Portofinos on the Wharf

  I came in here expecting fine Italian cuisine and I wasn't really dissapointed I was just, let down. The style and decor of the restaurant was overall very good as was the wait staff. They were knowledgeable about the menu and willing to work with you if you needed a substitution.
  
  My problem was that their might have been four other people in the restaurant other than us and it took around thirty minutes for us to get our food. I have been told by people that it normally does not take that long even during a crowded night. I understand that we were their essentially at the end of lunch and they were probably getting cleaned/set up for the dinner rush so I am not that displeased.
  
  I got some fried calamari and a meatball sub and both were fantastic. Regardless of how long it took to get them I had absolutely no problem with the food. Will rate higher after a return trip if the service is faster during a more rushed period.

  He said: I want to give this 4.5 stars.  Not super amazing, but pretty amazing.  The calamari was some of the best I've ever had.  The waitress was cool.  The waiter at the table next to us was handing his card out to the guests there for whatever his "true calling" is. I thought that was tacky for a place like this.  I think I'd fight her over that 5th star but neither of us can remember our entrees, so...
  
  She said: A very nice meal, excellent customer service, and great atmosphere! We sat by the window and watched the sunset as we enjoyed our meal. I would definitely go back for another visit.

  Good Italian food. Great calamari and Caesar salad. Lobster bisque was ok. Enjoyed the atmosphere and view of the wharf. Service was good as well.

  After walking by this restaurant for a year, we finally tried their food at the taste of Georgetown. I am always skeptical about Italian restaurants. It almost always means over-priced mediocre food and this place looked really nice inside. $$. We tried their Calamari (maybe the best thing they make) and were hooked. We enjoy their lunch menu the best. It is a must whenever we have people visiting from out of town. I would give them 4 stars for dinner tho due to the higher prices. They have a surprising number of seafood items for an Italiano restaurant.

  A terrific addition to Georgetown. The food is excellent, as is the decor and service. Todd, the  bartender makes it easy to get in and out for lunch. You can even order ahead and your food will be ready when you get there if time is short.
