We went for the All-U-Can-Eat brunch on Sun Dec 21, 2025. I wanted to take my family, the social media video & pics look amazing. But in reality was nothing like the Social Media.

The fruit was good, but was basic, the crepe & waffle section was good. Then they had Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes. Then there was hot food section. Chicken, pasta etc. Then a meat section. Roast Beef, very fatty.

The salad section was a poor attempt. Lettuce was wilted, the other optioned were never filled, & very poor looking.

The main reason why we wanted to go was the Raw Oysters. & extremely disappointed. They were the smallest Oysters I've ever seen. Came about 12 at a time, They were not shucked properly. Shells were left in the Oysters, & some of them smelled fishy. (Not a good sign)

The Waitress was AMAZING. That was the best part.

We really wanted to enjoy it, but I will never get a second chance. I will never go back.

For $55 plus TAX/person (not worth it at all)

Great food, ambiance & service! Went last week for dinner with a few friends. Had some entrees, the carbonara pasta & a margarita pizza. The food was delicious, they definitely use very fresh ingredients. We were served by Rosie. She was really great & even helped when we were looking for a guitar pick my friend had misplaced. Great experience, highly recommend!

Went there on a Thursday for lunch. Service was very slow. The waiter forgot to give options for the meal & served pasta. Did not seem happy to return it then was rude about dessert. Pricey for lunch. Salmon portion was small. Beware

Always enjoyed the Portovino location near me & went with some friends for the first time to this Decarie spot. We were 5 ppl, last Sunday evening & our wait staff was Rosie. We had great service & all enjoyed our food. Various pasta dishes for my friends. I always go for the arugula salad & New York steak. Thanks Portovino Decarie 🙌🙂

I recently dined at Portovino Decarie with a friend. The food was delicious & nicely presented. We both had pasta, soup & salad. The puttanesca that I ordered was the best I've ever had, & the minestrone soup was yummy.
The service was impeccable, & the byob aspect made it a perfect dinner. Highly recommend restaurant for creative food & value!

Generous food portions, I find it extremely cosy , nice atmosphere, food comes piping hot & the pasta is Al-dente EVERYTIME & to top it off, the excellent service by Rosie , an outstanding waitress, she is extremely knowledgeable about the menu , makes you feel at home as it is a BYOB restaurant, she goes above & beyond ! Always happy to return, it's a home away from home at this point person.

Went alone for supper. Had a Ceasar salad, terrible. Dressing & croutons from some blah wholesale market. I suggest the owners try Table 51 Ceasar salad to understand how the salad should taste & include...real bacon, homemade Dressing, homemade croutons & shavings of real parmesan cheese!! Delicious!!
In the beginning after I was seated the service seemed good, as it was 6:30pm on a Thursday night. Only 3 to 4 tables including me. The ONLY waitress opened my wine... BYOW & poured me a glass. I asked her for a glass of still water...it never came. I asked the only busboy for it, which came promptly. He removed the salad that I hardly ate.
About another 10 minutes later my pasta arrived. The bussboy once again provided excellent service with pepper & parmesan cheese.
During my whole meal for a good 20 to 20 minutes plus I am sitting next to a table with what I hear & see are people chatting / complaining about thier day, life, etc...& it is so close to the kitchen that all you hear are pots & dishes banging getting washed...I assume.
I finished my meal & waited...tick tock...no service. The busboy finally comes & gave me my take out of leftovers....still no waitress & no other person providing any service or help to the waitress. She was the only waitress, with a busboy & no other person provided any help.
I waited, & waited for my bill or even a request for a coffee. I finally just stood up & put my coat on & told the waitress I am leaving.
She gave me my bill, & I did give her a decent tip...$10 cash
I asked her to confirm that the table next to me were people that'WORKED' there, & she replied'YES'.
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHO SIT ON YOUR DERRIERES & DO NOTHING TO SUPPORT YOUR COLLEAGUES!!
If you complain why business is not good for you, look at yourselves!!

This place is one of my favourite pasta places. The staff are friendly. Don't forget to bring your bottle of wine. :-)

All Italian food. No surf & turf-its separate items. Very little selection if you don't want pasta . Exception is the mussels & lasagna which were good. Expensive place. If you don't want pasta you'll be out of luck. We won't be back.

Atmosphere is very warm & welcoming. Extensive pasta menu & gluten free available. We ordered the calamari & it was presented beautifully. The sea bass was delicious. Service is attentive but not intrusive. As a plus, bring your own wine, with no corking fee!!

We went for lunch & tried their three-course special, which was the price of a single main dish. Everything was excellent, from the Caesar salad to the pasta & the crème brûlée for dessert. The experience felt truly luxurious, making it a wonderful way to treat yourself.

We went to this Portovino on Mother's Day expecting a good quality dinner & experience (because the Portovino near South Shore was great) & we left somewhat disappointed. As another reviewer here has already said, the food is not bad but it's not great, yet you're overpaying. We ordered two different pastas (one was bolognese & the other was seafood) yet they tasted very similar, which seems like they cut corners somewhere. Also, the pizza that I ordered was generally over-cooked. It took over an hour to actually receive the food because there was a large group of 30 people, which this Portovino was clearly not prepared for (we could actually see the kitchen staff scrambling in the back & hear their head chef/manager yelling at them). Also, our two waiters were somewhat inexperienced & unprofessional in the way they interacted with us. I like the Portovino model, but we are not coming to this particular one again.

Hostess, owner, & servers were smiling, friendly & helpful. The food portions were filling & delicious. There were four of us. One had excellent mussels & fries. One of us had veal scallopini with gargonzola. One of us had veal scallopini with mushrooms. One of us had veal parmigiana. All delicious. Veals come with pasta but its easy to substitute. There is a full course option with soup or salad & tea or coffee. Menu has many choices, pastas, fish, mussels, veal etc. Although the dessert tray looked great we were all too full. Byob is a nice touch. Décor is nice. Tables nicely spaced. Free parking too. Highly recommended.
