richo99 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Has anyone visited the re-opened Portofino? Myself and my wife enjoyed going before it closed down and became the Bay Tree. I wondered if anyone has been recently and if it is still as good as it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish1 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 It's the same owners as before and the same friendly front of house staff. We went last week. It's as good, if not better, than it was before. Lets hope it gets enough custom to stay open this time, as I missed a decent italian within walking distance. Oh, and their tomato garlic bread was always second to none IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if they do 'bring your own wine' on week nights any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KATIEB_23 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Just phoned up myself... (0114 2555655) - Yes, you can bring your own wine for £2 corkage fee - They will be up & running doing deliveries like they used to in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool - will they deliver Pizza + Nice Salad do you know? Been looking for somewhere that will do that for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking for somewhere that will do that for a while.I'll check what their plan is when I go for dinner on Thursday, but if it's anything like before - then YES They had everything on the restaurant menu available to order... (even the steak dishes etc) and their pizzas were THE BEST! Nice thin authentic italian bases, & really generous with the toppings. Mmmm.... I was SO upset when they shut down!

missymarsbar Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 We went there on Sunday - still just as good! Menu is the same as before. We missed it when it closed. Portofino do the best pizza in Sheff in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish1 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I had squid starter and fillet steak for main when I went. Both top notch. Forgot they used to do BYO wine. Think another visit soon is likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richo99 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Visited last night and it was excellent. Menu is similar to what it was before but not exactly the same. You can BYO for £2 corkage fee. I had Tiger Prawns starter and the Curry linguine for main which was excellent. My wife had Aubergine and Pizza which was very nice also. Extras like Garlic bread was not on the menu but we ordered one with our main courses which was excellent. Thoroughly recommended and we will be going back again.

swordfish1 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 They took the tomato garlic bread off the menu before they closed the first time, but would always do it to order. Never understood why, as it's quite simply the best garlic bread I've ever had. I'm hungry now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
