EggDropErin Posted January 8, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted January 8, 2006 No prob. I had never been able to read any of the pics of the menus that were taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradelady Posted January 8, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Is the menu the same every nite? I take it you think this was worth the $20 surcharge. We are on the Voyager in March and we want to experience ship dining as well, which nites do you recommend we miss in the dining room? Can you book Portofino before the cruise via RCI website? Sorry so many questions but it has been a few years since we last cruised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry so many questions but it has been a few years since we last cruised! I honestly don't know. I have never eaten there. I got this information out of the new TA guide. I'm typing what they have in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hstrybuf Posted January 8, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I'll have one of those, and one of those and one of those! :D We tried Chops but didn't get to Portofino's. I think we'll have to make that a priority next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypo Posted January 8, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Last year on the Voyager the Portofino menu was the same every night, with one exception, lobster was available in Portofino on the same night that it was being served in the main dining rooms. Ask the Maitre 'd at Portofinos if this is still correct. This may influence which night you wish to reserve. Hypo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoronaCpl Posted January 8, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Appetizers, Soups, Salads Carpaccio Con Scaglie Di Parmigiano- Thinly sliced seared tenderloin with a salad of shaved fennel, argula and sun-dried tomatoes, finished with lemon-infused olive oil and roasted pine seeds Thanks so much for taking the time to type this out! We've been wondering whether the Carpaccio was still on the menu. Had it on VOS a couple years back and absolutely have craved it since. Thanks again!

sicsinohio Posted January 22, 2006 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Been on two RCI cruises, but always ate in the dining room, and never tried Portfino's. Right now my stomach is growling and my mouth is watering...we are definitely going to try it on our upcoming cruise!

Had it on VOS a couple years back and absolutely have craved it since. Thanks again! We ordered Carpaccio in a cafe on the Champs D'Ellyses in Paris and the beef was RAW! :eek: On the Portofino menu it specifically says "seared". Anyone know how real Carpaccio is supposed to be? The raw stuff in Paris was a bit weird to eat but I must admit it was tasty and we didn't feel the least bit sick. Can't wait to try it in Portofino on Mariner but I'm curious which was is the authentic way to prepare it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to try it in Portofino on Mariner but I'm curious which was is the authentic way to prepare it. If anyone is still out there: Raw! We lived in Northern Italy for four months several years ago. It is always thin sliced , usually beef, with olive oil and/or lemon. My wife loves it. Next to Maryland soft shell crabs, it is her favorite. Check Wikipedia for more information. Thanks for posting the menu. We are on September Trans-Atlantic Jewel, And I am now certain we will have at least one dinner at Portofino. Bob ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoronaCpl Posted February 3, 2006 #17 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Roger that - RAW. Actually, I believed it is seared and removed rather quickly from the heat... however it is put together - it is great! We ate at Portofinos on AOS a couple of weeks ago and now I'm craving it again.... Guess it's time to book another cruise on a Portofino-equipped ship....

ChicagoBound Posted March 28, 2006 #21 Share Posted March 28, 2006 We went to Portofino on the Seranade in December and it was fabulous. I am definitely a "foodie", and it more that met my expectations. I had the Saltimbocca and it was outstanding. I had the same dish recently at one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Chicago, and I thought the dish on Seranade was better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
