The chicken was slightly over cooked but everything else more than made up for it, our waiter was friendly and helpful and the chef came to clear our desert plates and check everything was satisfactory. Better than any food I've had at the Foreshore, if you can sacrifice the view for better food this place is definitely worth it :)
Best food in town love it 👍👍👍👍👍👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎❤❤❤❤❤
Had good meal tonight. Gnocchi blue is very tasty. Service was good and friendly too. We were worried because of some reviews. We are glad that we had positive experience.
Yummy chicken risotto (gluten free) to be had here and great service. They do GF pizzas here as well, for an additional charge. No-one seemed to be waiting a long time for their meals, and the drinks service was pretty efficient as well. Lovely wait staff.
The food was fantastic and fast. We ordered the penne boscaiola, pepperoni pizza and the veal fungi. The service was great without being annoying and our 6 year old enjoyed drawing with crayons on the paper table cloth. Great food, great atmosphere..

I always like visiting people’s favourite places – it usually means they’ve scoped out the menu, which is exactly what my friend had done at Il Portico. He recommended the Boscaolia pasta (available at lunch and dinner, $20), with porcini mushrooms, Italian bacon and a creamy truffle oil sauce. I picked the Proscuitto pizza ($21), with rocket, proscuitto, parmesan and olive oil. Always trust the local. Both dishes arrived together a short interval after we’d ordered. The pasta dish was utterly divine and definitely my favourite. Silky smooth
This is a great place to be with family for dinner .Very nice and friendly staff and foods are delicious and cozy and peaceful environment. Pizzas are so yummy that you can't stop eating it and choices of pastas and different sauce feels you are above all cooking of your own food.Gnochi blue or arora , veal , steak , fish and chicken are unbelievable with fresh vegetables and roasted vegi and creamy of mash potatoes. Completely adorable weekends place for dinner.
Great food great customer service. It was wonderful night spent in this restaurant and the food was great. Great timing and very nice and yummy italian Pizzas. Pastas we ordered was finished with perfection. Simplicity and services appreciated!!! Loved it

Delicious. First of all, I can tell we were wellcomed very nicely, we were there for my grand mother birthday celebration. We order the food after like ten minutes, after no long the food was on the table. Oh my god, no words for the special gnocchi. It was so good and delicious, the sauce was very flavorsome. I would like to recommend everyone to visit this place and enjoy the service and meal in very decent place in Kingston.

Excellent dinner with the family. Sampled pizzas, pastas and deserts. Food was superb, great atmosphere in restaurant. Order did take quite long to arrive but we were very happy with the result. Owner was extremely friendly and chatted with our kids. Definitely a regular visit for good Italian!
Great food and service could not have been better. Catered well for a minor food allergy being overly careful which was greatly appreciated. Pizza and pasta was fresh and tasty. Coming from Melbourne where we have become pizza critics this measured up extremely well.
Delicious freshly made pasta. Enjoyed a delicous meal and great service at this new Italian restaurant. We will be coming back!
We had a nice meal here, it was a cold evening out, but warm inside. The food was tasty with generous portions, and the Jier Cab Merlot wine was very good, recommended. Spent $50 per head, value for money.
A lot better than what I expected. We had a friends birthday here. A group of 15-20. The service was phenomenal. It was one girl in particular, but she went above and beyond. The food was also really delicious. The wine selection was good as well.
What can I say.... The staff were absolutely wonderful and the meals OMG, I was in food heaven. Not once were we rushed to order nor were we pushed for our mains to come out. We were given the choice of doggy bags which was fantastic. Definitely recommend IL Portico for family evenings out. We will be back :)
Was a little concerned as the place wasn’t busy however anyone that walked past missed out.
Great service and excellent food and unlike some places they were extremely accommodating when it came to varying the menu.
A great establishment that I doubt would disappoint.
