Portofino Ristorante is an institution along Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, the place to be for that classic Sunday Lunch / Brunch with family or friends after church from Our Lady Queen of Martyrs opposite it. I have dined here for quite a few times, and the food, while always sumptuous in my experience, can be a hit or miss for some - I’ve observed some mistakes made in orders especially when it’s very busy. However, on the plus side - the place has that homey feel; sitting near the windows wistfully inside looking out at Queens Boulevard as you drink your chilled wine. I always loved their Burratta mozzarella for the appetizer and their pasta is always an Italian chef’s kiss - their delectable Butternut Squash Ravioli is perfect for an autumn day! (I just wish it was a bit more generous in serving.) While I feel they should update their desserts menu, I always have a weakness for their Tiramisu and I am glad they use Mighty Leaf as their tea of choice (the tea selection comes in this wooden box they have, a nice touch!). The waiters are always attentive and the manager owner is much beloved in the community. When I leave after a hearty meal, I always make sure I take a look at their small altar with San Giuseppe (St.Joseph) and a smattering of photos of the lovely smiling patrons of the place. It’s always nice to be part of Queens history.

Used to go here a lot before pandemic and also a few times since. However, this time the portion is just UNACCEPTABLE for the price I’m paying. Baked clam $15.95 had 6 clams in there and a full order of penne alla vodka $20.95 was in a side order container. How much did it cost them to make the pasta because I’m paying almost $1 for each penne ! I understand that costs are up but to up-charge your customers like this is just unacceptable.

I absolutely love this place, the environment is outstanding. Every time I go theres classic Italian music, which suits the place perfectly. Eating here is always a delight. I love the way they present the desserts, super cute. Very classy!!

$33 for this fettuccine alfredo.It is literally buttered noodles. I expected more.Garlic bread was also terrible. All salt, no garlic.It is sad day when Dominoes has a stronger Italian dish than Portofino.Biggest waste of money that I have had in a while.And this is coming from someone that pays rent in New York.

Very elegant place but what I love is I came after work with my electric scooter looking bummy in my opinion, craving Italian food and to my pleasure I wasnt judged. I ask to sit outside so I could park the scooter by my table and there was no objections. The owner came out and greeted people with so much energy! Let me not forget the food which was very delicious as well! The whole experience was quite delightful 😊

We stopped in on Fathers Day without reservations, and were treated very well. The meal was fantastic. It was our first time here and will gladly come again.
