Have been to Portofino's countless times. Amazing new updates to the dining areas. Service is always top notch and the food never disappoints. There is always consistency with anything more routinely ordered and even the busiest servers work their tails off to continually ensure expectations are exceeded. This is a go to Italian restaurant I would highly recommended. read more

Food is good, prices are a tad high, ambiance's is nice. Biggest complaint here is it takes FOREVER to get your food.

Crowded, overpriced, and just average food. The calamari was rubbery and the bread stale. Parking is limited. They had two parties while I was there which made the place extremely noisy - put up barriers or close the place for the night. read more

Food: I came here with my boyfriend for dinner without a reservation and we were lucky they were able to take us in on a busy Saturday night. The bread was fresh and I was thoroughly impressed with their pear salad. The veal and Parmesan pasta was exquisite. They give big portions too which I absolutely love huge portions and having some leftovers. I would recommend trying what I ordered or anything from this restaurant. Service: the waiter was polite and went out of his way to split the salad into two plates because my boyfriend and I wanted to share it. Ambiance: The ambiance felt great. It was a busy Saturday at around 8:30 pm. I didn't know you can bring your own bottle but it's okay we ordered soft drinks to drink with our meal. 10/10 restaurant recommendation read more

Everything aspect of this operation and food is outstanding. Love the pizza. Always order from the specials. Service is impeccable!! read more

Waited for 1 hour for our food to come out, it still had not been served so we left. Waitperson appeared to take order right away and never saw her again. Worst experience we have ever had at a restaurant would rate it a 0 star if I could read more

The food was awesome. The pear salad with fig had a fantastic melding of flavors. And the Rotini allá Michael was delicious. So plentiful that it was also lunch. The service was very attentive. The ambiance was cozy, but it didn't feel like you were too close to other diners. read more

Consistently good Italian food with great specials. The service is always super friendly and welcoming. We know we can go here for a good meal! Definitely need a reservation, it's always packed, and it's byob! Highly recommend. We have never had a bad bowl of pasta here. read more

Great place, great service, great bartenders, outstanding food. One of my 'go to' places.

Food and service were phenomenal. My husband and I were supposed to go with our kids but had to do take out instead. Food was fresh and delicious. My husband said it was the best take out he has ever had. And gave it a 10 out of 10! We got chicken parmesan and the cheese wheel pasta. read more

Classic Italian with good portions of food. It was strange there was no choice of pasta with entrées they just gave you linguini without asking you what you wanted. Service was good; they forgot my cappuccino. Nice decor. We shared a beet salad for appetizer that had arugula, beets and pecans. I had the Veal Sorrentino for my entrée which was enough for two small meals. We shared peanut butter chocolate cake for dessert which was pretty good too. BYOB read more

Sharon N. I've had fabulous meals at Portofino's on previous visits, and the staff has always been kind and attentive. Unfortunately, my experience on 9/27/25 was disappointing. The restaurant was hosting a party that evening, and while I understand they were busy, I felt regular guests deserved more consistent attention as well. The staff was attentive in serving bread, appetizers, and meals, which arrived promptly, and the food itself was quite good--the appetizer especially, was delicious. However, smaller details were overlooked, such as refilling water glasses. More disappointing was that the cappuccinos were mostly foam with very little drink, and the carrot cake tasted stale. While I know Portofino's is capable of excellence, this visit fell short of expectations. It may be some time before I return. read more

My wife and I went to Portofino's many years ago and the dinner wasn't what we expected. The meals were poorly cooked and unimpressive but the place is always packed so maybe it was an aberration. I tried the take out and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich, which was perfectly cooked and a side of fries that were good. The service was very good - I was greeted pleasantly at the door and LOVED the complementary bread. Only negative would be no napkin in the bag. I might be willing to give the place a try again. read more

After reading the reviews I was a bit apprehensive about trying Portofino's. Our experience was excellent. Had a 5:30 pm reservation on a Saturday night. We were promptly seated by Rich who was very pleasant. Our waitress (RoseAnn) was very efficient and friendly. We had chicken Marsala and chicken Milanese. Both were very good. Took home a tiramisu for dessert. The ambiance at the restaurant was very nice. There was outside sitting but at 5:30 pm in late June it was too hot to be outside. Overall we had a very nice dinner at a reasonable price for Morristown. read more

We had the opportunity to try Portofinos Saturday night. We were once "Friday nite patrons". Not knowing what to expect since ( it's) changed owners we'd figure we'd give it a try. The wait staff was quick to take our app order and then our dinner order. The apps came out fairly soon, but our dinner took about an hour. The staff was attentive with water, bread and pouring wine but honestly dinner took too long However, when it did come it was HOT, and truly delicious. In all fairness t there was not an empty table and there was a large table of at least 15 people. Perhaps they were understaffed, or the kitchen staff was short. The outcome was a delicious dinner. read more

The food here was spectacular. The portions were abundant and very fairly priced. The servers were organized and kind. Only slight complaint is that the food took a while to come out but it was worth the wait. I had the best cake slice I've ever eaten and it was the lemon blueberry one. I also got the angel hair with seafood and it was rich and creamy. Would love to come back again... and soon... read more

I just had Lisa cater my Grand Opening Party and it was amazing . Everyone raved about and we had a bunch of foodies who attended, plus enough of the food. We were all stuffed by the end. The service was incredible and the presentation was great. Thank you so much for making it a successful day! Now I just need to plan another party read more

My SO and I visited Portofino's for a date night during the week and we absolutely loved it. I had made reservations earlier in the day, just in case, but there was plenty of seating before it got busy for a Thursday night. The restaurant was a great size, offering a more intimate setting while also leaving you spaced out enough that you're not on top of other tables. The service was fantastic, everyone we interacted with made sure we had everything we needed without frequent visits. The restaurant is also BYOB, so make sure to bring a bottle if you'd like to imbibe. We were able to park in their small lot that's available, but most of the spots were taken already at 7. Our burrata appetizer was incredibly fresh and beautifully plated, while our entrees were also flavorful and delicious. The prices were very fair for the portion sizes as we both took home our leftovers. read more

Consistently good food, great service, pleasant dining room. Can't recommend it highly enough!

A huge thanks to the staff at Portofino's. Was in Morristown for the Verizon Corporate Classic and was one of the parents overlooking a bunch teenagers who volunteered. At the conclusion of the race, our group pretty much took over their outdoor seating area to treat the kids with some pizza. Having been to events were large amounts of pizza are are served, I know it could be hit or miss when it comes to tasty pizza with freshness being not east to manage. I must say, they knocked it out of the park with fresh pizza that was warm and tasty. After a busy night, I can only imagine the last thing the staff wanted was a large group invading their dinning room when they were so close to going home. Despite our group size and pizza only order, thr staff was awesome. The outdoor dinning area was perfect atmosphere for our group. Did not explore their menu any further but would definitely return for a nice outdoor patio experience bringing my favorite bottle (quick disclaimer- pretty sure it's byob ) read more

We went there last night at 4:30. I asked to be seated outside when I made the reservation. They refused saying it would get too cold. It was 80 degrees that day! They sat the 7 of us at a too small round table, struggling to fit the shared appetizers. Again when we complained they refused to seat us at a larger table. It got very warm in the corner where we were and I had to ask them to turn on the ac. Very unpleasant experience for us and we will not be going back. read more

I came here for a surprise 30th birthday party. I must say I was very impressed with the service and the food. This isn't a big place but it was perfect for our group. You can use one or two rooms. The atmosphere is cozy. It's a BYOB. There's some outdoor seating too. We started with Hot Appetizers and they were constantly being passed. We were served Mini Crab Cakes,Stuffed Clams Oreganata , Chicken Skewers,Rice Balls,StuffedMushrooms, Baby Grilled cheese Sandwiches, Mini Ruben appetizers are just a few to mention. Then we went on to Caesar Salad, Ginger Calamari, and Prosciutto Mozzarella and Roasted Peppers. Then we went on to the Pasta course. I had Penne Al La Vodka, and Pasta in a homemade Pomodoro Sauce. Both of these dishes were excellent. After that we were given three different dishes to share family style. The first dish that was served was Bruschetta Salmon, then Veal Milanese, and Chicken Francese. All three dishes were delicious. I was so full I didn't think I could eat another bite until dessert came out. I had a piece of the delicious Birthday Cake, and some Italian pastries. I just paced myself and slowly ate a bite here and there. Portofino's served so much food. Everything was really good. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this place for dinner, get together, or a party. read more

I visited Portofino's in September of 2022 and can't wait to go back! Portofino's is VERY family friendly and BYOB. App - Rice Balls: Phenomenal. They were small so there was enough to go around the table. Entrée - Angel Hair Mediterranean: Delicious. Unfortunately I didn't get a lot of scallops, I believe only two, however, my friend got the same dish and was given 4 scallops. I definitely had enough shrimp! Dessert - Cannoli & Cheesecake: Pretty good, but nothing special honestly so I can't say if it was homemade or not. Environment - Family friendly and cozy! Staff - Wonderful. Friendly, kind, and attentive. What wasn't great though? The parking. Portofino's parking lot probably fits about 5-7 cars, if that. So if you're not one lucky duck, be ready to have to look for parking on the residential street around the corner. read more

this is a main staple of our activities around the experience of dining out. Morristown has so many options. More options continue to arrive onto the scene. Portofino never lets us down, be it for a simple night out as a couple to a rehearsal dinner in advance of our daughter's wedding. Always have been satisfied with the staff, environment, menu selections and the cuisine. Simply presented, straightforward, satisfying and sturdy menu. Never a reason to complain. Happy to write this. Almost no place get's a 5 (just me). great place. read more

Great friendly staff. I had the Veal Franchesa with spinach instead of the pasta. It was delicious my way Sean was fantastic. If you go here, please ask for him. He won't be disappointed. the Tiarmisu was OK. This is a BYOB restaurant which I love but if I knew ahead of time I could've gotten some wine . A lot of restaurants in this area are BYOB so if you're not from here it's good to know. read more

It's the service that made me decide to give 5 stars. We live walking distance from this place and have always wanted to walk over and sit outside. We walked in on a Friday night and it was packed (good sign). The owner was there helping to guide reservations. He gave us a couple of options on where we could sit, but ultimately let us wait for a table outside - we were in no rush. Everyone was down to earth and very friendly and accommodating. Sitting outside is comfortable, even on a chilly night - they have heat lamps that work well. Bread was warm and satisfying. I had the penne vodka which was very good. Now hear me out- the food isn't the greatest quality of my life...BUT the overall experience makes you want to come back. You simply do not find that "family feel" in a restaurant any more. read more

excellent food. We are always hesitant to go new places because we know our regular places will always serve a good meal but this will absolutely be a new regular spot. I recommend the portofino's special! read more

This was my first time here, it was recommended by a friend, I'm glad I took the drive here. The place was very nice decorated. Parking not so much but luckily I gotten a space right in front. The inside was very nice clean and cozy. I gotten the scampi shrimp and the fried calamari. Everything was delicious.. definitely will be back read more

PROS: I came here for an event. This place had a nice Italian vibe to Italian vibe to it. The staff and owner were really friendly and the food was good too. Everything was clean and the event was hosted at an affordable price. They have several rooms to hold 2 parties (or open the door to join the rooms to have one big party) or one party and have a normal restaurant opening on the side. CONS: The parking lot is very small which could only accommodate 7 cars while there are 12+ tables inside. It was a little cramped inside as well so if the place was crowded it would be hard to move through the tables. The room we had the event in we were packed in, so I wouldn't suggest hosting an event for more than 20 people in it in one room. OVERALL: I wouldn't mind coming here for an early dinner to beat the other cars and not face a crowded room, but in my opinion I would want a place a little bigger inside and on the lot. However I did like the ownership and staff so if you did come here you'll be treated with the upmost respect. read more

very at home environment and great Italian food.. highly recommended!! and leave room for the dessert(s)

I can't believe I'm a Morristonian and haven't been here. It was a perfect night spent w/family celebrating my birthday! Note: it's BYOB which made it even better read more

Super easy spot to grab some great Italian! Was able to call ahead and go curbside pickup. Had a good amount of tables outdoors that were under a tent and also had fans going. We got the Spaghetti Carbonara and added some chicken. Chicken pieces were perfect size and also moist! The sauce will really yummy and the bits of bacon were perfection. It was a pretty big size and I think we could have split between like four meals so super excited about leftovers! Also came with some soft bread and we were very happy. Staff was super friendly and they have plenty of parking for Morristown. Would check out ! Felt it was a great spot for us to grab some pasta read more

Just wonderful -5 stars! Food is always great here. Lovely staff. Welcoming atmosphere.

We went here for our anniversary dinner, and let me tell you it was top notch. The atmosphere was adorable and very cozy. The food was excellent and the portions were large! But our biggest seller was our waitress Gina, she was amazing! She was so attentive had such a great personality. Even the men who were running the food were so nice and attentive as well. We were looking for potential rehearsal dinner places and I think this place won us over. read more

Overall, Portofino is great value for the dollar. Excellent food with large portions. Delicious recipes. Frequented mostly by locals. Service is good. You're never waiting too long. Waiters are attentive and smart. Most of the areas for improvement are related to atmosphere. Portofino has so much potential to be a cozy, tucked away gem in Morristown. The outside and exterior are inviting and charming. The inside, however, is a bit stark and sterile. The lighting is too bright. And they may even be using LED spot lights on the ceiling, which totally ruin the atmosphere. They need to dim the lights, use incandescent bulbs, and maybe drop some of those faux tea candlelights on the tables. And maybe warm up the walls a bit more with welcoming art work. And more enhancements along those Ines, especially in the lobby and main dining rooms. Rhe owner should hire an interior design consultant. It would go a long way. So much potential. If they do these things related to atmosphere, Portofino is at least 4 stars, maybe 5. We'll be back, but with sunglasses. read more

The food was excellent I really enjoyed my dinner and I liked the dessert I hope to come back soon!

Been going here for years. Always consistently good. Reasonable prices and great service. Highly recommend! read more

So sad to say this wasn't the best experience. I feel badly because the owner was so nice but it went from bad to worse quickly. It took 40 minutes to seat our party of 6- who had a reservation. But, it was nice they offered to open our wine for us while we waited (this place is BYOB). We ordered an appetizer sampler that included artichoke francese and Buffalo calamari but the cala a Mari was pretty cold. The people who ordered pasta dishes at our table reported that they were good and enjoyed them. However, my friend and I both ordered the chicken Marsala and the sauce had no taste and was very watery. I've been wanting to try this cute little place off the strip for awhile so I was disappointed. So many other better options in town. read more
