 By far one of the most rudest and obnoxious experiences ive ever dealt with in my life, First lets start with the positive big portions and a good value, But lets think about that how can all this food be so cheap quality sub par i dont even think my veal was veal, tasted more like pork if you ask me. Now to state the bad, my family and i were seated near the rear of the rest and in the middle of the dinner rush we heard screaming and banging like someone was committing a murder, we heard curse word after curse word, One of the waiters had told us it was the owner berating the staff, shortly after the abusive launguage staff emerged like scurrying rats running around the dining room. In all my years I've never seen or heard anything so unprofessional, I will never go there again nor will I tell anyone to go there.

My family and I ate their last night. What a pleasant experience. The value on the 2 for 1 is great and the food and service outstanding. It's nice to see a place packed on a week night. Obviously they know what they are doing they are around a long time. Please keep it up.

We ate there last week. 2 for 1 cash special.
Service was very good, but a glass of seltzer was $2.50 with NO refills.
The salad was terrible and the pasta tasted like sheetrock. It's a shame the city doesn't close it.

DINING AT PORTOBELLO WAS A MONTHLY RITUAL FOR MY FRIENDS AND I FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. THE QUALITY OF FOOD HAS DETERIORATED. THE 'DA BEST CHICKEN PARM' WAS HORRIBLE. THE MANAGEMENT LOUDLY AND PUBLICALLY BERATED A WAITER ON THE OPEN FLOOR UPSETTING MANY PATRONS. ALSO ON ANOTHER OCCASSION, DURING A 2 FOR 1 CASH SPECIAL NIGHT - THE WAITER REFUSED MY CASH AND TOOK MY BROTHER'S CREDIT CARD AND CHARGED HIM FULL MENUE PRICE. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE OWNER REGARDING THE WAITERS ACTION - THE OWNER LOUDLY AND PUBLICLY EMBARRASSED ME FOR CHALLENGING THE WAITERS ACTIONS. PORTOBELLO HAS LOST MANY LOYAL CUSTOMERS DUE TO THE DECLINE IN THE QUALITY OF THEIR FOOD AND THEIR TREATMENT OF THEIR STAFF AND MOST OF ALL THEIR (FORMER) CUSTOMERS. MAYBE GORDON RAMSEY CAN GIVE THE OWNER AND OVERHAUL IN COURTESY, MANNERS AND FOOD QUALITY.

What a horrible expierience, my family and I were dining and while we were eating, seated near the entrance to the kitchen we overheard screaming and yelling. The profanity was absurd we later learned that it was the owner Ive never been so turned off to a place in my life. A bunch of Kids running around like Chickens with out heads there very unprofessional we will never dine there again

Traditional Italian dishes are absolutely delicious, but try to stay away from the asian inspired dishes, usually comes with some type of heavy sweet sauce. Service is average. Bartendars aren't very friendly but overall a good neighborhood restaurant.

FOUR OF US ATE THERE LAST WEEK. TWO OF US HAD THE MUSSELS, CLAMS AND SHRIMP OVER ANGEL HAIR IN A LIGHT TOMATO SAUCE. IT WAS OUTSTANDING.
THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT. THE SALAD WAS WONDERFUL.
AND IT WAS TWO FOR ONE, TO TOP IT OFF. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I'M GOING TONIGHT FOR DINNER AND TOMORROW FOR LUNCH. BRAVO!

obviously the last rater was competition from another local restaurnat. Portobello is excellent. Try for yourself. Go on a 2 for 1 so you don't spend that much to find out. You will love it.

Went Saturday evening 11/3/07. The appetizer was excellent. The main courses were terrible. I ordered the stuffed pork chop, it was brought out burnt to crisp. I sent it back and the replacement had no flavor. There is no chef in this kitchen, only line cooks. My wife's fish, a special, was drowned in a sweet sauce making it inedible.It was served over hard, tough stemmed broccoli rabbe it was vile. I see that they have 2 for 1 during midweek but it is not worth it. This place needs Gordon Ramsey. It has an extensive menu that does many things but none of them well. Stay away!
