Hosts started the night with a huge welcome and the night improved from there. Wanted an Italian experience and left with no complaints. Lasagne was fantastic as was every dish served. Meals were beautifully timed to allow a really positive experience. Will definitely return.

R. P.

Service, food and price were excellent

Yummy 🥰 I'm a regular here for Takeaways for the family and we all absolutely love it 👌🏻 Consistent, Hot and containers always full. Would love for you to consider signing up to Delivereasy 🤗

B. S.

food was delicious, drinks were a miss. Wait times are huge, seating & space is compact. However the reason for losing 2 star is the service. It seems their service and hospitality is designated to their regular and family visitors only. .

A good place for dinner if you like Italian food. As an entry we had Spaghetti marinara with sea food, then the fish of the day and tiramisu. All very tasty, not extrairdinary, though. The Service is very friendly, however, as a foreigner it was hard to understand their accent. The repeated all sentences many times with patience. All in all it can be recommended.

Amazing menu and very friendly staff, Really good and highly trained chefs,. Food is perfect and I'm never disappointed. Highly recommend if you travel to Taranaki.

By far the best place in New Plymouth and very highly rated in my own favorite restaurants around the world, genuine Italian family food, great hospitality, lovely atmosphere with Frank Sinatra playing in the background, top of the line Food and and Drinks. I've been to Italy 4 times and this place was a little taste from Europe and Italy. Honestly forgot I was in New Zealand for a brief moment. Go give it a try I promise you won't be disappointed.

S. B.

Excellent night out. 12 of us in our group, everyone really enjoyed their meal and the service from the staff. We will be back

H. P.

j. m.

Aside from the wait times between meals. Absolutely delicious!! 😍 Every order on our table had something different, and everyone was super stoked with what they got. From entrees to dessert. Service was great. Atmosphere is cosy. They have a takeaway service if you're not into dining in for the night.

One of the Top 3 places to dine in or take out in New Plymouth, the food is amaz-balls and the people are awesome with friendly faces. I recommend the Fettuccine. 10/10 everytime my partner and I have been.

e. r.

Nice food but seemed to take a long time to take order, almost like they want you to buy heaps of drinks first

L. L.

Our food was excellent: an antipasto to start, seafood risotto for my partner and grilled calamari for me. Tasty and good portion sizes. The restaurant seems very dark on entry but your eyes gradually adjust and then it seems just right. It was busy enough on a Thursday night not to feel alone, nor too crowded. There are some interesting Italian wines available by both glass and bottle. Warning - the white Sangria is very sweet!

A.

Incredible service from the phone call booking & advised of 2 big groups, through to amazing service & phenomenal quality & quantity of food. None of us finished our mains. I'll be recommending & coming back.

H. S.

While travelling through New Plymouth NZ, have just had the most sensational Italian food I've experienced in a long time. Food and Service were exceptional, as were the staff. Can highly recommend this restaurant as the place to eat in New Plymouth.

D.

Nice ambiance. Menu offers a great selection. Our waitress was fabulous. Could not fault the service. Meals were good sized and the Tiramisu is always delicious.

C. M.

5 of us went for a meal here last evening & I have to say Fantastic! Food was wonderful, chef not afraid of big flavours, which we loved, & as good Italian food should be. Service was very attentive & friendly. Price was good, wine list really good, plenty to choose from. And even though 2 of us wanted a dish that on the menu had no meat in it, when we asked for them to add a chicken breast it was not a problem. Thank you guys. Wonderful food, wonderful people, we'll definitely be back, & definitely spread the word. Cheers Colleen from Tauranga

P. C.

Superb risotto . Definitely worth visiting.

D.

Spaghetti carbonara was well cooked, sauce was nice, ham was undercooked and excessive . Staff were lovely. But having eaten at many countries this basic meal was average at its best

P. A.

An average Italian meal - big helpings but not great taste - would have preferred the other way round maybe we didn’t choose well.

J. H.

Love love love! These guys are always friendly and so welcoming. The food is amazing. My favourite place to wine and dine. Thank you for always being fantastic!

G. E.

Food tasty but over salted. Also very slow service. It took 1 hour 15 minutes from ordering our mains to delivery.

G. G.

A great night out was had by a group. Superb food and wine. The Chianti went down very well. This restaurant restarted a craving for Italian food.

B.

This meal may look normal for a restaurant but wow i was surprised. Best Fish dish I have had in many restaurant experiences. My wife's seafood dish was superb too :)

D. J.

The bongole and polo cream pasta were good enough and tasted good. The service was also good.

b. s.

looking forward to a lovely meal out for 35th wedding anniversary a treat as I always cook for everyone and am a real foodie. Turned into a disappointing evening, my meal came chicken cacciatore and couldnt hardly cut the chicken breast, my husband had a ok meal with a entree and main and was finished,I sent meal back to kitchen, and waitress came back with an apology....she was very nice, said would I like to re order...I was pretty over it by then and said no... the establishment didnt offer a free wine or a free replaced meal which I thought was pretty poor.sorry Portofino you are lovely people but seem to be worrying more about the till than the customer.

Beautiful meals. Great atmosphere. Lovely and friendly staff and owners. Highly recommended.

P. G.

A real italian food experience and a good one at that

R.

Great food, great service, great people. No one goes home hungry.

S. O.

The entree of salmon carpaccio was excellent. This was followed by over cooked fettuccine Puttenesca, with a sauce that was rather sweet marinara with olives. Rather disappointed in the end

l. M.

Beautiful meals. Great atmosphere. Lovely and friendly staff and owners. Highly recommended.

R. B.

Great food, great service, great people. No one goes home hungry.

J. C.

Surprisingly popular on a Wednesday night and the authentic fare explains why. Gnocchi was tasty and clearly freshly made. The Tiramisu also worthwhile but contrary to what the menu suggests Nona has definitely got this one covered. Service was attentive for a busy night and friendly enough. Pricing seemed a little steep for the location but as a tourist it's unclear if that is typical of the region.
