portofino question ?????

[brwneyez424]

Hi everyone,

 

I've read these boards over and over and seen the menu for Portofino's but I don't understand how the menu works? . Do you get something from each catagory? We've already decided that we are going to go to Chops but still deciding on Portofino's. Help Please :)

both Chops and Portofino work the same you can have one of each category, or more then one if you like but it is a LOT of food as the portions are huge. Well worth it for both.

if you are a big eater or haven't eaten all day (when does that happen on a cruise???:D ) then you'll have room for something from each category.

in our experience (and we've eaten there numerous times) we have an appetizer.....spilt a salad....have a 1/2 portion of their famous mushroom pasta....have an entree and then we ask for our desert to be sent to our room later.

 

we then walk the meal off......go and get a coffee to go and head back to our cabin for desert:p

Are you planning to travel on Freedom of the Seas?

We went to Portofino when we were on the Serenade last November. I had a salad, 1/2 order of the mushroom pasta, an entree and dessert. I was very full afterwards. You can certainly order from each category though.

Had the seafood skewer last September at Portofino on the Jewel. It was awesome.

Where can you see the menu for Portofino and Chops??? We are trying to decide if we want to go to one of them but not sure yet - a menu would help us decide!!!!!

[cruzobsessed]

i don't think i've ever had anything that i didn't like but clearly one of the best things i've ever eaten ANYWHERE is their filet mignon.

also......get for desert the desert sampler this way you don't have to decide:D

We were on the Mariner a couple of weeks ago and ate at Portofino twice. The filet mignon was better in Portofino than Chops in our opinion. My husband also had the penne with beef ragu and absolutely loved it and I had the shrimp and it was very good. The Caesars salad is excellent as was the caprese also. For dessert we had the sampler and the tiramisu and loved them both.

 

Hope this helps.
