Portofino celebrates 44 years of hospitality and pride in Forest Hills where you are always welcome as family. The menu says, “Welcome to Forest Hills, Italy,” and at Portofino you’ll be tended to in comfort while enjoying traditional Italian cuisine, wines and great cocktails. Whether you are celebrating one of life’s special occasions or your average weeknight, Portofino is ideal for gatherings of friends and family.

Enjoy a dirty martini, a botanical martini, Cosmopolitan, or a nice glass of Chianti, Malbec, or Montepulciano while you peruse the menu and nibble on warm, crusty garlic bread. My charming companion started with a steaming bowl of pasta e fagioli home made soup, while I gobbled up a platter of tender, grilled calamari served with savory chick peas.
