Cheesesteak!!!

   TCofNC - 05/31/2008

The best cheesesteak I have found in Charlotte is at Protofino's. I drive out to the restaurant and bring them back to share with neighbors. Add one to your order and you will be a fan.

Best Italian Food ANYWHERE

   charlottecard - 04/06/2007

Having recently moved to Charlotte from New York, I tried for weeks to find good, authetic, Italian food...anywhere. I tried the $17.00 "New York" Pizza that tasted like Ragu on a pita. i wasn't happy.

Then, a friend told me about Portofino's. I went there for my girlfiend's birthday. When we pulled up, i have to admit, was nervous. It looked just like every pizza parlor on Long Island. Non-descript, glass counter with several different ypes of pies, etc. But, when we were seated in the restaurant, the atmosphere took over. Quiet, well-lit, and nicely decorated. Our waiter (sorry, I forget his name) was pleasant,. made great suggestions, and served our food timely, and didn't overlap the courses as if the ywere in a hurry to get us out. My favorite, Chicken Parmesagn, was almost bigger than the plate. And delicious??/ It melted in my mouth. Now, i am not a spaghettti eater, but the way they make theirs, I couldn't get enough. And whee can 2 people go and have such a great, filling, dinner, WITH appetizers, for less than $40.00?

Try it...you'll like it.

A retorte to this poster, pizza is prepared and then tossed in an oven that is 550 degrees, there is no known disease that can survive that.

LOVE THE FOOD THERE

Have been going to Portofino's since it opened on Eastway - the one on Park Rd. is great too ! Carmella and Josh always make you feel welcome. Kick a-- Manicotti and GREAT pizza. Run by real Italians(not Greeks) that really know how to make great food. Would not go to any other place for authentic Italian. Great job to all the staff. We've even had them cater lunch at my job the food is sooo good. Love the marinara sauce and the salad dressing.

Great

I went to Portofino's on day for some pizza. They took my order and started to make the pizza with no gloves. While still making the pizza the worker answered the phone and handled money with no gloves on, and then continued to make my pizza without even washing his hands. I think that is very unsanitery and they should not be running a business doing this. They dont even deserve a star because they are lower then poor on the scale.
