Nous avons célébré l'anniversaire de mon fils lors du brunch buffet du dimanche & tout était absolument parfait !
La nourriture était tout simplement incroyable, avec une variété impressionnante de choix. Il y en a vraiment pour tous les goûts, autant pour les petits que pour les grands mangeurs !
L'espace est magnifique, lumineux & surtout très spacieux, ce qui est idéal avec des enfants. Le personnel est chaleureux, attentionné & professionnel du début à la fin. Tous nos invités ont été charmés !
Un énorme merci à Lora pour son aide précieuse dans l'organisation. Toujours disponible, rapide à répondre & super accommodante. Ça a fait toute la différence.
Une expérience impeccable du début à la fin. On recommande sans hésiter & on va certainement revenir !

Déjà hâte d'y retourner.
Merci !
J'ai été pour le brunch du dimanche. La sélection est incroyable! Il y en a pour tous les goûts. Les aliments sont frais & il y a énormément de choix pour le déjeuner & le dîner.
I visited Portovino in Laval with a group over the weekend, having heard about the restaurant over the years & finding the menu promising. Unfortunately, the experience was mixed, & I apply my rule of giving the lowest star rating for overall, which brings this to a 3/5.
Service:
The service was hands down the best part of the experience. We were welcomed with a smile & shown to our section promptly. Our waiter was super friendly, helpful, & understanding throughout the night. When we mentioned not liking the mocktail sangria (which had an unpleasant aftertaste), he graciously removed it from the bill without hesitation. The staff truly elevated the evening.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere was nice but nothing extraordinary. The space is modern with low lighting & higher ceilings, creating a comfortable setting. It was buzzing with people enjoying a night out, which added energy to the room.
Food:
This is where Portovino fell short. We ordered calamari, which was perfectly cooked & a highlight. The eggplant parm, however, was undercooked. The eggplant was hard to cut & had an overly crunchy texture that suggested it needed more time in the oven. Unfortunately, no one checked on us during this course, likely because the staff was busy with large groups.
The pizza was the biggest disappointment. While large in size & nicely presented, the flavor did not meet expectations. The sausage in particular felt undercooked, lacking any char that would indicate the high heat oven cooking you expect from a pizza. For the price point, the quality was simply not there.
Drinks were fine overall, but the mocktail sangria had a distinct bad aftertaste. As people who regularly enjoy non-alcoholic beverages, this was one of the rare instances where we could not finish a drink.
Verdict:
Portovino has a wonderful team & a pleasant atmosphere, but the food execution & pricing need attention. For the cost, I expected more from the dishes. I hope they address these kitchen inconsistencies, as the service alone deserves recognition.
Wow ! Nous sommes allés au brunch gastronomique du dimanche & c'était excellent. Nous avons été accueillis par le propriétaire qui a pris le temps de nous expliquer le concept, le service était excellent, l'endroit très bien tenu, les produits délicieux & frais. Je vais sûrement y retourner.
Pour moi c'est ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Merci Portovino Laval pour cet excellent buffet brunch.

Brunch is amazing. Food. Service. Waiters. Ambiance. Nothing short of excellence. Smaller space than West Island location back in the day however every station is very well planned & no lineups of hungry customers waiting impatiently at any station. Recommend Laval to all for Brunch. Two floors for private dining upstairs. $55 per plate for the food selection they have is not excessive. BYOB. Win. Win. Bravo Team 🏆🏆🏆
The food was not up to par with the price. For a $65 filet mignon the taste could have been much better than hamburger meat & the potatoes were cold. Overpriced. Not good value for your dollar! Will not go there again.

Le service de notre serveur étais impeccables. La qualité de la nourriture étais également excellent, tout étais très délicieux avec des portions généreuses!
We came here for a birthday party , we heard only good things about this place so we decided to give it a try , the entrees were excellent a little over priced for the portions that you get but still very good, I ordered the surf n turf never again will I be ordering this , they over cooked my steak & the portion was very small for 70$ if you come here don't get anything that's meat get their pasta, we ordered several different entrees from calamari to octopus & buratta. The service wasn't anything great I had to ask the waitress several times for a straw, she never brought it then finally I had to ask one of the bus boys who took care of it right away , honestly we received better service from the bus boy than from the waitress herself. Never came by once to ask us how the food was or if we needed anything. Besides that the food was great I was actually quite surprised! The ambience was very nice looked new inside, if you don't like your job as a waitress don't be one.
Servizio ottimo e personale accogliente. Educazione al primo posto. Con qualità dei cibi molto interessante, provato il tris di paste e meritava molto. Bravi tutti.
Nous avons été bien reçu. Il n'avais pas place. J'ai insisté & il m'on trouvé une bonne place pour deux.
Le service de Mélissa beau sourire & à son affaire. Elle est accompagnée d'un aide Ahmed , lui aussi il est à son affaire. Très bien mangé
