   Great ambiance, excellent service by our waiter and all the food was delicious. This is our third time at the restaurant and we will sure be returning. We also got complementary frangelicos for our table as we were celebrating an anniversary.

   Once again a first class meal presented by first class hosts. We wanted an authentic home-cooked meal and were not disappointed. Since it was spring we sat in the natural light side of the dining room. It was cozy, ideal. The food was fresh and lovingly prepared and presented. Thank you for delivering us such a memorable meal.

    My family had a wonderful birthday celebration for my daughter. When our server heard, we were celebrating our daughter’s birthday, they decorated her dessert with candles and birthday greeting. Service and our meals were excellent! We’d definitely recommend to our friends and will be back again! Thanks for your service! Choy and Fabian family

    It was a special occasion and we were looking for a quiet romantic place to celebrate . This was it on all levels. Twice during the evening the owner came over to greet us and then later to ask how things were. That's service. Our first time there and now it's 'our' spot. You won't be disappointed.

    Portobello was a great discovery for us. It has an outstanding Italian kitchen, friendly and caring service and the price is not bad (good relationship quality-price or as people say value for money). The Argentine prawns were perfectly cooked “alla diavola”. Definitely, we’ll go back.

    Came here for the bite of burnaby which was $49 per 3 course menu. The ambience of the place and the service of the place were truly exceptional. Nonetheless, something about the flooring though is that i thought there was an earthquake everytime someone passes my table. I think this is something that portobello should fix. Lets get to the food: - Italian Burrata: the imported italian fresh burrata with baby arugula, fresh tomatoes , drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar won the show of the night. It was truly amazing! (5/5) - Zuppa: the roasted red pepper and tomato soup was just okay. Nothing exceptional. (3/5) - Vitello Al Marsala: the thin slices of veal sauteed with butter, mushrooms and imported sicilian marsala wine sauce and some vegetabl3s and roasted potatoes was quite good. This is worth the money especially the sauce!!! (4/5) - Spaghetti Di Mare: the wild argentina's prawns, halibut, sea scallops sauteed wirh vodka garlic, fresh herbs and light spicy rose sauce was a okay experience. The spaghetti was good already and the sauce was super good too. But the seafood was overcooked and made the dish become bad. I thought the fish was chicken lmao. (3/5) - Warm chcolate molten cake: it was good. It just needs ice cream to make it perfect (4/5) - Vanilla Panna Cotta with fresh raspbery sauce: it was truly exceptional too combine the two sincd there was no ice cream and it was perfect. (4/5) Overall, Portobello Restaurant is a good restaurant to eat italian food at. It has a lot of things to improve so that it can be a truly exceptional experience. This is definitely on the same level as baci but baci is better. Cheers! I hope this feedback helps!

    We participated this year’s Bite of Burnaby. It was our first visit to the restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious! We could taste the good quality olive oil. The serving size was quite good too. The service was outstanding. One of us has extreme food allergy so we filled out the reservation form with a special request. The servers brought it up even before we ordered! Because of the excellent dining experience, we will definitely take our family there again!!

    Again we were treated to a wonderful evening to celebrate two friends' belated birthdays! The seafood risotto was so delicious as was everyone's else's dinners. Then of course the tiramisu was fabulous as usual but they ran out so we had the pana cotta which was equally as delicious. The two birthday guests were made to feel special and Rosa added her usual special touch at the end of the evening with her homemade Italian orange cookies! Thank you and we will be back! Brenda

    Cozy classic Italian restaurant, with very good service and very good food. There are no windows in the main dining area which makes it feel a bit confined but noise level was okay and conversation was not a problem. Definite repeat.

    I've been to this restaurant before and was expecting to order off the regular menu on Valentine's Day. I wish I knew beforehand that there was going to be a set menu as one of the dish we ordered wasn't that great. Other than that, the server was great and friendly as well.

    We really loved our experience at Portobello. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff are attentive. Our food was delicious. The servings are large too. We liked their wine list. So nice to have this restaurant in Burnaby Heights. Thankyou all, especially Rosa for your kind attention. We will be regulars for sure

    A delightful experience, Will be back soon. The room is lovely and the waiter attentive. We shared the calamari and tiramisu, both delicious. The Caesar salad was a meal in itself . Two of us had pasta and one the short ribs, which were yummy, but would have preferred mashed potatoes as. Billed on the website. The woman greeting us at the entrance was not welcoming at all, the only thing that needs improving at this special place.

    I picked this restaurant for a celebration. Before I booked, I looked at their online menu, which to my surprise, is NOT the menu they have at the restaurant. In addition, if you're a vegetarian, you only have ONE option. And if you're allergic to the dish, well then too bad. Being a vegetarian and having only one option, I asked if they would be able to accommodate me as their online menu had several vegetarian options. This request was declined. Our server was very nice but due to the lack of options and the inconsistency with the menus, we ended up leaving and spent out money at another restaurant where they appreciated us as customers/business. I would not recommend this restaurant if you're a vegetarian.
