Portofino Review

The warm and inviting decor of this trattoria, complete with hanging lamps, evokes northern Italy. We think La Trattoria will feed you better, but this place has its devotees, and some locals insist that it's the most romantic-looking Italian restaurant in Bermuda.

You'll find well-prepared, reasonably priced specialties, including classic minestrone; three kinds of spaghetti; freshly made pastas, including lasagna, ravioli, and cannelloni; and 18 varieties of 9-inch pizzas. There are also familiar Italian dishes such as Venetian-style liver, veal parmigiana, chicken cacciatore, and beefsteak pizzaiola. Some members of the long-lived Italian staff have been here longer than virtually anyone can remember, adding to its sense of stability and charm. Your best bet is one of the freshly made daily specials. There's a limited selection of Italian wines.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
