After Gaylords, this is defintely the second best resturant on Kauai. Great food, great service! The prices are reasonable, but in the higher end. I would definitely go back if I'm ever back on Kauai again. more

My husband and I travel to Kauai 2 to 3 times a year. Over the years we've dined at most every restaurant on the island. While we enjoy italian food, when in Kauai we usually perfer seafood. But on this trip we had cooler weather so thought we would try Cafe Portofino which we thought would be good given it's... more

We returned to Cafe Portofino after 4 years. 4 years ago it was superb. It's gone done hill since then. I must say the staff is very gracious and we had no problem with the service.

We have had many different people wait on us and have always been treated great. The views are wonderful, the setting is magical and the food has always been superb. We have... more

We ordered the Ono - the waiter said it was one of the specials and fresh in - it was overcooked and dry. The pasta had so much garlic in it that it could not be finished. We ordered a bowl of noodles with butter for our daughter and were charged $12. The maitre d' / owner was incredible rude... more

food was ok but they are tricky about wording things and tacking on more money. example: you order the fettuccini alfredo and they ask "with chicken or shrimp", but leave out the fact that its $5 extra for either. they bring you "refills" for your pop without mentioning that each refill is $2. it's also $20 for 9 raviolis that... more
