| You might mistake this restaurant for a sports bar, a clubhouse or even a disco, but it’s actually a casual Italian hangout. Located in the heart of Old Quebec, Portofino is housed in a historic building dating to 1760, and it’s adorned with a multitude of flags from various Italian sports teams as well as olive oil containers and even giant bottles of Champagne. Start with a Negroni then move on to one of a legion of Italian pizzas, from the “pizza grizzly” with its smoked salmon and capers to the Greek, seafood or Hawaiian varieties. Pastas include the Alfredo con pollo with rich Parmesan sauce and the linguine al pescatore with a wealth of clams, oysters, shrimp and scallops in a white wine sauce. The restaurant stocks 7,000 wines that encompass just about every region of Italy as well as the world. |
