Portobello Cucina Italiana — Restaurant in Jupiter

Terrible experience!!! the food was absolutely insipid and poorly presented. Is unbelievable that in a 40 dollars average per plate menu, there is not fresh Parmesan cheese available. Looks that the chef does not have fresh Garlic, Basil , Oregano and even salt, The Manhattan Clam Chowder was made with canned soup with some diced clams. The Mojito has , more than anything , ice. We were outdoors and there was a lot of flies around us. Finally the waiter has to ask first before pickup the service.

Hello Andres, To be perfectly honest, replying to comments such as these is a terrible experience! Lacking flavor? You meant sugar didn't you! Our food is prepared fresh, using fresh ingredients without added sugar. WE DON"T add sugar for many reasons. If a person is used to eating Chef Boyardee, for example, they will definitely notice food less sweet when dining here. And you obviously missed our vast herb garden outside. I want to apologize about the Mojito. We did not know you invented the drink! On a hot day, it is customary for people, who have access to ice, to put a little in every drink known to man. We certainly would have made you a Mojito without ice had you asked.

Good Evening Mr Owner :

I was expecting a some kindly and respectful answer about my experience yesterday in your restaurant, but your irony made me laugh; There are people that have had bad experiences in a lot of restaurants better than yours, and you have to respect their opinions, no matter if you are not agree. I was looking for tasteful food. If you see the Gordon Ramsey's Show ,there are thousands of people like you that think that own the best restaurant, and they are completely wrong. But It is okay.

I missed your opinion about your Parmesan Cheese where do you get it? Walmart, Target or Dollar tree?? I think that your prestigious restaurant deserves more than the cheap "Kraft" grated Parmesan cheese for the guest; a shiny grinder with a fresh mature Parmesan would...

I don’t even know if their food is any good I just didn’t feel like getting dressed up to go out for dinner but I do love Italian food so I called and believe me they are so rude on the phone. I told him that there are people skills are very bad And I hope their food is better than their demeanor on the phone. I just asked for spaghetti with meatballs and I said what comes with it and he said spaghetti and meatballs on my no sir does it come with bread? Does it come with the salad does it come with anything? Just curious because if not, I’d like to order them separately or comes with bread OK does it come with garlic bread or regular bread or what kind of bread it comes with bread if you want garlic bread that’s extra and you have to pay for it which I don’t mind paying for it but if I would’ve asked, does it come with regular bread or garlic bread? He wouldn’t have even brought it to my attention that they do have garlic bread. He just sounded annoyed that they had to take an order then I asked does it come with the salad? He ignored me I said you know what OK how much is the spaghetti with meatballs with the garlic bread? Oh I don’t know what do you mean you don’t know I have to put it in the computer I guess that’s too much to ask for them to do their job won’t be eating...

What a beautiful dinner we had at this restaurant. We tried the broccoli Rabe with sausage appetizer, and the burratta with prosciutto ,tomato and red pepper. Both yummy. 3 of us ordered Scarpiello delicious. 2 with veal, 1 with chicken on the bone. A hearty large portion (bite size) easy to eat. 1 had veal saltamboccaon a bed of spinach. All delicious. Wonderful crispy bread served with butter patts and baked garlic in oil. Spreadable for you're bread. They also havea lovely dessert menu, with espresso martini on the dessert side. Hot espresso, or hot tea. We ordered 1 slice of chocolate cake. Very decadent and moist accompanied by a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also carry black sambuca for you're espresso my husband was happy about that. Not alot of places carry it. The bottle of wine we shared was so delicious. A little pricey but who cares lol . We say Yolo! You only live once. Luis was our waiter .excellent excellent service through the entire dinner. Very knowledgeable about menu. Gave great suggestions. His wait staff team also excellent. Made for a very enjoyable evening. Hope to return very...
