Read moreWe were kindly given a free meal by porrtofino as the owner of the resteraunt supported a charity quiz event at a church for Age concern for the elderly in the community! St.stephens church organised the event and portofino sponsored it by giving away a free meal,a starter and a bottle of wine to share between two in a raffle last weekend at the church. If more businesses like this gave to the community and to charity and care about people the world would be a better place! Sometimes you give and you receive and I would recommend this resteraunt!Very convivial at the heart of Richmond!The food was wonderful lovely pizza very large with plenty of ingredients!
