Upscale and elegant, this spacious restaurant shares quarters with professional offices in a renovated warehouse. Its candlelit dining rooms still retain the building's rustic charms while adding white linens and intriguing local art. Bustling and popular, Portofino also has a way with food, marrying Italian tradition with California innovation. Tempting pastas, fresh fish, tender steaks, and incredible seared scallops and steamed mussels offer proof of the gourmet menu, and a well-stocked bar offers great wines, cognacs, and bourbons. Opt for the wonderful outdoor patio when the weather accommodates.   (© 10Best)

Try one of the fabulous pasta dishes in this renovated warehouse that also features local artwork and great atmosphere. (from Southern Living)

I have been dining at Portofino for the last 5 years. My favorites are the ravioli with garlic sage butter, goat cheese and apple walnut salad, and the bruschetta with gorgonzola cheese. There is no better food or wine list in town. I love this place!
