Lunch was amazing, staff greeted us warning & explained their specials in detail, food was yummy, best snapper in a long time, for sure will be back to many more meals, well done all staff & owner
Five stars for food, but the young lady that seated us was too busy to take our order because she was socialising with some guests at another table. When she finally came and took our order we thought not long now and we will be eating. Time of seating 1 pm. We were wrong two more families come in that she knew. Next thing we know they have drinks and food and we were still waiting to have a drink. It was almost 2 pm before we got a drink and 2:30 before food arrived. Very disappointed in the service even if the food is five star. Also after going there for years I noticed the air conditioning ducts are filthy, and the whole place looks tired. Might not of noticed if service hadn't of lapsed so much. Wasn't even busy when we walked in. You may ask why we stayed, it's the food that lured us there again.
Looks like this restaurant has moved from its previous location one door up. I was surprised at the previous reviews as after we ordered food came out less that 10 minutes later and was delicious and fresh. The service was amazing and would highly recommend. Maybe they have changed ownership or improved considerably since last reviews a few months ago.
Love this place right in the centre of Freo! We had the pasta fresca special and it was delicious, you can definitely taste that it is fresh. My husband had the lamb shank and it was so tender. The service is friendly, we will be back again!
This place is definitely on the pricier side for me but with the fresh seafood that they whip out in their foods, I'm all down for it. It is seriously the finest seafood I've ever had in my pasta, so much that I can taste the ocean flavours in them. Had the marinara and previously the Portorosa spaghetti. Was brilliant, tho I prefer the portorosa spaghetti over the other. The pizza is also good. The server was very friendly and we were very happy with our foods and the vibe the entire restaurant gave. Would come back again (if I have the $$$)!
Looks like your pretty stock standard informal Italian restaurant, except that they have really fresh seafood which was delicious. It was mid-week and absolutely dead, so there was no atmosphere. The waiter didn't seem particularly keen on giving us a bit of entertainment either haha as I was trying to talk to her and getting nothing back. Oh well. I had the spaghetti portorosa, was delicious.
We had a wonderful lunch for 20+family today. The food and service were excellent. Thoroughly recommend for authentic Italian food. Staff were top notch and the food superb. The calamari, saltimbocca and pizza was perfect. High recommendation.
After mulling around Fremantle my wife and I took a shot at Portorosa having not been to a new place u are always hesitant.
We settled on the seafood platter for one (which fed us both) the scallops,prawns,chilli muscles and squid were superb along with a antipasto platter.
If your after genuine hearty non gimmicky food that delivers on taste and portion size I suggest Portorosa you can't go wrong!
I loved thin pizza with crunchy edges there.
Service is attentive and I have no complaints.
I am confused when people say 'good restaurant, everything was great' and they give only 3-4 stars. Here is your 5 for the pizza ! :)
Will be back
The service at Portorosa is good. Had lunch with my brother. I had the crab linguine while my brother had the seafood marinara. Food was average and tasty. Had a tiramisu which was pretty good. Had a lovely afternoon here.
My brother and I came here for lunch after my go to place was closed. It was a Thursday and the place was not too busy so easy to find a table out on the verandah. The friendly waitress gave us the menus and water. I decided on the Gnocchi with prawns and a glass of white wine and my brother, the seafood risotto and a juice. Drinks came out quickly. Love the views from here now that the road has been closed and changed into a walkway. The food arrived looking and smelling wonderful. We were offered cracked pepper and cheese. My gnocchi were perfect and loved it with the prawns; simple but wonderful dish! My brother loved his risotto too. Wonderful food with friendly service; will be back.
Had an amazing meal at the new Portorosa in Spearwood last night. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was beautiful. I had the eye fillet cooked to perfection for my main. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. Will definitely be back. The service was also excellent by the friendly blonde girl with the lovely nails. This is a five star experience, thanks to all!
Easily the best Italian restaurant we have tried in Perth. The seafood spaghetti was simply heavenly, the best we have tasted. The pizza was wonderful too. Would have returned anytime for the spaghetti, if we were staying one more night
Really enjoyed a family lunch here today. Service was good and food was excellent. Only slight hiccup was that as a group of 10 the chairs were very squashed together, however, 2 of our party were unable to make it so the spacing worked out in the end. Everyone there was very happy with the extensive offerings on the menu and the food served looked good and tasted great. Licensed with a reasonable wine and beer selection. A place we all look forward to returning to
Amazing Kilpatrick oysters and prawn pasta, with quick service @ 60% - 80% capacity. I would go hear again and try more of the seafood pastas.
The pizza was soggy and thin in the middle making it hard to eat (but the flavours were great). The decor inside felt heavy and claustrophobic due to the fabric chairs, bright lights and beige aesthetic. If you are dining here, eat outside it felt much nicer :)
Good italian cuisine at a pretty reasonable price! I thought that the dishes had a good amount of flavour in them and they were very well portioned. The ambience of the restaurant was nice, we went on a quieter night so there were a few spare tables but easy to imagine the place packing out on a weekend. Food came very fast and the waiters were helpful. The Italian scene in Fremantle is pretty competitive but if you haven’t been here before then give it a shot!
Great Italian restaurant, quality food and service. Very popular and worth booking.
Andrea is a machine, best top waiter going in freo!
They do take away also.
Best pizzas and pastas! Truly delicious. The pizza bread is soft and crispy at the same time. The toppings are fresh and yummy, everything is just right.
We love to sit outside by the street to eat and drink while watching parade of fancy or unique cars and bikes passing by. Excellent service by the waiter and waitress. 👍
