Wow! What an outstanding restaurant! Absolutely beautiful decor. Decorated for the holidays a with beautiful trees covered in white lights and red cardinals.
The food was outstanding. I had the Tuscan bean soup with a side of grilled asparagus. Both were excellent and very tasty.
The waitress was very attentive and engaged in small talk making us feel very welcome.
We are in Kennett Square for three more days. We will visit this venue one more time before we leave. I need to take a bigger appetite so I can try one if their entrees. The food being served to others looked really delicious!
There is a lovely bar if you want to stop and enjoy an adult beverage. I highly recommend this beautiful location.

We had lunch here. We were able to get a table with the windows open overlooking the street on a nice fall day. The atmosphere was nice. Service was on point. We ordered a pizza and a burger to split. The burger was Juicy and the meat had a great flavor. My husband ordered a Coke and I think our bill came to like $42 so it was very inexpensive for the quality of food. Considering we took half of pizza back with us to go.

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner. We arrived early and were seated promptly. Al, our waiter, was attentive. My husband ordered turkey with the trimmings, which he enjoyed. I ordered the Maple teriyaki encrusted salmon which was excellent. The desserts were delicious- apple crumb cake and flourless chocolate cake. The background music was live and not intrusive. While the restaurant was fully booked, we didn’t feel crowded. We will be back!

Very nice place for a classy meal. Chef came out and chatted with most customers. Serving crew were great.

The ambiance is cozy and the service is attentive. The kitchen accommodated multiple food allergies for me and still created a beautifully presented, delicious meal. A live jazz artist made the atmosphere lively without overpowering our conversation. This is a lovely spot for a date night and appropriate for a professional outing.

Beautiful cozy restaurant. Excellent service and outstanding food. We wanted to try the mushroom soup and it did not disappoint, it was delicious. I had the Portabello ravioli, love that it was very stuffed and the flavor exceeded my expectations. My husband had the gemelli and it was very flavorful too. Highly recommended.

The mushroom egg roll was outstanding and the pizza dujour was this wonderful creation with tomato slices on it (I added the mushrooms). Great place right in Kennett

I moved to Kennett last year and Portabellos was one of the first places I tried. From my first time going in on a busy night without a reservation with my young daughter, it was so lovely as Sandra fit us in and we had such a good meal. We have been back many times since and it is always a wonderful experience. Sandra and all of the staff always makes us feel so welcome. The food is awesome, the chef gets high quality meats and the pizza is wonderful too. My favorite is the steak entree. It is a great, local spot.

A truly wonderful experience every time. From their tiny original spot to the excellent current location, the quality of food and imaginative dishes have continued to impress. We wish you continued success and look forward to visiting again and again.

This was my birthday dinner party of four. First the waiter looked like he needed more training. He spilled the wine on my menu as he poured my glass. And the wine was pretty bad. But the worst part was my dish, seafood Fra Diavolo. The pasta was one lumped piece all stuck together. I had to separate them with my fork and knife. The worst part was it was sooooooo salty. It was inedible.
The waiter brought the manager to the table and she tried very nicely to replace the dish. They brought me a new one within like 3 minutes. Second time the pasta didn’t seem as salty so I told the manager it was fine but when I took the second bite it still was too salty and that’s where it ended.
Other three dishes my girlfriend and the kids ordered, ravioli, chicken parm, and stroganoff were at best below average.
They brought us a free dessert with a candle on it and the piano player came to the table and sang a birthday song for me. That was very nice. And the manager was trying hard to make it better. But at the end of the day what mattered was the food. They were simply bad.
Just one other thing. There were many open tables in the main dining area when we walked in and until we left. But for some reason they seated us in the other area near the kitchen that are divided from the main dining area. We didn’t like it. The atmosphere there was very different, kind of like a diner restaurant. I feel bad for the waiter and the manager. They were trying hard to make it better for us. But I’m sorry. The food was bad!!!
