Every time we come to this convenient restaurant we find that the food and service improves. A rainy night and not in the mood to cook at home, so there we were, Portofino's. 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. read more

First time at this location. Everything was excellent! The tomato sauce was a very good consistency and a flavor that I have not tasted in this area. The flavor was very authentic New York. Our server was excellent! We hope to make this a regular dinner spot. Don't skip the garlic bread with cheese! read more

One of my absolute favorite spots in Charlotte for pizza. Closest to New York style that you can get, the sauce is amazing. The service is excellent and always on time. Absolutely love this place especially coming from a Jersey girl who's used to the best when it comes to dough.. :) and their sauce is absolute perfection, read more

Food is delicious and plentiful, and the service is always very good! Nice relaxing atmosphere. Give them a try!

Pizza was horrible. Sauce has no flavor. The seafood salad was the same. tasted like all the seafood was boiled in water then tossed over a wilted salad. Save your money. read more

Ordered 3 pizzas online and picked them up in person. Got 2 large, one pepperoni and another with sausage/mushroom/bacon. Also got a Sicilian. Fed family of 8 with several left over slices. My fave by far was the sausage/mushroom/bacon - so good!! The bacon flavor really came through. The restaurant is nice inside and had a screened in patio too. Prices were okay, could be more competitive. I'll definitely eat here on occasion. read more

The meal just wasn't very good. The chicken was tough, and it didn't compare to my experiences at the Indian Land and Arboretum locations. This visit was a disappointment. read more

Got takeout on Saturday night - everything was ready early which was awesome. I loved the beef ravioli (add spinach and mushrooms for some veggies!). Husband had the baked ziti - huge portion! FIL had primavera penne which is also a favorite of mine and he was pleased. Nice fresh salads and bread. read more

First time here for my daughter's birthday. To our family this was a big deal.. Most of us ordered Ceasar salads but they were all served with mozzarella cheese. It didn't make any sense at all. It was rather disgusting to have but chunks of wet cheese on top of a Ceasar Salad Additionally the only Parmesan T they have an available is the powdered one that are sitting in jars on the tables. Not sure if these get store properly or if they still have flavor. I have never been to an Italian restaurant (not pizza joint) that does not have shredded Parmesan available and especially for Ceasar Salads read more

Sicilian Pizza is excellent! Just like up North, so glad I found my comfort food. Went with a group of 20 and the service was as fabulous as the food. Couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

Been here a few times. They use canned mushrooms on their pizzas and in their dishes like the Masala...very hit or miss quality preparation...not going back anymore. read more

This is our go to take-out restaurant for pretty decent, for the south, Italian food. We usually get their chicken marsala dinner. It comes with a nice size garden salad and bread. read more

Excellent Italian food & great service as well. This is our "go to" place for both pizza & other Italian dishes. Nice atmosphere inside as well. read more

Always delicious and all of the servers are friendly and attentive. We go about 2-3 times per month and have never been disappointed. We have taken our family as well and everyone loves the food. read more

The food is not good. The restaurant was friendly and clean but the food was not good. The bread was like a hotdog roll, the brushetta was on soggy bread and the pasta and sauce was a very sweet red sauce without meat and the texture was off. read more

Tonight my wife and I ventured out to Portofino's . It was one of our favorites when we lived here. Tonight we were accompanied by our son and two grandchildren. Besides the pizza and one hotdog the food really wasn't that good. The atmosphere was live and they were busy, but that being said my sausage was cold and undercooked. ( dangerous ) Our waiter was efficient but never one smile. ( they were busy ) We don't live here anymore so returning won't be soon. Used to be phenomenal???? read more

cashier insisted my payment did not go through and required a second form of payment. I assured him that it went through and now I have paid twice for my carry out. Unacceptable. Poor customer service. read more

First off, our waitress was nothing less than excellent. She was wonderful, caring, and quite awesome. As for the food - that's where it goes downhill. My daughter had the Arrabiata. After two bites, she was pretty much done with it. I tasted it and it was def not good. Rather than thinly sliced bits of prosciutto, as one would expect, it was more like a blob of terrible tasting prosciutto. I ordered the Antipasto salad. It wasn't anything to write home about. Though it was beautiful when it came to the table, the flavor was not good, and again, I feel like the prosciutto is just horrible quality. As for their Italian dressing - they should really be ashamed of that - it's terrible. Honestly, every time we've eaten at the Arboretum Portofino's in Charlotte, it has always been great. I would have thought this newer location in Indian Land would be the same. I could not have been more wrong. read more

Really great service and food. After reading the reviews we avoided this restaurant for a while. My son and I went in for a quick meal and it was really a treat. The pizza was hot, fresh and delicious. I couldn't decide on a pasta dish and the server basically explained that they can put together any combination as they make your dish to order. I went with a bolognese ziti with meatballs. It was delicious. Sure not the best I've ever had but certainly up there. The tiramisu was probably the best I ever had! No kidding read more

The food and atmosphere was excellent. We really enjoyed the service... they make you feel part of the family. read more

Came here for lunch a couple times. I love that they have such a wide variety of pastas to choose from, not just the toppings and sauce, but also the type of noodles. You can choose between cappellini, linguini, fettuccini, penne, or spaghetti for all of your classic Italian pasta dishes. It would be nice if the options included a side salad or soup, or at least for a lunch combo, but instead, these come at an extra charge. The salad is nice, but it's not really worth an extra $4-5. Also, a lot of the menu items on the lunch menu seem just as pricey as it would be for a dinner item. Regardless, I did still enjoy my Shrimp Scampi ($15.95). It came with 5 juicy, gigantic pieces of shrimp and TONS of tomatoes. I have never seen so much tomato served in a shrimp scampi, nor have I seen such large chunks with it - something to keep in mind if you are looking to avoid heartburn. The Tiramisu is worth trying too. It's a great size to share and overall, it was pretty good. Only problem was that ours was heavily dusted with cocoa powder, which is very dry to swallow, so it caused me to choke every so often. read more

Pretty solid Italian food. It isn't super upscale or anything but is great for a weeknight or casual meal. Haven't had a bad experience here. Prices are good too read more

5 hours ago I guess since we ordered right before closing someone decided to punish us with a Stromboli stuffed with a ton of raw onion and rotten ham. Someone took the time to place a ton of raw onion right down the middle... very funny... and Yep, rotten ham..... that smelled like shit... literally. Yall keep that under the sink? It was supposed to be Prosciutto but you know us Southerners don't know the difference, right? And no I've never tasted shit before but my nose told my taste buds to pull the shit file from my brain‍ Spinach instead of arugula... again us dumb ass Southerners. They got us good... never again. read more

Portofino's - Small Stromboli... this is the amount of raw onion on just half. Consider yourself fortunate you can't smell the purple meat. - Pizza Near Me - Indian Land, South Carolina

Huge portions of flavorful ITALIAN food. Their bread is addicting so beware. We dined on Frutti de Mare, trio tour and penne ala vodka. All 3 were great and tasted great. You must stop in for a bite. read more

The Pizza, service and ambiance was great. We went as a family. But seems like a good place for a date night. The staff impressed me.

Friday night family pizza night and Portifinos was a great spot to go. While they have so many wonderful food options, pizza is the way to go. We ordered a margarita pizza and a half pepperoni/half sausage pizza. Both were great. Our server was fantastic. I wish I could have remembered her name as she deserves a shoutout. read more

2nd time to visit with my friends dinner date couples. We are super upset it took almost close to 1 hour waiting for our food to come, and then the servers keep coming to our table asking are you guys doing alright maybe 3x to asked, and we were answered waiting for the food to come for 3x to answered that question. I was so disappointed to suggest this restaurant to my friends it turn to bad mood because of longer wait for the food to served. The special dish of the night special ravioli $30 dish was not good still cold in the middle not cooked well, my friend stop eating. All of us not take home the leftovers food. Never come back again off the list. read more

Good food and service. Consistently good and prices are reasonable. Prefer the arboretum or park road locations best.

Excellent food. Great pizza and pasta. We order takeout all the time since we live very close. Highly recommend for great Italian food.

We had catering for my Moms 91st birthday and had their house salad with house dressing (wow I wish they would share the recipe) along with a large tray of lasagna- oh my it was fantastic! Everyone loved both - and we had tons of leftovers- will plan to eat there again! Thank you chefs! Great service too! read more

I judge Italian restaurants by their chicken marsala. Portofino's at Indian Land had an outstanding version. It's not a high end environment, but it was very pleasant. The service was fine, the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend it. read more

I enjoy this restaurant. Excellent pizza with good sauce and good roasted red peppers. All entree selections are of good quality and tasty. My go to place for an easy midweek meal or carry out. read more

Just ok. Nothing at all to write home about. Won't be back. Food was ho hum and service was just ok.

Went on a double date dinner before a movie (which was in the same parking lot) and was absolutely blown away with the quality of the food. I had the veal Gorgonzola. My wife had the Stromboli. The couple we went with had a Hawaiian pizza and the chicken pasta special. I was blown away at the quality of ingredients and how authentic the food and service was. I felt like I was in an Italian families home. I absolutely 10 out of 10 recommend this place. Do not eat Italian ANYWHERE else in the area but here. 100% read more

Service is terrible Couldn't even get the waiter to come and collect check for credit card payment. We just finally gave up on waiting for him and paid cash and gave bill to hostess at door. Food was just ok. We got pizza. Just average not a lot of flavor. Oh and you can forget about getting a refill or that second glass of wine. Waiter never comes around to check or ask. read more

First time here and my pizza was great! The greeter was so warm and welcoming and all was well until I got to the bar(sat there while waiting for my order)....she was rude and appeared bothered by my presence. read more

Chicken Piccata was very good Garlic bread was tasty and delicious Pizza was a real treat and was among best read more

This was our second visit to this restaurant. The food and portion size was good, and service was wonderful. The place is very nice and clean. My only complaint is that the lasagna did NOT have any ricotta cheese in it. It was a little surprising to me being of Italian decent (we love our ricotta!). The meat in the lasagna was a little too ground up for the me and flavor wasn't there. It may be a personal thing for me; but this is an Italian restaurant and I am not sure they even use garlic in this recipe as I didn't taste it at all. Also, garlic knots would be welcomed instead of the bread sticks. Just my thoughts. read more

Our server, Sharlot was amazing. The ambiance was mellow and cozy. The clam chowder was soupy and had very few clams. The shrimp scampi was good, just be sure to have it witg linguini. Otherwise it's soupy too. read more

To be fair it's one of my favorite restaurants chain love the food and service in that location however I would like to give some head's up to management to reconsider giving the check to guests sitting in the bar area once the meal is served and wait till they ask for the check to avoid having the guest feeling they are being rushed to leave the other suggestion is to dedicate a table on the floor for the staff to take their break and eat their meals and watch their videos on their phones instead of having them sitting at the bar with customers eating and drinking specially if they are under age hope this help read more
