Portofino Restaurant Review

: Rustic, seasonally driven, regional Italian fare is spotlighted at this comfortable restaurant. Some of the antipasti could make light entrées, such as the wild boar cannelloni topped with a creamy, rich reduction veal stock sauce. Portofino keeps the faith with what is a classic Italian meal-starting tradition: soup. In summer, it might be basil corn bisque, while white bean soup may visit a winter menu. Moving into autumn, the butternut squash soup is a hit, especially with a glass of Gavi. Seafood, both fin and shell, contribute the largest number of main dishes. Whole-wheat and quinoa pasta as well as vegetable dishes are options, such as an eggplant lasagnette, another of the heftier antipasti and one that appears on the lunch menu. Desserts range from panna cotta with fruit adornments to house-made gelati and sorbetti. We liked the granita that accompanied a pair of Key lime-filled cannoli. The wine list gathers notable Italian selections, but other wine-producing regions are represented as well. A good number are offered by the glass.
