I loved your review about Portello and wanted to share my
experience with you. I was invited to lunch with a friend there and was really
excited since I had heard great things. Unfortunately, when it came time for us
to order lunch everything we requested they had run out of the previous
evening.

But you know what? We loved the place anyway, the server
was honest and charming and we really had a great experience. I have been back
a number of times and still think it’s a great place.
