Reviews of Portofino Restaurant
L. B.
Gorgeous food and a beautiful venue. I had the vegetarian antipasto and the spinach and ricotta parcels and it was all absolutely delicious. My sister had mussels and mixed seafood linguini and she loved that too.
M. B.
Stumbled across this gem of a restaurant last night. Beautiful place, food was great and the staff so attentive. Definetly will be back next time I'm in Newcastle. Well done to all.
S.
We've been here a few times, we love coming here. The mussels starter is big enough to share between 2-3 people, and both the red and white creamy sauces are very tasty, although bare in mind the red sauce can be quite spicy. We've had the sirloin steaks, one with Diane sauce and the other with a red, anchovy sauce. They were cooked exactly as we asked them to be (medium, medium to rare) and they were perfect. The Inglese pizza is delicious, it's so flavourful and love the thin crust and egg on top! Once the egg was fried, but preferably the egg would be best cooked on top of the pizza. The salmon is a delight every time! Would recommend a glass of the Italian red wine, Barbera d'Asti, to go with the steak. The homemade chips on our first visit were a little undercooked and we mentioned it, and since then they've been delicious and crispy every single time. The herb potatoes are pleasant too. We shared a homemade cheesecake of the day (caramel cheesecake), it tasted like heaven! We would go back there just for the cheesecake alone! Tried the chocolate fudge cake with pouring cream, it was delightful! The liquor coffee was lovely too. The service was a bit slow, but it was nice to have long breaks between each dish and not feel rushed to eat like at other restaurants. Also, the first time we came here no one checked throughout our meal if everything was ok with our food, which is custom to do, but that's also been rectified since we mentioned it. We appreciate the fact our feedback has been taken seriously.
We would recommend this restaurant 100% for the amazing food and lovely staff, we'll definitely be coming back in the future.
S. O.
Beautiful restaurant, lovely food. Had the 3 course festive meal. Smoked salmon starter, sirloin steak in Madiera sauce and panetone pudding with a glass of prosecco on the side. Everything was delicious apart from the steak which was too thick and slightly tough. Apart from this, it was lovely. Great service too.
M. H.
Our first time in Newcastle so I did check the reviews before we went. Thank fully the restaurant matched up to the reviews. A bustling place with a lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service staff did everything to make sure you got exactly what you wanted. I had the seafood pancake served with a Greek salad. Delicious. No complaints at all. My husband said it was the nicest place he’s been to in a while. Plus reasonably priced so he was happy
P. H.
Totally atmospheric! Quality food at a very reasonable price. Service was spot on. I would highly recommend the house red, lush
C. A.
Lovely Italian restaurant.
Staff were lovely and the food was nice as well.
Reasonably priced at happy hour.
K. B.
My husband and I had been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time and finally got the chance this weekend. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and always came by to see how we were doing. She was quite informed about the menu and gave excellent recommendations for all courses. As an appetizer, we shared the salad Vert, followed by the special asparagus as a side dish. We had a great time with the food we ordered! Good place.
D. D.
Lovely setting complimented by good food friendly service at a reasonable price.
L. A.
Would rate more if I could! Spent my birthday meal here and the staff were absolutely amazing made me feel birthday welcome with little touches and came out singing happy birthday with my cheesecake!! Such a friendly atmosphere with amazing staff, amazing food and just a really cool, relaxed place to eat amazing Italian food- thank you!!
I. O. J. 1.
Love this place and go there every time we visit Newcastle. Beautiful building, superb food & quick service. Couldn't fault it.
S. W.
Absolute 5 star service, we arrived early for our reservation, not a problem. We were seated & served with spectacular food & drinks. Staff couldn't do enough for us, food was outstanding, reasonable price & home cooked. Fantastic time
C. S.
Always delivers on quality and price.
Lovely meal in a place with unusual decor. Was initially a bank I think and all the traditional tiles still cover the walls. Staff efficient and friendly. Well worth a visit at any time of the day
A. C.
Absolutely love this place. One of my favourites and I loved the pink lilies in the toilets! Also my favourite 😍 💖
J. A. W.
An absolute favourite in Newcastle. The food and service are consistently outstanding, and I look forward to visiting multiple times during my stay in the city. The happy hour menu is terrific for a lighter yet fully satisfying meal. The specials offer a chance to stray from my go-to choices. Try to save room for sweets; the tiramisu is *chef's kiss*!
L. B.
Delicious Italian food, garlic bread was a thin base just how I like it. Scallops to start and a Delicious mixed seafood with thin spaghetti. The restaurant is in a Victorian listed building. Booking would be recommended as was very busy although that may be due to the early bird offer.
H.
It was good food and value (amount of prawns and pasta). The staff were attentive and polite.
M. B.
This mark would be lower if hadn't been before. Service good! But the food was so basic. Mussels over cooked and the sirloin steak was just a steak on a plate nothing else, the steak was just over cooked and the fat on the sirloin was raw and inedible. Some chips on the side but we're blonde and just tasteless. Really considering not going back after this. Great atmosphere and decor.
H. O.
excellent food , brilliant friendly staff, quick service , reasonable prices and overall excellent experience 👌👍
V. S.
Had a great time with friends. Nice, chilled and friendly atmosphere. Food is delicious. Great prices too.
L. A.
Love this place. Staff and service excellent. Best meal I have had In ages. Home made pasta is a must
T. F.
Had the soup of the day and the pasta with pepperoni, great food.
The only reason I'm not giving a 5 is that I requested a receipt with VAT, was given the response that the company just changed so they don't know their VAT and that I should send an email requesting for it....why hasn't the staff sent an email before hand to know this VAT and provide it when requested...
A. C.
Absolutely gorgeous food. Pizzas were delicious and fresh...the desserts were so amazing I polished off my daughter's too! Lovely staff, very friendly and attentive. Kids loved it too. Will definitely go again and well recommended.👍
P. C.
The menu is reasonably priced considering the restaurant is on one of the main road in the city centre. The food and services are excellent, we celebrated our friend's birthday and had a fantastic night! Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
J. W.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the style of the restaurant is superb. Just look at the ceiling! The food was amazing, the fillet steak is the best we’ve ever had xx
c.
Lovely food we have visited a few times Lovely old building friendly service
S. W.
We had Francesca tagliatelle pasta and buffalo mozzarella pizza. Food was very nice and delicious but the place has fantastic interior. Beautiful archways with tiles up to the ceiling. Definitely will come back there.
G. B.
Really enjoyed our lunch here. Great surroundings. Simple and tasty italian food. Reasonably priced and good service. We will return and recommend this restaurant.

E. F.

T. M.
Just love this place. This Italian Restaurant is by far the very best in Newcastle. Me and my wife have tried them all in the Town and Portofinos comes trumps all the time. Lovely staff, great food and buzzing with Atomosphere. Thanks for making Valentines night so special....Thank you ❤
G. M.
Loved it. First visit ever. Stunning decor. Beautiful food. THE best ever KP (in the Garlic KP starter). All of our party of 8 enjoyed every course, left nothing and had nothing but compliments. Would deffo go back. Superb.
G. O.
I had booked for the wrong date by accident and instead of being ushered away, a table was made up for us which was very kind.
We were quite close to another table, but to my suprise once I'd returned from the toilets, we had been moved to a cosier part of the restaurant.
The meal was excellent, the staff were friendly and accommodating and we had a great time as a result.
Thank you to all the staff involved. You went above and beyond in these trying times and your efforts are much appreciated by myself and my family.
D. K.
Excellent place to eat great atmosphere very helpful staff... Best chicken/tomato/cream tagliatelle Pasta I have had in a long time ( watch out for the parmesan grinder love it proper piece of kit ). I started with 4* changed it to 5* by the end of this report keep it up well done ✅
c. m.

m. l.
Beautiful listed building, lovely food and nice staff,will be back.
S. W.
Food was lovely but the tables were pushed so close together you couldn't move, also I felt quite rushed to leave as others waiting for a table. I was only there for an hour, had just ordered another drink after the food, we didn't want deserts, hadn't asked for bill but it was brought straight to the table.
K. M.
Went here for the first time with my wife and the food was excellent and the service was top notch, will be visiting here again soon.
I. C.
Good food and drinks selection and friendly staff. Bit of a noisy/echoey setting due to the high ceiling and reflective surfaces without any dampening.
H. M.
Good food, though draft beer was not great. However waiting staff helpful and changed drinks without a problem.
D. H.
Went on Valentines night... food as always was amazing....the lambshank is the best I've ever had, large and the meat just falls off the bone 😀

Such a nice little gem. The indoors decoration and architecture is impressive and we really enjoyed our dishes. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious and the prices were great too!
O. S. (.
Great atmosphere and good quality cheap food. They said they did not take Street Away vouchers but still let us have the full meal anyway. So please don't use Street Away for this restaurant!
S. P.
Been past here hundreds of times and never been in, decided to try it on Friday night and loved it, great food, great service and fast service. Special early bird menu which we thought was very good value. Would recommend and we will return.
L. C.
Really lovely building. Tables well set out and easy to move around. Good mix of customers young and old(er). Lots of attentive staff and food and drinks arrived quickly. Plenty choice in the Menu and a special mention for my Haddock Rissotto from the specials board. Absolutely delicious.

L. K.
Really nice place to eat, staff are friendly and service is great. The food is fresh and tastes great. You will not be disappointed.
A. B.
Great food, excellent service in magnificent surroundings
d. h.
It would be better value if there was a special menu. Food was good but not better than Sambucas who do have any offers on. But was nice ambiance and setting.
J.
Quick service, friendly staff and great value for money, really enjoyed the olives and garlic bread for starters and the parma pizza for the main course, followed by an amazing dessert of sticky toffee pudding - will definitely be returning!
j. d.
The food we had was better than it is in Italy, very reasonably priced and the interior decor is worth the visit alone. Will definitely be back.
R. R.
Excellent food at a decent price. Definitely worth trying.
J. A.
Had a lovely meal here before visiting the Arena last night. The young gentleman who served our table is a credit to Portofino's. He was very polite and very helpful during out visit, as were all the staff we spoke to. It's a beautiful place, delicious food, excellent service. We'll be returning very soon.
G. D.
Great traditional restaurant in a beautiful building, excellent food and friendly attentive staff.
G. F.
Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing value for money. You should definitely go! I've been visiting this restaurant for around 25 years. It seems to get better with every visit!
L. S.
My favourite place to eat in Newcastle, well done to them for their choice of gluten free food 😀
R. C.
Feels like a well run family restaurant and not a franchise chain.
Beautiful building and decor. The food has a taste and quality level above most other local Italian restaurants and the prices are very fair. The service is excellent.
N. S.
My Mother and I visited this restaurant for a meal together before going to the Theatre. We chose Portifino's as it's close to the Theatre Royal and it had a three course special deal at the time of dining (Thursday evening). We were both impressed by the quality of the food, the efficiency and friendliness of the staff and the general atmosphere of the restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
D. J.
Lovely building and even better food (the calzone was one of the best) with great service.

Beautiful building. Very good Italian fayre. Faultless staff. A great experience.
J. M.
Empty plates all round.....even the fussy eaters enjoyed their meals. Staff were charming and very helpful.
A. S.
Food good and reasonably priced, staff lovely, finishing / attention to detail of decor let it down. Flooring cuts around radiator looks hacked out, holes in bench seats, cluster of wires visible and tiles poorly done in some areas which is a shame as this looks and amazing historical building with beautiful arching high ceilings. Would recommend for food and wine.
K. L.
King prawn and garlic to start and fillet steak for main, absolutely gorgeous, best Italian in the North East.
S. M.
What s lovely restaurant. Great food and buzzing atmosphere
L. P.
Ate here twice during a recent trip to Newcastle. The restaurant has a great buzzing atmosphere. Food is excellent. Building in fabulous. Staff very attentive. Value for money
R. H.
Absolutely recommended. Big menu with all of the Italian classic dishes available. The staff are friendly and the lunchtime service was fast. The restaurant is in a wonderful old building with floor to ceiling ceramic tiles. Go if you can.

Good selection of lunchtime specials but pricey in comparison with out of town places
D. K.
The food is fantastic, and the service is of a very high standard - one of many visits. I can't fault it at all. The atmosphere is wonderful. I loved it today, and then home to an England win 4-0. It could not have been a better day.
L. C.

Good food. Nice waiter. Close to theatre royal.
D. W.
Fabulous food and friendly staff. It's beautiful inside too
0.
fantastic food and great, authentic atmosphere
A. H.
The best Italian restaurant in Newcastle and possibly the Northeast. (My favourite)
How to test if you are eating Authentic Italian food:
If the lasagna is sloppy and swimming in cheese sauce you know you are eating slop...
At Portofino's it stands proud on your plate, surrounded with juice and sauce at the base. You can taste quality beef, instead of some cheese and tomato pasta soup you will be served at other places... boasting to be the best because they have nice Italian style decor!!
Portofino's is by far....The best food, best value, service is usually good ... 5 stars!
S. B.
A great meal with lots of choice and prompt, friendly staff.
N. Q.
This is such an authentic Italian restaurant in the centre of Newcastle. The decor inside is lovely and the food is delicious, it took us straight back to Italy and will definatley be back soon!
S.
Excellent service and food, owner very friendly
J. P.
Just visited here for lunch. The food here is fantastic and definitely one of the best Italians I have had. The service was fantastic and the restaurant is just gorgeous. Staff are very helpful too. If I ever visit Newcastle again I will be returning to this restaurant.
C. K.
Portofinos is not only beautiful inside but the food is affordable and delicious too, an absolute must see restaurant in Newcastle.
S. M.
Lovely place, gorgeous food, very reasonable prices excellent service, would definatley recommend this place and most definitely will go back
S. K.
I actually really liked his place. Slightly outdated venue possibly by design gives a real Italian restaurant feel. The food didn't fail me on price, taste or portion size. I won't lie, fine dining may happen elsewhere but happy dining happens here.
M. G.

Beautiful Place, with great italian beer and food. Everything was perfect. Classy atmosphere.
I. C.
The location and interior are fantastic, restaraunt is set in a beautiful building. However we thought the food was a bit overpriced.
J. M.
Have only been at lunch.Food good.Service good. Worth a visit if only to see the building inside.

I had a king and tiger prawn risotto for a lunchtime visit which was very nice, but the portion was rather small and the price rather hefty, ...otherwise very pleasant service.

Brilliant meal great service and a lovely atmosphere
Highly recommended
C. K.
Actually, it was excellent . You know how you go to an Italian restaurant, and they say the sauce is spicy, but it isn't? At this place, it was. Well impressed
H. A.
Loved it. Gorgeous atmosphere. So relaxed. Beautiful decor of course, which adds to it. Lovely, friendly, smiling, efficient, honest staff (apparently I'd paid a deposit of 60gbp and had no idea - but they made sure I got it back). Delicious food. Such a varied menu for adults and children. Will be my first choice for food in Newcastle from now. Good value. Had such a lovely time.
G. s.
Fabulous place. We went for my sons 18th birthday, the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They provided table decorations and candles, they also sang Happy birthday. We had a great time. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
V. B.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely food will definitely be back!
M. G.
Lovely place, fantastic food, fantastic building, superb friendly staff and great value.

Not my first visit here. This restaurant has a great atmosphere. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.
The food is all very well cooked and presented. I had the spicy meatballs which are absolutely gorgeous followed by fillet steak and it was cooked to perfection!
Highly recommended place to eat. I will revisit on my next trip to Newcastle.
R. R.
Stunning venue. Food excellent combined with friendly and very efficient staff. Good value for money. My new first choice italian venue in the toon.
C. B.
Fabulous lunch time menu and service was excellent
L. H.
Lovely building inside and very good food too. We shouldn't have had Italian tonight for reasons of national loyalty, but it was jolly nice.
I. W.
Great restaurant in the heart of Newcastle City centre. Offers traditional family recipes from Italy. Make sure you have a coffee ☕ with the home made Amaretto Biscuits.
e. J.
Visited on a quiet Monday evening. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service with a smile. Food was delicious . Three two course meals and a drink each amounted to less than £50.
Very Covid compliant. Would certainly recommend.
T. M.
Haven't been to Portofinos in quite awhile but will definitely be back soon after our visit tonight. The restaurant was very busy but we were taken to our table straight away. The service from the staff was excellent especially as the place was packed. The food was delicious and my son reported that his fillet steak was cooked medium rare exactly as he asked for. Initially I asked for the restaurant week menu and although they stopped serving this menu at 4.30pm and our table was at 6pm which I hadn't realised they brought it to us without any quibbling. We did however order from the main menu as there was lots of choice. We will definitely be back soon
M. C. K.
Always a pleasure to eat here, lovely staff and tasty food, all good ❤️👍
B. D.

D. E.
Always friendly, lovely food and such a beautiful building.
D. S.
Went for Sunday lunch, which was a really good experience. We had booked a table for 1:30, which was just as well as it was busy. We were seated quickly and efficiently, at a table of our choice. It is quite a historic building, the interior having high ceilings and the walls covered in glazed tiles. For all of that, it was a nice, comfortable temperature. We had a bottle of Pinot Grigiot, which was reasonably priced and very nice. Homemade soup and roll for starters (Tomato and peppers), which was thick and very tasty. The chicken roast dinner was very nice, served with fresh/ tasty veg and a lovely Yorkshire pudding. It was accompanied by a generous jug of gravy each. All in all, excellent value for money, great quality and professional, hard working staff. Can't wait to revisit for a second opinion.
L.
This is a very romantic restaurant. The staff, food and restaurant is authentic. I would definitely go back.
B. N.
Brilliant surroundings great food and drink nice to pop in after a bit shopping before heading home.Nice atmosphere. My favourite restaurant in Newcastle never had a bad meal. Just love the authentic and tasty pizza and pasta. Would recommend to everyone. Always top quality food served by friendly staff.
E. a. M. O.
Amazing food, friendly staff, absolutely fantastic experience, we couldn’t praise the place highly enough!
C. S.
Me and my family have been here many many times over several years.
We have never had a bad meal here and would highly recommend visiting this restaurant.
Sea food is amazing and generous portions, especially muscles for starters.
Pasta is always well cooked and Al dente.
Pizza is very well cooked, nice and thin base with great topings.
Risotto is very well cooked with plenty of flavour options!
Dessert options change over time but never had a bad option here, lots of good cakes!
Plenty of vegetarian options here too so very inclusive.
Overall a lovely restaurant, friendly and accommodating staff with an absolutely lovely building interior.
I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant (I would reserve a table for dinner times and weekends. )
C. H.
Great Italian food and drink at good prices. Have a good allergen menu too, just needs to be requested.

Great food and fantastic staff, highly recommended!

A breathtaking increase to prices, lunch for 2 with a garlic bread starter, 2 main courses and 2 drinks used to be @£20-22 but is now £35. Given that there were waiting times in Eldon Square and other restaurants of 45 minutes due to covid restrictions. We are hostage to circumstance
J. C.
It's the first time we've been since the pandemic started. We had a great meal, it was lovely to be there again
s. s.
Great food and service. Compliments to the chef for cooking a banging meal. Really impressed.
M.
Good atmosphere, really nice food (had Sunday roast which I thought might be a mistake in Italian restaurant), pink tasty beef, not chewy as elsewhere. Also the gravy was tasty and I am not a fan. Whole dish was seasoned well. Tiramisu was delicious too.
P. M.
Fantastic food wonderful atmosphere staff really friendly quick delivery of food really lovely experience.
K. P.
Omg the lamb shank here is absolutely divine. Can’t recommend enough. Came to Newcastle on a weekend away in Aug 2020 and will not forget this place. Forgot to leave a review originally, but remembered and just had to do it now. The brownie is also to die for. Definitely one I will return to if I ever visit Newcastle again
A. W.
the service was excellent, quick but not too fast. great value for money. pizza and pasta dishes were very tasty. highly recommended.
definitely worth a visit.

Visited for first time after lockdown on 17th July. Food still excellent, service excellent, keep up the good work. Anyone giving this restaurant low scores must either be competition or used to frozen pizza and tinned spaghetti!

Food was delicious, prompt and efficient service, lovely atmosphere. A great night out!

Lovely decor. Poor reheated lasagne that ruined the illusion of fresh food. Gnocchi was good.

Best seafood risotto I have ever eaten. Lovely place with lots of character. Great staff particular praise for the manager who made us feel very special. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back.

This is my favourite Italian Restaurant in Newcastle. The food is incredible and the service is fantastic. You are always greeted with a smile when you walk in. I highly recommend the Roma pasta and the chocolate brownie. I get it almost every time I go. It's not that expensive either! My boyfriend and I go as much as we can.
m. R.
The restaurant is actually really beautiful. All high ceilings, period features and from the staff we met, all Italian. I was in the mood for gnocci, but I wasn't brave enough to order off menu. I had it with meat ragu. i should have gone for my fave and had tomato sauce which I'm sure they would have done. My fault, not theirs. The prices are really reasonable, so I'd definately recommend going.

Great service ideal place to have lunch while being dragged around shops by wife fantastic pizzas friendly staff
S. Y.
Lovely food, but our meal was interrupted by the fire bell which was screeching for about 10 minutes, none of the staff reacted to it, everyone stayed in their seats even though we asked if we should evacuate. Once it stopped ringing there was no explanation or apology. Disaspionting
k.
Ok Italians been to better. We went as a works night out 6 of us. To keep the bill less complicated we asked to purchase drinks seperately as some were drinking more than others. Staff were not happy about this said they would do it once but the rest had to be added to the bill. Very average food but was busy so must be popular.
R. A. W.
We were on a staff night out here and the table was ready even though it was busy and we were 10mins early. We were greeted by a smart Italian fella who escorted us to the table.the decor is absolutely wonderful, the tiles pillars and arches really give the place a sense of style and lends a certain x factor to the experience.
What can I say about the food..... THE BEST STEAK I HAVE EVER HAD... No really, I had the fillet surf and turf and any words I write here would not do it justice, but believe me when I say it's to die for! And with Peroni on tap I can honestly say that I would give Portofino 10 stars as opposed to the 5 allowed. Excellent 👍
K. D.
An amazing meal , staff so pleasant and very friendly.
G. C.
A good Italian meal. Well cooked squid and a hearty mushroom risotto I struggled to finish. Staff friendly and efficient. Timed our arrival just right as once we had finished our starters, the place was full.
J. J.
Good tasting, fair quality food for a great price. In a cetral location between shopping and quayside. They cater to allergies really well, my friend is lactose intolerant and they made sure her meal was free of dairy. Just 50p for a filter coffee with special offer menu!
W. R.
Absolutely great place fantastic food and really great staff. Totally recommended portofinos
N.
Fantastic little place in a beautiful building. Always quiet enough to walk straight in and seated, and food swiftly comes to your table. Proper authentic Italian food. Mushroom starter and scicilian pasta recommended
J. P.
Lovely busy atmosphere, friendly service, nice food. Great to have a tasty meal... swordfish and prawn speidinis and glass of wine before Swan Lake at the
Theatre Royal.
R. D.
Amazing food, great and friendly staff. The amazing surprise was the speed at which our courses of food came out, not a long wait at all. Small and cozy which made the experience feel much better.
g.
It was gone 9 already one restaurant "had closed for the night". So the four of us went to portofinos and they were more than helpful. Service was excellent and the atmosphere of the building is a amazing. The food was excellent. Garlic bread. Nice and thin base followed by lasagne not to rich with a side of home cooked proper chips. Will definitely be going back
D. D. (. X.
Initially quite a long wait, half an hour at least after our reservation which the maître d' didn't seem to know anything about. So we sat and had some drinks in waiting. A cocktail at near £8 was a bit pricey, not sure if that's the standard in the city centre, but I know I'm normally looking at a jug in that price band.
HAVING said that, once we did get seated, the food and general service was excellent. We started with nachos to share, which were interestingly different from what I'm used to, albeit a very nice different. The nacho crisps tasted freshly made, and the cheese was more like a thin cheese sauce than a melted block of chedder.
The steak for my main was absolutely delightful. Whoever cooked the steak knows how to cook a steak. The dressing and sauce were lovely, and the chips I could tell were also fresh.
Finally on to dessert. A chocolate fudge brownie with a scoop of ice cream ontop. The best way to describe that was THICK, just the way fudge should be.
Not neglecting the waiting staff, they were very attentive and well mannered. I did at times feel they were keen for us to go with the frequency they'd check on our near empty plates, but I'll let that go with how busy the place was.
All in, very enjoyable, although I'd maybe go again on a night that isn't a Weekender to avoid the Mad-Rush.

Cold Sunday dinner. Sent it back to heat it up and still came back cold. And also £1.95 for a kids squash. But other than that nice atmosphere. Good value, service and tasty food.
E. K. 1.
Really enjoyed the food. Had pizza and garlic bread. Only downside was it was very noisey that we struggled to hear each other when talking without shouting lol. Also the waiter got a few drinks orders wrong because she couldn't hear properly. Not sure whether it's the building that's making it echo-y. Nevertheless the food was really nice I would return if I return to newcastle!!

Super friendly staff and great choices of food! I love the building

Pizza/pasta cheap and cheerful, lovely food, lovely venue, lovely attentive service

Always great service and food. A Family run business which prides itself on good food.Certainly a better experience than a recent visit to Pizza Express where myself and a Group of friemds were ignored by staff and had to leave without eating. Portofinos success is based on returning customers and are not driven by the multitude of vouchers offered at other establishments

Lovely restaurant, great food, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend it.

2nd visit food really fresh and.Zoe looked after us . Owners take note she is a keeper x

Love Portofinos. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Extensive menu offering very tasty food at reasonable prices, in a stunning old building with plenty of character. Stairs to the toilets are very, very steep so hold on tight.

Lovely family day at Portofino Newcastle, Went for my birthday lunch and from the moment we entered we had 5 star treatment, the smiling waiter took our orders and food came out quickly and piping hot, delicious and the dessert (as usual) was to die for, couldn't recommend this place enough, EVERYTHING PERFECT! I look forward to my next visit
C. D.
Love it. Really friendly staff. Stunning place with a lot of cachet. Laid back atmosphere and great food. I got the home made pasta arrabiata, which came al dente. Decente wine by the glass. Really good value for money.
J. S.
Had a fantastic meal here on New Years Eve, excellent service. Great buzz about the place. Food and drinks all reasonably priced.

Lovely restaurant, good service, good value, and amazing decor inside. Aparently by the same Architect as the natural history museum in London. Really good special offers during the day. Main dishes and Pizza £7.

I love the inside of this place! Truly magical. I usually eat pizza here when visiting and it never disappoints. The deserts are worth dying for too!
P. J.
I love this place. If what you are after is good Italian food, served and presented well, this is where you need to be. Though if you are intending to visit on a Saturday it is probably best to book.
C. C.
Beautiful food in a beautiful place. I recommend checking the menu in advance as there is so much choice. And I would book a table too !

A really good Italian restaurant at the centre of Newcastle. Best mussels in town (hardly any other place in town serves mussels, to be honest) and great lunch menu with pasta/risotto options (with coffee from quite futuristic cups for 50p).
A. S.
2nd visit and did not disappoint. Booked a table and just as well we did. Full house when we arrived. Food is fantastic and so is the service, would highly recommend.

Good place to eat. Food is good. Deserts are a bit pricey..and stop întrerupt people when they are eating with questions like.."is the food alright? " If it wasn't, I'm sure everybody will say something before you can ask:). You can let people finish and if you want to make conversation ask people where from are they etc.. Thank you.

Food is nice but waiter service is bad, they insist on putting the drink in your hand instead of on the table, nearly spilt every drink. Service charge was expensive as well.
A. H.
I'm giving this a 5 instead of a 4.75 only because I can't understand how anyone can give this place less.
The food quality is just a tiny notch under absolute perfection although a lot of it really is perfect in absolutely every way. Being pick and critical Im just leaving room for betterment.... I'm pleased to say there is definitely not much room for that!
I'm picky...very picky... But I'd have to be picky about being picky to pick a fault with this place.
I can't think of anything worth moaning about other than my own personal little picky preferences to which these people seem to just polish over my every quirky grumble before it reaches my imagination. So maybe that's worth grumbling about!
As a package...the food being number one, service and environment.... This is one of the very best Italian restraunt s I've ever had the pleasure of sampling.
Coffee (perfect) affogato....expresso with vanilla ice cream WAW! 10/10
CHOCOLATE fudge cake also with ice cream, fresh strawberry, slice of orange, cream, and decorated with a few mint leaves, drizzled with chocolate sauce... (I've just had this and I'm still drooling!)
Gnocchi as a side dish is more than enough...they have their own style here and it's beautiful but also very filling. (Recommend only ordering this as a side...you won't eat it all as a main)
Pizza (fresh doe stone baked.... Even the bread base has distinctive full flavour.
Potatoes kind and olives also as a side.
Pilsner beer on draught!
And a lovely evening was had by all..... A perfect place to relax and discuss business with potential clients or a refreshing change from a boring night at home having to cook.
Well done portifino DON'T LET THIS GO TO YOUR HEAD....you have work to do not only to maintain this level but also to keep improving.
G. T.
Great decor, happy, polite staff, amazing steak (probably the best I've had) and a great pasta, all for a decent price. Would highly recommend.

Pleasant and courteous staff in a lovely listed building that oozes Victoriana. Food was ok. Tasty tomato and red pepper soup and mains - I had steak and my wife had seabass...both good. Portion sizes were a bit on the stingy side and the seabass should have come with veg, but was served with chips. To me chips are an option to potatoes or mash. Veg should come with both to provide a well balanced meal. All meals should come with veg or salad. Decent value for money, but could be better by addressing these two issues of veg and portion size. Last point - ladies toilets...horrible

L. S.
A fantastic after-work, mid-week meal served in an interesting setting (an old insurance company building) the meal was first class, I always base how good an Italian restaurant is by the quality of their bolognese and Portofino's is excellent. The homemade Snickers cheesecake was unbelievably good and the cappuccino was as good as any I had in Italy. The staff were (mostly) friendly and happy, but all were attentive. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, however I imagine that it gets busy over the weekend.
