Portofinos Pizza and Pasta

"I have been thinking about posting this review for a while. After another bad experience, it just takes the cake as worst restaurant i’ve ever tried. The watery, strange sauce on noodles. The cheesecake that tasted of Costco freezerburn. The rubbery lobster like chewing a boot. This place has me convinced Parker is experiencing a mass hysteria in what ‘good food’ means."

"Came here for dinner and would highly recommend. Our server was Makayla and she did a great job. She was able to answer all our questions about the menu and ingredients in the the dishes. She also made sure our drinks stayed full without us having to ask for refills. I would say make sure you sit at her table. All the food that we ordered came out fast and was very delicious. Not to mention they also serve alcohol drinks and they have this black berry mule tat is very delicious. The garlic rolls are a great appetizer, but be carful you can get full on them before your plate comes out. Overall I had a great dinner with great services. I couldn't have asked for anything better!"

"We were visiting the area and our hosts took us to one of their favorite places. It's easy to see why Portofinos is a favorite. The vibe is chill, nice without being fancy, and the food was good. . Our hosts ordered lobster dishes and they looked remarkable. Large pieces of lobster, with further smaller pieces infused throughout. The sauce looked terrific, especially paired with the plentiful garlic knots. . My wife and I ordered our typical favorites. She had mussels, I had a Bolognese special. She liked the large number of mussels she received, although several were unopened. The sauce was meh. . I was disappointed in the Bolognese. First of all, it came 10 minutes after the others at the table had been served. Instead of a hearty meat sauce, this was mostly a tomato cream sauce with a splash of Bolognese. It tasted fine, but it wasn't the sauce that I imagined it would be. The noodles were great however. . Overall, the food was good, the service was good. Had I ordered the lobster, I might have a swooning review. But the reality is that my experience was good, not great."

"Tasty food, with a good variety of classics and more unique dishes. The garlic knots and mint lemonade are amazing! The patio is pleasant with only a little noise from the nearby traffic."

"I can’t explain how much this exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t expecting much out of Parker, CO but boy oh boy was I wrong. I got the Ravioli Ala Vodka. The flavor of the house made vodka sauce was phenomenal and so creamy. The sausage ravioli was cooked to perfection and tasted so good especially with the prosciutto and peas garnished on top. The entree also came with 4 garlic knots which were simply yet delicious. Then for dessert I got the Chocolate Temptation cake and holy smokes… so chocolaty but not too rich. It’s unique because it has a crunchy layer that adds depth and makes it unforgettable. The atmosphere is old and not impressive but the kind staff more than made up for it. Very much recommend."
