Portovino | Restaurant • Wine & Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in Colico

We had a very bad experience in this restaurant. Last week we wanted to have dinner and we took place at a free table and ordered a drink. When we received the drinks, we wanted to order to eat. The waitress told us we couldn't stay here anymore because the table had been reservated, although we were already there for at least 20 minutes and we received drinks, there was no sign of reservation and no one told us the table wasn't free. We had to pay for the drinks and then they would send us away. We were very dissapointed but paid anyway and finished the drinks but the waiter said we had to leave immediately, we didn't even have the time to finish our drinks we had just paid for, coperta included. When we told him we were leaving after finishing our drinks, he even took away the beer we were drinking. We complained and eventually he put the beer back but he was very unrespectful, even a little bit aggressive. We will never go back...

I do non recommend visiting it during the weekend. Two times in a row we had ruined our mood by poor service. One day we were just waiting wine for 2(!) hours. Yes it is true. When you trying to remind about yourself the waitress answer in a very rude way. Another day, being optimistic, I brought my friends to try focaccia there ( that is the only positive thing about this place). The mood was ruined again. The waitresses are overloaded, super rude and unprofessional with the client. The fact that you receive wine after food and cutlery at the end I’d kind of rule there... Simple advise to restaurant owners: get more staff during the weekend. Otherwise, you loose customers. We and our friends will not come again. P.S. Prices are very high for...

First time visiting Colico, the restaurant has a great view of Lake Como. The waiter who served us was very polite and apologised to us for not being able to serve their famous "foccacia di recco" since its only available if ordered in advance because of the lengthy leavening period.

Instead I ordered a margherita pizza with artichokes. The wait was very long but it was to be expected since the restaurant was busy. The pizza was alright, my only criticism is that it felt more like foccacia that pizza and it felt like the pizza wasn't salted at all. It was still good but I'm not a fan of sweet pizza dough, I'd wish I'd gotten anchovies on top to compensate.
