Portofino Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Town of Wappinger

Server took 15 minutes to greet us at our table. No apology for the wait. He seemed to be rushing us the entire time (we arrived at 8 and the restaurant closed at 9). Quickly took our order. I was excited to get the Chef's Special whcih was advertised as in the parmesean cheese block. The dish came out as simply spaghetti with butter (could have made at home). We also wanted to get the steak risotto but unfortunately they were out of it (no apology from server). We got the scallop risotto instead which was not very good at all.

The server never checked back after we got our meal. He came at the end to get our check. Did not offer us dessert or coffee (not sure if they offer any?) We were all finished around 9, at which point, exactly the staff were yelling and throwing things audibly in the kitchen --clearly they were done with their shifts. Either way, we were still in the restaurant and heard all of it going on, making us feel very uncomfortable.

Overall, super unprofessional staff. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things, but food...

The owner even asked me about a gluten free order we placed. One person ordered gluten free pasta buy ordered a chicken that was cooked with gluten. He wanted to advise me this before he went ahead. The food was packed nicely for travel. Every single person...

First time ordering here since moving to the area and we could not have been happier with the food and the service! Online ordering was awesome (one of the easier systems compared to other places in the area - also no "delivery charge" like a lot of other places tack on) and I liked how they allowed you to track the status of the order online. Food came sooner than we expected and the quality was fantastic. We ordered a couple dinners and the food was fabulous!! We will definitely be back again and are excited to try their other dishes and...
