There is good Italian food in Italy and there is sadly bad Italian food in Italy. This place sets the bar for good Italian food. Everything is fresh and bursting with flavor. The service is helpful and friendly. I recommend the grilled fish(don’t remember what kind). Also, the house wine is really good. Just drink all of it.

Just what you need. It has everything I love about Italy. I could eat here every day. Portobello has been here since the late 70’s. The local guy that turned me on to it reveled in the throw back look of the place. As an outsider I cannot parse the subtle aesthetic signs of 70’s Italy from the décor but I can say it has the fabric table cloth, 2 rooms, seafood bar, pizza oven, friendly server vibe I see all over this city but it just is so smooth and natural here. People fill up the place and have a good time. I just contains all the exuberant talkative energy of Italian dinners. So the food. I have never had a bad meal and there is lots I’d like to try but I always end up with the same meal. I have been here more than any other resturant in Milan but I just can come enough as a visit to the city to get beyond my fix. Which is the seafood salad and mix seafood pasta. I think of this a seafood and pizza place. Fresh and savory. Oh how I love seafood salad in Italy. I eat plenty of Italian food at home in the States but I never eat seafood salad out of the country. It doesn’t seem as fresh or at home. If I had one critique is the bread they put on the table is boring and a bit dry. They could do better. Anyway. I wouldn’t give this spot away if I lived here and had to fight a crowd. There are plenty of fancier spots in the city and I suppose everyone should find their own goto place for comfort foods. But if you are in the neighborhood skip the fancy stuff and stop by and try my favorite spot.

My straight to the point review: Good: –good/quick service. It was the first time ever during our Europe trip that a cook asked us how we like our food –beer was reasonably priced at 3E –located relatively close to the central station –food was awesome!(See picture of my Pizza with fries and spicy salami) Bad: –size of the coffee compared to America was tiny(see picture) –service charge of 2E per person to dine-in –it was warm in the restaurant, which made it just a little bit difficult to eat a pizza Tip: ask waitress to add extra ingredients for 1.50E per topping I would definitely reco this place for the great tasting pizzas, portion size and value.
