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

The food was great and the service was the best I have ever had shout out waiter Austin she definitely needs a raise signed Lennox

Pizza consists of quality mozzarella and sauce but there was an excessive amount of cheese that just rolled off the slice in globs in an attempt to fold it. The crust was tasty but not thin and crispy enough. read more

We were excited to try Portabellas since the new owners took over. We were so impressed, first with the genuine friendliness when you enter and the quaint ambiance. Then we were impressed with the Caesar salad. The dressing and croutons were delish! There were 3 of us and our entrees were the lasagna, which was very tasty and portioned just right. The garlic knot was great as well. Next my husband had the special pizza of the day called the Boudreaux. My hubby said it was the best pizza he has had since moving to Baldwin County 4 years ago (and he eats pizza out a lot!). Our son had the Chicken Caesar Salad and it was wonderful and wonderfully large enough to take some home. We split the Salted caramel cheesecake and as a cheesecake connoisseur, I can say it was one of the best I've ever tasted. Pam (one of the owners) was very personable and checked with each table to make sure all was well. Her husband (and chef) also checked on us at the end of our meal. Definitely on our Baldwin County favorites list going forward! read more

So we have not been here in years but remembered how good the pizza and lasagna ,chicken parm was , so today we decided to go back..we havent eaten out since covid very often..what a disappointment, the lasagna was tasty but tiny and drenched in cheese way too much ..the chicken parm hubby got was not a full piece of chicken but cut up pieces and some were dark meat, he was not happy ..sauce tasted good that's it he said..on to the pizza it looked like a hunk of cheese and in picking it up it was clearly not done , we tasted it and it tasted like raw dough and yeast so instead of complaining and having drama we brought it home recooked it , something I do not want to do thus the purpose of eating out..there was very little sauce on it so we took sauce from his food and mine and spread it on there.. it tasted better being cooked on the bottom..I doubt we will ever go back..and first few times we loved it .. the greeter was very friendly.. read more

The food is great but you never know when they are open. So it's not on the go to list of restaurants.

What a hidden wonderful surprise! We met friends for lunch and my husband's spaghetti & meatballs were as delicious as his favorite New York restaurant! My Greek salad with grilled chicken was fresh & delicious...enough for two meals! I must go back & try their chicken parmigiana! read more

The food was good and the service was great! A small restaurant that cares about their customers and makes delicious pizza and pastas. I ordered the small meat pizza and it was cooked right with plenty of toppings, and my wife enjoyed their special, the shrimp scampi. Could have had a touch more garlic, but everything tasted good! read more

The food was great and the service was very good also. Good portions for the pasta dishes and the pizza was awesome. Everything tasted like it was freshly made. Could tell the locals love this place and they love their customers. Can't wait to go back! read more

Food is always good, service is spot on! The parking can be a challenge but worth the time to find a spot. I would recommend stopping in if you are in the area. read more

Great, friendly service and delicious meals. It was full on Tuesday but, we only waited five minutes, a table was cleared and we had wine, eggplant, Caesar Salad, veal piccata that were all great! Highly recommend this place!! read more

A real gem! Foley Alabama has a few good pizza places, but this is by far our favorite. The sauce is delicious, a little sweet, but with a healthy note of garlic! The 5 cheese pizza is amazing all on its own, but when you build your own with their fresh ingredients it's heavenly. Their Italian food is excellent and the house wine is really tasty. The service was lovely, with the owner acting as the hostess. A fun place to be! read more

Great place and food. Hot when it was brought to our table. Great service as well. I would definitely recommend it.

The dough didn't really taste done . neither did the toppings . i just don't think it was cooked all the way through .

This place is a gem. Doesn't look like it from the outside but inside the food was yummy!!!! People were so nice and friendly. Definitely returning here. Loved it!" read more

I'll start off by saying the floor could use a good cleaning. Food, stains, and trash all over. Service was decent. Drink order went in quick as did our appetizer order. Both came out just as fast. The garlic knots tasted pretty good. We both ordered Alfredo pasta, shrimp for her and chicken for me. The Alfredo sauce was very bland. The pasta was cooked perfectly though. Some salt and pepper and parmesan definitely helped the flavor. A little disappointed with the Alfredo with this being a Italian restaurant. read more

One of my favorite lunch places. Obsessed with their spinach salad with shrimp. The food is all so delicious and reasonably priced.

Wow so much food and so Italian classy dishes! Small so don't be late it has an amazing chef . People are so nice and it's casual. Always a special always good. Lots of cheese and pasta sooooo good! If you like Italian it's the place to go and always different dishes! It's not an intimate place it's very open but small. One day soon I expect they will enlarge this place. read more

We dined at Portabellas for the first time this weekend and it was fabulous! Everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

We arrived around 4:30 on a Saturday night. We got seated immediately. Our server was very attentive. Our food was delicious! I had the chicken parmesan, one friend had the meat ball & marinara, a third friend had the Alfredo Pasta. We brought half of our meals home. The portions are generous. We shared the best tiramisu I have ever eaten. Then we each ordered a small pizza to take home for tomorrow. I recommend this restaurant when you are in Foley! It is worth your visit! read more

Food and the staff are both fabulous! One of our favorite places! Be sure and stop if in town or passing through read more

Absolutely fantastic Italian and Greek pasta and pizza in unassuming locale. The service is homey and perfect. The prices are insanely reasonable, if that's a thing. You really cannot go wrong here. read more

Wow! We've passed this little unassuming place so many times and never even noticed it. That all changed last night when I was craving pizza and some quality time with my sister-in-law. We ended up meeting at Portabellas. We started with baked cheese ravioli which comes with a bowl of the most delicious marinara sauce I've ever had in my life (and I make damn good marinara sauce and it's better than mine). The ravioli is not made fresh there but it had us fooled. It actually has ricotta and herbs in it. My SIL had French onion soup and it was amazing as well and came with little sliced baguette toast smothered with cheese. For our pizza we ordered the Lion, which was as carnivorous as it sounds. It was all out of this world! Actually, I used the pizza crust around the edges as breadsticks to eat with the rest of the marinara sauce. For dessert we tried a slice of tiramisu. I typically don't like tiramisu because I don't like coffee. This didn't have an overwhelming flavor of coffee. In fact, I couldn't even taste it. It was divine. Out total bill was around $30, which we thought was dirt cheap considering all of the delicious food we are. The service was great as well. I can definitely see us eating there more often. read more

Awesome food. You might be tempted to pass this place up because looks like a little hole in the wall but you will be missing some good food. Fresh ingredients, good hand tossed crust, real Italian sausage and so much more. We had house salad, spinach salad, meatball marinara, and pizza- all of it was great. Service was super friendly too. read more

Disappointed after reading all of the reviews. My wife and I visited yesterday, 12/27, having read such favorable reviews. He split a large greek salad, she had French onion soup and we followed by with chicken parmigiana, lasagna and split some lobster stuffed ravioli. The Greek salad was pretty good but needs more Feta cheese and an oil and vinegar dressing is what is called for but not offered. The French onion soup should not be on the menu. A good French onion is homemade and comes with a bread/cheese topping. This tasted more like a packet of French onion soup from the store, just uneventful. The lobster ravioli had a great taste but the Alfredo sauce, well, I've tasted better at Olive Garden. Speaking of sauce, personally, I like the red sauce from Olive Garden much better too. The lasagna was an excellent recipe, and the chicken parmigiana was cooled very well, but both of us felt the red sauce is degradation of quality feed. In fact, I brought home leftovers and stopped at Public for some Paul Newman's own, which had more taste than what Portabella offered. It is not the worst Italian I've had in the area, Franco's is much worse since their ownership change, but I will not return due to what my wife and I felt was a terrible red sauce. read more

What an incredible authentic Italian meal! What ever they have going on back there in the kitchen is really something special! I ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs with a House Salad. The salad was fresh and crisp - no bagged lettuce here. The Ranch dressing was cool and creamy, complimenting the taste of each vegetable in the salad. And OMG, the star of the show was really the Spaghetti & Meatballs. The sauce really stands out on it's own, dancing across the palette with just the right amount of heat. The Angel Hair Pasta was done perfectly. And the meatballs, oh the meatballs! Two large home made flavorful meatballs so perfect that they, too, could stand on their own. I really felt like someone's great-grandmother from the old neighborhood was back there in the kitchen. My only regret is that I didn't order a second round to go so I could send myself home with a care package. read more

It is a small place but I really love the food! The lobster ravioli is excellent! Also love the lasagna.

Food is great and consistently great. Staff are friendly and keep your glass full. We try to go once each week. Highly recommended

By far the best place to eat at in Foley. The owner/chef does an impeccable job with his food and restaurant. I've been coming here for nearly 4 years and he's always consistent and courteous. Fresh food that's healthy and full of flavor. So thankful he's local and maintains such a high standard for his staff and quality. You won't go wrong eating here. Like ever. read more

Best Italian I've had in a long time. Definitely a small hole in the wall restaurant but don't let that deter you. Food is amazing and the staff is awesome. Thank you for treating us like family. 5 stars read more

I ordered a Magnolia Springs pizza which per menu has pesto, artichoke hearts and chicken. The pizza I got with our take order was full of cheese, pepperoni and olives. My husband said she read the order back as a MS pizza. When I called, near their closing time, the worker argued that she verified that it was a MS pizza before he paid. Then when I told her the real pizza I got, she said that was a verfied Mardi Gras pizza. By then I was angry and used a juvenile expletive. She said what did I want. No offer. I said I wanted the pizza I ordered. She ok, when did I want to pick it up. I said noon. We will see if it is as good as the salad I did get to eat tonight. They made the mistake but she did not want admit it. read more

The team there flat out rocks. Dine in or take out, you will find the best. I simply can not say enough good things about them. The food is to perfection, they are timely, courteous, and helpful. read more

Excellent service, the food is very good, and probably the best Italian in Foley. Wish we had a little bit more space and a better waiting area but other than that it was very good! Highly recommend. read more

Wonderful food! Great service! The marinara sauce and their pizza and Greek salad is awesome !! Brandy took really good care of us!!! We will be back. We actually try and go there every time we come down to Gulf Shores. My boyfriend loves the lasagna as well. Thank you Portabellas for a authentic Italian off the beaten path. read more

Great food, great prices, great service... the holy grail of a great restaurant. And their paper/foam/plastic products are top notch too ;)

This was awesome dining experience food was amazing I had the "Lion" pizza and my wife had the Chicken fettuccine and they were both amazing, make sure you leave space for dessert as the the are worth the extra spurge. Megan was a delight and made feel right as did the owner who checked on us several times. This is where the locals go as many customers coming in were greeted by name and one couple asked for the usual and bowls of soap appeared shortly there after. read more

Absolutely wonderful hidden gem. It is small but worth the wait. Definitely beats Lamberts for our foley trips.

We've been there twice and I can't say it's great or awful. The first time we got a pizza and it was good but not my favorite. The second time we got two entrees, the lasagna and spaghetti with a few meatballs. Both were edible but not that good. However, the side salad with strawberries, glazed pecans, etc with strawberry vinaigrette was very good. I'm not sure if we will go back. read more
