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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

We had a fantastic experience at Portofino! Our server, Toni, was absolutely wonderful – attentive, friendly, and made us feel very well taken care of throughout the evening. His recommendations were spot on and added so much to the dining experience. The lobster pasta with truffle was a real highlight – rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The freshness of the seafood with the earthy truffle made it unforgettable. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Toni’s excellent service!

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!
