Rude waiters just wanted to turn our table, and the restaurant was only half full. They were overstaffed yet each person that talked to us was looking past our table and made us feel like we were taking there time. I had the top fish dish special that was overcooked and that gave me memorable stomach cramps that kept me... more

My favorite cuisine is Italian and we tend to try Italian restaurants wherever we go. Many disappoint - but not this one. It's for real. The service was very quick (almost too quick; we could have easily lingered a bit more) and efficient. The food was authentic, with plenty of garlic. The pizza is truly outstanding - obviously the crust... more

Bermuda is expensive but Portofino offers good quality, standard Italian restaurant fare at a reasonable price. We don't agree with many of the reviews about being 'average'. It is what it is - it serves good quality, tasty Italian food at a reasonable price (for Bermuda!) We thought the atmosphere was good and the staff friendly. We also called in... more

This restaurant is about average in expense for a restaurant in Hamilton (they all tend to be very expensive), but we found the food uninspired and too rich. The "garlic bread" seemed to be three slices of store bought bread buttered with a vaguely garlic spread. I ordered the linguine al pesto, and it was drowning in heavy cream with... more

Very popular Italian restaurant with friendly staff, however I have never found it to be that great myself. Good pizzas, however avoid the seafood one, sounds much more appetizing on the menu than it really is! A good place to have a casual, quick meal with friends, busy and buzzing atmosphere. Not as cheap as it should be for this... more

Firstly, the server brought us an appetizer that we did not order...we figured it was part of the standard fare...only to find out that it was someone else's order...the manager insisted we pay for it! Rude service, cramped quarters, and average food = stay away. more

Certainly the food here is good - but its a bit too cramped (on the tables for 2 ) and service is a bit too fast - not a place where you can linger or make an evening of it - pity more

Dropped in here during a short stay in Bermuda. The restaurant to it's credit was open on a Sunday, a lot of places are not! Overall the food was a good standard a spinach salad for starter, all the ingredients were fresh, my main was chicken and mushroom risotto which was cooked well, I dare say gourmands may say they've... more

Eaten there quite a few times, never terribly impressed with the food. No fresh basil used in any of the pasta dishes and most of them are unimaginative and lack flair. For the price, not too bad, you could probably rustle something more authentic at home with little effort. Probably better to play it safe as with most Italian restaurants... more

Service is not great, it does seem like them want to get you in and out and are not very personable at all. But The food is great! I am italian and I am very picky when it comes to red sauce. My fiance and I both had chicken parm and it was excellent! My fiance wanted to go back... more
