Portofino

Fantastic dinner spot in Split, easily our favorite meal during our 5-night stay! Our server, Toni, was outstanding and gave excellent recommendations. We had the goat cheese salad, filet, ribeye, and ravioli. All perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Be sure to save room for dessert! We started with the Lemon & Raspberry Tart and the Warm Mascarpone Cake, both incredible, and ended up adding the Tiramisu alla Portofino (a deconstructed tiramisu) every bite was perfection. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our evening at Portofino. The place felt very calm and cozy. The servers were super professional and made us feel well taken care of. My tuna steak looked amazing, and while I’d have liked a bit more punch in the flavor, it was still really good. The lemon and raspberry tart was the perfect dessert. Overall it was a great experience, far from the typical tourist spots. Edit: We returned to Portofino on our final evening in Split, and it once again exceeded expectations. It easily stood out as the best restaurant we visited during our trip. The staff (Atanas) even remembered allergies from our first visit. We’ve tried most of the menu now, and everything was delicious. Definitely a must-visit if you get the chance.

Service: Great experience with Toni! We had a lovely dinner for 11 of us and the staff did an excellent job keeping us served. Ambiance: Situated in lovely quad…great outdoor experience. Lighting is perfect. Food is solid. My favorite was the goat cheese salad. Desserts are creative and tasty. Beautifully played.

This restaurant is definitely worth the money. Excellent atmosphere, very close to the heart of the Old-town. The dishes are delicious and real eye candies. They have open kitchen. The staff are polite and proactive, like in the big book. Each dish delivery has a ceremony that introduces it. The terrace is excellent for morning coffee or early afternoon snacks. I give a heartfelt five stars and more nominate to Michelin.

We went there for the grilled octopus but found out that it was only available for lunch. Nonetheless, the monk fish carpaccio and lobster bisque were delicious. The filet mignon and lamb rack were both excellent. Service was great!

Great location in the Old Town of Split, in a shaded spot where even on hot summer days you don’t feel the heat too much. The service was excellent – very friendly and attentive waiters. The dishes arrived quickly, and the staff always made sure to ask if everything was okay. When it comes to the food, compared to other Croatian restaurants in Split, this one really stands out. The meals are not just typical tourist-oriented dishes, but carefully prepared from high-quality ingredients with a lot of passion. Starters, main courses, and desserts – everything was absolutely delicious. We were served by a waiter named Luka, who was extremely helpful and made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic service and incredible food! Don’t hesitate for a second—this restaurant goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. The staff are attentive, everything runs seamlessly, and the experience is truly unforgettable. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Portofino in Split offers one of the most beautiful dining settings in the old town, right against the backdrop of the historic Diocletian’s Palace. We enjoyed a candlelit dinner in a charming courtyard that felt romantic and timeless – perfect for an evening out. The food was exceptional. The lobster bisque was rich and flavorful, the salmon Remington was cooked to perfection, and the ravioli with truffle was absolutely delicious. To finish, the mascarpone cheesecake topped with ice cream was easily the best dessert I’ve had in a long time. Service was equally impressive. Our server, Leon, was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations. Everything came out promptly, and he ensured the entire evening ran smoothly. Overall, Portofino offers a memorable dining experience with amazing food, great service, and an unbeatable atmosphere. An outstanding dinning experience for anyone looking for a romantic dinner in Split’s old town.
