I was at your restaurant last night for dinner with a couple of friends. The atmosphere was good and the service was excellent. BUT the meal was a total disaster. Two of us ordered the linguini and the other person ordered tortellini. The quality of the pasta was horrible. The linguini was hardly cooked, so it made it very sticky and hard to eat. There was hardly any sauce in our plates, and everything stuck together like a cheap low grade pasta. It was difficult to eat as the pasta became like a glob of paste, so much so that I was unable to finish my plate. Unfortunately we had a prior engagement and could not wait around to speak to management. But I knew I would leave a review explaining how horrible the food was. I would have thought that the pasta would have been of a higher quality, as your specialty is Italian after all. I was not satisfied at all and would not recommend your restaurant.

We celebrated my husband’s 60 th birthday at portovino with a group of 32 people and I truly can’t express how happy I was with the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive and always present. The service was absolutely extraordinary and the atmosphere was filled with such positive energy. We had the 12.30 to 3.00 pm time slot and we never once felt rushed , which made the celebration even more enjoyable. The buffet was fantastic, with wide variety of food to suit everyone’s taste . The fruit and deserts were exceptional. We also ordered the birthday cake - through them- a large chocolate cake that was absolutely delicious. Our family and friends had a wonderful time and everyone left happy . I would definitely recommend Portovino, whether for a special event or simply to enjoy a great brunch buffet !
We were 25 peoples, the atmosphere was great we could talk without having to scream cause we were in a separate place, the food was super good n super hot, that is quiet unusual when you have so many peoples to serve. Service was great, price was realy great . I would definitely go back. Also you can bring your wine. Greatly recommend.
Was at Portovino in Laval Saturday April 18th for a 75th Birthday, was served by Christina K, she gave us amazing service, absolutely went out of her way to make our experience very enjoyable! Will go back again for sure!
Tried the seafood linguine and mussels with vodka sauce and fries and they were delicious. The crème brûlée was also very good. Thanks for the great service.
My family loves coming here, amazing good quality food and wonderful service. We have come for lunch, supper, brunch and always plan our group events (birthdays, baptisms, etc.) here and it never disappoints. Lora is always so helpful and accommodating for planning of bigger groups. Really amazing service from the moment we reserved to the moment we left. Highly recommend for any event, family brunch or just a dinner for 2!!
You got to try this restaurant it's amazing
As usual, the food was amazing. Love the atmosphere. Excellent service. The manager makes sure that everyone is enjoying their meal and the service. Today was a brunch, the place was full, but the service was still on point. Excellent job to the whole team 👍
Amazing service! Great brunch . Staff and manager were amazing . Special thanks to Lora , she was such a pleasure to deal with to book our reservation . Thanks
Went here for my friends birthday. She booked for a certain amount of people and several cancelled last min. The manager was so mean to my friend about it telling her she needed a deposit and rushed her to leave the table. Wouldn’t allow her to cut her cake in the restaurant when it was raining outside. I get your counting on $ but compassion for the birthday would have been nice. Wasn’t her fault people cancelled! I wonder if it was racially motivated? Very disappointed for the managements treatment of my friend.
I always have such an amazing experience at Portovino Laval. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and makes you feel comfortable right away. The staff truly go above and beyond. They’re not only professional, but genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming, which creates such a great energy throughout the whole place, and the manager is fantastic as well, always ensuring everything runs smoothly and that guests are well taken care of. It really feels like one big family, and that shows in the level of service you receive. The food is absolutely incredible, everything is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care and attention to detail. Every dish I’ve tried has been consistently delicious, and you can tell there’s real pride behind what comes out of the kitchen. It’s the kind of place where you can fully relax and enjoy your time, which is exactly why I keep coming back again and again. I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for great food, great service, and an all-around amazing experience.

Worst unrespectfull unprofessional ever never go again
Had a great brunch at Portevino Restaurant. The food was delicious, the staff was super nice, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We met Costa, the owner, who was incredibly kind and attentive—he even took great care of my son, which meant a lot to us. Really enjoyed our time and will definitely be back!
