If you're missing an average run of the mill hugh street Italian like you'd get back in the UK then this is your place! The dough balls were far too big, more like bread rolls than nice small crispy dough balls you get in Pizza Express. The meat balls and spaghetti had a very tasty sauce and nicely cooked pasta...

Amazing food. Quick and great service. Good value. And you can choose if you want small or regular portion. Perfect if you would like more than one dish. The manager/owner was talking to everyone making a great atmosphere!! We love it!! Xxx

We stumbled on this place as we were looking for some friends staying nearby and as we were hungry and the placed was pretty full we decided to give it a go. We were not disappointed. Great selection of Italian dishes and also good wine. We have been travelling through Asia for almost 2 months and having pasta and wine... More

On our arrival at Porto Bistro we were taken back by the vast amount of people in the resturant but, having plenty of time we decided to venture in and was warmly greeted by the owner who is an expat, travelled the world and decided to settle in Thailand. We ordered our wine (Vast selection and fantastically priced in comparison... More

Four of us went for a meal here and all were extremely dissatisfied. My sister ordered dough balls with a dip as a starter - what a joke! What she received was 4-5 while bread rolls - like the ones you get in tesco. Way too much for one person and most def not doughballs. Similarly the 'homemade' bruschetta I... More

I've heard so many people rave about this place, both online and on the island, that I had to give it a try. Upon entering the restaurant during a quiet part of the afternoon, I was initially given a very friendly greeting by a man I assumed to be the manager. Unfortunately, he was on his way out the door... More

Come here in April 2013, had a pizza here, the pizza came fairly quickly, but that pizza was probably the best I've had out there. The service is very good, with the staff being friendly. Prices are reasonable. Would recommend.

As a New Yorker I don't give out compliments for pizza easily but these guys make the best pizza I've had not just in Thailand but better than any I have even found in England where I now live.

We went to Portobello with a group of 10 people. It is a nice restaurant with nice atmosphere. The menu offers delicious things. Bread dip and antipasti platter were yummi starters. All the pizzas including calzone, mixed grill platter or salad with goats cheese were great. The pasta dishes were delicious - it's homemade, but to be honest quite small... More
