What great service!! We were greeted right away and sat immediately. The inside is beautiful and I really enjoyed their lit wine cork wall with Italy displayed in the middle. Our server was so nice and interacted with all of us. She definitely has been in the industry for a while because she is one of the best servers I've met in a w ... read more

The food was spectacular and a great place for a valentine's dinner. I had the chicken saltimbucca with the homemade papardelle and my date had the lemon chicken picatta.. Both were outstanding. We started with the bruschetta with pesto and it was tasty. We were too full for dessert, but I'm sure they would be great too.

My husband and I moved to N.H.
My husband and I moved to N.H. from Boston last year. We were always in search of a good Italian restaurant in the area. Coming from Boston and being lucky to grow up with the North End a few miles away, I was skeptical we'd find a place...until we stumbled upon Portofino. It's in a strip mall in Merrimack next to a Domino's Pizza. T ... read more

I am originally from New York, and have spent a lot of time in Italy, so I am a difficult connoisseur of Italian restaurants. Spoiled, actually.

Any, I came here expecting a less than stellar approximation of Italian, but I was very pleasantly surprised, as my dish was very good.

Nice place and our second time here. The food is tasty and the service good. Portions are a fair size and the fresh bread with dipping oil is something we like very much. I like the layout of the restaurant. Not too crowded and nicely decorated for the holidays. We did have to wait a while for our server to notice us at first. Funny ... read more

We love coming here -- the food is great and the service is fabulous. Juliana, the bartender, is so lovely, kind and welcoming. The bread and the herb-infused olive oil that accompanies it is beyond delicious. And the chicken marsala is out of this world good.  Highly recommend!

If you love the smell of garlic this place is heavenly! We had a lovely dinner. Delicious hot bread with a slightly spicy dipping oil (or butter, your choice), fried mozzarella with a nice tomato sauce to start.

We had a party of 6 who meet once a year and have a lot of catching up to do. Portofino let us move at our own pace and we’re very attentive. Then came the food, which was really just fantastic. Very fresh and great flavors. We were all very happy.

The owners were very kind, practical and helpful with our reservation, ordering ahead for our group, and basically making it a memorable evening. We could allow our guests to choose from a menu put together by the restaurant and I. Everyone left happy.

Ventured up to Merrimac after not finding an Italian restaurant in Nashua we really liked. The staff at Portofino is great. Our two favorites are their lobster raviolis and calamari diavolo. Spwcial requests were handled with no hesitation. Now one of our favorite retaurants in the area.
