Portofino’s, a premier Italian restaurant in Morristown, proves to be a local culinary staple as it boasts a fine reputation for serving first-class Italian cuisine and fostering a warm and welcoming environment. As each dish is prepared with loving attention to detail, and perhaps best known for its family recipe “Our Famous Meatballs”, Portofino’s has been welcoming both locals and visitors since the early 90’s as a pizzeria. Since then, it has evolved into a white tablecloth establishment, celebrating the very best of the Italian dining experience. Whether guests are looking to meet for a casual meal, host a business luncheon, or honor a special occasion, Portofino’s elegant yet comfortable vibe provides the perfect setting.
Lisa Vitiello, owner of Portofino’s since 2015, has created a menu which showcases the perfect blend of Italian classics, including an array of pastas tossed in a Grana Padano cheese wheel, delectable meat and seafood dishes, and of course, the renowned Sunday Gravy. With this, a variety of weekly specials are also offered. Portofino’s uses the freshest of ingredients to create dishes of distinguished flavor and caliber your palette will remember! Portofino’s operates on a B.Y.O. policy, and guests are encouraged to bring their favorite wine to pair and enjoy with their meals. And every Sunday Portofino’s offers a Sunday special that includes a Caesar salad, Rigatoni with sausage, ribs and meatballs, Chicken Parm and Cannoli for dessert for only $35 per person plus tax, dine in or take out.
Portofino’s is also well-known for its outstanding catering services with its sister company “Simply Lisa’s Catering”. From providing meals on-site for private parties of up to 80 guests in their designated function room, to large off-site events such as corporate and weddings, Portofino’s has been serving guests at events big and small for almost a decade. Along with any of the items from the full menu, guests may order pizzas to-go, a tasty and beloved treat exclusive to the takeout menu.
Portofino’s sets itself apart with its delicious chef-prepared dishes, exceptional personal service, inviting ambiance and decor, beautiful outdoor dining area and of course, Cinnabon - the restaurant’s very own “brand ambassador” a loveable French bulldog. If you are lucky, you may occasionally run into her welcoming guests at the receptionist desk!
