Portofino's Italian Restaurant Uptown

I walked in and I was greeted with a smile. She did not rush me to order, she afforded me the opportunity to search the menu without incident. I ordered the Crab & Shrimp pizza. Delish!! I think they sprinkled some Old Bay on top. Chef’s kiss. I will be back to try some of their salads and a lemon cello on the weekend.

Good place to grab a slice in the center of uptown, right across from the Bank of America building. The booths along the window have a nice view of the BofA building. Love that they have a water station, and restaurant was very clean with nice seating.

Happy greeting with a quick explanation of how to order at the counter, take a seat we want, and they will serve you. Food was de-licious!! The sauce on our shrimp parmigiana was outstanding! The bread was like NJ Italian bread, SO good. And the housemade Italian dressing was unique and very good! When in Charlotte, I will return!!!

Came here before a musical at Belk Theater. Normally I do not give 5-stars to restaurants with counter service, but I did tonight. The service at the counter was friendly and quick. The pizza and sandwich was delivered quickly to our table after we sat down. The waitresses were attentive bringing ice, forks and knives. AND THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. We shared a steak and cheese sub and two slices of pizza (Pepperoni and Chicken and Bacon). Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. Can’t wait to come here again to try other slices of pizza.

UPDATED REVIEW: A painful update after a poor margherita pizza left a bad taste in my mouth. The sauce on top was extremely watery and slid right off the pie leaving an okay cheese pie underneath. Disappointed that the quality of the regular pie doesn’t extend to other specialty pies. Been here on a few separate occasions now, and each time has been great! Staff is always very friendly and the place is always clean.
