Portofino's Authentic Italian Restaurant's welcoming crew has a long history in Waco and around the world! Nick Colaku, the owner, moved to Texas in 1999, but his culinary career began much earlier. N…
Likely the best alfredo in Waco. Every alfredo is good with or without a protein option. Also don't skip out on the pizza. About as genuine to NY as you'll get around here. I would recommend however to reach out beforehand to double check if certain popular items are available, like desserts and appetizers.

As always the food was fresh and delicious! The portions are plenty for 2-3 people to share. Trying the Shrimp with Artichokes and added spinach and extra artichokes for a minimal upcharge. The side of pink sauce is to dip my shrimp or rolls. Well worth it!!

There was barely enough sauce to coat the Spaghetti with Meatballs, I had about a third of my spaghetti that wasn't able to have any sauce on it. The meatballs looked and tasted as if they came from the freezer aisle at the grocery store. While I was looking forward to the dinner, I wouldn't order from this restaurant again.

I was so excited to see Portofino's on Door Dash! It's difficult for me to get downtown to eat there. This was amazing. I especially enjoyed the Shrimp Mushroom Artichoke pasta. The lemon-butter sauce is something I often crave. My friend and I are planning to go for our birthdays in a couple of weeks.

I've been going to this place for years, I'm so glad they do door dash!! It's so good, like home cooked and you get a huge portion.
