  Our visit was lovely! We waited quite a bit to be seated, but the staff were nice. Only reason why I’m giving a four star is because the pasta was not well cooked. The noodles were hard and flavorless if it weren’t for the sauce. Aside from that, everything else was delicious.

  Portabella was not bad overall, but the experience felt very average. The food was fine, but nothing really stood out or felt special compared with other similar restaurants. The service was not very good during our visit, and the atmosphere was okay but not especially impressive. It’s a decent place, but based on our experience, there are other restaurants we would probably choose first.

  After we told them we got engaged, they brought complimentary champagne — such a thoughtful touch. We really enjoyed our lunch. Easy 5/5.

  Only go there if you want to wait one hour for three meals.
