I had the lunch steak sandwich with a side of broccoli. Our food was delicious and perfectly cooked. The restaurant was clean and comfortable to dine in. We showed up on a Wednesday at around 11:45 am and were seating as soon as we walked in the door. The restaurant was pretty empty at that time. It opened at 11:00 am. By the time we were leaving, the restaurant was filling up. We will come back in the future.

There was 1 couple ahead of us in line, the restaurant is almost completely empty (it's 8pm, they…read moreclose at 9pm) and we all stood around for 15min or longer waiting to hear from someone. The couple in front of us left. Later, we sat outside on the patio, there was food in both of our menus. Well, I ordered and ended up with hair in my salad, the waiter saw me notice and pull it out. but the waitress was nice. I've only been here 3 times, but I've never had this issue. The water is tap btw you can really taste it. I personally don't expect to pay that much on food and end up drinking faucet water.

Located along a busy main business road, entrances to the parking lot are easy to find. This is a…read moresmall shopping center with plenty of parking although it is a bit tight to maneuver. There is one other restaurant as well as several businesses using this parking area so there is always traffic. Handicapped parking is limited with a couple spaces near their entrance and a couple more spaces further away from the door. You'll need to look for a ramp if needed as there is not one by their entrance, but that is not their fault. Walking in for lunch, there was a sign to seat yourself. The restaurant was slightly less than half full. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. There is a low wall on the left with tables on the other side which may be a bit more private or less busy. Most of the booth seats we passed need recovering and the general decor is older and could use a freshening. There is also a small bar in rear with about six stools. There is some background music noticeable but at a low volume which did not interfere with conversation. The temperature inside was rather cool and we left our coats on during our meal. Our waitress came by within a few seconds of us sitting down. She took our drink order and brought the drinks back within a minute. We asked for a few minutes to review the menu. After about ten minutes she returned, apologizing for getting distracted with bussing tables and taking other orders. It appears the restaurant was understaffed and our waitress was performing many tasks. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees. One appetizer dip came out piping hot in about ten minutes. The Buffalo Chicken dip was very good. There is distinct Buffalo flavor without significant spiciness. The majority of the included chicken was shredded as expected but there was one very large chicken piece in the middle. This needed a fork and knife to break apart to eat. The accompanying pita-type chips were warm, crispy on the outside and little puffy inside. The remaining appetizer was delivered about five minutes later, with the two entrees about five minutes after that. The Fall special Four Cheese Bruschetta dip was good. Three of the cheeses were well mixed and the mozzarella was layered on top in the middle of the bowl. Once this cooled a bit it was difficult to use the pita chips to dip any of the mozzarella so a fork was used. The fresh basil and roasted cherry tomatoes were nice garnishes. The Johnny's Special sub was fine but not really special. There was enough meat, lettuce, and tomato to feel it was a decent value but the flavor was overall bland. The onion, mayo, and Italian dressing were minimal to non-existent, at least as far as flavor was concerned. The bread was nicely toasted with a crispness without bordering on hard. The bottom of the sandwich did get soggy by the time the first half of the sandwich was eaten but it did not fall apart. The accompanying French fries were very good, crispy outside and tender inside. The Syracuse Stuffer Calzone was another decent value with adequate ingredients to make a complete meal. The steak was decently flavorful but there was also gristle (possibly grill scrapings) included which took away from the experience. The accompanying marinara dipping sauce was underwhelming. While the recipe ideas and flavors are interesting, the execution was lacking. The kitchen had an issue with the timing of sending out the different parts of the order although the entrees did arrive at the same time. Our server was obviously good at her job but was saddled with additional tasks beyond any reasonable expectation of being able to handle while still serving the customers. The overall potential of the menu does merit another visit.

10/10 - A Hidden Gem in Newport!…read more If you're anywhere near Newport, TN, do yourself a favor and stop by Portofino! Our crazy group of 10 ordered just about everything: calzones, manicotti, baked ziti, chicken Parmesan, fettuccine, pesto chicken pasta, an Italian sub, chicken marsala, and spaghetti & meatballs--and every single dish was outstanding. There wasn't a bad bite on the table! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was exceptional, and the hospitality made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. Everything was cooked perfectly, served hot, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our large group had a fantastic experience. It's not often that 10 people all leave completely happy, but Portofino nailed it. We can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the Newport area and craving amazing Italian food, this is the place to go. Matisee did an amazing job taking care of us!!! Thank you!! We'll definitely be back!
