Hawaiian Pizza
Brad C.

There is no shortage of pizza places around the beach so trying to decide which to eat at and where to avoid can be a challenge. Papa's is unassuming in a strip mall, but don't let that keep you away. It's a good find. The crust is thinner like New York style with good chewiness. We've had a number of their pizzas including white pizza and specialty ones. So far, never disappointed. I like their prices compared to others too. The 10" are plenty big for one person and the 12" are good for one person who likes a few slices left over. People are always very friendly and service is good. They've always been pretty quick, even when busy. Recommend!

The Greek Pizza
Dani R.

If you like thin crust pizza you will love this place! Their crust is very thin and crunchy. Just because the crust is thin they load on the toppings! It's great to find a place that actually sells a large pizza that it large indeed. Papas was one of my favorite pizza places in the area last time I lived here and glad to see it remains just as good years later. My first week in my new house I ordered from here twice! Subs and salsa the first time and pizza the second. For years now I have been in search of a meatball sub that was just as good or better than one I had in Billings Montana (of all places to find a good meatball sub, lol) but I have at Papa's and it's very exciting to have the meatball sub that rivals the one from Billings five minutes from my house. The pasta dishes looked amazing both times I was in to pick up my food so I plan to try their pasta if I can bring myself to move beyond the pizza and meatball sub.

Food

Ordered 12" half cheese, half pep pizza and a side salad last night. Way overpriced. $25.64. The salad was 6.25 for a handful of lettuce, a few shredded carrots and cheese. See the pic for the food. This used to be a place we liked going. No more, average food, premium prices.

Eggplant Parmesan Sandwiche
Fabulous C.

Sure wish you knew when you order to go if the good chef or the bad chef is on because they are so inconsistent. I also am once again reminded that to get this sandwich should only be in restaurant (in case this happens they can adjust) Once again, dry as can be. Where's the sauce n cheese? Should've ordered extra on the side like last time (except it didn't need it then) but it did the time before! By the time you get home it's too late you're screwed! When they're good they are great when they suck well, you get a meal like this. Like I said, inconsistent! Too bad! I usually enjoy their food but again, I think you have to eat it there. At least this item.

Where's the beef?

A very nice happy hour menu with great food and drink options. It seemed everyone knew each other, a very friendly atmosphere. Everything was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly. Thanks to the staff, we will be back.

Location is on busy Highway 17 N. Parking is adequate for the restaurant of this size. When inside,…read morethe restaurant is darkly lit, with candle light. Numerous tables and booths available for seating, as well as the bar. And outside dining is also an option. Prices & portions seem reasonable. This place appears to get quite busy and also looks to have many regulars. Family-owned- European and Northern Italian influence. We came on a Saturday night, shorty before close, so we were able to get two seats at the bar. Our bartender was extremely attentive throughout our visit. Complementary bread is provided. Comes with a nice oil and garlic blend. Ordered the Bucatini Puttanesca & Spaghetti with Italian Sausage. These come with a dinner salad or up grade to a Caesar for $2 more (which I did). Both salads were fresh and delicious. I will say one of the best caesar dressings I've had. The pasta, presentation was lovely. The flavors bland, tomato sauce (tastes straight from the can) had no additional spices present and the pasta way over cooked. Seems their noodles are pre-cooked and Al Dente then is just not possible. This is another reason why the rating was just below average. Really disappointing. Would not be a place we would revisit.

Nick is an absolute legend!…read more We came to Portofino not knowing what to expect, and we left completely blown away -- and honestly, a huge part of that was our waiter, Nick. This guy is on another level. From the moment we sat down, Nick's energy, knowledge, and genuine passion for hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. He wasn't just taking our order -- he was curating an experience. Now let's talk about the Cacio e Pepe -- insanely good doesn't even begin to cover it. It was perfectly executed: silky, bold, with just the right bite of pepper. Classic done right. But you know what made it taste even better? Nick. He recommended it with such confidence and enthusiasm that we had to order it, and he absolutely delivered. Nick was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and just an all-around fantastic human being. He made us feel like VIP guests from start to finish -- checking in at exactly the right moments, offering spot-on suggestions, and keeping the whole experience flowing effortlessly. If you go to Portofino, you absolutely should ask for Nick by name. He is the kind of server that reminds you why going out to dinner is supposed to be a special occasion. We will 100% be back, and Nick is a big reason why. Portofino, you have a gem on your staff. Treat him well!

Thx for the memories Portofino!
