Have you eaten at Portobello?

IF so, would you go back?

Thinking of trying this place.

Any and all comments welcome.

We ate there on our trip in Oct 09 and loved it!

The service was really excellent. She spent alot of time going over items on the menu and making suggestions. Our food was so good! I would love to go back very soon.

I have eaten there twice and loved it both times. It seems like I have read some negative things about it over time, but many had to do with the menu selection, the prices, and that the service was slow.

I think people can avoid the menu and price issues by looking at the menu online ahead of time. I did not have a problem with the service either time.

Here are some things I have had; although it looks like the menu changes:

In 2009, Ciambottino - Ciambottino-marinated olives, salame, mozzarella, and caper berries on romaine. (This was heaven - I love olives and the big caper berries.)

Also, in 2009, Ravioli Gigante - A house specialty. Hand crafted ricotta and spinach filled oversized pasta with tomato, basil and toasted garlic. (yum, yum, yum)

About two and a half years ago we were there and my husband and I split the woodfire pizza which we loved and some kind of duck and pasta dish which I don't see anymore. Also some kind of appetizer that had lots of Italian meats and cheeses.

At that time, I also had the best taramisu I had ever had - it was individually constructed in a big cup - but when I went last year they had changed it to more like a sheet cake that they cut pieces of. Probably more cost efficient to make it that way. Still good, but not like it was.

Hope that helps a little!

We have dined there and enjoyed it. I don't think it's as good as Il Mulino at the Swan, but it's pretty good.

It's one of our favorites.
Wouldn't do a trip to WDW without one dinner at Portobello's.

Go ... you won't regret it!! I had the best pasta dish I've ever eaten (while not in Italy ) at Portobello. I still dream about it ...

I thought it was pretty good. We just had a bunch of appetizers and a dessert, but everything was tasty and the service was very good. I haven't been back because I don't usually dine in DTD, but I would not hesitate to return if I was looking for a meal at DTD.
