The view was the only good thing about this place. That and the harp player. The food was plain, boring, and not cooked well. Our appitizer was burnt and came the same time as our salads which were watery and limp. The shrimp in the scampi were mushy. The fish was different than the waitress described. When we told our...

I highly recommended this place to friends based on previous visits to other locations. This one sucks you in with promising bay views but while the server was cute and friendly, her service was slow. The food did not live up to its name.

We really loved Cafe Portofino. Loved the food, the atmosphere, the harp music and the view!..So I'm not sure why people are so mean and write bad reviews about this lovely restaurant...I suppose its because they are on vacation so they think everything is going to be perfect....when it isn't, they lash out, I'm sorry but Hawaii is the real...

Mine was lukewarm, but had almost... More

how nice to go to a nice restaurant were the staff appreciates the customer. top class place, good food enjoyed the music witht the harp. started with appetizers they didn't rush us to finish so it gave us time to enjoy the talk and enjoy.

Cafe Portofino was close to the Marriott so we thought we would try it. It wasn't bad but I have had much better. Maybe because I am Italian but the ravioli and lasagna and fettuchini alfredo were just lacking something...we all agreed...Should have tried somewhere else.

We stayed at the nearby Marriott and ended up eating here 3 nights with our 3 young children. The ambiance on the outdoor porch is fabulous, great view of the ocean. They were willing to accommodate changing sauces for my picky son. They seemed to take his severe, life-threatening allergy to nuts seriously and we had no problems. When they... More
