Reviews / Ratings for Portovino LAVAL
Overall Rating: 3/5 Food: 3/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 I visited Portovino in Laval with a group over the weekend, having heard about the restaurant over the years and finding the menu promising. Unfortunately, the experience was mixed, and 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 and shown to our section promptly. Our waiter was super friendly, helpful, and 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 and 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 and a highlight. The eggplant parm, however, was undercooked. The eggplant was hard to cut and 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 and 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 and a pleasant atmosphere, but the food execution and 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.
Excellent
Great good and service. Good fot large groups.
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 and 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 🏆🏆🏆
Great food, and service!!

Excellent
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 and 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 and 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.
We were there on December 31st. We were a group of 20 people. Service, food and music was great. Everything was perfect !
It. is a really nice restaurant to go with family
Excellent experience at Portovino Laval. The ossobuco was incredibly rich and outstanding, the fish dish was perfectly prepared, and all other plates were equally impressive. Elegant presentation and fantastic service. Highly recommended.
Tailored experience at a resonable price! Very welcoming staff and Manager
Good location, good food and nice people!
We celebrated a birthday brunch with about 20 people. Great stations for crepes, pasta and roast meats were all available. Fresh fruits for dessert and a chocolate fountain. Our server was attentive and friendly.
Nice restaurant with good foods! Victor was taking care of everything :) Thank you for the amazing service!!

Good place
While the food has lots of potential, the execution lacks severely. We were seated at 6pm, ordered and by 7:05, nothing had arrived, not even a bread basket. We had to go to the kitchen to ask some bread for the kids. Food took approximately 90 min to arrived and it came with disappointment. 3 took the penne vodka but it was too spicy from what they remembered and chose to take some home to add cream The seafood risotto was generous in seafood Variety but also too seasoned to take away from the seafood and garlic. 46$ plate+ tax + tips Kids meals come with a beverage and ice cream but this was never offered to the kids. One the staff members also drop a glass of water on one of the kids, didn’t apologize although kid’s pants were soaked.
