    Our first visit. My husband and I just moved to Pennsylvania and we were close to Kennett square today and decided to try this wonderful restaurant. We were greeted by Clevia who was our warm and welcoming server. He seated us by the charming front window facing State Street. (Table 1). We enjoyed delicious house-made Italian bread with a lovely dipping of balsamic, olive oil and herbs. We shared the delicious Prosciutto and Arugula pizza, and Fig and Prosciutto salad. What incredible cuisine! The pizza dough and all pastas are made in house. What an excellent experience! We will return for dinner. Reservations are highly recommended.

    Came here before visiting Longwood Gardens for their Christmas display. The restaurant was cute and decorated for Christmas! There was lots of room and we were sat by the front window. The drinks were very good! We ordered the olives and they were great. Everyone in our party started with the Caesar salad which was very good! Personally I hate the eggplant parm and it was very tasty. Could've been a bit crispier but flavor was on point. They had gluten free pasta as someone from our party cannot eat gluten and it was a solid pasta. We ordered a seafood pasta special and the scallops were rubbery and overcooked. We ordered a risotto dish and it was fine. And we also ordered a ravioli dish which came out lukewarm. Overall the food was mid but the drinks were good and we enjoyed our waiter. Service was quick and friendly.

    The last time we came here it was amazing, but this time it missed the mark! We made reservations for dinner and arrived early. The older gentleman said that's fine. He seated us, and was also our waiter. He offered to open our bottle of wine and told us the specials. However, it would be nice to see the specials in writing. It was hard to understand everything he was saying, and also remember everything. We ordered two appetizers: the Mixed olives and the Tuscan style bruschetta. The olives were just okay but the bruschetta was the best thing we ate here! The whipped bruschetta with the balsamic and tomatoes, and the bread so soft... For dinner we ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Bocconcini. The Spaghetti Carbonara tasted very lemony and not very cheesy for a dish that supposed to have two kinds of cheese. Then the Bocconcini- it had several pieces of shrimp that were good, but the pasta was not cooked all the way and was hard and chewy. We decided to split the lemon cake and it was just okay. Loved the BYOB here and easy to make reservations. Parking was just around the corner in the garage. Service was just okay. It was a long wait for food, that wasn't even cooked properly. Not sure we will come back.

    Tough chicken parm. Good pasta. Small salad. Good salad. Good atmosphere. Good company.

    It was for my sister's in law birthday. We had reservations today at 7 PM. Beautiful evening for dining under the stars on a Thursday night. Arrived at 7 PM and we had to wait for 20 minutes before getting seated. Okay! Whatever! The street was closed off for other restaurants as well so people can enjoy the wonderful weather. But my GOOD GOLLY GRACIOUS... Service was horrendous (to put it in a nice way)! Took forever for someone to come by to check on us. And to add salt to the wound, it was like that throughout our entire time there. No water. NO NOTHING! We asked different busboys to bring a bucket of ice (to put the wine bottles in) and no one did nothing for the next 45 minutes after getting seated. Finally, after sitting there for an hour, our waitress finally introduced herself. She apologize. I was over it by then. Then again, it wasn't my event so I didn't want to be the person who was very negative. But in all honesty, it was definitely a letdown. She took our orders. More time for us to get our food. From appetizers to entrées. They food, itself, was pretty decent. But for the amount of time for us to receive it, it was not worth it. By the time I receive my entrée, it was wrong. I've ordered the lobster ravioli but received a cheese ravioli instead. It was very cold... tasted like they took it out of the fridge and warmed it up in the microwave. If you look at my picture, you could tell that it was not a lobster ravioli. I don't know want to complain because it took forever for everything to get to our table. Just dealt with what I have. Would I like to come back here? ABSOLUTELY NOT nor do I recommend anyone to come here because this service was the worst that I've ever had and that's putting it in the nicest way possible. If they can't accommodate that many people, they shouldn't have had that many reservations.

    We were there about 5:30 on a Tuesday night. Very quiet but it got pretty busy before we left around seven. The food was delicious. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've had! The dressing was creamy but not heavy. Our main Waiter was Mark and he was great! The others took their time to also check on us. We bought a bottle of Pinot Noir and just overall great experience. Can't wait to return!!

Her focus should be on the experience, food service, and properly training and managing staff. Been patronizing for many years but this summer's experiences have been very negative and disappointing. The neighboring restaurants, directly beside and across from Portabellos, have been holding higher standards without the strong turnover we've seen at Portabellos. Perhaps it's time to hire a friendlier, kinder face as manager/hostess. When bringing things to her attention, she deflected and turned blame to the "busyness" of the towns local events. With that being said, being of her obvious age and acclaimed experience, she should know to fully staff and properly manage her team. The seats will fill themselves, not needing her hand in literally asking guests at the bar to shuffle their seats to fill two others. Perhaps the patrons at the bar sat in the selected seats purposely, and for reason of disability, anxiety, etc. Never had we experienced a manager asking patrons, in mid-meal and deep conversation, to quite literally shuffle themselves to fill an empty barstool. Absolutely appalling. Highly recommend avoiding unless you enjoy overspending on lacking, cold, sometimes forgotten food, and terribly inadequate attention to details.

The food came out a little slow though but worth it. Starters: Brussel Sprouts: 5/5 delicious and made well. The skin lightly fried but not charred. The dish balance with pieces of bacon and the cheese plays well with the balsamic vinegar. Rib rolls: 4/5 The shredded short ribs could be a bit more moist and flavorful but pairs very well the horseradish aioli. Chicken Alfredo: 5/5 likely on the of the best Alfredo I have had. Grilled chicken was perfect not too dry and flavorful and the noodles cooked to perfection. The sauce was flavorful but not too heavy with cream like most places. Meat Lover Pizza: 4/5 Solid pizza! Well balanced and not overly salty. French Onion Patty Melt: 5/5 Perfect medium cook and delicious. Not too salty. Onions savory and sweet. Perfect crunch of the bread. Chicken Caprese: 4/5 It was good. Pesto brought a nice brightness to balance the heaviness of the fried chicken. Overall: 5/5 a great place that delivers well on their food. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other dishes. You don't leave feeling overall full due to the richness of the dishes

We initially planned to have dinner at the restaurant, but our GPS led us to the adjacent sports bar with the same name. We were seated at a high-top table near the bar and greeted by our friendly server. The menu was similar to the restaurant (I think), but regardless, we were looking for pizza and a beer. They offer two styles of crust: NY-style and Neapolitan. We ordered a cheese pizza with the latter wood fired crust. Our pizza arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was fine. The crust was not as light as I thought it should be. The pie was a good size and plenty for both of us. Service was great the entire evening, and we enjoyed our meal.

I wasn't sure what to make of it as I would have expected a full house on a Saturday night. I'm going to start with a few opportunities. First, the initial glass of water I was brought was not clean. There was literally some food on the side of it. Second and keeping on the topic of water, the waiter did not come back to fill empty glasses of water. Next, I was looking forward to the tomato garlic bread but it was hard when I but into it. Finally, my counterpart ordered a burger and after eating about half of the burger, each bite was like biting into a pallet of salt. It was like someone accidentally spilled a salt shaker so he obviously couldn't finish it. On the positive side, the place was quiet which was nice, the manager (or maybe it was even the owner) when we asked for more water bought us a carafe so we didn't run out again (which I love), and also when we left I accidentally forgot my takeout container on the table and again the manager (or owner) ran out after us to get it to us which I appreciated so much. Relative to the food, it was average (minus the salt side of the burger which was not good). The soft pretzel appetizer was good and I had lasagne which was decent enough. I will say it was a huge lasagne portion (two squares)! Overall, I'm not sure I'd go back with so many other options.

It came with a lot of very good fries. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, but I am picky about the cheese. I would have a stronger cheese, but it is my personal cheese preference. I contemplated getting fries, but I am glad I did not because they were a large size. I was in the mood for potato chips, and there were a couple of different types of them. I am glad I got the Herr's kettle chips because they are the best. Also, there were larger bags of snacks- they had Uncle Jerry pretzels, which are so good. Therefore, I think they choose the best pretzels/snacks foods for their customers to select from. While I was waiting for lunch to be prepared, I looked at their prepared and frozen meals. I bought a shepherd's pie, which I had the day after. It was fair- it could have been seasoned a lot better. I would not purchase it again. I bought some big tan beans in olive oil (?) in their refrigerated section. They were delicious, and I would buy them again. This store was clean and very well staffed by friendly employees. We ate outside on the somewhat rusty tables. We are looking forward to returning again here!
