Amazing food. Always fresh and delicious. If you go there once. You can't stop going back. Can't wait to sit on the enclosed patio. read more

Just as delicious the second time around! This time we enjoyed a great meal in their newly built pergola. This is the way outdoor dining should be! Covered, but with open windows to let in the breeze. Then you don't have the sun beating down you and there's less bugs! Super attentive staff and all great housemade dishes. I still think this is one of my favorite hidden gems for Italian food! read more

Great restaurant with nice ambiance. We enjoyed the fantastic Happy Hour choices and settled on some great entrees after being informed they no longer make pizza. Like over a YEAR ago. We will definitely be back because that Tiramisu was delectable!! read more

We stopped in here for a quick dinner. Lots of parking available in the front, back or side. Located in the plaza with Dunkin' Donuts. There is inside seating, as well as outside patio seating. There was a nice bar area where you could also eat. Not that many tables inside but we did not have to wait. The restaurant is very clean and has great decor. They have a fireplace inside that was not lit because it wasn't cold outside. The staff was very friendly and greeted us upon our arrival and thanked us for coming when we left. They weren't very attentive at the table unfortunately. Nobody came to refill our water, which I thought was strange. The food was good. Basic pizza shop dishes, nothing over the top or crazy like all the new trendy restaurants. The chicken Parm pizza was very good. The Penne àlla Vodka and Meatball Grinder were also good. I really enjoyed the way they cut the grinder. They cut it on top to allow the thick part of the bread to be on the bottom. Wether chicken parm or meatball, the bread usually breaks. Not today, the bread stayed together and was tasty. read more

Beautiful restaurant with a fireplace, bar and most importantly, great service and food! We received a warm welcome and enjoyed a family luncheon and had the Portobello Salads, of course, and various chicken dishes, all were delicious and fresh! Our server was lovely. She was very sweet and patient with the elderly in our group and made our visit memorable and pleasant! I will definitely return, perhaps for dinner, later this fall. read more

Food at Portabella is fair - it's not gourmet and it's certainly not novel cuisine . It's mom's homemade cooking . I cannot for the life of me understand why a 16 inch plain cheese pizza is $22-$23 plus tax and then add 3 soups comes to almost $60.00. I know ingredients are expensive ; that's why there's a thing called food cost . Food costs are NOT practiced here so bring your back up card . If a soup at this establishment is $10.99 plus tax and tip that's almost $14.00 . Is this price gouging or just simple greed ? Grant it , the soup is good but not for $11.00 plus tax and tip that's $14.00. INSANE. Other items on this menu are overpriced as well . 50% of restaurants go out of business because they do not execute pricing properly ( food cost). The other reason is maintaining help and executing quality consistently .There are 3 pizzeria within walking distance at-the 4 corners and all their prices vary greatly and make no sense . As for the menu pricing, the chicken that this restaurant utilizes is 100% pumped with sodium giving it plump serving . Looks like a large portion but when in fact if you keep cooking it , it will reduce in size . Part of our healthcare is being challenged with salts injected into our foods today and this issue needs to be addressed . I'm NOT blaming this restaurant , I'm blaming the food distribution companies. It's time to back off of sodium in our water bottles , chicken , pizza , sushi , Chinese food - etc yes , electrolytes are important but not when it's everything you indulge in . This is why most of the country is on blood pressure meds . The waitstaff here is pleasant and courteous . They are very attentive to your requests . Being trained in the culinary institute -servers should be approximately 6-8 feet away from the table. This restaurant has this down very well . The food arrived hot and proper temperature. The ambiance is very dark and dismal at best . I know electric costs are skyrocketing but there's a time of day when lighting should be turned up and here at this place - it's not . It appears closed when driving by at any time of day . I hope they remain at this location since there isn't much of a choice in restaurants- please be cognizant of prices and serving sizes . 2 pound of past with 8oz of lemon chicken for $27.00 is a bit too high salad is $17.00 extra . Soup $12. Salad $17. Entree $27. Dessert $8. will run you approximately 64.00 plus tip 20% $12.80 76.80 This is on the low side , there are other options such as steak at 40.00 and or veal at $30.00 Plus a drink ???? The culinary institute of America has a prefix for $49.95 3 course meal . Plus drink .Think your menu pricing before running yourself out of business . read more

Tried to send this to your contact us option on your website but that doesn't seem so be working. Wanted to go straight to you but now we're here. Delivery order not what I paid for... I order a calzone with extra mozzarella only because you have no option for extra ricotta cheese and specified I wanted extra ricotta. Last time I got charged for extra mozzarella and charged for extra ricotta with the same instructions. I also order extra sauce and did not receive that either. We love your establishment but the last 2 times we order has been just plane bad. After ordering multiple times before and getting exactly what we wanted I feel like the quality has gone down. I have picture I can send you if you want but we might not be coming back after the up charges and not receiving what we want. read more

Food is always amazing!! Large quantities- best value for the $$ Dine in or dine out - lots of seating. Great wait staff! read more

Finally an Italian restaurant near us that did not disappoint. The food here is authentic Italian fare which coming from a very picky Italian is a big compliment. Drinks are delicious as well. They have happy hour on Saturday which you don't find often. Their eggplant rollatini is amazing as well as their mussels in Gorgonzola cream sauce. Tiramisu here is heavenly. Wait staff is professional and attentive. Small but friendly atmosphere that truly makes you feel like you're part of the family. Definitely a place you can visit regularly and always be pleased. read more

We have been going to Portobello's for over 20 years . Never been disappointed. Owner Junior and his dad former owner Kenny and all the waiting staff have always been wonderful to us. They have the best pizza around and we love happy hour from 3 to 6. They are our favorite Italian restaurant around. read more

We finally were able to make it to the new location. The food is still as good as it was at the old place. Mussels marinara, linguine with clam sauce and especially the pasta burrata - all super. And it was good to see Kenny and Junior knocking out the pizzas read more

Portobello - Pasta burrata - Italian Near Me - Brookfield, Connecticut

I've been a satisfied customer for many years. It was disappointing when pizza was removed from the menu since it was the best here in Brookfield. Although I hadn't been back since Kenny left I decided to place a delivery order. On the Grubhub site there was a place to note special instructions and I asked that the side pasta be dressed with the Marsala sauce from the chicken marsala (which I ordered as a main dish). When the dinner arrived at my house I discovered the side pasta to be covered with marinara sauce. I cannot eat tomato or tomato products as it could be deadly for me. I ate the chicken and threw the pasta out. I commented on this experience on their Facebook site and the reply was that the staff got confused by my request and thought I wanted marinara which is idiotic since I was very specific. Then, whoever answered, said he/she tried to call me, but that was untrue since I never received a call. It's really too bad because a simple "sorry" would have been the right thing to do in this instance but I guess they don't like to apologize. Very disappointing. read more

Fantastic experience, start to finish! Staff, food, atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back!

Excellent meals and big portions. Lemon chicken was loaded with garlic and fantastic.

Excellent food, staff was outstanding. Junior- owner- very attentive and caring. A bit loud due to high ceilings but that's cause it's always crowded! read more

Did dinner for two on a Sunday evening. Food was very good. Service was good without being an interruption. Didn't feel rushed, in spite of place being busy. read more

For the small town of Brookfield, this restaurant has become a great pizzeria addition for our family! Pizza is delicious! Prefer their red sauce than the white one. The white one could use some flavor. The mussels were very tasty. Great family restaurant with pleasant staff! Would keep going there. read more

We had such a nice evening. Great appetizers, I had a seafood far diavolo, my friend the lemon chicken. Delicious and had to take home what we couldn't finish. Nice atmosphere. Had a guitar soloist that night too! We'll be back no doubt. read more

Have loved Portobello for a long time. The owners are such nice men. Love the pizza and the entrees. The newer place is beautiful and maintains that welcoming atmosphere it had in the past. It's become our favorite place to dine. read more

This place is awful. The pizzas are small and tasteless ,, just like the owner. He is rude, off putting and has a general filthy grimy appearance . You can do better at Costco or even Aldi read more

Great family and couple get together. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent.

My first time trying Portobello during Covid 19. First - what we ordered - cheese garlic bread, large meatball pizza, capellini with garlic and oil and a side of meatballs. I'll start with the one thing I did not like and end with the good stuff. The capellini with garlic and oil barely tasted like garlic and it was watery on the bottom maybe like it was poured from the pot right in the container. That was a big portion of my meal so I was a little bummed. However, their meatballs the best I have tasted at an Italian restaurant yet. Their garlic bread with cheese - super yum. I have not tried the pizza yet but my fiancé did and he's from the New Haven area which has amazing pizza and he Loved Portobello's meatball pizza. I thought this restaurant was really yummy! Cant wait to try more of their menu. read more

Fantastic Italian family restaurant and love the new location. We are going back tonight. read more

Excellent food and great value for your money. They have some of the best pizza and Italian food in Brookfield.

Portobello is our local gem.. best pizza in the area! They take the time to get to know their customers. My personal recommendations are the Bianca Verde pizza (white pizza with garlic & spinach), and the Gnocchi Sorrentino Thank you JR, Kenny, and staff for always giving us a pleasant experience! read more

They have the best Margherita Pizza ever! I am now gluten free and I have not been there for a while so i am unsure of the GF availability.. when i was not so picky with my diet this was my first choice! read more

Menu has something for everyone Delicious Pizza Family run Great business Smallish place with seating in and outside patio . Has a great bar since moving to new place ... Across the street from Brookfield Greenway Federal Rd. Shares parking lot with Duncan Donuts . Won't be disappointed! read more

Four for dinner. Service was good and staff attentive. I thought the quality of the food I ate was below standard. I ordered a salad with gorganzola. dressing and thought the flavor was somewhat indistinguishable since it was floating in water. Cannot believe this is the best pizza in town. Crust was on the lines of a Celeste quality pizza. read more

Always a great experience. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the food whether we eat in, or take out is always very good

Crust is just great! One of our favorite in the neighborhood The new place looks very inviting

Food was excellent. Service was great! We had the Chicken Francese over pasta. Penne Ala vodka. Pepperoni pizza. Shrimp parmigiana. Side of meatballs and salads. All was enjoyed! Love the new restaurant space where The Hearth use to be. They kept the big fireplace too! read more

Consistently good food and welcoming environment. Dine in the comfortable dining room. Enjoy drinks and food while watching your favorite sport at the bar. Eat outside on the patio or take your food home. Whatever dining experience you are wanting you will not regret selecting Portobello. read more

A local gem. Modest unpretentious family place where food and service is the star. We ordered Chicken Piccata and two of their specials for the evening - Crab cake as an appetizer and Shrimp & Scallops over Fettuccine Bianco. All dishes were delicious. The portions were generous though the food was so good we literally mopped the plates clean with the bread. We had a cannoli and a tiramisu for dessert and both were amazing. The wait staff is great. Our server was very courteous and attentive. It rarely gets better that this. It was a Friday evening and there was a constant stream of townsfolk for takeout and dine-in. I assume this place gets busy. I can't wait to go back. read more
