Portofino Pizzeria Meadowbank

A reliable neighbourhood local. In terms of the atmosphere, it can be hit and miss as when it’s busy it can be cramped and noisy, but if you are seated outside on a warm evening, or at a big table near the front it can be most pleasant. The food isn’t mind blowing but if you feel like some Italian comfort food it always hits the spot. My favourite dishes are the cannelloni and the spaghetti marinara. The marinara would benefit from some chunks of fish and a few less mussels, but all in all I’d say hit it up if you’re a Meadowbanker or in the area.

4.5/5 Taste<br/ 4/5 Display <br/ 3.5/5 Quantity <br/ 4.5/5 Customer Service <br/ <br/ Amazing Italian Restaurant in Remuera Rd<br/ <br/ Visited this place with ex and mum few months ago, their food was great, rich and well portioned. Busy eating them couldnt really take clear photo but one of them seems alright. Their rissoto was my personal favourite.<br/

I’ve been here a few times over the summer. The service has been great. The management has always found us a table despite having no booking. I like a shrimp cocktail. I’m a simple fella at heart. The one here is surprisingly good. Full of shrimp and the sauce is tangy creamy and slightly spicy. It’s really good. The pasta and pizza menu probably needs a couple of items changing. That could just be because I’ve eaten there often in a short space of time and become overly familiar with the menu. The quality of food and portions are great. The prices are reasonable. Two courses a glass or two of wine around $100.

Friendly service. Awesome breads. Melts in your mouth so, can safely say that Chef knows his job.Pasta and Pizza too were good. We requested for some custom changes and the chef was happy to oblige.Overall a wonderful experience. Though please keep in mind that the experience comes at a cost! :

This is the place we always go to whenever we have big craves for authentic Italian food. And they never disappoint us.<br/ <br/ We love their Margarita pizza, takes me straight back to the seaside restaurant of Naples. The spaghetti Alla vongole is always beautifully cooked with fresh clams. The vibrant white wine taste with rich olive oil matches perfectly, a great summer dish. Spaghetti Bolognese is nice and rich, exactly like what you would expect from an Italian grandma's Kitchen.<br/ <br/ Other highlights include the four seasons pizza and the seafood rissoto. We often enjoy the steamed mussles with tomatoe creama too.<br/ <br/ Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a great authentic Italian dinning experience. Dine in or takeway.
