Portovino LAVAL

We were a BIG group (over 30). One the rare occasion I experienced great service as part of a group. Thanks to our server, Sargio! . Both meals were good. I took the spaghetti con salsiccia. My husband got the Peperonita, pancetta E funghi Pizza. I tested the penne con pollo and the Ravioli con carne. Of all 4 the penne con polo was the best. Our deserts were good as well. Nothing negative to say! Thanks again.

Great experience from Victor and team! Gorgeous restaurant, delicious menu and very professional staff! I highly recommended for big group since the restaurant is very spacious!💞

First off, the food was absolutely delicious and our entire party was delighted! I did find the menu to be a bit overpriced, especially pasta... The waitress was friendly and the service was quick.

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Hype or the Price We had high hopes for our brunch at Portovino Laval, but unfortunately, the experience left a lot to be desired. We arrived for our 10:30am reservation, starting with a crepe and an omelet, and were looking forward to relaxing with some coffee before getting more food. To our surprise, at 11:45am—while we were still mid-meal—the waiter approached to let us know we had 10 minutes left before we had to leave, as the next seating was at 12:30pm. This was the first time we were informed of any kind of time limit. Neither during the reservation process nor when we walked in were we told that our table was timed. After that warning, the whole experience turned sour. We felt rushed and uncomfortable, as if we needed to wolf down our food and get out. That’s not how anyone wants to feel during a supposedly relaxed brunch. To top it off, after spending $145 (after tax and tip) on what was a very average and now tainted meal, we asked to speak with the owner to share our concerns. Unfortunately—and perhaps unsurprisingly—he showed zero interest in our feedback. Safe to say, we won’t be coming back, and we certainly won’t be recommending Portovino to friends or family. There are plenty of places in Laval that offer great food and respectful customer service. This isn’t one of them.

It was a great experience. I went for the brunch (buffet) on Sunday. The quality of the food was good. You had breakfast and lunch options together. The staff was so friendly and polite. They kept coming to your table to make sure you were ok. If you are looking for a unique experience for brunch, don't hesitate to go here. You won't regret it.

We celebrated my son's confirmation this weekend! We were a group of 20 people. The atmosphere is bright, modern and inviting. A variety and good choices of food! The food was great! Flavorful, quality was great and portions were good as well! Everyone really enjoyed it, not one negative comment from our guests! To top it off our server was just phenomenal! Nicholas was a real gem, great communication with us, very attentive, very friendly and accommodating! Nicholas made the experience even better! Shout out to Nicholas! No complaints here and will definitely be returning!

We had a wonderful lunch time at Portovino Laval celebrating my son's Confirmation with family. The restaurant was modern and bright. Food was excellent with a lot of choices for everyone. Appetizer plates were delicious and presented well. Main course plates were generous and served quickly. Best part of the entire experience was the staff, from the host greeting us all and helping us get seated to the wait staff. Our server was amazing, Nicholas was always around to ensure that everything was perfect and made it feel like we were family. Highly recommend this restaurant and if you have the chance ask for Nicholas and you won't regret it. Congratulations to the entire Portovino Laval family on a job well done all around. We will be returning to see you again soon!

Went there on a Monday, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. I’d definitely recommend! I didn’t know it was a bring-your-own-wine spot, so I was glad they mentioned it during the call when I made the reservation.

A fancy Italian restaurant with excellent service. They are very flexible with the menu. My gnocchi were off the menu. I wasn't interested with there gorgonzola offer. The appetizers were nice, octopus, calamari and arrancini. We enjoyed our meals. Byow.

Had a lovely lunch with my MIL and wife here when we were visiting. It was my MIL's pick, but I wish I knew that it was strictly a BYO wine restaurant, as I would have brought a bottle. It is a cool concept, something I don't run across too often at home for nicer establishments. Wine glasses were already on the table, but they were cleared when I told them we had no wine. The menu is 3 courses, soup or salad, an entree and a desert. I had the penne with vodka sauce, my wife has the salmon and her mom had the lamb chops. Everything was very tasty and the servings were plenty, especially for lunch. The restaurant was huge and fairly empty mid day, which makes sense as I am sure it appeals mainly to business lunches. The deserts were pretty small, but that is fine, since it provides a nice sweet cap to the meal without getting too heavy. Coffee is also included.

Decent Italian chain with a huge menu. The beef tartar was very good. Perfect portion. The pizzas were also great, one was definitely big enough for 2 people. The burrata appetizer was great also. All in all the food is very good but slightly overpriced.

Amazing restaurant. We had good service, nice ambiance not too loud or busy for a Thursday evening. The menu has so many options. We enjoy the bring your wine aspect. All the food was fresh and timely. Would try the brunch next time which is on sundays, $50 per person

Très grande surface pour ce restaurant qui est idéal pour des grandes tablées et des groupes. Comme c'est situé proche du terminus du métro et qu'il y a un grand parking, une belle option pour des gens venant aussi bien de Montréal que Laval. Nous y sommes allés un samedi midi, simplement parce que nous avions un rdv plus tard dans le même coin. La place n'était pas trop pleine mais plusieurs y étaient pour célébrer des anniversaires. Un menu du type table d'hôtes avec entrée, dessert et café inclus avec tout plat choisi. Compter environ 30-35$ par tête pour le midi. C'est assez dispendieux quand même, cependant les portions étaient généreuses, donc nous avons ramené de quoi manger le lendemain. Les desserts sont de petite taille mais très bons. Globalement nous avons été bien servi, la nourriture était bonne. Donc je pourrais y retourner si je suis dans les coins.

Ambiance is very nice, good music. I took the Margherita pizza and it was delicious - quite a large portion. Well worth the money! Would definitely come back again

Portovino Laval, Laura & Costa I hosted my mother's 80th surprise party, with a family group of 30 guests. The owners were kind enough to accommodate an aging group and provided us with the comfort of seating on the main floor so that no one would have to venture up the stairs. The decor of the resto is very nice, not too dark, not too bright. The service was great and the food was delicious. Thank you to Laura & Costa, who are great hosts. My event was a great success. They made us feel like we were at home. Thank you very much for everything, and we will definitely see you again Jackie T
