Porticello Restaurant

Great food and service. Nice water view and No problem with special orders

Well four stars is definitely too much for Porticello. This is not a bad place, but really nothing to dream about — unless you are seriously hungry and need to eat whatever, reasonably cheap, while walking by Harbourfront.
The place is rather big and absolutely clean. Service is just wow — our server was all around us, helping with everything, very polite and friendly. Excellent experience, pleasant to remember.
Food was barely so-​so, though. I’ve tried the most expensive fish plate — and the portion was very small, with food quality just «ok». There were pieces of spine in the salmon fillet.
My wife got pasta — that was an abundant portion, and well prepared. Nothing really special, but a decent, good food. For the price — even better. We were invited to try their special Italian beer, and that was quite nice, too — as well as the house wine.
Overall — I would never order anything but pasta in Porticello, and the only reason to return would be low prices and excellent service.

traditional italian fare done competently. service is good. the ambiance and view are nice, but a bit hard to find.
