We dined in your restaurant today 6/10/26 at 11:15am. We love this restaurant and the food is…read moreexcellent. However, there was a new waitress that waited on us. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks after we ordered them, my son ordered ice tea unsweet, when it finally came it was sweet tea, received the wrong dressing for my sons salad. When our food finally showed up I had ordered a Veggie Calzone it was a veggie pizza! I did not send it back as it took 45 minutes to get the first meal! I was shocked to find that the good waitresses had quit. I believe you need to train your waitresses better. I will not be back for a while, hopefully things will get better! Love the atmosphere!

10/10 - A Hidden Gem in Newport!…read more If you're anywhere near Newport, TN, do yourself a favor and stop by Portofino! Our crazy group of 10 ordered just about everything: calzones, manicotti, baked ziti, chicken Parmesan, fettuccine, pesto chicken pasta, an Italian sub, chicken marsala, and spaghetti & meatballs--and every single dish was outstanding. There wasn't a bad bite on the table! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was exceptional, and the hospitality made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. Everything was cooked perfectly, served hot, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our large group had a fantastic experience. It's not often that 10 people all leave completely happy, but Portofino nailed it. We can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the Newport area and craving amazing Italian food, this is the place to go. Matisee did an amazing job taking care of us!!! Thank you!! We'll definitely be back!

I had quite a bit on the menu, but the burgers and hamburger steak seem to win out time and again. Chicken fingers and plump and crispy, not super greasy.
