If you're seeking an upscale Italian dining experience with a coastal twist, the Portofino Menu delivers with flair. Nestled along the picturesque Marine Promenade in New Brighton, Portofino blends authentic Mediterranean charm with contemporary elegance - both in ambiance and in culinary execution.

From my firsthand experience, the starters set the tone beautifully. The Calamari Fritti was delicately battered and served with a zesty aioli that offered just the right tang. Meanwhile, the Bruschetta alla Caprese, with its fresh vine tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, provided a refreshing and balanced opener.

The mains are where Portofino truly shines. Their Spaghetti Marinara is a standout - a generous medley of prawns, mussels, and calamari, all nestled in a rich tomato-garlic sauce that manages to be both bold and refined. The Pollo Milanese, a classic breaded chicken breast served with spaghetti pomodoro, is another crowd-pleaser, showcasing the restaurant’s ability to elevate traditional dishes.

Pizza lovers won’t be disappointed either. The Diavola, with spicy salami and fresh chilies, hits all the right notes for those who crave heat without sacrificing flavor.

Desserts like Tiramisu and Panna Cotta maintain the high standard, offering creamy textures and balanced sweetness - the perfect ending to a satisfying meal.

What sets the Portofino Menu apart from competitors is its emphasis on ingredient quality and its thoughtful attention to classic Italian preparation methods. While it may be slightly pricier than neighbouring establishments, the portion sizes, ocean-view setting, and attentive service justify the spend.

Whether you're planning a date night or a family dinner by the sea, Portofino offers an experience that’s both memorable and delicious. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.
