Portofino

Seafood restaurant · North Beach

@eater

"Portofino is a charming seafood restaurant, serving items such as whole roasted Dungeness crab, cioppino, po’boys, pasta, and more. The decor and ceiling only add to the restaurant’s allure, and now that you’re in a long-term relationship, you likely won’t mind cracking into a messy crab together. This is the kind of low-key spot that’ll prove you’ve still got some tricks up your sleeve." - Dianne de Guzman, Stefanie Tuder
