We waited for this restaurant to open at noon. While waiting, a woman who happened to be associated with the restaurant almost ran us over on her motorcycle while apparently running late for work.

We crossed the street and while waiting, struck a conversation with a group from our cruise ship. They were a group of 8-10 who didn’t have reservations either. As the restaurant opened, the larger group was seated first (by the lady who almost ran us over with the motorcycle). As we approached the door, the lady yelled…’CLOSED’. We were confused because the restaurant was empty with the exception of the group who was sat before us at 12:01.

We started walking away, only to see two people (non-African American) be seated. I asked them if they had reservations and they told me NO. This is our first experience in Portofino, and it’s not a very favorable one, especially with this restaurant. She was rude and had zero customer service skills. Clearly we are not in the US.

Didn’t have an opportunity to taste or review the food. We will spend our money elsewhere, without hesitation.
