    Possibly the best Italian food in Indianapolis. The service is always the best. The Caesar Salad is spectacular. Our guest had the Osso Buco and loved it. I always have the Mussels. My wife did the Pappardelle and said the pasta was best cooked she has ever had, she said it was perfect. Great spot.

    Our experience at Portofino was amazing as always. The food was excellent. We could take our time and enjoy several courses. The service was great. We also had help selecting an amazing wine. This is a great place to relax and dine. It’s quaint, authentic, and you are never rushed. We will definitely be back again soon and highly recommend to others.

    Overall it was an okay resturant. For the price the food was just okay. I’ve easily had better. It’s weird it’s by reservation only when you’re essentially the only person in the restaurant at a time. The risotto was fantastic but outside of that the food was not super impressive. While the experience was fine Iulelt won’t be back because there are other places k can go for better food and cheaper. It’s not about price because I’ve been to nice restaurants but for the price of this place compared to the quality of food I got I’ve definitely eaten better at other nice joints that I still feel we’re not at expensive. The waitress was very kind and patient she did a fantastic job!
