Portofino Taupo

Delicious legit Italian and warm ambience! The antipasto plate was the highlight. We got a gnocchi and a risotto and both were wonderful. Hubby thought there could be a bigger portion with the gnocchi our neighbours got penne and the portion size was much bigger. The cheesecake and the profiteroles we're both delicious

Pasta was really good but didn't like the garlic bread. It was very tangy, and slightly too oily. Left a yuck taste in the mouth. Recommend booking if you can, we went fairly early and were sat outside and it was absolutely freezing.

Food was good and delicious. Bruschetta was a bit let down. Pasta was delicious and definitely great size portions. Service was good.Food: 4/5

We were the first here tonight. We sat outside under the covered porch/sidewalk. Food was great! I had the Penne Al Salmone Affumicato. The smoked salmon had a great smoked flavor to it. I think it had a bit too much salt on the Salmon but still really tasty. My friend had the Risotto Alla Pescatora. The portions were just right. No leftovers. I also had the Peach tea. Yumm!

Very good, quick service. Great pizza dough, one of the best panna cotta and gnocchi were amazing

Friendly, good service but my food was not the best I had risotto. Everyone else seemed to enjoy theirs though. Nice place, worth a visit if you're after some Italian food.Food: 3/5

Food absolutely 10/10! However the really pretty blonde maitre d didn't exactly greet us warmly when we arrived in fact she was not very friendly at all just sort of pointed to our table and blew bubbles with her gum which was not so professional. Putting that aside the other staff were fantastic and so friendly and the food was outstanding so once you get past the front counter it's more pleasant :

The food was good. Portion sizes again, well one can only hope. The second dose would have been suitable for a small child. The service is arrogant and the wines are really overpriced for the quality. I can not recommend!

Totally amazing food and service. I have a garlic allergy that they were ableto accomadate. Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Absolutely recommend

Nice pizzeria in the centre of town. There is competition in this street with many eateries and italian restaurants. We selected this restaurant as I has more vegetarian options, only served italian food and gave a spik and span impression. We were not disappointed and enjoyed our salad, vegetariana pizza a bit small in size and their version of tiramisu. Recommendable place.
