We come to Daytona once or twice a year. We have passed by Porto Fino many times as their parking lot is always crammed full of customers. This tells me to try this place! We finally tried it tonight! From the charm of the outside to the Greek-Italian decor of the inside we were pleased. George(greek) and Wife (Italian) saw me taking pics of the outside and upon entering their restaurant, immediately struck up a conversation with me. I very much enjoyed our convo as it reminded me of family owned restaurants of the past. People touching tables and caring about their customers. Ok. Now the food. Delicious. If you are a true italian fan, then you'll quickly realize that just the basic gravy had been made with love. Time and effort. I like to order sautes at potentially good restaurants instead of the pasta. It let's me know if there's a good chef. I ordered the Chicken Francais which was a play on Piccata. Fantastic. My wife ordered the eggplant parmesan. It was so thick and layers of goodness. Portions are above par at Porto-Fino as well! Our servers name was Jennifer and she was awesome. Took the time to answer our questions about the menu. You could tell she loved her job! If your in the Daytona Shores area, give this place a try! Thank you George & Linda! We enjoyed our experience in your restaurant!

I wish I could leave a better review. We had heard amazing things about the food here. What little bit of food we were willing to try seemed to have very good flavor. First impression was wonderful we were seated by a very friendly blonde with a pony tail. We had Linda as our waitress. She wasn’t very friendly or personable and I wish I could say that was the worst we experienced. I have never been to a restaurant that it is acceptable to wear your hair down while serving food. When she delivered our tray of food her hair was RESTING in the food! It would have been disgusting enough to have found a single hair in our food BUT we watched her come to the table with a whole chunk of her hair sitting in the sauce on one of our plates. That’s extremely disgusting. We pointed it out and she shrugged her shoulders with attitude and walked away!!!! After, that we didn’t see her again except to drop off the check. Our drinks wouldn’t have been refilled if it wasn’t for the nice gentleman clearing tables. He was so incredibly friendly and concerned on why we didn’t eat our food and didn’t want to take it with us. I wish we had been able to catch the blonde and busboys name because we would be willing to come back and try again but only due to them and they deserve credit for that. Our waitress also had her hair that had fallen out stuck all over her clothes which says it’s probably falling into a lot of food. Management needs to be aware and fix this immediately.

It's like stepping back in time to a 1950's-60's supper club. Plastic-covered table cloths, fading Italian artwork on the paneled walls, and an "All-Sinatra-All-the-Time" soundtrack. The table staff are all seasoned pros who don't hesitate to get sassy with the guests. The food is okay - but not much more than that. Our dinner companions who ordered pasta dishes (Lasagna and a variety plate with Manicotti, Ravioli, and Stuffed Shells) enjoyed their entrées more than we enjoyed our chicken dishes. The chicken breasts in our entrées (Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Porto Fino, named for the restaurant) had been pounded too thin then overcooked, so they were drier and tougher than they should have been. The side salad was unremarkable, and the other sides were not worth eating. The broccoli arrived cold and the side of spaghetti was bland and ordinary - not even as good as you'd make at home, much less restaurant quality. The house-made bread didn't meet expectations - although it was warm, it had almost no detectable flavor. If you have a hankering for Italian food while in Daytona Beach, this might scratch the itch somewhat, but I predict it won't be a highlight of your stay.

We had the best dinner and the sweetest server! We ordered the pepperoni pizza and usually I’m not a big pizza fan but it was delicious and the cheese pull was so satisfying! The New York strip Med Rare was delicious! My daughter ordered the chicken Alfredo it was also 10/10. Salad with the house Italian dressing is a must try!

Casual style Italian restaurant. We started with the Calamari, it was good but the sauce was just ok. We ordered the House Special... veal, shrimp & chicken marsala. It was also just ok. But then we split the 2 topping pizza with mushrooms and chicken. SO GOOD! Atmosphere was nice with Italian music playing. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Parking is a little tight, but it's a decent stop on the map.
