Wonderful, simply wonderful. Staff was amazing, and fabulous GF pasta. Great outdoor seating. Superb.
Got an amazing deal on ?pasta night?. Glass of wine, salad, pasta and a desert for basically the price of a pasta dish. Pasta... was the best I?ve had in a while and just what I wanted. The waiter was super attentive & friendly as well. Can?t wait to comeback Read more

Portofino Ristorante is an institution along Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, the place to be for that classic Sunday Lunch /... Brunch with family or friends after church from Our Lady Queen of Martyrs opposite it. I have dined here for quite a few times,and the food, while always sumptuous in my experience, can be a hit or miss for some - I?ve observed some mistakes made inorders especially when it?s very busy. However, on the plus side - the place has that homey feel; sitting near the windowswistfully inside looking out at Queens Boulevard as you drink your chilled wine. I always loved their Burratta mozzarella forthe appetizer and their pasta is always an Italian chef?s kiss - their delectable Butternut Squash Ravioli is perfect for anautumn day! (I just wish it was a bit more generous in serving.) While I feel they should update their desserts menu, I alwayshave a weakness for their Tiramisu and I am glad they use Mighty Leaf as their tea of choice (the tea selection comes in thiswooden box they have, a nice touch!). The waiters are always attentive and the manager owner is much beloved in the community.When I leave after a hearty meal, I always make sure I take a look at their small altar with San Giuseppe (St.Joseph) and asmattering of photos of the lovely smiling patrons of the place. It?s always nice to be part of Queens history. Read more
I absolutely love this place, the environment is outstanding. Every time I go there's classic Italian music, which suits the... place perfectly. Eating here is always a delight. I love the way they present the desserts, super cute. Very classy!! Read more
Food was okay. Nothing exceptional in terms of Italian dining. Has everything you can expect. Atmosphere was great! However, the... prices were pretty high considering the quality of the food was pretty decent. Spent $134 for 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, and 1dessert. Read more
