| Italian cuisine has stood the test of time. Perhaps it still continues to delight and satisfy for the inherent heartiness of dishes which come from rural areas and small coastal villages.
|
|
While this typically rustic cuisine has undergone many transformations, it is always the most authentic style of cooking which results in the most delightful flavours. Taking their cue from authentic regional recipes, beautifully prepared, Portofino is a Newcastle Restaurant specializing in a wide range of the most delightful Italian dishes.
|
|
Located only a few minutes from the quayside, this exceptional Newcastle Restaurant not only brings the fine art of regional cooking to the city, but is also enjoys a premises worthy of the kitchen's efforts.
|
|
The inviting Victorian building is replete with original tiling and the high, vaulted ceiling which evokes the luxuriousness of a more charming age. But the premises are only a promise of what is to come. The a la carte menu is a veritable treasure trove of delights.
|
|
From the simply combined flavours of mozzarella and sweet tomatoes with basil in the Insalata Caprese, to the simple pleasure of lovely fresh bread, this is great taster to prepare the palate for a delectable main course.
|
|
Those looking for authentic Italian seafood, will have a choice of squid, salmon and magnificent king prawns, amongst others fresh goodies, prepared in a number of delicious ways.
|
|
Steak lovers will have their desires similarly well catered, while those looking for their favourites might head straight for the pastas, risottos and pizzas.
|
|
Whether you're enjoying the robustness of a Bolognese or Carbonara, or opt for the wonderful sea aromas of a Putanesca or Pescatora, your only problem will be choosing whether to have it with penne, spaghetti or tagliatelle.
|
|
Few Newcastle Restaurants have a reputation for such great pizza as Portofino.
|
|
Traditional pizzas like the famous Quattro Stagioni and the Napoli are always a treat, and gourmet specialities, like the Parma ham finished off with asparagus and baked to crispy-crust perfection, are certain to leave you planning your next visit.
|
|
Perhaps a bottle of full-bodied chianti from the wine list is all that's needed to properly furnish a dinner for two. If you bring the kids, they will have a few tasty options from their own menu, something to excite every young palate.
