We were in town for business and decided to try a restaurant that we hadn’t had before. Scrolled through dozens and the menu/photos caught our eye! Phenomenal doesn’t even adequately describe the taste and quality here. We aren’t even finished with the meal and I am writing this review! I’m a sucker for a fresh made pizza. Not a fast food pie, a real deal fresh ingredient pie. Don’t hesitate to try this location. The staff are amazing. They check on you more than once. Our drinks never got empty, the atmosphere is awesome. Very clean, very midtones, so it’s relaxing and fun.

I ordered a meatball sub parmigiana (with cheese) to go. I got home, starving, to find a bunch of fried chopped meat very salty and very little cheese only on one side and no sauce!! This mess of a sandwich was $20!!!! Never again. To the manager..,a meatball is a ball not fried chopped meat. If I wasn’t starving it would be in the trash. Suffice to say I only had a little mostly the bread. Never again! Inedible!

Outstanding food, fast service, casual and relaxing dinner with friends for several hours. Never felt rushed on a busy Friday night, and Lorna our server was excellent. She was super knowledgeable, very friendly and attentive, definitely worthy of this month’s Employee of the Month Award, or at least a high dollar gift card or a night off with pay!!! Check it out, wonderful food and atmosphere!

What a wonderful evening. The meal was exquisite. We had bruschetta for appetizers and the eggplant and veal parmigiana with angel hair pasta. Mattia was as gracious and attentive a host as you could hope for. Waitstaff was nimble. Getting to us quickly given that the place was full of diners.
Veal was so tender and the sauce was divine. First time coming here but it won’t be the last.

We had the best lunch there today. Larry was our server and he was so friendly and kind. The food was amazing. I had the shrimp parm with vodka sauce and it was so yummy! I highly recommend this dish if you like shrimp.
The place is very clean and really cute inside and we will definitely be back for more delish meals.

The Stromboli I ordered reminded me of the classic Wendy’s commercial with Ms Clara asking “where’s the beef?” I ordered a large and had to search for the meat. Lots of cheese and bread, but, where’s the meat? Here’s a picture of the outside and doughy meatless inside. Much, much, way better at North Italia in Ballentyne!!!

Just did pick-up. As always, the primavera was an ample portion, bursting with veggies and the salad was huge!! Sooo good!! Nice to have a place to pick up something other than fast food at a reasonable price.

Stopped at Portofino’s on the way home from the city. We were greeted with a smile and was shown our table. Here is why 4 on atmosphere…. depending on where you sit you could be on to of the door, the register and waiting area. OK got over that. Our server Michael came over introduced himself, took our drink order, explained a bit about the menu and how they can accommodate specific diets, allergies or tastes. We started with something I’ve never had before fresh mozzarella with roasted peppers which may now be a favorite in addition to fried calamari which was outstanding. Main course was shrimp, veal and pasta dishes and again outstanding. The veal was so tender, my wife’s shrimp fra diavolo was made mild as requested and the pasta dishes weren’t swimming in sauce but just the right amount. We capped off dinner with a few cannoli’s which not sure what was better the taste or presentation. We definitely left full with doggie bags and are already planning our next return.

Everything was terrific! We had a pepperoni pizza for dinner and it was delicious. Very good wine selection also. Have been eating there for years and never been disappointed.
