We've lived in the neighborhood for years and finally made it in. I wish we'd come sooner!
We were able to make a Saturday reservation day-of and were able to get outdoor seating. The service was very professional.
We both ordered a special for our entree. The salmon carpaccio appetizer was fresh
Excellent italian food and good service. The wine list is also good. They have both an indoor and outdoor eating area. Parking can be a bit difficult during busy times.
We had an alumni gathering for 10 there for lunch. Setup/service: impeccable. The items on the expansive menu were universally praised by our guests. The bucata, meatballs and mushroom chicken, my dishes, were exceptionally well prepared. While small, the space is well laid-out and comfortable for
The best Italian Food in Santa Monica! We are locals and we frequent them all... including the one in the canyon and the one surrounded by hotels. If you want the absolute best Italian Food in Santa Monica, Portofino is just IT!!
It's been a while since I have been here and the food is excellent. However I was disappointed by our waiter. He was rude to my daughter and made us feel uncomfortable.
I only stayed because our busser was great.
It feels like being in Italy, the atmosphere is Divine as well as the food, and service. We were super pleased.
Thank you!

Why go to any other Italian restaurant?
Love the classic yet elegant, East Coast kind of energy. All our dishes and apps were outstanding, only thing I thought was kind of meh was the tiramisu, which was a little bland.
Had the breaded veal (off menu special). Was delicious with a side of marira sauce.
People are going to think I'm getting soft when I give such glowing reviews, yet, here's another restaurant that deserves the mention.
Not being a professional food critic it's hard to evaluate how to review Italian food. I think every American has had their share of Italian food and it ranges just
Love Love Love this place! They have much more seating now that they can be outside. The pasta is fantastic. I wasnt a fan of their plain sauce but it each their own. Service is hilarious and quick. Our waiter recommended something a little different, prepared us for what it would be like and was ri
I love everything about this restaurant, The food is absolutely amazing! I’ve tried so many different places I always end up coming back to this place. we had the pleasure to deal with Julian he’s amazing, great recommendations on the menu and very kind. Thank you all.
High quality Italian fare, not the usual red sauce and pizza, this borders on gourmet. Been a Montana Ave. staple forever, the patio out front has given the place new life. Heck, now you're eating A + Italian food out on trendy Montana, epic people-watching, doesn't get much better in that dept. Gre
Literally their service is amazing… all waiters and waitresses were on their sh*t.. very kind, very aware of their customers. Food was also amazing. Would highly recommend even during covid. Also, amazing wine selection - only serves wine for alcohol tho.
One of our most favorite Italian restaurants on the Westside. Their creations are the best. My favorite dish is their Burrata con Prosciutto. It has become my "usual" The waiters are Italian. If you speak the language . . .
Best food I’ve ever tasted! I mean really, you will never taste Italian food as scrumptious as this. The waiters are amazing, the ambiance is impeccable, and the wine in divine. The restroom is great and it smells like a field of wildflowers. In conclusion 12/10 would recommend! I can eat here every
Delicious, authentic, high end without being annoying about it. Really nice staff. Dog friendly!
Loved this place! The ambiance was nice and quaint. Service was wonderful. The food was full of flavor and fresh.
Good portions and high marks for the steam clams with wine and garlic sauce appetizer but smaller portion on the dinners. A bit pricey for the small dinner portions but did enjoy everything we received.
