffee-nosed git emporiums scattered throughout Fairhope. Welcome yourself back to Portabella's with a smile and a hearty post-feast Rabelaisian belch. Just not on Sunday or Monday and maybe save the Medieval sound effects for when you're alone, you tankard-waving gourmand! read more

The is the best restaurant we have visited since moving to Foley. Nice staff, great food. It will be a regular for sure

Food is made from scratch, service is excellent and ambience is great with the music playing softly.
