I have had Shrimp Alfredo Pasta in Portici restaurant and the taste was so good the ingredients fresh and the service and the servers were so professional and friendly. Also I ordered tiramisu the taste was perfect one thing that makes me always choose this restaurant is that the place is a cozy and nice place with a creative decoration and the food is always fresh .

Super cozy Italian cousin to try in the heart of Yorkvile with very nice vibe and super friendly staff. Their white sangaria was really good and better than red. Their spaghetti is a must to try and another great experience is they don’t force you to pay 18% tax by default.Bruschetta is another really recommended appetizer to try.

For my first restaurant visit in Toronto, Portici's was phenomenal. Food was fantastic. As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised at the options I had to choose from. The Saffron Risotto was great. My friends had the Beef Lasagna and Chicken Penne and both loved their dishes. I would come back here again whenever I'm in Toronto.

Booked a table for 2, we got a table a part from the rest of the restaurant, stuck between the bar and the washroom, with two wet chairs brought from outside cause the table was not even set up. The service was not good at all, the waiting time was pretty long and the pizzas (which are not really pizzas) are way too small for the price.

The food at this establishment is decent, but it has its ups and downs. The mushroom risotto offered phenomenal flavors, though the texture was quite grainy. The pesto pasta lacked depth of flavor, and the golden potatoes were just unpeeled boiled baby potatoes drizzled in oil and salt far from what I expected. I m not quite sure why this place has such high ratings. It s fine for a try if you re in the area.

Food was less than average. Wine isn t impressive and atmosphere was not special. I ordered the lasagne which came partly frozen. I told the owner and she offered me to order another dish and I ordered chicken pasta with pesto which was not tasty at all. Wine was sweet although I said I liked dry wine and the service was slow and inattentive.

Excellent little gem. Has a clean modern italian decor. Staff was friendly Service was fast. Has patio and a dine in area. I recommend making reservations just in case. Pricing is typical of the area. Risotto was excellent, creamy, good amount of cheese and mushrooms. I will be back. Salad portion was large. Spaghetti bologense was made with the right amount of sauce and meat. The noodle was cooked correctly. House red and white were both fairly good for being a house wine. Vegetarian options: Soup salads mushroom risotto pizza

I don t recommend this place. I have visited it twice and the prices are outrageous based on the portion and quality of the food. There are plenty other Italian options nearby that offer good quality, service, and prices. The worst, is that this place is under new management. I thought it would be better this time, but I was wrong.

I get it, times are hard, but 26$ for cheese and sauce is just ridiculous. It wasn t even half full!? Where s the pasta?? I don t recommend it at all.

★★★
June 21, 2024

The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was very average, I would expect something more given the very high price tag, the pizza size was very small, more like an appetizer size, the pizza dough was not cooked consistently, some part was undercooked, raw inside, while other part was burnt. I ve been to this place 6 years ago, it was a much better experience. This time around is very disappointing, will not return.

I wonder how this place got to 4.6 stars. We had a very poor experience here two years ago but were under the impression it was under new ownership so decided to return. They advertised 50% off beers with a main course. We ordered 2 mains, 2 salads, desert and 4 beers. We were given 50% on the first 2 beers and charged full priced on the 2nd two. This should have been made clear. The two pasta dishes were bland. Pesto chicken had hardly any chicken in it, definetly not enough to warant $26. Also their salads are really bad. Its just mixed greens from a box with little of anything else (Greek salad had exactly 4 small cubes of Feta cheese, their house salad had a small smudge of goat cheese and a few apple bits). Tiramisu was bad, I had better frozen from the supermarket. Now we know not to return ever...I dont know how these guys survived in Yorkville all this time serving what they serve ...

Good place to eat in Toronto. Excellent service, kindfull and gentle. We try the pinsa , was very good, like a real italian pinsa romana , also the base products was awesome. They have a good choice of quality wine and, very importante, they have and espresso machine so, if you are searching a taste of Italy in Toronto do not esitate, find out this Place ( very Easy tò reach in city center ). Raccomended!!!

I don t know who is propping up the rating to the 4.6 it s currently at. Portici set a new benchmark for a 1 star. However, if the lowest rating I can give service is a 1 star, then food would have to be a 2. Not because the food was good, but because the service was that bad. I would like to excuse it due to short staffing, but even when we were the only customers, the server was not present. I had to flag him down for each order and when we did order, nothing arrived at the same time. 3 martinis ordered, 10 mins between each one arriving at the table. I was very excited to share the Yorkville and Funghi Pisa that jumped out at me on the menu. I would ve been content with the meal if I had made it at home, but this was not restaurant quality, mediocre at best. We had been done our meals for 45 mins and began to wonder if the bill was ever going to come. To our disappointment, it did.. After the sign was turned around to Closed lol. This was a shockingly poor experience and am glad to never return. The only positives were the mini dried rose on the martini and the company I was there with!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Portici Italian Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of my visit. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, ensuring our dining experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was nothing short of spectacular. The Pinsa Canadese was a standout, with its perfectly crispy base and harmonious blend of flavors, it was clear that only the freshest ingredients were used. The Penne Chicken Pesto Pasta was another delight, offering a rich and creamy taste that was both comforting and sophisticated. As for the drink, the Aperol Spritz was refreshing and well-balanced, the perfect accompaniment to our meal. Moreover, the interior of the restaurant added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dinner. The décor was elegant yet inviting, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the location of the restaurant is ideal, easily accessible and situated in a lovely area, making it a perfect spot for both casual and special occasions. Overall, I would highly recommend Portici Italian Restaurant to anyone looking for high-quality Italian cuisine, exceptional service, and a beautiful setting. Im already looking forward to my next visit!

4.1/5 Great find in Yorkville! We walked in on a Sunday afternoon. It s a calm and inviting cafe style restaurant. The server was pleasant and helpful. We tried the Stuffed Mushrooms, the Pinsa Casa Mia and Pinsa Yorkville. The Pinsa Yorkville was my favourite. The dough was baked nicely, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The prosciutto, arugula, burrata and pistachio were harmonious in flavour and texture. It was a very simple pinsa with few ingredients, but sometimes less is more. We were quite satisfied. We ve tried the pizza at Eataly down the street but haven t been impressed. If you re in the area and need a bite, I d recommend stopping here!

This place really doesn t deserve 4.6 stars. Pinso was dry, felt like just some ingredients thrown on top of a flat bread from Loblaws. Risotto felt more like regular rice and part of it was dry and undercooked. Stuffed mushrooms, nothing special. It s also well overpriced for the quality. They added water to the soap in the washroom which splashed all over me. Really? Can t afford hand soap? Disappointed. 2 stars for our waiter who put in the extra effort to find us some ice otherwise it would be 0 star

Disappointing indeed. We like to support the independent restaurants, but unfortunately they are not up to scratch. We had a two course rushed meal, in and out in 45 minutes, not much of a date night. We ordered drinks and appetizers, that was quick which was great. The server asked us a number of times if we were ready to order main course which we did but didn t order wine right away. We were still chewing our last bite of the appetizers and the plates were removed and main course put down right away. No asking what wine we would like, no replacement cutlery or a spoon with the spaghetti, no offering of pepper, no asking how our meal was! The flavours of the main courses were bland and disappointing. Had one piece of old stale baguette with the food, had to be at least a day old. Asked if we wanted desert, which at this point we didn t, offered the bill right away. The owner asked how the meal was, we said it was disappointing and she just said ok and walked away, didn t want to hear anything more. Gave 2 stars because it was at least very clean. Not going to go back here again.

Portici was ok, nothing outstanding but also not bad. Got the eggplant walnut dip (good amount, standard taste), pinsa contadina (liked how it had a smokiness to it but would have liked more toppings since the bread part was overpowering) and seafood lasagna (super cheesy so yum, but would have liked more seafood). Great patio. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were good, especially for the Yorkville area.

I have never written a negative review but feel obligated to, for this particular restaurant. The food is very amateur, not nearly up to par with the standard expected for this district. The balsamic vinegar tasted like maple syrup gone off. Worse yet, the service (or lack there of). My daughter found the Bolognese sauce spicy and rather than attempt to resolve, the staff rolled their eyes and said no. We were never checked in upon again. Friends and family must be inflating the reviews here. Caution to those not yet aware.

The Stuffed Mushrooms were tasty, but nothing special. I recommend the Tiramisu and Cafe Latte for dessert. Overall, the food tasted decent, but prices are expensive for the quality of food.

I literally do not like anything about this place! The Waiter was only thing can be considered as good! The food was awful!!!!! I ordered lasanga and it taste like omelet !!! It was full of cheese and tomato! And that is it!the price is really high and too expensive for the amount of food because their food barely can satisfy your stomach! Beautiful photo of the place and food are totally fake ! AVOID!

First time to this gem and will not be our last. Service was friendly and efficient, the room although small has a ton of character and warmth. The food we excellent. Stuffed mushrooms and house salad with a delicious pomegranate (?) syrup dressing followed by a delicious truffle and mushroom Pinsa (think oval pizza) light yet robust crust, white sauce and a generous amount of truffle essence. One of the best beef lasagnas I ve had (need to be careful my wife doesn t here this) seasoned with delicious garlic and fresh herbs, pasta was cooked well and the pomodoro was a perfect mixture of sweet and acidic. Tiramisu was great, the only problem was there wasn t more of it to eat! We will be back

Surely the 4.6 star review rating is fake because this restaurant was VERY bad. It took 20 minutes to get tap water without ice, our appetizers came before our drinks, and really nothing about the service was good. Clearly the restaurant was understaffed. The bruschetta was okay. I got the bolognese, it was below average. None of the pasta is made in house which is astounding as its an Italian restaurant. Nobody enjoyed or finished their food. We threw it all out. Server did not ask us why we didnt finish. There was nothing authentic about any of the dishes we chose and the seasoning was VERY lackluster. I took the entire bill which was nearly 400 dollars as as I chose the restaurant and was embarrassed to make my guests pay anything for such an abysmal experience. I would never go back here and I recommend nobody else does either. We are all making jokes about this sad Italian job.

First off, probably the best Sangria Blanco. The pizza fungi with prosciutto was A-Maz-Ing! The wild mushroom soup had amazing garlic bread to accompany it. - Make sure you ask for their chilli oil ! Wonderful place for lunch! *My only comments* The bathroom door should be fixed..After one click (Someone trying to open the locked door) it opens.

There were rather a lot of flies buzzing around our food (we ate inside). The veggie sandwich was tasty, but basically a grilled cheese - was hoping for more veggies and less cheese. Dressing on the salad was overpoweringly acidic, and though I cant prove it, my heart tells me it was made with ersatz lemon juice from a bottle rather than the real thing. Bruschetta was so-so. Lots of cloyingly sweet balsamic, and big globs of melted cheese - again, more of a grilled cheese than actual bruschetta. Really dug the wall of framed Sophia Loren photos though!

I had the chance to visit Portici today with my wife and family members. We just moved to the area in February and we never discovered this gem of a restaurant until today. We ordered some apps and mains and everything was delicious. The risotto was to die for. Roya was amazing. She came by often to check on us. We will definitely be returning and we are looking forward to trying everything on their menu.

They open the door for customers that are going in the restaurant, welcoming them. That s already a plus on it s own. Well done. Emil was our server and wow, great attitude and great smile!

We went as a small group and had a friend who is celiac. I will give credit to their tiramisu which was very delicious and was a generous serving. The reason for the 2 star review is that they advertise on the home page of their website that their recipes range to a special dough made without gluten . When asked about gluten free options, the only options were the mushroom soup and stuffed mushrooms - they did not have a special gluten free dough for pizza. When our meals arrived, they served our friend the mushroom soup WITH BREAD ON THE SIDE. Our group found it very inconsiderate, especially after confirming our friend s dietary needs multiple times with our server (and it was not busy dining room wise). We will definitely not be returning. Please change your website to reflect your menu and recipes.

I almost never write restaurant reviews, but I fell in love with this place, especially the waiter was so sweet and helpful. His name is Emil and he seems to be very engaged in what he is doing. He greeted us with a smile and was very caring while serving our meals. This waiter goes above and beyond for the needs of their customers. Highly recommend the restaurant and the food there, enjoyed pizza(my personal favorite). I d love to visit again

We went here for dinner recently and explained to the server that my partner has celiac disease. Despite this, they brought him soup with a piece of bread on the side. When I pointed out that this was not okay, we were told that the kitchen said it was fine, which completely ignores the possibility that crumbs from the bread could have ended up in the soup while it was being plated. I was shocked they didn t replace the item with a new one given the health risks. As well, despite there only being three tables seated in the restaurant, we had to ask three times for our bill. The service was disappointing.
